It’s estimated that over 90% of US and global farmlands are sprayed with synthetic pesticides. And it’s not just one — conventional farmers routinely apply multiple pesticides to a single crop over a growing season. A practice that new data is exposing to have major unintended health implications. Because while most of these chemicals aren’t […]

Listen, I hate to be the bearer of bad gym-bro news, so I’ll let science deliver the message: strength — or the sacred neurological ability to recruit muscle fiber and apply force upon the external world — may not be the longevity panacea we once thought. Not to say it’s worthless, because there’s plenty of […]

If you’re like me, there’s a good chance you (used to) save your sauna session for a rest day, or simply when you have some free time. Which isn’t a bad strategy, because there’s been quite a bit of data suggesting that just being consistent with spending time in this hot box, can lead to […]

When it comes to your most sacred and guarded cells (neurons), the base case should always be that they operate alittle bit differently than all the other cells in your body. Not only because their shape is significantly (and oddly) different, or that their energy dynamics are much more demanding, or even that unlike almost […]

It’s not often you look back at something your mom told you growing up and think “Boy, that was completely wrong”. And that day ISN’T going to be today, because science is once again validating mom’s wisdom. As one of the very things your mom used to nag you about each and every day, may […]

Yes, your mitochondria may be the most important part of your cell, dictating your daily mood, feel, cognition and physical function through its modulation of energy dynamics. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually calling the shots… In fact, new research has brought their interesting origins back into the limelight, highlighting how their ancient bacterial roots […]

I think it’s safe to say most of us overlook (and under-appreciate) the fact that we have a fully staffed immune army protecting us 24x7x365…. That is, until we get sick. However, after our sniffles are gone, right on cue, we’re right back to forgetting. Specifically the fact that this highly trained group of cellular […]

If you’re one of those people who keeps “putting it off” because you think 5-minutes here or 5-minutes there won’t really do anything… Boy, do I have some news for you… News, that may convince you to re-assess this “5-minute” thesis and potentially even make you an official member of the “quick-hitting health” club. Because […]

For most, the “Golden Years” aren’t so golden. Because by the time typical 60+ year old can finally relax, prioritize family, and do exactly what they please, they’re often accompanied by aches, pains, forgetfulness, disease and health limitations. And I know what you’re thinking… “This is just what happens when we get old”… Yes, it’s […]

Not to alarm you, but there is a near 100% chance you are in the presence of microscopic particles and chemicals that are secretly and discretely stealing your health. That is, if you live anywhere in the modernized world. This is because to create said “modernized world”, we humans developed and massively scaled the production […]

If you’ve ever wondered whether your Time-Restricted Feeding (TRF) protocol is actually doing something special for your biology — or just tricking you into eating less like a psychological Jedi mind trick — you’re not alone. Because it is a question that two teams of researchers from opposite parts of the world, sought to find […]

If given a choice, most people would opt for preserving their cellular function rather than accelerating its demise. Simple logical math, right? But also, a pipe dream… Because we know this aging dynamic only goes in one direction. Well, potentially not. Because one thing that modern science has made increasingly clear is the fact that […]

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet over the last 10-years, especially looking at any health related topics, there’s a pretty high probability that you’ve heard the term “Good Bacteria”. This of course refers to the communities of micro-organisms that have been identified in some scientific way to be associated with benefits to their hosts […]

What if the reason no diet cult following can ever truly win on the internet battleground is…. They’re all potentially right! (at least a few of them)… Because long before “diets” as a concept were even a thing, our ancestors were doing alittle bit of all of them. Eating plant based, eating carnivore, and not […]

It only makes sense that the little organelles behind every single biological function we have, ARE ALSO critically important for doing biologically nothing. Well, at least based off our recollection. Because our nightly unconscious time (aka sleep) is anything but non-eventful . It’s the critical period where the body is finally able to go into […]
