You’re Not Tougher Than Sleep – And Changes to Your DNA Methylation Prove it
When you think about it, spending roughly 7 of every 24 hours in a state of pure unconsciousness is kinda silly. Not just from a time-management standpoint, but from an evolutionary survival one. Rewind a few thousand years, before comfy homes and locked doors, we (well, the tribe) slept out in the elements for thousands […]
Scientists Broke Mitochondria — This ONE THING Reversed It
If there’s one thing in your cells you DO NOT want to break, it’s the piece that bottlenecks every single function the cell performs. Which is exactly why scientists broke it. In mice, that is. They sabotaged the mitochondria — the critical energy and signaling hub — in a batch of unlucky rodents, and the […]
The REAL Reason Coffee Makes You Healthier (It’s NOT Caffeine)
At this point, just hearing, smelling, or looking at a cup of coffee can make you feel more alert — without taking a single sip. That’s how welded this beautifully brown liquid is to the most famous stimulant on the planet. The mythical compound that blocks our sleep pressure receptors and makes us feel cognitively […]
New Pesticide Study Just Named a NEW Cancer Suspect | 5 Things To Do Now
It’s estimated that over 90% of US and global farmlands are sprayed with synthetic pesticides. And it’s not just one — conventional farmers routinely apply multiple pesticides to a single crop over a growing season. A practice that new data is exposing to have major unintended health implications. Because while most of these chemicals aren’t […]
Muscle Power May Predict How Long You’ll Live (Better Than Strength)
Listen, I hate to be the bearer of bad gym-bro news, so I’ll let science deliver the message: strength — or the sacred neurological ability to recruit muscle fiber and apply force upon the external world — may not be the longevity panacea we once thought. Not to say it’s worthless, because there’s plenty of […]
Sauna After Exercise | A BIG Longevity Boost with Minimal Effort
If you’re like me, there’s a good chance you (used to) save your sauna session for a rest day, or simply when you have some free time. Which isn’t a bad strategy, because there’s been quite a bit of data suggesting that just being consistent with spending time in this hot box, can lead to […]
Your Neurons Have a Garbage Problem — And It’s Aging Your Brain Faster…
When it comes to your most sacred and guarded cells (neurons), the base case should always be that they operate alittle bit differently than all the other cells in your body. Not only because their shape is significantly (and oddly) different, or that their energy dynamics are much more demanding, or even that unlike almost […]
The Easiest Way to NOT GET CANCER | You May Be Skipping It
It’s not often you look back at something your mom told you growing up and think “Boy, that was completely wrong”. And that day ISN’T going to be today, because science is once again validating mom’s wisdom. As one of the very things your mom used to nag you about each and every day, may […]
The Secret Crosstalk Between Your Mitochondria & Gut Bacteria | THIS Changes Everything
Yes, your mitochondria may be the most important part of your cell, dictating your daily mood, feel, cognition and physical function through its modulation of energy dynamics. But that doesn’t mean it’s actually calling the shots… In fact, new research has brought their interesting origins back into the limelight, highlighting how their ancient bacterial roots […]
This Organ Shrinks Every Year — And It’s Influencing How Long You Live
I think it’s safe to say most of us overlook (and under-appreciate) the fact that we have a fully staffed immune army protecting us 24x7x365…. That is, until we get sick. However, after our sniffles are gone, right on cue, we’re right back to forgetting. Specifically the fact that this highly trained group of cellular […]
5-Minutes a Day Could Add ONE Extra Year To Your Life (And 30-Minutes Can…)
If you’re one of those people who keeps “putting it off” because you think 5-minutes here or 5-minutes there won’t really do anything… Boy, do I have some news for you… News, that may convince you to re-assess this “5-minute” thesis and potentially even make you an official member of the “quick-hitting health” club. Because […]
The Brain Secrets of SUPER AGERS | Stem Cells, Neurogenesis, And How to BECOME ONE
For most, the “Golden Years” aren’t so golden. Because by the time typical 60+ year old can finally relax, prioritize family, and do exactly what they please, they’re often accompanied by aches, pains, forgetfulness, disease and health limitations. And I know what you’re thinking… “This is just what happens when we get old”… Yes, it’s […]
