John DoeGut health is more than just a wellness buzzword. Over the past few years, probiotics (those friendly live bacteria) have gone from obscure supplements to daily essentials for many people. While we now know they support digestion, immunity, and skin health, one question continues to dominate the conversation: Do probiotics help you lose weight? ...
John DoeThis is an excellent book I recently read by Matt Tenney. The title, and the message of the book, are reminiscent of Thich Nhat Hanh’s classic The Miracle of Mindfulness. The magic, or miracle, happens when you spend more of your time paying 100% attention to what you are presently doing. This make you spend less time worrying about the future or reliving painful moments from the past, and more time in the present. This is something I’ve been working on for some time but it is admittedly difficult to do on a regular basis. ...

As more people begin their journey with these medications, one common question remains: “What does a typical week look like while on GLP-1?” ...
John DoeI’ve talked in the past (here and here) about the concept of whether there is a point beyond which exercise becomes too much of a good thing. Since I’m always tempted to push the envelope on this, I decided to ask Google Gemini deep research to investigate it for me: Endurance Exercise Volume, Intensity and Human Longevity. It came up with this report, which is summarized in this podcast derived from the report. It is an interesting update. In the past some studies have seemed to show a “U-shaped curve” of longevity vs exercise volume: Exercise reduces all-cause mortality, with the benefit increasing with more exercise, up to a point. After that, mortality risk increases again. This is not born out in meta-analyses of the majority of studies, however. Instead, all-cause mortality continues to go down no matter how much you exercise. But beyond a certain point, we are at higher risk of developing certain cardiac abnormalities like Afib or scarring of the heart. This seems to be more likely for those doing a lot of high intensity training. ...
