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 […]

You may think switching on and off different biological processes is hard, and you’d be 100% right! However, it’s not so much the fact that we don’t know what UP or DOWN regulates many of these cellular actions, but instead, the difficult part is getting visibility, real-time, to validate if these interventions are working. No […]

Despite almost never thinking about it, there is ALOT going on inside you every single second of every single day. And I mean ALOT…. Stuff that allows you and me to not only read and write this, but also do everything else we do. For example, at this very moment there are trillions of mitochondria […]

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 […]

The cold hard truth is… MOST intelligent walking apes on this beautiful floating rock settle with dysfunction. They become expecting and accepting of the “this is just what happens when you get old” narrative to explain being constantly tired, lethargic, achy, moody, sad, anxious, and flat out discontent. Being a victim of never realizing the […]

We Humans are interesting creatures….. So intelligent, yet often to the point where we end up inflicting completely avoidable biological harm…. Point and case, the common societal mantra of “I’ll Sleep when I’m Dead” A philosophy which promotes and reinforces the concept that we need to “Keep Grinding” , “Out-Work the Competition” or find a […]

Let’s start by pondering on some evolutionary theory regarding chronic depression that I stumbled upon a few years back…… It suggests that when the body is in a heighten immune system state, it wants to entice REST……… Down regulating it’s desire and energy to do other things…. Well, how exactly does it do this? And […]

Insults are a part of Life… Both at the Social & Cellular level…. Ya’ See, our cells are constantly undergoing reactions, this is essentially how we survive. These reactions are MANDATORY for Biological Business. That being said, this cellular activity doesn’t come without some potentially problematic overhead. Like the formation of unstable reactive molecules, which […]

Let me throw a monkey-wrench at your probable perception and common dogma around STRESS…with a poem… Stress can be Good, Stress can be Bad Stress Can be Happy, Stress Can be SAD Stress can mean LIFE, Stress can mean DEATH it’s Context-Dependent… Just Like the Rest… I just either made my high school poetry teacher […]

Good thing there’s not an epidemic of chronic inflammation throughout the western world……ohhhhhhhh 😬 Inflammation is our body’s innate response to illness…. in acute circumstance, it’s life-saving! But when chronic, it does the exact opposite, accelerating aging and disease. And Guess What… Chronic Inflammation is closely tied to the Lifestyle YOU Live and Environment you […]
