What if we told you there’s a holy grail of molecules that can prevent early aging, promote longevity, and help prevent dementia and Alzheimer’s? This super powerful hormone, neurotransmitter, and antioxidant is melatonin. Today’s episode is a masterclass on melatonin and its crucial role in our bodies.
Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Deanna Minich to discuss the crucial role of melatonin in our body as an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and circadian regulator. Dr. Minich reveals early warning signs of low melatonin levels and lifestyle habits that can disrupt its production. She also covers the latest research on melatonin and critical considerations for supplementation. If you are looking for a deep dive into melatonin, this episode is for you.
Dr. Deanna Minich is a nutrition researcher, educator, and functional medicine-trained clinician with a unique approach to nutrition that combines physiology and psychology. She has served on the Institute of Functional Medicine’s Nutrition Advisory Board and curriculum committee and is a faculty member teaching nutrition for the Advanced Practice Module for Environmental Health. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the American Nutrition Association and is President of the American College of Nutrition.

*Dr. Minich’s note about the animal study mentioned: Seasonal breeders, like mice, use changing light and melatonin to regulate reproduction. In animals living in cold climates like Canada, breeding is timed with daylight changes to avoid winter births when conditions are harsh. Humans, however, are not seasonal breeders and can reproduce year-round. If melatonin caused infertility in humans, it would be widespread, which it is not. Melatonin helps counteract infertility caused by environmental toxins due to its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects.
