“a music, pretty good idea for most people. So I've heard you talk a little bit about, um, you and Andrew Huberman talk about rhodiola rosea. Yeah. And I've been sort of interested in this, um, as a, you know, fatigue reducer, cognitive enhancer.”

“like something's happening here. What you will generally see is if you look at markers, like heart rate variability, what will often happen with rhodiola is the same dose of high intensity exercise. When you use rhodiola will not drive HRV as much. That's why we say it's like an adaptogen.”
Discussed
“like an adaptogen. That's why it, it mitigates the stress response. I have not seen any evidence that rhodiola would do something like improve baseline resting HRV over time. So it's not like a recovery agent, but it seems to make harder, higher intensity exposure things not as damaging if that without compromising performance.”

“But we could blind you to Rhodiola almost surely and you wouldn't know it. And what about in terms of like you say taking in the morning just to be safe, but like if you're wanting a performance enhancement. You can take it at night.”

“that much, despite it's not a small amount of research here. If you want to especially stack up like rhodiola to be like, you have a mountain to go on with beetroot juice and you have a pebble like on rhodiola. We like it. We use it a lot. We use, I've used a ton of different forms over the years.”
