Astronomical summer begins tomorrow morning at 4:24 a.m. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere, the point when the earth will be closest to the sun. Because it will also be the longest day of the year, it will also provide the greatest exposure to the sun and its ultraviolet light if you’re going to be outdoors. […]
Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenol methoxyphenyl triazine! Say that five times fast. Heck, say it fast once! No, this isn’t a memo about tongue twisters; it’s about the FDA finally approving a new ingredient for sunscreen in the U.S. A simpler name is BEMT, bemotrizinol, or Tinosorb-S. Why a new sunscreen ingredient? It not only neutralizes the free radical […]
If you read the article on creatine posted by the AMA, while as short as a sentence or two, the points were valid. Let me elaborate on a couple of the ones I think are most important. Creatine Builds More than Muscle The point they were making is that creatine may be beneficial to build […]
After last week, you may be thinking I’m going to talk about another healthcare professional dissing supplements. I’m very pleased to say that’s not correct this time around. You can read the article by clicking here; I wouldn’t recommend listening to the audio version—seems like an AI voice to me. The first thing that blew […]
I hope you had a chance to read the article I referred you to on Tuesday; you can still read it by clicking on this link. For the record, I’m not a fan of the AG1 product. In my opinion, supplements should not mix herbals from medicinal plants with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. That aside, […]
As I said when I began this arc, the key point is that whether intentional or as the result of challenges such as joint replacement, the body’s adaptation to repair and growth takes time. This week, I’m going to look at adaptation related to weight loss and weight maintenance. No matter how we choose to […]
I can’t think of a better example of positive adaptation than exercise. Whether it’s a sport skill, increasing strength, or improving cardiovascular fitness, exercise uses the adaptation principles; the difference is that it’s an intentional act instead of a response to a physical challenge. As an example, let’s use walking or running to improve the […]
In this Memo arc, I’m going to lay the foundation to support my opinion that obesity is a man-made disease. I’m adding this idea to that opinion: reducing body weight and maintaining the weight loss can occur with man-made solutions. Actually, it’s utilizing one mechanism we often overlook that the body uses all the time: […]
In a podcast about GLP-1 receptor agonists and several new medications that are under development, the expert was a researcher on the cutting edge of what these peptides can do for weight loss. A couple of things she said didn’t sit right. One was that obesity is a disease of genetic tendencies to store fat […]
I left you with some questions I had to ponder and have gotten a couple more. Then I’ll leave you with the answer I posed to my ocular surgeon. Glaucoma Glaucoma is not just a single ocular disease; there are several types. Some are related to how well the eyes drain fluid; some drain slowly […]
