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 […]

It’s very common not to realize that the ongoing, non-stop narrative within in the confines of your 5lb mushy membrane, is in fact, NOT You. And if you immediately think: “Of course it is, who the hell else could it be?” … Let me ask you, if that internal narrative is you, then who’s listening?… […]

When it comes to our health, most things we need for life follow a U-Shaped curve. Meaning, if we have too little or too much, it can be detrimental. However, if we consistently land somewhere in the middle, we’re golden. This happens to be the case with most nutrients we consume and lifestyle habits we […]

You may have never realized it, but that exercise thing the majority of people hate, isn’t just a way to make you look cool naked. In fact, it does quite a bit more… As every time you partake in moving your badonka-donk in an intentional and methodical way, you trigger a biochemical flurry of activity […]

On the ever growing list of things that we intelligent walking apes take for granted, I think it’s safe to say the trillions of warriors who keep our biological cities safe, 24/7 365 days a year, are near the top. And it’s not because the average human doesn’t understand nor comprehend the importance of the […]

There are ALOT of things we know about the human body, and that list, thanks to science, has continued to grow rapidly with each year that passes. However, when it comes to the 5lb mushy membrane which sits within the dark confines of our cranial cabinets, it’s still very much that, a black box. With […]

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 […]
