Unfortunately, the notion that more muscle makes you more happy, does not hold water across the broader population. However, that’s not to say it doesn’t do something equally and even more important when it comes to your mental health. Because it certainly does! As association after association has not only connected higher skeletal muscle mass […]
When someone refers to the “Trillions of Microorganisms” influencing the health and function of our body, the natural instinct is to focus on the Gut. The place 99% of the funding and discussion has been. However, these microbes don’t limit their options when it comes to real estate on our body. In fact, they have […]
At this point, our Microbiome is just showing off… Because it seems like it has become a weekly thing, that we learn a new way the trillions of micro-organisms living in our intestinal lining (and within our mouth and skin) modulate our biological function in a health (and thus Longevity) promoting way! The most ironic […]
The “Standardized” Daily habits in this modern day are funny, not so much in the “haha” sense, but more so in the ironic nature of their inverse relationship with our health. Let me explain… When you decide to follow the modern norms of, lets say, snacking on processed treats throughout the day, staying up late […]
I bet it never crossed your mind as you muttered “this coffee just saved my life” following a rough night, that…. It may actually be doing JUST THAT! Of course not in the literal “here and now” sense, BUT there happens to be quite the compelling pile of evidence being formed suggesting that people who […]
When it comes to modulating our cellular and metabolic self in a health promoting way, it’s pretty rare to come across a compound that can be consistently connected with having a positive impact on a single system. So, when you come across one which seems to do so for several systems, you pay attention. And […]
Well, looks like science has once again proved an old adage right. When it comes to muscle health, function and longevity, you can not “out exercise” a bad diet. And when I say bad diet, i’m referring to the one which the majority of us intelligent walking apes consume on a regular basis, the ultra-processed, […]
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” […]
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. […]
