“Protein for Longevity” has always been framed in the context of staying strong and able into your golden years. With an adequate amount of amino acids being absolutely necessary to stimulate the all important growth signal “muscle protein synthesis”, and thus the longevity of ones structural self. But… What if that wasn’t the whole story… […]

One of the amazing things about us humans, and animals in general, is our ability to heal. Sometimes right before our eyes, as is the case for physical wounds. But many times, happening where the eye can’t see, within the depths of our pretty cool meat suit, ultimately keeping us thriving for longer! That is… […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

There has LONG been a theory which proposes that the ROOT cause of accelerated wrinkling is driven by little cellular waste products with a radical attitude. Causing chaos and dysfunction at microscopic levels which eventually makes us intelligent walking apes become increasingly tired, sore, achy, weak and Yes, Wrinkly. But just like every “Theory” in […]

Ready for a Biological Tale? There is a magical land deep within all of our cells which transforms the food we eat into the energy which, well…. allows us to eat more food… Oh, and carry out life as we know it, but who’s keeping score. This “Land” is an organelle called the Mitochondria, a […]

Here’s a little-known Longevity Fact….Mitochondrial Dysfunction happens to be one of the TOP longevity liabilities on the market….. Proving to be, not-only one of the underlying mechanisms of Aging…. But chronic inflammation and metabolic disease(s) across the board…. Damaging these cellular power plants affects not-only the -kinda important task- of energy production, but metabolite conversion […]
