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 […]

One thing that all of us humans have come to master after years of mandatory duty, literally, is answering natures call. A biological processes that has been, and will be, a lifelong endeavor. One of the reasons for this “Mastery” is the fact that when we execute one of these bowel movements we’re rewarded with […]

One of the unfortunate realities that most people on this beautiful floating rock end-up experiencing is the slow and steady decline of their cognitive function. A condition which at its worst leads to the loss of memories, executive function and even ones sense of self. A fate that most would hesitate to wish on even […]

When you think of the characteristic we humans define as “Resiliency”, or our ability to not stress, bounce back, keep our cool, get knocked down and get back up again…. I’d bet the very last biological system that comes to mind is the trillions of non-self organisms which dwell in the smelly confines of your […]

It’s rather interesting how many similarities there are between our cellular society living within and the actually society we associate and interact with each day. For example, they both are chaotically organized in a beautiful way which keeps their world progressing, they both sleep and rejuvenate at night, and surprisingly they both seem to quite […]

The more I learn about the inner workings of our biology, the more amazed (and thankful) I become that ALL this happens without us humans needing to think twice about it. Because quite frankly, if we did, I think you’d agree, we likely wouldn’t be here. Instead, nature has left us intelligent walking apes with […]

It is no secret anymore that the trillions of micro-organisims living within our intestinal tubing have quite an impact on our biological function. So much so, that without them, we would NOT be able to operate – cellularly – at our true potential. That being said, having trillions of “Non-Self” entities living within while also […]

You need to look no further than our favorite topic of circadian rhythms to realize that “Light” plays a sizable role in coordinating what goes on with our biology and when. As a growing body of evidence has displayed that when special photoreceptors in our eyes pick-up on certain spectrums, like blue light, signals are […]
