It’s kind of ironic that of ALL the conditions impacting the health and vitality of todays average intelligent walking ape, it’s the “harmless” natural compounds that seem to induce some of the greatest discomfort. Compounds which, for some reason, tickle one persons immune system in such a way that makes it wage inflammatory war, while […]

By now most of you longevity enthusiasts are privy to the natural deterioration of muscle mass as we age (Sarcopenia) and know how serious of a problem it tends to become for the average intelligent walking ape as they enter their golden years or life. Because, it’s pretty damn hard to stay “able and capable” […]

I don’t know about you, but when 300 million pounds of a particular compound is actively applied to my food supply each year, I kinda feel like we should be pretty on top of the impacts it may be having in the body. However, just like so many other large-scale societal situations, we once again […]

In recent decades carbon dioxide (C02) has increasingly become a “no-no” word. Being singled-out as the “gas” which is going to lead this planet to… well, extinction. So, it’s totally understandable where all this “lets get rid of C02” rhetoric comes from. However, there are plenty of good reasons why we definitely DON’T want to […]

You need go no further than “sweating alittle” yourself, to realize that exercise has some pretty powerful “feel good” effects. And that is often attributed to the immense biochemical shift that takes place every time you move your badonka-donk in an intentional and methodical way. This includes the release of metabolic boosting myokines, inflammation reducing […]

Imagine there is a 27/4 factory constantly churning out energy to power a local town, but with it comes the natural, yet unfortunate byproduct of pollution. Over time this factory becomes less efficient with the ratio of energy-to-pollution becoming less and less practical…. Wouldn’t it be nice to just decommission this plant, and use its […]

We’ve come to learn that the trillions of bacteria living within, can actually do alot for us. Things such as, extract nutrients from food, synthesize new ones, modulate immune activity, influence cellular function and… Stress us Out! Listen, I never said all those things are necessarily beneficial. In fact, what research has shown is their […]

When it comes to the health and longevity of our pretty cool meat suit, one of the most under appreciated dynamics at play is momentum. And no, not the literal sense of the word in its physics term. We’re talking about momentum in its figurative sense, in particular when it comes to our cellular function. […]

I often refer to Life as a game of “balance and re-balance”. This of-course is a figurative notion implying that there will be dramatic ups, along with dramatic downs, and the key to keeping a healthy “steady state” is having strong habits & principles which bring you back to a “happy medium” relatively quickly. That […]

It may be surprising to hear that the second most common type of cancer in men is one that develops on a tiny walnut shaped organ right below the bladder. This little organ is the prostate, and for some “still being investigated” reason it begins this assent to the top of most mens health problems […]

When we explore the very nuanced topic of “Eating for Longevity”, the science and narrative often focus on “restriction and lifespan”. Two components of, but as we’ve learned, definitely NOT the sole variables, when it comes to extending our healthy years. Much of these conclusions track back to animal models – all we currently have […]

It probably isn’t a surprise to hear that most City, State and Federal Governments have drinking water standards which must be met, in order to serve the public. With many sharing an overlapping list of contaminants that need to be filtered out/down if a company wants to be in the business of providing a “Drinking” […]

Whenever you embark on a quest for improvement, a key first step is to always identify those “critical path” items which the improvement can-not take place without. For example, if you want to wake-up feeling refreshed and restored, you better have a good bed time routine. And interestingly, this methodology also translates quite nicely to […]

I think we’d all agree that there’s almost always a tier of “Good, Better, Best” when it comes to the daily habits which comprise our lives. And even though we have a good idea of where each habit may land, I think most would ALSO agree that they spend WAY too much time in the […]

It’s no longer a surprise that our trillions of microbes living within, likely are NOT the biggest fans of antibiotics. Simply because antibiotics, are crafted compounds with the sole mission to destroy bacteria. Makes sense, and this would be no problem if all bacteria were pathogenic, or illness inducing. But as we now know, nearly […]
