-
Rhonda Patrick, PhD
PhD in biomedical science; founder of FoundMyFitness.
Sauna research (she has published on heat exposure), micronutrients, omega-3s, and aging — known for deep dives into the underlying studies.
-
Susanna Søberg, PhD
Danish metabolism researcher; author of Winter Swimming and published studies on cold- and heat-exposure habits.
Cold-water immersion and sauna contrast — the source of the often-quoted weekly cold/heat dose thresholds.
-
Michael Hamblin, PhD

The academic literature behind red and near-infrared light — mechanisms, dosing, and the limits of the evidence.
-
Matthew Walker, PhD
Professor of neuroscience and psychology at UC Berkeley; author of Why We Sleep.
Sleep architecture, temperature and sleep, and why the sleep environment matters more than gadgets.
-
Satchin Panda, PhD
Professor at the Salk Institute; circadian biology researcher.
Circadian rhythms, light timing, and time-restricted eating — the science behind when light hits your eyes.
Where we check the actual studies
- PubMed
The primary index of peer-reviewed biomedical research. Where we go to read the actual studies behind a claim.
- Examine
Independent summaries of supplement and intervention evidence, graded by strength. No ads, no products.
- Cochrane Library
Systematic reviews — the most conservative read on whether an intervention actually works.
- ClinicalTrials.gov
Registered trials, including ones still running — useful for seeing what hasn’t been proven yet.
