The only thing about things that will EVER be consistent with us intelligent walking apes is… They will change! Usually for the better, but as we’ve come to find out, not without a fair share of conundrums along the way. And that, my longevity enthused friends, is what we’re facing right here, right now, when […]

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just put in half the effort for the same results? Well ironically, this has discreetly been the underlaying theme for us humans over the last 100,000 years or so. A theme which has really accelerated throughout the ongoing enlightenment that started a few thousand years ago. Think about […]

One thing that’s quite clear in this modern world is the fact that we don’t stress like we used to. For example, thousands of years ago it was common for us homo sapiens be wary of physical danger at EVERY waking moment. However, in present day most (luckily) have the security of living in a […]

It is no secret, at least if you’ve been around these parts, that Movement is one of the most powerful health interventions that we all have at our disposal. Being displayed through a growing mountain of research to alter our cellular and metabolic self in a way that not only improves present day health, but […]

You would think that having more energy producing/burning organelles within your pretty cool meat suit, and specifically fat cells themselves, would be a good thing. However, this biological phenomena seems to be a bit of a paradox. More mitochondria technically mean there is a greater potential to synthesize excess energy and keep a healthy balance […]

One thing we often forget, mainly because we haven’t learned or remembered it. Is that memory comes if several different shapes and sizes. There are different tiers (or regions) within our 5lb mushy membrane that are responsible for different types of memory, and their amazing coordination is one of the reason we humans are lean, […]

With all innovation comes unforeseen and unintended consequences. This has been a lesson we humans have learned and re-learned for a few hundred thousand years now. Mainly because, innovation is our superpower. It’s what allowed us to build large cities, transfer information in a matter of seconds and mass produce food to feed an ever-growing […]

I know it’s hard to believe, but this world we live in filled with food stores, next day delivery and stable safe shelter…. was not the norm for the majority of our species and greater primate history. In fact, this world we’re accustom to (the last ~10,000 years) accounts for less than 00.1% of the […]

“To Protein or NOT to Protein”….. That is the question…. Or at least it was until a new debate arose around “How Much” To Protein. Not only per day, but also per meal! Because as it turns out, a growing body of literature on the topic is suggesting a few different approaches as optimal. Gotta […]

There is something truly special about the brain in childhood. It’s the time period of rapid plasticity and pruning of neurons. The developmental period where brain structure is formed and connectivity between these different regions are solidified and customized…  Ultimately paving the way for the composition of our adult minds. Which would make anything that […]

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the everything we humans ever learned about optimizing sleep compiled and presented in a way which doesn’t make our head spin…. And ironically keep us up at night? Well, I can’t say that this perfect source of accurate information currently exists. However, we’re getting alot closer, and doing it […]

Across ALL of the diseases and conditions that we modern humans face, ALOT of biological facts are different. Yet one thing seems to remain the same…. The Low Dose, Chronic Arousal, of the Immune System. And I hate to say it but this “Arousal” typically isn’t a good thing. It’s a happening which not only […]

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 […]
