For a long time, the health benefits of eating plants were focused around three main attributes. Their generous composition of H20 (water), their vitamins and their minerals. This combination, along with the taken for granted carbohydrates, were the basis for their perceived benefits on us humans. That was, until the nutritional scientific revolution REALLY started […]

If I were to tell you that we humans spend 30% of our lives taking medications would you be surprised? I for one know It’d certainly get me pondering. That’s why I REALLY had to sit down and process the fact that the average person is actually much MORE reliant on these magic pills! To […]

We’ve all had that roommate who would live their life putting dirty dishes in the sink with the intention of cleaning them later (if you haven’t, you may want to do some self-reflection). But as we all know “Later” quickly turns into a smelly confrontation that could only be done justice on a reality show […]

It is well documented that our Microbiome, or the trillions of micro-organisms which live within us, is NOT what it used to be. As the health and diversity of these creepy crawlers has diminished quite a bit since our hunter gatherer origins. And that may not seem like a BIG Deal… Until, you realize that […]

Being Kind is often portrayed as a chore in this modern world. Something that we need to go out of our way to do, with little immediate “RON”( Return-on-Niceness) to show for it… So how exactly do we get people to willingly do more if it? Simple! By teaching them the TRUE incentives! As this […]

There is no bigger commonality across ALL the top diseases we intelligent walking apes face than the low-dose chronic arousal of the immune system… aka Chronic Inflammation. Being such a BIG factor in cellular dysfunction and disease that we’ve been calling it “Longevity Liability Numero Uno” for years now. Regularly discussing strategies which control & […]

It seems the more modern science looks into it, the more evidence there is explaining why after 50+ million years of primate evolution, sleep hasn’t gone anywhere. That is a BIG feat for a daily activity that sends an organism into a state of unconsciousness, leaving them totally vulnerable to predators and threats. Because for […]

“Eat Less & Move More”…. the age-old advice from primary care physicians everywhere. And although most people probably would improve their present-day health by attempting to follow this incredibly vague advice. You have to wonder, is it REALLY the optimal strategy for Health over time? Aka Longevity? Potentially, but it’s hard to argue for… As […]

We ALL know that in this world, Timing is Everything! But what I bet you didn’t realize, is that THIS was the case long before that saying meme’d its way into existence. In Fact, this “Timing is Everything” relevance dates back to life as we know it. With early organisms developing and evolving in a […]

I recently learned that bitter-sweet feeling can in-fact, come from what you eat… Because that was exactly how I felt as I wrapped-up my multi-year eating experiment. One which entailed incorporating some strategic, high quality animal-based foods into my dietary strategy after 6-years of a plant based lifestyle. And the results only solidified my own […]

In prior posts we’ve talked about how MORE muscle was generally linked to MORE Longevity. Being a critical tissue which not only keeps us structurally functional but one which is responsible for a lot of the KEY biochemical activity that keeps us young and efficient on the inside! However, during this muscle love-fest, we assumed […]

I always thought if technology was going to kill us humans, it would be through some sort-of “Sky-Net-like” scenario where the machines we built turn against us… And although that is STILL a very-possible outcome, the truth of the matter is, the human killing spree has already begun! One which is slowly, yet methodically, chipping […]

The Modern Day Mental Health dilemma is a sticky one. A nonsensical reality where we humans live in the most prosperous time society has ever seen, yet we’re the saddest we’ve been in recordable history… A dilemma which only seems to be getting worse as the advancements in technology, science and pharmaceuticals soar. So what […]

The Immune system has had no problems getting its fair share of press these days. However, almost every article (scientific or not) fails to address the highly combustible elephants in the cellular room. “Mini” elephants which sit at the very core to complex cellular life as we know it, having a direct and indirect effect […]

If I were to tell you that the barely understood complexities of the human mind is somehow influenced by little microscopic non-self organisms which take-up residence in your intestinal lining… You’d ask what science fiction flick I was referencing… In which I would “Oh So Pleasantly” get to inform you that there is NO science […]
