When you’re off, you’re off… We’ve all been there before. But when it seems to happen more often than not, or even so much so that you unknowingly accept it as being normal, a circadian issue may be to blame. More specifically, your circadian rhythms, which orchestrate nearly every biological process in your body, and […]
When you’re stressed, I think we’d all agree one of the last places we look to alleviate it, is in our gut. But, as is tradition with our ironically entertaining biology, that may actually be the best place to start. With the caveat that this “Starting” needs to be proactive, before you become stressed in […]
It’s true…. People are often annoying, time consuming, stressful, and not nearly as cool as dogs. But that doesn’t mean social isolation is the solution. At least, if you care about your cognitive longevity. Because as much of a hassle dealing with other humans can sometimes be, communicating and socializing is deeply rooted in both […]
If you’re like me, you always heard HDL Cholesterol was the beneficial type, and you may have even explored why exactly its less-dense counterpart “LDL” was the less-beneficial type. But, you never really took the time to understand why. What specifically does this densely-packed cholesterol carrying lipoprotein do that stimulates positive biological happening rather than […]
If you thought Diamonds were the only thing that lasted forever, you my friend would be gravely mistaken. As we human happened to craft a family of common manufacturing substances which are proving to endure the test of time. So much so, we’ve even come up with a nifty name for them “Forever Chemicals”. Or […]
You can’t scroll too long in the Longevity sphere without coming across one of the new darlings of health optimization, heat exposure. Or at least what it is most commonly marketed with, saunas. And unlike most health trends, this practice does in-fact have some long-term and robust research to backup its vitality boosting claims. As […]
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, […]
