Imagine driving your car and suddenly all the gauges on your dashboard go blank. You could get by for a little while, yes. You might remember how much gas your car had and could keep track of the miles you’ve driven since to get an idea when your tank is close to empty. You likely… Read More »
There are aspects of how physics and biology work that seem counterintuitive on the surface or perhaps just irrelevant and immaterial. When you connect enough dots and understand the linkages and the big picture, however, things suddenly become intuitive. It’s almost as if you’ve been looking at a painting upside down and all of a… Read More »
As I begin, I should mentioned that I just noticed the significance of this “learning to fish” idea being used on a post dated December 24th, Christmas Eve. It wasn’t an intentional Christian reference, for good or bad, but it is a neat coincidence. Nevertheless, whatever one’s viewpoint on religion, I think we can all… Read More »
Your mom was right; you are special…when it comes to your health, anyway (I’m sure you’re a great singer too). You are different. You react to things differently. There is a lot of good science out there that can do a lot to get you back on track or keep pushing the envelope in optimizing… Read More »
It has taken me a long time to wrap my head around the subject of earthing and determine how best to write on the subject in an informational way. Over the series of times I have put keys to keyboard, there have been several hurdles I’ve had to get over in order to finish this… Read More »
The whole premise of biohacking is to learn lessons tied to your own biology to improve your environment and wellbeing. Sometimes those lessons are learned painfully; this is one of those times. Before you get scared and stop CT or stop considering it, you should know I still continue to do it now, successfully, and… Read More »
It took me a while to figure out how biologically stressful my job was. As I’ve said before, working for an investment company with a roof over my head to keep me out of the elements and away from “back-breaking” labor seemed to be a much better option than building, digging, and carrying things. And… Read More »
Once I was old enough to develop critical thought, I had always been interested in health and human performance. I love to analyze and practice. I didn’t get a lot out of early practice, such as elementary school basketball camps that propelled me towards averaging 0.2 points per game in a typical five minutes of… Read More »
I am finding this new concept – or at least new to me for sure – of evolutionary medicine quite fascinating. The philosophy basically uses our understanding of how humans evolved to figure out why they may get sick and fixing the underlying causes of disease – creating health – rather than figuring out how… Read More »
Bert Betterman may not have all the devices of modern convenience, but he doesn’t have any of the downside risks either. Check that…his world found a way to make them risk-free, the best of both worlds…hot ice (Rookie of the Year reference, anyone? Come on, Gardenhoser!). That would certainly be nice. Our world, though, has… Read More »
