Sleep Less Than 7 Hours? This One Exercise Can Protect Your Brain & Body | Dr. Rhonda Patrick

Описание: Most people don’t realize that sleeping less than 7 hours per night can quietly damage the brain, metabolism, heart, and immune system. In this video, Dr. Rhonda Patrick breaks down the latest scientific research showing exactly what happens inside your body when sleep is consistently shortened — and more importantly, the one type of exercise proven to significantly offset the damage.

Backed by human studies, molecular biology, and cutting-edge neuroscience, this episode explains how short sleep disrupts insulin sensitivity, increases inflammation, accelerates brain aging, and raises cardiovascular risk. Dr. Patrick also explains how a specific form of exercise activates protective pathways in the brain, boosts mitochondrial function, increases BDNF, and improves metabolic health — even if your sleep isn’t perfect.

You’ll learn:
• Why sleeping under 7 hours increases disease risk
• How sleep loss affects the brain, heart, and metabolism
• The science behind exercise as a “biological shield”
• Which exercise works best when you’re sleep-deprived
• How often and when to do it for maximum benefit

This is essential viewing for anyone who struggles with sleep due to work, stress, parenting, or modern life — and wants a science-backed strategy to protect long-term health.
