Q: How would you adress being skinny fat or slightly overweight but not obese?
A: Gut health interventions. Increase akkeromansia (I misspell this one everytime so forgive me lol) by using spores and select fibers like apple peel (also check patreon fiber article). Spores have been shown to dramatically improve visceral and abdominal subQ fat accumulation, and I think there could be a great case made for mega-dosing some of the spores, particularly the ...

PPS is a remarkable compound that has shown numerous documented benefits for tendons and soft tissues, repairing cartilage/slowing loss, enhancing injury healing and substantially improving the resilience of joints and connective tissue. It also has some implications for orthopedic longevity and the treatment of some degeneration conditions.
For athlete, PPS seems to be one of the few compounds that gets close to being reffered to as a ‘silver bullet’ solution for ‘bulletproofin...

The relationship between metabolism, energy availability, and mental health is admittedly complex. However, I think we can boil down some of the complexity down into the following statement — Fuel avalavibility and fuel utalization (which simply refers to the body's capacity to utilize different energy sources effectively) plays a massive role in maintaining cognitive function.

Q: Do you think concern over GMO food is overblown?
A: Not at all. If anything it's not discussed enough.The only people who think GE has no downsides are neo-Darwinist's who plug the central dogma of molecular biology and Mendelian genetics into every equation spanning agriculture to medicinal biotech.
Remember, the ecological whole that the organisms - and its genes - are entangled in determines how genes are subject to feedback regulation. This...

Today we’ll be discussing a few supplements you can take to protect yourself from radiation (as an extension, I also think some of these could work well for nEMF), particularly before routine dental work (exposure to X-rays), as well as frequent flyers. If you’re a pilot, frequent flyer or flight attendant, this will be particularly relevant for you.
First, let’s briefly discuss some of the risks associated with frequent air travel for those unfamiliar.

Bacillus coagulans is a specific strain of bacteria that falls under the broad category of ‘spore formers’. Sporeforming bacteria are particularly resilient due to the endospore coating they use to protect themselves from the stomach acid. This makes them viable options for recolonizing the gut, as they are not destroyed in the stomach. You might be familiar with it, because it’s one of the spores in the Just thrive probiotic.

The external environment plays a crucial role in our health, often overlooked in favor of dietary choices and exercise regimens. While many focus on consuming healthy foods and maintaining an active lifestyle (these are obviously important) , the influence of environmental factors—particularly temperature—on our physiological adaptability is significant and often overlooked. Sun exposure is one environmental factor that’s particularly important for immune health and stabilizing the circ...

Q: Ab genetics post: any truth to 'pure lines' having less disease?
A: First, doesn't exist. Second, even if it could, it's well known that populations which are more (on average) genetically uniform ultimately have more phenotypical variability. Which is just a product of developmental homeostasis being potentially disturbed because you have less overall regulatory mechanisms (due to less variation in the genotype) that buffer the system against pertur...

I'll be bringing on 3-4 recurring guests who I think are doing great work-mainly people I feel I can have engaging conversations with. This will be fun because, instead of an interview-style podcast, it'll be an unstructured hour filled with random rabbit holes and natural conversation flow.
