I’ve said it once, and i’ll say it a million times more… We don’t just go unconscious for ~30% of each day for the fun of it… We do it because it is MANDATORY for our biological business to stay open. And Science is beginning to enlighten us on why… Modern research to decode sleeps […]

Imagine you had a neighbor who instead of taking their trash to the curb like a normal upstanding citizen, just threw it in the hallway of your apartment complex. At first, it’s a minor, albeit smelly inconvenience. But after a few days, this smelly pile-up grows to the point where it broaches your apartment. Along […]

It’s kinda amazing to think that two tissue types, biological miles away (figuratively speaking), could have a significant and lasting impact on our most important organ. Yes, that one which sits behind the highly-touted, strong, selective, impenetrable wall of the blood-brain-barrier. However, that in-fact, seems to be the case. These two metabolically active tissues I […]

If I have one take-away from my nearly 10-years of reviewing the latest and greatest Longevity data on the scientific streets. I’d be that the chronic arousal of the immune system IS the disease signal, often times years before the disease diagnosis. Thus, why I’ve been calling “chronic inflammation” longevity liability numero uno for some […]

It’s not rare for vaping to be consider a “safer alternative” to smoking. Because come-on, how could cotton candy flavored misty goodness NOT be better than that harsh tobacco-y alternative. And listen, I’m not saying that’s NOT the case. However, I’m also not saying that IS the case either. Cause truth is, it’s way to […]

“Protein for Longevity” has always been framed in the context of staying strong and able into your golden years. With an adequate amount of amino acids being absolutely necessary to stimulate the all important growth signal “muscle protein synthesis”, and thus the longevity of ones structural self. But… What if that wasn’t the whole story… […]

There are only a handful of deal-breaking factors when it comes to determining your ability to Live Long and Finish Strong. Aka your likelihood of Longevity. And it just so happens, two of them are intertwined ever so ironically. Staying structurally strong, so you can be self sufficient. And staying cellularly strong, so you can […]

If you were a begrudging believer and bought into the common health adage “You Can’t Out Exercise a Bad Diet”… I have some potentially interesting news… Turns out, you may in-fact be able to out exercise it, kinda. At least according to this new research that explored the effects of exercise on ultra processed “cafeteria” […]

One of the unfortunate realities in this ever-aging world is the fact that the ONE friend that always has your back gets older, weaker and increasingly vulnerable too. Ya know, that buddy who always fights your battles half of which you’re not even aware of, that friend. Otherwise known as the well organized micro-army that […]

The average health geek would probably tell you that sugary soft drinks imposes their damage by placing and exorbitant amount of metabolic stress on the body. So much so, that they eventually drive cellular dysfunction, chronic inflammation and ultimately impair critical tissue like the energy hungry Brain, explaining how & why excess sugar influences mental […]

Most people don’t realize that their Heart doesn’t beat with exact precision minute by minute. In reality, there’s quite a bit of disparity. And that is in-fact a good thing! Because it means that the Heart in questions is flexible, resilient, and able to adapt based on the environment. Ramping up to a more consistent […]

Back in college I had an old school lacrosse coach who came fully equipped with a laundry list of old school sayings. Idioms that were often so absurd, all we could do was jokingly recite them for weeks on end. Never expecting that one day, far in the future, it may just all make sense. […]

Listen, it’s news to no one that behind every short lived buzz is a stressed out, overworking liver. But, other than that, and the obligatory hangover, most were also told, that’s really all you need to worry about. However, as we’ve come to know about our biological self, it’s never that simple. And, once again, […]

Not to alarm any diet soda enthusiasts… But new data out of Sao Paulo Brazil is throwing some pretty heavy shade your way. Highlighting how the consumption of ~190mg of these taste replacers a day, the equivalent to a single 12oz diet soda, is associated with 1.6 years of accelerated Brain aging over a 8-year […]

Tastiness aside, the side effects of chronically eating energy dense, additive riddled, nutrient scarce foods, are pretty scary. Cellular dysfunction, fat accumulation, hormone disruptions and impaired sleep quality being just the tip of the iceberg. And as if the immediate embodiment of more a tired, lethargic, achey, cloudy minded you wasn’t enough. New research is […]
