Basics of Macronutrients
Macronutrients are the primary components of your diet that give you energy. They consist of proteins, fats and carbohydrates, each of which serves unique functions in your body. While you need each of these macronutrients in relatively large quantities — compared to micronutrients like vitamins and minerals — to function at your best and avoid disease, the exact breakdown for optimal health continues to be debated.

How to Prevent and Treat Bunions
Bunions, medically known as hallux valgus, are bony bumps that form on the joint at the base of your big toe. They occur when some of the bones in the front part of your foot move out of place, causing the tip of your big toe to get pulled toward the smaller toes and forcing the joint at the base of your big toe to stick out.
This joint, known as the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint, then becomes swollen and painful.

Resist Indoctrination by Boosting Mitochondrial Health
Media and global leaders have created a perfect vicious cycle, beginning with fearmongering, goal post switching and bad health advice that create chronic stress and key nutritional deficiencies, which drives chronically elevated levels of stress hormones, which causes chronically inhibited hippocampal neurogenesis, which results in chronically reduced mental resilience, which feeds chronic stress.
The result of this loop is a steady deterioration of autobiographical memory, which facilitates indoctrination.

How Bioenergetic Therapies Can Help Boost Your Health
Kate Deering, author of “How to Heal Your Metabolism,” has been involved in the health and fitness industry for more than three decades. She has a deep understanding of bioenergetics and, in our recent interview, we explore some of the nuances of applying bioenergetic therapies and how they can help you live with increased vigor and vitality.
Deering was eating healthy and exercising — doing everything “right” — and felt great until she entered her 40s. That’s when she hit a wall and, like many people as they get older, felt her energy and health decline.

Choose to Feed Your Soul, Not the 'Enemy'
Reflecting on your thoughts and feelings helps you understand your own behaviors, desires and conflicts more deeply. This self-awareness can improve personal relationships and increase emotional intelligence, ultimately contributing to a more balanced and satisfying life, with ripple effects across society.
Yet, the modern world actively works against the ability to nurture your intuition and feed your soul, instead, as investigative journalist Corey Lynn puts it, feeding the enemy. The enemy in this case isn’t a person or group, but rather destructive forces or influences that you may unknowingly support or contribute to, in the context of social media and elsewhere.

Why I Don't Recommend Consuming Flax
When evaluating something as a ‘health food’ — we have to put our ‘metabolism lenses’ on. Does this improve metabolism and thus long-term health? Or, are there potentially some minute short-term benefits that come with long-term consequences and a down-regulation of metabolism? (Which will negatively impact health.)
There is really good marketing out there trying to convince us that ingredients historically used as paint are now a superfood. (Because it is extremely profitable!) One example is flaxseed and flaxseed oil — you should not be consuming these! And to better understand why, let’s briefly review why it works really well for paint: https://bit.ly/4bL97gS

What's Really the Optimal Way to Use Progesterone?
In the U.S., 1 in 5 prescriptions are written for an off-label use. This means that a physician is prescribing a medication for a purpose that has not been officially approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While the FDA approves drugs for specific uses, physicians can legally prescribe them for other uses that they deem medically appropriate.
This practice is common and often based on emerging evidence, clinical experience or guidelines from professional medical societies. While sometimes this allows medications to be overused or misused, it also protects doctors’ ability to freely treat patients, and patients’ ability to use all available treatments after making an informed decision.

Can Vegetarianism Really Save the Earth and Feed the Hungry?
Recently I participated in the 2018 Long Island Food Conference, the lone meat eater in a lineup of speakers espousing “plant-based” diets. The keynote speaker was Francis Moore Lappé, whom you will recognize as the author of the very influential “Diet for a Small Planet,” the 1971 book that convinced many to embrace a diet of grains and beans.
In the book, Lappé argues that meat production has a negative environmental impact and is a major contributor to global food scarcity. By practicing vegetarianism we can help save the planet and feed the hungry, she claimed. Many answered the call. Several conference participants reported that they became vegetarians after reading her book.

How to Lower Your Risk of Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis (OA), the most common form of arthritis, is a degenerative joint disease that affects 32.5 million U.S. adults. Worldwide, about 595 million people are living with the condition, a 132% increase since 1990.
Osteoarthritis occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of your bones wears down over time. Although osteoarthritis can damage any joint, the knee joint is most frequently affected, followed by the hip and hand. While there's no known cure for osteoarthritis, it typically progresses slowly.

The Potential Benefits and Dangers of Rewiring the Brain
In the video "Rewiring the Brain: The Promise and Peril of Neuroplasticity,” Brian Greene, a professor of physics and mathematics at Columbia University, interviews experts in the field of neuroplasticity about how human brain enhancement can help, and potentially harm, humanity.
The panel includes neuroscientists Takao Hensch and John Krakauer, as well as entrepreneur Brett Wingeier, co-founder and CEO of Magnus Medical. They explore the potential of various tools, including pharmaceuticals, transcranial stimulation and even video games, to harness the brain's ability to rewire itself.
