What if I told you that what you eat today could determine how fast you age tomorrow?

A new study from Neuroscience News found that fast food, processed meats, and sugary drinks accelerate biological aging—even in your 20s. These foods trigger DNA damage, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction, all of which speed up the breakdown of your cells.

On the other hand, diets rich in fruits and vegetables help slow down biological aging by supporting longevity pathways and cellular repair.

In my latest book Young Forever, I break down the four longevity switches that control aging:
- Insulin signaling: Keep blood sugar stable and avoid ultra-processed foods.
- mTOR regulation: Use fasting and protein cycling to activate cellular cleanup.
-AMPK activation: Support metabolism and mitochondrial function with movement.
-Sirtuins & NAD+: Enhance DNA repair and cellular health with lifestyle and nutrients.

Your body is designed to renew itself—you just have to give it the right environment.

Are you one of those people who LOVE spicy foods and chili peppers? Us too. And you know our nutritionists and BioChefs dig deep into origins and health benefits of every ingredient we choose to serve our Biospan clients, so we will share with you the geeky wisdom about chili peppers so you can also be interesting at your next dinner party.

The journey of the chili pepper began millions of years ago, but not as food. Instead, they evolved to actually deter mammals (read: HUMANS) from eating them. It was actually a genetic mutation that made capsaicin, the compound responsible for the fiery sensation you get when consuming chili peppers, which is a natural defense mechanism. The birds win here as they don’t have the receptors to sense the heat, allowing them to eat and spread chili seeds without harm.

Humans, however, turned the tables. Early civilizations like the Aztecs and Mayans cultivated chili peppers for food, medicine, and even spiritual rituals and as we write this, chili peppers are a global phenomenon, influencing cuisines from Thailand to Ethiopia. And now we see them as nutrient rich, healing-capable ingredients that our Biochefs frequently use for our custom nutrition-based private chef service.

Nutritionists on our team geek out on the fact that chili peppers are a powerhouse of nutrients including Vitamin C which we know helps with immunity, and capsaicin which helps with enhanced gut motility, digestion, pain relief, and metabolism.

One note of caution: if you are sensitive to nightshades (like tomatoes and eggplants) or lectins, chili peppers might trigger inflammation or digestive discomfort.

So many cultures use chili peppers in their dishes. Mexicans salsas, mole, and tacos wouldn’t be the same without chili peppers. And in India, curries rely on the heat from the chili pepper to balance complex flavors. When visiting Thailand, those spicy stir-fries and soups are full of delicious chili peppers. And if you’ve ever had kimchi or gochujang, you’ve had fermented chili paste.

Again, we think of food as medicine. And each ingredient is the best drug imaginable.

It’s about time.

The FDA will no longer allow for the use of FD&C Red No. 3.

2 studies showed cancer in male lab rats exposed to high levels of FD&C Red No. 3 because of a rat specific hormonal mechanism.

Relevant exposure levels to FD&C Red No. 3 for humans are typically much lower than those that cause the effects shown in male lab rats.

The way that FD&C Red No. 3 causes cancer in male rats does not occur in humans.

While animal studies are important for scientific understanding, their results do not always apply to humans because of biological differences.

Then, why will the FDA no longer allow for the use of FD&C Red No. 3?

The FDA is taking this action because, under the Delaney Clause of the FD&C Act, the FDA cannot authorize a food additive or color additive if it has been found to cause cancer in humans or animals.

Losing weight is NOT a New Year's resolution. It's not actually even a goal. By definition, goals and resolutions must be centered around actions you can take. Since weight is not a behavior, changing your weight cannot be a resolution. At the end of the day, when weight loss is the result of an unsustainable New Year diet and exercise plan, it will not create lasting change in your health or vitality. Let a walk you through a thorough plan for your food consumption (and have those meals on the ready for you or even made in your home) that ties into your other experts (trainers, medical professionals, coaches, etc.) input for your optimum health.

Biochef clients understand that food intake is not just about weight-loss, it's about optimum performance. One of the most frustrating things we see this time of year is the adoption of fad diets that promote the removal of whoe food groups or categories. Here's the truth: cutting out entire food groups from your diet can lead to significant nutritional deficiencies, impacting your overall health by depriving your body of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, potentially causing fatigue, weakness, digestive issues, and increased risk of chronic diseases. Instead, you need to use your own personal data (from a number of tools) and work with a who is an expert on nutrtiion and YOUR goals, to find an easy pathway to success of your HEALTH. (Weight loss may just be an added benefit.)

The secret to accomplishing nutrition goals isn't about setting hard "no's" and feeling deprived. According to nutritionists, when planning a food related resolutions you should focus on making small, sustainable changes and avoiding fad diets. If you don't have the luxury of a yet, start simple by adding more healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, limiting processed foods, and staying hydrated. Meal planning ahead of time will help with time management (and overeating) and setting realistic goals such as getting 2 more servings of veggies or comitting to 3 sessions in the gym per wek to start can help you keep motivated.
