@RapAdmin She has been one of my favorites to listen to. Common sense approaches and good connections to many experts in the research community. Dr. Patrick is a big fan of Sulforaphane and I was surprised that more members on this site were not taking it based on your recent survey. Thanks for sharing.

The sauna bit was very interesting. How it can really boost HGH. I know hgh is pro aging if given in injection form but this is different as it comes with great stress to the body that induces a hormetic response. I wonder if there’s a possible sauna protocol to reverse thymic involution.

I’m currently pregnant which means my thymus has temporarily shrunken a lot and man oh man, this is what it must be like to have the immunity of a 70 year old. I had forgotten what it was like to get sick the previous year when being healthy and on Rapa. I’m still eating just as well, lifestyle hasn’t much changed, but getting sick and it sucks. Very keen on getting into the sauna after the baby is born. Had just ordered a hybrid traditional / infrared one before I knew I’d be kicked out of it for essentially 9 months :grimacing: (though I have tried a handful of brief sessions at lowish temp).
