You might assume that sleeping more helps you eat less for the obvious reason: fewer waking hours means fewer hours to eat. Simple Math, right? Couldn’t be further from the truth. In reality, consistent high-quality sleep acts as a governor on your entire hunger, craving, and appetite apparatus — regulating the delicate balance of neurochemical, […]
The 2am wake-up — where you snap awake for no reason and immediately begin re-litigating every decision you’ve ever made. A tradition like no other. Clinically known as sleep fragmentation, and it’s not some rare glitch: more than a third of adults pull this exact move at least three nights a week. But the part […]
Despite being one of the most studied supplements ever, hearing the word creatine and not immediately thinking about muscle is almost unfathomable. Because this legendary white powder has been a hallmark of pushing our physical limits for what feels like forever. It’s secret being behind enhancing cellular energy recycling — letting cells replenish their fuel […]
When you think about it, spending roughly 7 of every 24 hours in a state of pure unconsciousness is kinda silly. Not just from a time-management standpoint, but from an evolutionary survival one. Rewind a few thousand years, before comfy homes and locked doors, we (well, the tribe) slept out in the elements for thousands […]
If there’s one thing in your cells you DO NOT want to break, it’s the piece that bottlenecks every single function the cell performs. Which is exactly why scientists broke it. In mice, that is. They sabotaged the mitochondria — the critical energy and signaling hub — in a batch of unlucky rodents, and the […]
At this point, just hearing, smelling, or looking at a cup of coffee can make you feel more alert — without taking a single sip. That’s how welded this beautifully brown liquid is to the most famous stimulant on the planet. The mythical compound that blocks our sleep pressure receptors and makes us feel cognitively […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
