Thomas DeLauer's most repeated claims

Questionable (54/100) — Take probiotics approximately 30 minutes before consuming food to prevent stomach acid (hydrochloric acid) from killing the live microbes during the active digestion process. (Gut Health & Microbiome) source
Questionable (57/100) — Take Magnesium Malate in the morning to energize the body and fuel the energy cycle, as it is a sustained-release form that helps maintain an even-keeled mood. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Questionable (40/100) — Sauna 3 times per week in the evening to increase intracranial pressure and facilitate glymphatic drainage for brain metabolite flushing. (Cold & Heat Therapy) source
Questionable (67/100) — Avoid taking vitamins and minerals with hot coffee or tea; wait 30 to 60 minutes after consumption as tannins and caffeine can dramatically reduce absorption. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Questionable (56/100) — Magnesium L-Threonate is specifically effective for mental conditions like anxiety and depression because it has been proven to positively affect short-term and long-term memory. (Mental Health & Cognitive) source
Questionable (58/100) — Performing a 36-hour fast every two weeks can help eliminate brain fog and potentially increase the production of new brain cells. (Mental Health & Cognitive) source
Questionable (61/100) — Take 400 to 600 mg of Tongkat Ali to potentially increase testosterone levels by approximately 200 points (e.g., from 400 to 600 ng/dL) without significantly raising estrogen. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Verified (78/100) — Sleeping in a room at 66°F (compared to 75°F) increases energy expenditure and promotes the production of brown adipose tissue. (Cold & Heat Therapy) source
Questionable (62/100) — Take 200 to 500 milligrams of magnesium with each meal to restore blood levels, lower cortisol, and improve sleep quality within just a few days. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Verified (77/100) — Stress triggers the release of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-kB), a master inflammatory response that can alter gene expression; meditation has been shown to mitigate this molecular pattern. (Mental Health & Cognitive) source

Verified (77/100) — Magnesium sits on the NMDA receptor in the brain, acting as a 'gatekeeper' to prevent the receptor from being triggered by minor stressors that would otherwise catapult the body into fight-or-flight mode. (Mental Health & Cognitive) source
Verified (75/100) — Cortisol directly blocks brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and other growth factors that are necessary for increasing brain plasticity. (Mental Health & Cognitive) source
Verified (72/100) — Consume 1 teaspoon of raw honey or a small handful of berries 15 to 20 minutes before a high-carbohydrate meal to prime the liver with fructose and buffer the subsequent glucose hit. (Nutrition & Diet) source

Debunked claims

Debunked (37/100) — Supplementing with 5 to 10 grams of glutamine per day during periods of high training volume or high stress can help maintain GABA production and prevent an 'anxiety-ridden' glutamate-tilted brain. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Debunked (23/100) — Use Rutaecarpine to metabolize caffeine in approximately 3 hours instead of 6-12 hours, allowing for deeper sleep after afternoon caffeine consumption. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Debunked (26/100) — Low-dose lithium orotate (5mg) can increase glucose uptake specifically in skeletal muscle, aiding in faster recovery for active individuals. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Debunked (39/100) — A morning 'adrenal' drink containing 1/4 teaspoon of cream of tartar provides a concentrated dose of potassium (approx. 400mg) to combat morning fatigue. (Supplements & Compounds) source
Debunked (23/100) — Consuming less than 1,500mg of sodium per day is linked to a significant decrease in mood and cognitive function due to impaired neuronal firing. (Mental Health & Cognitive) source
