Missing Micronutrients, Necessary Supplements & The Science Behind Why They Work | Dr. Rhonda Patrick

from Mayim Bialik's Breakdown

What if aging didn’t have to mean decline?   Dr. Rhonda Patrick (Ph.D. in biomedical science, expert in nutritional biochemistry and aging, and founder of FoundMyFitness) reveals the cutting-edge science behind living longer, feeling sharper, and preventing disease with evidence-based lifestyle changes. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Patrick uncovers the hidden nutrient deficiencies that may be driving depression and anxiety, and how your daily habits could be quietly accelerating inflammation, cognitive decline, and chronic illness. Learn why creatine may be the brain-boosting supplement you’re missing, the 2-minute "exercise snack" can rewire your brain and boost metabolic health, how running may outperform antidepressants for mood regulation, why living near a golf course might increase your toxic exposure and how alcohol affects women’s brains more severely than men’s. She also breaks down how much protein you really need (especially for vegans), coffee’s health benefits and how to brew it for maximum antioxidants, the role of nutrigenomics in disease prevention and personalized nutrition. If you're curious about longevity science, biohacking, or how to boost your brain and body without overhauling your life, this Dr. Rhonda Patrick interview is packed with practical, science-backed tools to upgrade your healthspan and feel better starting today.   The Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint: https://bdnfprotocols.com/   The Omega-3 Supplementation Guide: https://fmfomega3guide.com/   How to Train According to the Experts: https://howtotrainguide.com/   Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/   BialikBreakdown.com YouTube.com/mayimbialik Learn more about your ad choices.
