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...

Bone broth has been a staple in ancestral kitchens across cultures for centuries — and for good reason. People made nourishing broths with healing compounds by simmering bones, herbs, and vegetables for hours before protein powders and multivitamins flooded our shelves. Bone broth is currently experiencing a well-earned renaissance, not only in kitchens but also in functional medicine, wellness regimens, and biohacking communities. Rich in collagen, minerals, and amino acids, it promotes immunity, skin resilience, joint strength, gut health, and even better sleep. As someone who’s deeply invested in longevity and nourishment from the inside out, I make my own bone broth regularly. It’s simple, grounding, and one of the easiest ways to give your body deep, foundational support. What is Bone Broth? Bone broth is a nutrient-rich liquid...

Why do some people thrive on keto while others crash without carbs? The answer may lie in something most people have never heard of: metabolic flexibility. For a long time, I thought the key to health was simply eating the “right foods.” But over the years, I’ve learned that it’s not just about what you eat—it’s about how your body processes it. That’s where metabolic flexibility comes in. What Is Metabolic Flexibility? In simple terms, metabolic flexibility is your body’s ability to efficiently switch between burning carbohydrates and fat for fuel, depending on what’s available. And of course, your metabolic type also plays a role here. If you haven’t read our deep dive on the three types and how they influence your diet, you can check out our...

Even though I consider myself healthy, I believe in taking a proactive approach to my well-being. That includes doing regular health tests to check my current status and see if my lifestyle or nutrition needs adjusting to better support my body. These tests are part of my long-term health optimization and longevity plan. They help me understand how my body works, so I can give it what it needs to thrive, not just survive. Because it’s better to be foresightful than reactive. I’d rather know how I’m doing now than wait until something’s off and be told I should’ve acted sooner. Here’s a look at the health tests I do regularly and what they’ve revealed. These are by no means something you have to do to stay...

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....

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...

Brown fat, often called “good fat” has been getting a lot of attention in the world of biohacking and longevity. Most of us are familiar with white fat which is the type of fat that we associate with weight gain. This type of fat hasn't received the same attention, at least not in a good way. But brown fat works a little differently. It actually helps burn calories and regulate body temperature. This makes brown fat a key player in metabolism and energy balance. Here’s the exciting part: you can activate brown fat through simple lifestyle changes. By doing so, you can supercharge your metabolism and improve your overall health. This is where biohacking comes in! What Exactly Is Brown Fat? Simply put, brown fat is a type...

Metabolism is often blamed for weight gain, low energy, and changes in body composition as we get older. But is our metabolism really declining with age? And is there something we can do about it? If you're interested in longevity, muscle maintenance, and biohacking, then you need to know how your metabolism works. So, let’s find out what happens to the metabolism with age and what science has to say about improving it for a longer and healthier life. Does Metabolism Really Slow Down with Age? For years, we have been told that metabolism naturally slows as we get older, making weight gain inevitable. However, a groundbreaking study published in Science puts that belief to a test. The key findings of this study: - Between ages 20 and 60,...
