“To Protein or NOT to Protein”….. That is the question…. Or at least it was until a new debate arose around “How Much” To Protein. Not only per day, but also per meal! Because as it turns out, a growing body of literature on the topic is suggesting a few different approaches as optimal. Gotta […]

There is something truly special about the brain in childhood. It’s the time period of rapid plasticity and pruning of neurons. The developmental period where brain structure is formed and connectivity between these different regions are solidified and customized…  Ultimately paving the way for the composition of our adult minds. Which would make anything that […]

Wouldn’t it be nice to have the everything we humans ever learned about optimizing sleep compiled and presented in a way which doesn’t make our head spin…. And ironically keep us up at night? Well, I can’t say that this perfect source of accurate information currently exists. However, we’re getting alot closer, and doing it […]

Across ALL of the diseases and conditions that we modern humans face, ALOT of biological facts are different. Yet one thing seems to remain the same…. The Low Dose, Chronic Arousal, of the Immune System. And I hate to say it but this “Arousal” typically isn’t a good thing. It’s a happening which not only […]

For a long time, the health benefits of eating plants were focused around three main attributes. Their generous composition of H20 (water), their vitamins and their minerals. This combination, along with the taken for granted carbohydrates, were the basis for their perceived benefits on us humans. That was, until the nutritional scientific revolution REALLY started […]

If I were to tell you that we humans spend 30% of our lives taking medications would you be surprised? I for one know It’d certainly get me pondering. That’s why I REALLY had to sit down and process the fact that the average person is actually much MORE reliant on these magic pills! To […]

We’ve all had that roommate who would live their life putting dirty dishes in the sink with the intention of cleaning them later (if you haven’t, you may want to do some self-reflection). But as we all know “Later” quickly turns into a smelly confrontation that could only be done justice on a reality show […]

It is well documented that our Microbiome, or the trillions of micro-organisms which live within us, is NOT what it used to be. As the health and diversity of these creepy crawlers has diminished quite a bit since our hunter gatherer origins. And that may not seem like a BIG Deal… Until, you realize that […]

Being Kind is often portrayed as a chore in this modern world. Something that we need to go out of our way to do, with little immediate “RON”( Return-on-Niceness) to show for it… So how exactly do we get people to willingly do more if it? Simple! By teaching them the TRUE incentives! As this […]

There is no bigger commonality across ALL the top diseases we intelligent walking apes face than the low-dose chronic arousal of the immune system… aka Chronic Inflammation. Being such a BIG factor in cellular dysfunction and disease that we’ve been calling it “Longevity Liability Numero Uno” for years now. Regularly discussing strategies which control & […]

It seems the more modern science looks into it, the more evidence there is explaining why after 50+ million years of primate evolution, sleep hasn’t gone anywhere. That is a BIG feat for a daily activity that sends an organism into a state of unconsciousness, leaving them totally vulnerable to predators and threats. Because for […]

“Eat Less & Move More”…. the age-old advice from primary care physicians everywhere. And although most people probably would improve their present-day health by attempting to follow this incredibly vague advice. You have to wonder, is it REALLY the optimal strategy for Health over time? Aka Longevity? Potentially, but it’s hard to argue for… As […]

We ALL know that in this world, Timing is Everything! But what I bet you didn’t realize, is that THIS was the case long before that saying meme’d its way into existence. In Fact, this “Timing is Everything” relevance dates back to life as we know it. With early organisms developing and evolving in a […]

I recently learned that bitter-sweet feeling can in-fact, come from what you eat… Because that was exactly how I felt as I wrapped-up my multi-year eating experiment. One which entailed incorporating some strategic, high quality animal-based foods into my dietary strategy after 6-years of a plant based lifestyle. And the results only solidified my own […]

In prior posts we’ve talked about how MORE muscle was generally linked to MORE Longevity. Being a critical tissue which not only keeps us structurally functional but one which is responsible for a lot of the KEY biochemical activity that keeps us young and efficient on the inside! However, during this muscle love-fest, we assumed […]
