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...

Good quality sleep is one of the most essential pillars of health and well-being. However, in today’s digital age, exposure to blue light from screens and artificial lighting can significantly disrupt our sleep patterns. If you’re looking for a simple yet effective way to improve your sleep, blue blockers might be the solution you need. The Problem with Blue Light Before Bed Blue light, emitted by screens on devices like phones, tablets, and computers, has been shown to suppress the production of melatonin—the hormone responsible for regulating sleep. Research published in the Journal of Pineal Research highlights that even short exposure to blue light in the evening can delay melatonin production, making it harder to fall asleep and stay asleep. In addition to delaying melatonin, blue light disrupts our circadian...

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? You've probably noticed that people often...

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 for women

Intermittent Fasting for Women

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...

Why I’m thinking of giving up alcohol

Lately I've been thinking a lot about alcohol and its effect on health. I am not a heavy drinker but as most Swedes I usually drink a couple of glasses of wine during the weekends. Sometimes the win bottle has become the company during some weekdays as well. During the last year it's also become a habit to grab a bottle of beer from the fridge on Friday afternoon when all the work is done. Since I live very strict during the weeks with daily exercise and control over what I eat, the beer has become a weekly reward. The "Beer Reward" may have given me a temporary satisfaction. Although, isn't it strange that I work all week to improve and optimize my health and then...
