If you were to question any health expert around the impact of Stress, and Stress alone, on the formation of “net-new” disease. They would be going out on a limb saying anything other than “We’re not totally sure”…. An inconvenient truth, I know. However… If you were to ask them about the impact of chronically […]
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 don’t need to look far to find some information telling you that exercise is good for your 5lb mushy membrane. And it’s even a pretty easy experiment to carry out, as one of the immediate byproducts of doing it, is the release of mood boosting, pain relieving neuro-chemicals call endorphins. But, is it possible […]
Over the years, as more information around the Gut and its inter-workings has come to light, the term “Second Brain” has become a popular word to describe it. And if you’re wondering how the hell the smelliest place on earth could be coined our “Second Brain”, it was mainly due to the surprising discovery that […]
If you haven’t noticed, we humans have many different tissues and organs. Systems which although connected, have many different roles and functions that provide biological value in ways all the others can’t. And as we live our lives, the combination of the lifestyle habits we choose along with innate biological factors, such as genetics, influence […]
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” […]
