The word “Microbiome” is often misconstrued, as when most people hear it they quickly draw their attention to the vast ecosystem so often talked about in the Gut. However, as we’ve learned throughout our many deep-dives on the topic, the gut is only one (popular) place these creepy microbe crawlers call home. In fact, they […]

When you think about boosting your Brain function the first thing that comes to mind are Neurons. Or those irregularly long cells which pass the electrical signals that control everything from thoughts, emotions and physical function, to where you left your keys. However, we may have been thinking about this all wrong… Or at least […]

We all know that person who can down an espresso, energy drink, or one of a million other caffeinated beverages literally minutes before they fall asleep, claiming that it just “doesn’t effect them” or “they’ve build up a tolerance”. Which, very well may be true…. However, this truth often only applies to the “Going Asleep” […]

The reason the trillions of microorganisms isolated in your gut are so important is not why you may think. Yes, they have a key impact on the health and function of the gut itself, but the true magic lays in the molecules they produce. Molecules which can traverse the selectively permeable gut wall, and enter […]

If there were a comprehensive list of things that would be most detrimental to a species survival as they evolved over thousands of years to higher advanced beings…. A sneaky contender for number one would be the mandatory nightly requirement to go unconscious for 5-8hours… AKA Sleep. Think about it, the last thing you would […]

When it comes to taking “Years off our Life” the classic contenders everybody loves to talk about are smoking, drinking, junk food and recreational drugs. And listen, you gotta give credit where credit is due, because those four things, especially when combine, have the power to synthesize the cellular dysfunction which accelerates disease. However, these […]

If there were an official list of things that you DON’T want in your Brain, number one would likely be a brain-eating amoeba, but right there behind it would be the much more common “Chronic Inflammation”. Because when the immune system gets stimulated to the point of chronic overactivity, one of the first and immediate […]

I know what you’re thinking… There’s no way that training fasted, on a 12+ hour energy drought, is as effective for building muscle and strength compared to training fully fed. It’s just basic energy mathematics, especially when it comes to progressively overloading the body to drive max adaptation. And I would instantly agree with you, […]

The last thing anyone wants to do after receiving the worst new of their life, is sit-up and put pen to paper on a new exercise routine. Especially when the last serious exercise they’ve done was years, and maybe even decades ago. But ironically, that may be one of the best things someone in that […]

The first thing that comes to mind when most people hear the word “Creatine” is…. Looking cooler naked….. Just Kidding, Muscle! Bigger, stronger, gym-bro attracting… Muscle! And there’s good reason… Because decades of research has displayed that this compound happens to have a profound impact on our lean skeletal tissue, especially their mitochondria. Acting as […]

Listen, all of our vital organs are important, that’s why they’re called “Vital”. That being said, if I had a magic button that would give one of my choosing the ability to stay young and efficient forever…. It’d have to be the Heart. Simply because, once the nutrients stop flowing, every other organ is all […]

When it comes to putting a finger on why eating your meals earlier in the day and doing it in a condensed 8-hour window or less is so beneficial… Researchers have long theorized that it has something to do with circadian rhythm’s. More specifically, eating in better alignment with the human bodies innate circadian digestive […]

If you’re like me and never once wondered where the magical chewiness of the typical mouth distracting stick of gum came from… You may be surprised to hear that it’s not exactly natural. In fact, it happens to be one of the undercover darlings of the plastic industrial complex. Often being crafted from a synthetic […]

It may be alittle weird to hear that the strength and density of your bone is directly correlated with the strength and longevity of your Brain. Reason being, there couldn’t be two more distant tissue types in the entire body. I say that sarcastically of course, I’m sure you can find a few, but the […]

If you were to question any health expert around the impact of Stress, and Stress alone, on the formation of “net-new” disease. They would be going out on a limb saying anything other than “We’re not totally sure”…. An inconvenient truth, I know. However… If you were to ask them about the impact of chronically […]
