Metabolic Types: Why One Diet Doesn’t Fit All

If you’ve ever wondered why one person thrives on high-carb meals while another feels better with a steak and avocado, you're not imagining it. Our bodies process macronutrients differently, and the concept of metabolic typing helps explain why. This topic became especially personal for me when I realized how bloated, foggy, and craving-driven I felt after eating carbohydrates. Even though I was eating "healthy," my energy would crash, and I started craving more food. A blood test later confirmed what I already suspected: my body has a harder time metabolizing carbs efficiently. On the flip side, when I focus on protein-rich meals like meat and eggs, combined with healthy fats, I feel grounded, satisfied, and full of energy. Interestingly, those closest to me feel the exact opposite....

We’ve all been told to “drink more water” and yes, staying hydrated is essential. But if you’ve ever done everything “right” and still felt tired, foggy or dealt with cramps after a workout, there’s a good chance you were missing a key piece of the hydration puzzle: electrolytes. To be honest, I wasn't aware of this part until just a couple of years ago. It wasn’t until I started experimenting with intermittent fasting and training more consistently that I realized how much hydration goes beyond just water. Most people think hydration is just about getting enough fluids. But true hydration also depends on having the right balance of minerals - especially sodium, potassium, and magnesium - to help your body absorb and use the water you...

For years, I thought my DNA held all the cards when it came to how I’d age. But the more I've learned about epigenetics, it has become my tool to empower myself because it shows that lifestyle choices play a more important role than most people realize. Sure, our genes determine the blueprint but they do not determine how that blueprint will be expressed. That’s where epigenetics comes in and that’s where we have influence. What is Epigenetics? Epigenetics refers to changes in gene expression that do not modify DNA sequence. Instead, it’s like flipping switches on or off, telling your body which genes to activate, and which to quiet down. These switches can be influenced by lifestyle factors. So everything from nutrition and sleep to exercise, stress,...

Carbs have always been a bit tricky for me. Through testing, I discovered that my body doesn’t digest carbohydrates very well. I experienced bloating, cravings and energy crashes every time I ate starchy food. That’s one reason I thrived on a ketogenic diet for several years. No blood sugar swings, no hunger pangs, just balanced energy. But when I started to reintroduce carbs into my diet, I knew I had to be smart about it. That’s when I discovered resistant starch and the simple, powerful trick of freezing starchy foods before eating them. What Is Resistant Starch? Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine. Instead of being broken down into sugar like regular starch, it passes into the colon where it...

For a long time, I thought feeling tired after meals, struggling with sugar cravings, and dealing with bloating was just my normal. That was before I discovered the ketogenic diet and the incredible role ketones can play in how we fuel our bodies. I followed a ketogenic diet for several years and it worked really well for me. I didn’t feel hungry between meals, I didn’t get the usual blood sugar swings, and my energy levels felt very stable. It wasn’t until I started exercising more intensively that I felt the need to bring back some carbohydrates to support my workouts better. Like everything in health, there’s no one-size-fits-all but understanding ketones has been a game-changer for me. What Are Ketones? Ketones are small molecules produced by the...

Most people know that fats are essential for overall health, but did you know that the balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids plays an essential role in inflammation, heart health and even brain function? A study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that higher levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are associated with a reduced risk of 14 different cancers, including colon, stomach, and lung cancers. It's time that we become aware of this and start to balancing our Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Unfortunately, modern diets filled with ultra-processed foods have dramatically shifted the good ratio between these fatty acids and this is affecting our well-being in a negative way.

When it comes to aging well, people usually pay much attention to the internal factors that are within our control: diet, how much exercise we get and how much sleep we have. But they rarely consider that skin longevity is also crucial for overall longevity. The skin is the largest organ of the body and serves as the first line of defense against the environment. A good skin longevity protocol can help to maintain elasticity, hydration and resilience of the skin for years. I’ve spent years refining my own skin protocol for longevity, combining science-backed skincare, lifestyle habits, and targeted treatments to support healthy, youthful skin. Below, I’ll walk you through my routine and explain why these strategies work. My Skin Longevity Routine Morning & Evening: Mythos Women’s...

In the world of biohacking and longevity, it’s easy to get caught up in the latest supplement trends. Everyone is looking for the “magic pill” to extend their healthspan. But let’s be real, no supplement will fix a poor lifestyle. Think of it this way: Your body is like a car where nutrition works as the engine. You need high-quality fuel like whole foods, proteins and healthy fats to function optimally. Exercise is the maintenance of the car. Strength training, cardio, daily movement and mobility work keep your body running smoothly. Sleep and stress management works as the brakes. Recovery and stress reduction are critical for long-term health. And finally, supplements are the premium fuel additive. They optimize and enhance, but they don’t replace the...
