    Fatty acid oxidation - linking all illness (especially cancer) with stress and diet (fasting / low-carb)

    The study below is one perhaps the most comprehensive review published to date, challenging the medical dogma that cancer is a genetic/mutation disease. As the study aptly explains, the evidence, spanning as far back as Otto Warburg's original work on this disease, is overwhelmingly in support...

    No evidence for rate-of-living theory of aging

    Just a quick post, since this topic dominates anti-aging research - i.e. despite lack of concrete evidence for it, mainstream research (and finding agencies) continue to claim that longevity is tied to metabolism, but in an inverse relationship. The study below is on turtles - one of the longest...

    Tissue minerals of magnesium-deficient rats with thiamine deficiency and excess

    Abstract To clarify the influence of thiamine deficiency or a dietary excess of thiamine on the mineral balance in magnesium-deficient animals, the following six different synthetic diets were fed to Wistar rats. Group 1: thiamine and magnesium-deficient; group 2: thiamine-deficient...

    BOMBSHELL: Serotonin High in Depression, Not a "Happy" Chemical, Lowers Energy, Depression Self-Resolves

    When I first saw the article pop up in my feed, I could hardly believe my eyes that a mainstream mouthpiece of Big Pharma will publish such frank admission of psychiatry's utter failure - i.e. the claims in regards to serotonin (5-HT), its role in mental illness, and even its social "label". In...

    SHBG may be a good test for liver (metabolic) health

    A very good study, which probably runs counter to the "mantra" most bodybuilders adhere to - i.e. they would say one must keep their SHBG low in order to increase levels of "free" steroids since, the claim goes, only free steroids are active and capable of influencing cells. If SHBG is high, the...

    Hypogonadism in older males due to low OXPHOS

    I suspect many readers will simply say "duh!", but believe or not the origin of age-related hypogonadism in males is still considered unknown. Most endocrinologists have discovered experimentally that treating their patients with SERM or AI drugs restores androgens to youthful levels, but the...

    Stem cells availability, and their differentiation, depend on metabolism

    Once again, the master controller role metabolism plays in human life is revealed in yet another experiment. The study below demonstrated that the degree of cell "stemness", as well as its differentiation into a specific organ/tissue depends entirely on the metabolic rate of the cell, and thus...

    Aging and disease are the same process, driven by low metabolism

    I am posting about this mostly due to its "told you so" factor - i.e. more and more professionals in the medical and research fields are starting to realize that the super-specialized approach to treating chronic diseases has not produced any substantial results. In addition, the correlation...

    Tingly toes after exercise, but not with carbs

    Something I've noticed. After doing yardwork, my toes get tingly. This is the case when I haven't eaten carbs. However, I don't feel exhausted. I also am able to do only a tiny amount of work. If I've eaten carbs and then do the work, I don't get the tingles. Instead I'll get exhausted...

    "Reductive" stress harms cells, mitochondria protect by increasing metabolism

    What is a desired body temperature when you go to sleep?

    We talk a lot about what the basal temperature should be (97.9F), but how about the temperature when you go to sleep (bedtime)? I get good temps when I wake up and throughout the day, but I haven't been able to confirm if my body temperature when I go to sleep is good. Thank you!

After doing the bench press, your body will adapt in various ways, in order to make your chest stronger, making you more efficient...

    Ability to wake up early in the morning as a sign of high metabolism

    I was discussing with a female coworker various topics and she mentioned how she woke up at 6am that day and was very productive. We are both late 20s / early 30s age bracket. In contrast, I find it very hard to wake up at 6am, I barely can get myself to wake up at 8/9, as I work from home. And...
