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. The Omega-6 to Omega-3 Imbalance: A Modern Problem Historically, humans have...

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...

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s tempting to reach for quick energy fixes like energy drinks, coffee, or sugary snacks.

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.
