The strangest things come up in science. Every week there is a “new pathway” or a new “possibility of a drug that will help in the fight against cancer”. Sometimes it’s new dietary advice or a reiteration of some previous advice. But what do we really know and what can we actually hang our hats …

I hope you caught the initial installment of this yesterday along with the recent blogs on exercise, diet and obesity. Whenever I talk about longevity I always get hit with the “cost factor” It is as if I am personally responsible for the cost of things that maintain telomeres, super high quality fish oil, stem cell therapy and …

I always introduce new concepts and alert people to what to watch out for. One of the small chunks of what I am going to talk about is mitochondrial medicine. If you don’t know what that is have no fear most people don’t either! Probably because it does not really exist yet! But it will …

Have you read my blog titled “As I Lay Dying”? That was not the first blog I have written of its type but it is illustrative. Illustrative of what?! Illustrative of the crappy science that the media pumps out to cause controversy and fear. Sound familiar? Well it seems that this is the basis of …
Over the years I’ve told you to be, act, and think younger than you are. While there is ongoing debate about the power of the mind to influence the body, more and more evidence suggests that you do indeed have some say in how you look and feel and of course, how you experience life …
The Omega 3 industry has expanded in logarithmic fashion since I first introduced my own fish oil back in 2002. I am not sure which number to believe but in spite of the best attempts by Big Pharma and major medical journals to convince you that fish oil does not work and/or you should only …

This brief phrase uttered during the recent NFL regional championships got me thinking. Over my 18-year career as a nutraceutical designer and anti-aging guru I have heard an awful lot of noise.
