Why Grit and Grinding Won't Get You Lean | Ben Brown
Why Grit and Grinding Won't Get You Lean | Ben Brown Aug 21, 2026 879 Self-discipline matters more than IQ for your success. According to research from the University of Pennsylvania, it was more than twice as effective at predicting students' final grades. That same discipline can carry you through school and into a successful career. But health and fitness play by different rules, and sheer willpower often isn’t enough. Ben Brown, head nutrition coach at BSL Nut
Millions Are Predisposed to Alzheimer's and Have No Idea | Dr. Ken Sharlin
Millions Are Predisposed to Alzheimer's and Have No Idea | Dr. Ken Sharlin Aug 18, 2026 4061 Roughly 7.4 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer's disease, and by the time symptoms show up, the disease has often been building for 10 to 20 years.  Add in the roughly one in three Americans carrying the genetic marker tied to higher risk, and the scale of what's coming becomes hard to ignore. Despite the stats, Dr. Ken Sharlin doesn't order a test unless it's going to change w
Why Aging Accelerates Instead of Moving in a Straight Line | Dr. Jeffrey Gladden
Why Aging Accelerates Instead of Moving in a Straight Line | Dr. Jeffrey Gladden Aug 14, 2026 3615 As you get older, you start to notice that aging doesn't move at a steady pace. It picks up speed. And the tools most people reach for to fight it - peptides, hormones, the usual stack - are built to fix a problem that moves in a straight line. A top interventional cardiologist for decades, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden watched his health collapse in his 50s. When a doctor chalked it up to age and offered
50% of Sudden Cardiac Deaths Happen With No Warning | Dr. Kevin White
50% of Sudden Cardiac Deaths Happen With No Warning | Dr. Kevin White Aug 11, 2026 3698 In America, sudden cardiac death kills roughly 300,000 to 400,000 people every year. And in nearly half of those cases, there was no diagnosed heart disease beforehand. Meaning, the person looked fine right up until they weren't. Dr. Kevin White spent over two decades in the emergency room watching that pattern repeat itself, treating people his age for problems that had been building for years wi
What Happens Inside Your Body After a Stem Cell Injection | Dr. Jeff Gross
What Happens Inside Your Body After a Stem Cell Injection | Dr. Jeff Gross Aug 7, 2026 3862 In the early 80s, a 14-year-old picked up a magazine and read an article that said if you want a Lamborghini, you should become a neurosurgeon. And if you want more than that, become an entrepreneur. Jeff Gross wanted more than one. After becoming a board-certified neurosurgeon, he spent decades in the operating room before deciding surgery wasn't always the answer he wanted to give his patients.
The Heart Disease Risk Your Cholesterol Test Misses | Christopher Davis, MD
The Heart Disease Risk Your Cholesterol Test Misses | Christopher Davis, MD Aug 4, 2026 4121 For decades, if your cholesterol number came back anywhere below 200, your doctor would tell you it's clear. That's supposed to mean you don't have to worry about a heart attack. As Dr. Christopher Davis explains, not quite. A low number doesn't rule out a blockage. Even if you feel fine, your arteries might not be clean, and that alone could put you on a path toward a heart attack you never saw

Why Some World Cup Athletes Are Using GLP-1s | Ashley Koff, RD Jul 31, 2026 4117 If you have talked about weight in the last few years, you’ve had to mention Ozempic, Mounjaro, or any other GLP-1. And of course, you had to agree that GLP-1s are the worst thing to happen to weight loss since someone convinced us that celery has negative calories. But are these medications really the villain everyone makes them out to be? Ashley Koff has been studying GLP-1 and GIP since 2004,

How This Doctor Runs Three Miles and Benches 200 Pounds at 79 | Dr. Jerry Mixon Jul 28, 2026 4358 Doctors take an oath to care for their patients, but that care rarely extends to themselves.  Dr. Jerry Mixon spent 21 years as a country doctor delivering babies and setting bones, and by his late 40s, the job had slowly hollowed him out. He was depressed, overweight, exhausted, and watching his marriage fall apart under the hours. So he decided to test something on himself before he ever

Steroids Broke Her Bones Before She Became the Queen of Biohacking | Dr. Lauren Leiva Jul 24, 2026 4363 As a teenager, Lauren Leiva was diagnosed with Crohn's disease. The steroids doctors put her on broke her bones, changed the shape of her face, and left her looking sick. She was in and out of hospitals for years, treated by a system that was guessing as much as it was healing, and she remembers feeling like an experiment rather than a patient. That experience is the reason she built her entire pr

Can Ketosis Be the Answer to Easy Weight Loss | Ben Azadi Jul 21, 2026 2640 Health has been a sensitive topic in the United States for nearly half a century at this point. So the fact that 9 out of 10 Americans are not metabolically healthy is alarming, to say the least. While most people are unaware of this, those who are often try to fix the problem by changing their diet. Sure, that helps, but it usually misses the actual switch that needs to be flipped. And that switc

Sitting or Smoking, Which Does More Damage to Your Health | Dr. Alan Rozanski Jul 17, 2026 3603 Cigarette smoking rates have dropped to historic lows. High-quality generic statins are highly affordable. With all of the advanced diagnostics, effective medications, and a better overall understanding of cardiovascular risk, managing cholesterol is easier than ever. Yet, heart disease still causes roughly 1 in every 3 deaths in the US and is, in fact, the number one cause of death worldwide. For

Poop Transfers AKA Fecal Microbiota Transfer (FMT) May Reverse Aging | Dr. Shaina Cahill Jul 14, 2026 4478 Nearly 12 million people are living with Parkinson's disease worldwide, and it's the fastest-growing neurological disorder on the planet.
