Maximising Performance: Essential Supplements for Athletes
Reading Time: 7 minutes. For peak athletic performance, I recommend focusing on five essential supplements backed by scientific research. Start with high-quality protein at 1.5g/kg body weight, creatine monohydrate (3-5g daily) for power output, and strategic caffeine timing (200-400mg pre-workout). Add fish oil (1,000mg DHA/EPA) for hormone regulation and proper electrolyte management with 1,000-2,000mg salt…
Does Ivermectin Kill Scabies Immediately?
Reading Time: 9 minutes. Ivermectin is highly effective against scabies but doesn’t kill mites immediately. It works by paralysing and immobilising the mites, preventing them from feeding and reproducing. This process may take a few days, and you’ll likely need two doses taken 7-14 days apart to fully eliminate the infestation, as ivermectin doesn’t kill the…
Parenting Through a Health Crisis: Lessons From a Reddit Story on Eczema & TSW
Reading Time: 10 minutes. When your child struggles with eczema and topical steroid withdrawal, you’ll discover that healing isn’t just medical—it’s holistic. You’ll learn to navigate complex symptoms by embracing alternative therapies, understanding emotional impacts, and advocating fiercely. Probiotics, mindfulness, and supportive medical partnerships can transform your journey. Research shows that 90% of parents facing…
The Hidden Connections Between Metabolism and Mental Health
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Recent scientific discoveries reveal compelling links between our metabolic health and mental well-being. We’re finding that metabolic dysfunction disrupts neural processes, while ultra-processed foods and environmental toxins create devastating feedback loops affecting brain chemistry and bodily systems. The connection extends to generational impacts, with parental metabolic disorders correlating to increased neurodevelopmental…
Navigating Caregiving and Dementia: A Personal Journey
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Steering dementia caregiving requires a multi-faceted approach focused on early detection, daily management, and self-care. You’ll need to watch for subtle changes in your loved one while managing sleep disruption, decision fatigue, and emotional strain. Building a support network, incorporating brain-healthy nutrition, and staying informed about healthcare options are essential steps.…
Navigating Brain Health: Insights on Emotion and Choice
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Our brain’s health depends on the complex interplay between seven sensory gateways, the prefrontal cortex, and the limbic system. We constantly process information through our eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, while our prefrontal cortex manages decisions and our limbic system handles emotions. Through proper nutrition, stress management, and emotional regulation, we…
Understanding Brain Health: Definitions and Implications
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Brain health is a complex, multi-dimensional concept that I’ve found extends far beyond the traditional “healthy vs diseased” binary model. It encompasses cognitive fitness, emotional regulation, and social connectedness across your lifespan. Modern research shows that up to 45% of cognitive decline is preventable through targeted interventions, while resilience mechanisms and…
How Do You Take Ivermectin for Scabies?
Reading Time: 15 minutes. To effectively treat scabies with ivermectin, you’ll typically take a standard dose of 200 µg/kg, usually as two doses spaced 7-14 days apart. Take it orally with food, ideally during or after a high-fat meal for maximum absorption. Expect cure rates ranging from 70-100%, with a single dose yielding a 62.4%…
Unlocking Mental and Career Success Through Fitness
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Regular exercise powerfully enhances your cognitive function and career trajectory through increased neuroplasticity, improved memory retention, and heightened mental performance. Through consistent physical training, you’ll develop sharper analytical skills, better emotional regulation, and enhanced creative problem-solving abilities. Exercise optimises your brain’s processing power and professional capabilities when combined with proper nutrition…
Maximising Muscle Performance With Creatine and Beta Alanine
Reading Time: 5 minutes. Creatine and beta alanine work synergistically to enhance muscle performance through distinct yet complementary mechanisms. Creatine rapidly regenerates ATP through phosphocreatine donation, while beta-alanine forms carnosine to buffer intracellular pH levels. This biochemical partnership optimises energy production and maintains ideal cellular conditions during intense exercise. Research demonstrates improved strength, power output,…
