In today’s fast-paced world, it’s tempting to reach for quick energy fixes like energy drinks, coffee, or sugary snacks. While these can provide a temporary boost, they’re not sustainable solutions and can negatively affect your long-term health and cortisol levels over time. If you want a steady stream of energy, it’s crucial to focus on habits that promote long-term health, balanced cortisol, and stable blood sugar levels. I've learned that the hard way and that's why I've dug deeper into this topic. To build steady energy levels, there are four key areas to focus on: Physical Activity, Nutrition, Lifestyle Practices, and Mental Wellness.

Type 2 diabetes has often been seen as a chronic, lifelong condition, but emerging research and real-life success stories are changing that narrative. Inspired by the powerful documentary "Australia's Health Revolution with Dr Michael Mosley" (You can watch the documentary here), I wanted to explore how lifestyle changes, guided by science, can help manage - and even reverse this condition. Understanding Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or doesn’t produce enough of it, leading to high blood sugar levels. If left unmanaged, it can result in serious complications like heart disease, nerve damage, and kidney issues. However, studies suggest that with the right lifestyle interventions, it’s possible to significantly improve or even reverse Type 2 Diabetes. Lifestyle Interventions Backed by...

In the search for a longer, healthier life, science often reveals fascinating compounds that play a role in aging and longevity. One such discovery is spermidine, a naturally occurring polyamine found in our bodies and certain foods. Research suggests that spermidine could be a key player in slowing down the aging process and promoting cellular health. What Is Spermidine? Spermidine is a compound essential for various cellular functions, including growth and repair. It was first identified in sperm (hence the name), but don’t worry—it’s also present in everyday foods like wheat germ, soybeans, mushrooms, and aged cheese. What makes spermidine so interesting is its ability to stimulate a process called autophagy. Autophagy is the body’s natural mechanism for cleaning out damaged cells and regenerating new ones.

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are everywhere—colorful snacks, packaged cereals, ready-to-eat meals. They’re quick, convenient, and often irresistible. But what are they really doing to your health? What Are Ultra-Processed Foods? Ultra-processed foods are industrially made products packed with additives like preservatives, sweeteners, and artificial flavors. Think of things like frozen pizzas, nuggets, chips, or even energy bars. While they’re engineered to taste great and last longer on shelves, they often lack the nutrients your body needs. Why Are They Harmful? Research has linked ultra-processed foods to a variety of health issues. A major study in The BMJ uncovered shocking connections between high UPF consumption and over 30 negative health outcomes, including: 🚫 Heart disease 🚫 Diabetes 🚫 Cancer 🚫 Obesity 🚫 Mental health issues The reasons are clear: UPFs are often loaded with sugar, salt, and...

Appetite Suppression: Keto vs. Weight Loss Medications

Appetite suppression is the buzzword of the wellness and weight-loss world in recent times, and with the advent of medications such as Wegovy and Ozempic, this promise of reducing hunger and helping weight management is not new. Medications like Wegovy and Ozempic were designed to help reduce hunger and help people manage their weight, but they are far from the first approach to appetite control. A naturally hunger-suppressing, low-carb, high-fat way of eating, the ketogenic diet, controls appetite via its effects on blood sugar and insulin. On the other hand, whereas the keto diet had been lambasted because it suppresses appetite, medications that similarly cause this effect have passed with flying colors. What's the difference in perception, and is one route actually superior to the other?...

Have you ever wondered how health authorities and organizations can provide general dietary advice when we are all unique individuals? I mean, we are all different, so how come this general perception that we all should eat the same? Wouldn't it make more sense to have personalized nutrition plan? This is certainly something for the longevity community to put time and effort in. For people who are interested in biohacking, personalized nutrition is a natural part of life. Personalized nutrition involves eating foods that are tailored for the individual based on DNA testing, health metrics and health assessments. With the information from these tests, we can design personalized diets that promote improved longevity, maximize well-being, and optimize health. What is Personalized Nutrition?

As many of us are aware, lifestyle plays a significant role in life expectancy. It has an even greater impact on how healthy we will be during those extra years. Studies have found that only around 25% of longevity is due to genetic factors. The rest, we have the chance to impact through lifestyle factors such as nutrition, mental and physical wellness, activity, sleeping habits and environment. Most of us know what we should do to stay healthy and live longer. We all (well, most of us) understand the importance of being physically active and eating healthy foods. However, even if we do all that, there may still be things standing in the way for optimal health. In this article, we will reveal the secrets...

Intermittent fasting (IF) is an eating pattern with lots of proven health benefits. It's also a common way for people to lose weight without having to follow a certain diet. When you use intermittent fasting as an eating pattern, you cycle between periods of eating and fasting. It's a pattern where you focus more on when you eat, rather then what you eat. We really like the benefits of intermittent fasting and what it can do for our health. Some even mean that it can promote longevity. Although, intermittent fasting for women is not as easy and problem free as one would hope. Instead, women need to take their sex hormones into consideration when thinking about starting with IF. Before we dig into that, let...
