To Protein or Not to Protein… That is the question… For many people trying to figure out the optimal balance for present day health and long-term vitality. And right on queue with all heavily debated topics, there’s interesting data from both ends of the spectrum, making the clarity equivalent to driving through a mud storm. […]

Although our 5lb mushy membrane only takes up around ~2% of total body mass, it consumes a WHOPPING 20% of total energy. Making our neurons some of the most energy hungry cells we have… Which makes sense since they are the foundation for the cognitive prowess which has set us humans apart from the rest […]

We’ve all been caught “Lifeing” alittle too hard at some point or another… And all that really means is, we’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing! Time well spent when we consider the importance of Good Social Connections as it pertains to that Longevity thing we love to talk about so much… Now, that […]

If you’re like me, or a member of the human species, there’s just something hypnotizing about a sweet savory treat when your stressed. Hypnotizing in a way which not only makes you crave it, but continue to shovel it down your pie-hole without any sensation of being full or satisfied. In fact, the most pertinent […]

For quite a while now we’ve known and heard about the effects of poor sleep on our eating…. And if you haven’t, unfortunately it does not make you crave a BIG Nourishing -Real Whole Food- Mess of a platter. In fact it does quite the opposite, modulating our energy regulating hormones in such a way […]

100 Billion…. …is the modest number of neurons the average, soon-to-be intelligent walking ape comes equipped with at the start of this thing called life… A Number which shrinks by design, being pruned to about 80-90 billion by early adulthood. It is HERE, these “Oh So Critical” brain and nervous system cells which facilitate the […]

For anyone who’s attempted to paddle against an oncoming current or bike against the wind, you know that momentum makes ALL the difference. When it’s at your back, it propels you forward to whatever figurative or literal destination you desire. However, when it’s in your purview it acts as a MAJOR opposing force. So why […]

We all remember singing the “bone song” in grade school, right? Entertainingly outlining how all of our bones inter-connect… A song which I now ironically cannot remember for the life of me…. Either way, despite that crash-course in connectivity, it provides little context around WHY our bones are so important in the first place, instead […]

In this weeks edition of “What’s Steeling our Healthy Years” I’d like to focus attention on a grim reaping condition which we’ll ALL likely face if we’re on this beautiful floating rock long enough… We’re talking Cardiovascular Disease, or the chronic buildup of dysfunction across the vast and precise cardiovascular system. The system which transfers […]

When you look back at the legendary cinema masterpiece Happy Gilmore, it wasn’t until the main character Happy (Adam Sandler) found his “Happy Place” that things started to go his way. And where was this secret destination? No place other than right inside his own head. When he channeled this internal state he was able […]

It may be hard to believe but for most of intelligent walking ape existence (aka human existence) there wasn’t too much to do when the sun went down. In fact, the most important activity was NOT to get eaten. Making it quite ironic that our modern western norms have now made staying up into the […]

Truth is, the majority of us intelligent walking apes on this beautiful floating rock will spend a large proportion of our lives working, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. As it has the potential to be one of the most purpose-driven activities we do. OR, as many people have experienced first-hand, the exact opposite. […]

When it comes to the most mind-numbing condition on the Planet, PREVENTION is the only Treatment….. At least at time of this writing in 2023. In other words, despite Billions of dollars being flooded into research on Neurodegeration each year, there has been NO success in identifying a way to reverse the condition. A way […]

Living in a world of unlimited fuel being shoveled into the local power plants seems like a good thing, at least at first glance… Charging up ALL the devices in our homes 24/7 with no need to worry about missing the next talking dog video that scrolls-up on our feed. That is, of course until […]

Despite what the “I lift things Up and Put them Down” bros on your social media feeds say, Muscle DOES, in fact, DO MORE than make one look cool naked. And I would actually argue that what you see in the mirror is one of the LEAST cool things on muscles resume… This tissue not […]
