Feeling relaxation, peace, calm, neutral and loose are not negative feelings so why are we always pushing them away?

If you aren't 100% sure what a sleep routine is....this is for you. Even if you know WHAT it is are you optimising? There is a lot on the line.

Your sleep routine and your energy levels and fatigue are directly linked. The two hours before bed are critical to your sleep quality.

Metabolic health (blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol etc) depends in a big part on your exercise routine. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is simple, easy and very powerful when it comes to metabolic health. Learn how 👇

HIIT training improves metabolic flexibility. This provides more energy, reduced cravings, better fat burning, mental clarity, and lifespan.

Sleep. We know it's important but perhaps not HOW important it actually is. Here are some practical tops on how to create the critically important sleep routine.

This is something everyone has felt. Perhaps not understood but certainly felt. It's pretty important as well if you want to have good metabolic health and a healthy LIFESPAN.

When they start measuring their glucose, most people focus on the rise in glucose after they eat. While this is a great place to start, it’s only the beginning.

Fast-acting carbohydrates raise your glucose quickly. Elevated glucose is not optimal, particularly over the long term. But in the short term, it is the crash after the rise that is the real problem.

When glucose falls quickly, we get hungrier sooner and make poorer food choices. Very low glucose is an emergency signal - our lizard brain takes over!

There’s nothing wrong with carbohydrates. They’re simply a source of fast-acting energy that your body will use before it uses the fat in your diet and the stored fat on your body.

But if your glucose rises by more than 30 mg/dL above your personalised glucose trigger, you likely had more carbs than your body needed — you overfilled your glucose fuel tank.

People who are lean and metabolically healthy will tend to see a smaller rise in glucose after they eat. This is because they have plenty of room in their liver and muscles to store the energy from the carbs they just ate. But people who already have plenty of fat and glucose stored in their bodies don’t have that luxury. So if your glucose rises above the upper limit line, reducing your carbs is often helpful.

Over the first week or so of our Data-Driven Fasting Challenge, participants identify the foods and meals that raise their glucose the most and progressively eliminate them from their repertoire based on the feedback from their glucose after they eat.

People can safely trust their appetite once their glucose oscillates in the normal healthy range — hunger is no longer an emergency.

Heat therapy can help with circulation and cardiovascular health. Unfortunately old school beliefs prevent a lot of people from exploring this therapy. Too many believe that saunas and heat is bad for blood pressure and heart health.....this couldn't be further from the truth for most. Check it out👇

Heat therapy, according to new research, with tools such as a near infrared sauna can help with metabolic syndrome, blood pressure and more.

Metabolic flexibility is the capacity to alter metabolism in response to exercise or available fuel (especially fats and carbohydrates). Trust me...you want this ability.

Did you know that consuming medium chain triglyceride oil can induce a mild state of nutritional ketosis without the need to reduce dietary carbohydrate?Have you ever wondered why?

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) are a type of dietary fat that differ from other fats such as short- or long-chain triglycerides in terms of their structure and metabolism. When consumed, MCTs undergo a unique process in the body, which ultimately leads to the production of ketones.

Due to their length, MCTs are rapidly absorbed in the small intestine and transported directly to the liver via the portal vein. Once in the liver, MCTs are broken down through a process called beta-oxidation. Enzymes in the liver convert MCTs into medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), primarily in the form of octanoic acid (C8) and decanoic acid (C10).

The next step of their metabolism involves the conversion of MCFA into ketones. This process occurs in the liver's mitochondria, where MCFA undergo beta-oxidation, producing acetyl-CoA molecules. Unlike long-chain fatty acids, which require a carnitine shuttle to enter the mitochondria, MCFA can freely cross the mitochondrial membrane.
Once inside, the rapid influx of MCFA-derived acetyl-CoA molecules overwhelm the flow of metabolites able to combine with oxaloacetate and enter the Kreb’s Cycle, causing the excess to be shunted towards the ketogenesis pathways. This results in the production of the ketone bodies beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) and acetoacetate (AcAc) which are shipped from the liver and circulate in the bloodstream, where they are taken up by extrahepatic tissues. Notably, the brain is a particularly avid ketone-user that will rapidly and efficiently take up and metabolize ketones at a rate relative to their concentration in the blood.

Because of these unique properties of MCTs, scientists believe that their supplementation may provide therapeutic benefits of ketosis in a variety health conditions, especially those characterized by impaired glucose metabolism, such as mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease.

Cholesterol and mitochondrial function is not a much discussed topic. It is interesting though and it would appear there are some things we can do about it.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a natural therapy that can lower cholesterol naturally. Mitochondrial cholesterol is a emerging new PBM benefit.
