NMN Is Back: Why This Longevity Molecule Matters More Than Ever

What Is NMN? NMN (Nicotinamide Mononucleotide) is a molecule naturally found in the body and in small amounts in foods like broccoli, edamame, and avocado. It’s a direct precursor to NAD+, a coenzyme that powers cellular energy, DNA repair, and overall health. As we age, NAD+ levels decline, which is linked to fatigue, slower recovery, metabolic issues, and age-related diseases. Supplementing with NMN helps restore NAD+ and support healthy aging at the cellular level. Benefits of NMN Supplementation Research on NMN is still emerging, but early studies and anecdotal evidence point to several potential benefits: - Increased energy & metabolism - Improved insulin sensitivity & blood sugar control - Enhanced DNA repair & cellular health - Better recovery & endurance for exercise - Potential brain-protective effects - Support for cardiovascular and vascular health For biohackers and...

Vitamin D: The Sunshine Hormone Your Body Can’t Live Without

Why Vitamin D Matters More in Winter As the days grow shorter and darker, many of us get less exposure to the sun — the body’s primary source of Vitamin D. In Sweden, where I live, studies on the population have shown that around half of people have insufficient Vitamin D levels during the winter months. That’s one of the reasons I always supplement with Vitamin D when the sunlight is scarce. I even tested my levels last year, and they were optimal (as you can see in the image to the left). This thanks to supplementation and spending as much time as I can outdoors. Vitamin D Isn’t Just a Vitamin — It’s a Hormone Despite the name, Vitamin D isn’t actually a vitamin. Instead, it’s a fat-soluble...

Beyond the Gym: Why Daily Movement Is Key We often think of health in terms of workouts: an hour at the gym, a run in the park, or a yoga class. But what if the real secret to longevity lies in what you do outside of those structured sessions? This is where NEAT comes in — Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis. In simple terms, NEAT is all the energy you burn during daily activities that aren’t formal exercise: walking, cooking, gardening, even fidgeting. And according to research, it may be just as — if not more — important than your workout. Why Sitting Is the New Smoking A sedentary lifestyle is one of the greatest threats to long-term health. Studies show that prolonged sitting is linked to higher risks of heart...

Microplastics

The Hidden Health Risk Lurking in Your Kitchen: Microplastics from Cutting Boards

Most of us are careful about what we eat, but rarely think about what our food is being cut on. Recent research published in Environmental Science & Technology (2023) revealed a shocking fact: we may ingest up to 50 grams of microplastics every year from plastic cutting boards alone. That’s the equivalent of eating a full credit card’s worth of plastic every single week. Just the thought of that makes me feel really bad. What Are Microplastics Microplastics are tiny plastic particles less than 5 mm in size, and they’re now being detected everywhere in the human body. Scientists have found them in the bloodstream, in organs, testicular tissue, breast milk, placenta, and even the brain. Early research links microplastic exposure to: - Hormone disruption (endocrine interference) - Reduced fertility...

9 Essential Exercises Every Woman Over 40 Should Be Doing

Why Your Fitness Needs Change After 40 What worked in your 20s and 30s doesn’t always work anymore. Back then, endless cardio might have kept you lean and energized. But after 35, your body begins to change, and without a shift in your approach, it gets harder to feel strong and balanced. From perimenopause and through menopause, hormonal fluctuations accelerate muscle loss (sarcopenia) and slow down metabolism. Relying on cardio alone can backfire: it often spikes cortisol, increases hunger, and delays recovery. To stay strong, protect your bones and joints, and keep your metabolism healthy after 40, it’s crucial to focus on strength training combined with daily walking. Building muscle becomes your greatest ally — not just for how you look, but for how you age. The Benefits of...

For centuries, sauna bathing has been more than just a way to warm up — it’s been a ritual of relaxation, cleansing, and community. In Finland, where the sauna tradition runs deep, nearly every household has access to one, and sauna is considered as essential as food or water. Today, modern science is catching up with tradition. Researchers are discovering what Finns have known intuitively for generations: regular sauna use can be a powerful tool for health, recovery, and longevity. What the Science Says about Sauna Over the past decade, several large studies (many of them conducted in Finland) — have confirmed the health benefits of sauna. One of the most well-known studies followed over 2,000 middle-aged men for more than 20 years and found that frequent sauna...

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate and energize the body at the cellular level. These gentle pulses are designed to mimic the natural frequencies of the Earth, helping to restore balance, support healing, and improve recovery. Originally developed and researched in Europe, PEMF therapy has been used for decades to treat bone fractures, circulation issues, and chronic pain. Today, it’s becoming a popular biohacking tool for anyone interested in performance, recovery, and longevity. Why Biohackers are Turning to PEMF As biohackers, we’re always searching for ways to optimize recovery, energy, and overall well-being. PEMF mats fit perfectly into this philosophy. By stimulating cellular function and improving circulation, PEMF therapy may: Boost recovery: Helps reduce muscle soreness after training and supports faster...

Sirt6

Sirt6 Activator could be the key to slow down ageing

If you follow longevity research, you’ve probably heard the buzz around Sirt6. Sirt6 is a cellular “guardian” linked to DNA repair, metabolism, inflammation, and overall healthspan. The big question: can we safely activate SIRT6 in humans and move the needle on biological ageing? A new mouse study suggests the answer might be “yes,” and a randomized human trial is now underway to find out. What is SIRT6 and why do longevity scientists care? SIRT6 is a NAD+-dependent enzyme that helps maintain genome stability (think DNA repair, telomere integrity, and silencing of rogue DNA elements), while also influencing glucose/lipid metabolism and inflammatory pathways. In multiple models, dialing SIRT6 up is associated with healthier ageing. In fact, genetic overexpression of SIRT6 has been shown to extend lifespan and reduce frailty...

We all know that drinking too much alcohol isn’t exactly a recipe for longevity. Regular consumption has been linked to an increased risk of liver disease, certain cancers, high blood pressure, and even cognitive decline. And while many people enjoy a glass of wine or a cocktail to relax, it’s important to remember that alcohol is a toxin — and your body works hard to process and eliminate it. Also, it doesn’t matter how much you drink. Large-scale data from the Global Burden of Disease study in The Lancet found that the level of alcohol use that minimizes overall health risk is none. But here’s the good news: being sober doesn’t have to mean being boring. In fact, there’s a growing trend toward mindful drinking, where...
