Raw Garlic, Egg Yolks, Heat Strokes, and Melatonin : 1531

A rapid-fire research roundup covering five biohacking topics. Dave Asprey separates the viral raw garlic trend's real biochemistry from its overblown claims, explains why a one-month HEPA filtration study showing cognitive improvement matters, and connects new egg yolk peptide research to his case for whole eggs. He also contrasts deliberate heat stress with the lasting cardiovascular damage from uncontrolled heat stroke, and interprets a large observational study linking long-term melatonin use to elevated heart failure risk.
