Think your blood glucose tells the whole story? Think again. Dr. Ben Bikman (@benbikmanphd) joins me to discuss insulin resistance, including why it often remains hidden until late stages and simple ways to detect it early. We explore insulin’s lesser-known roles in fat…
If you're someone who wants to take creatine in gummy form, buyer beware. Recent analyses show some creatine gummies contain zero creatine. Source: supp.co/tested/creatin…
Are there creatine gummies you would recommend? I much prefer gummies to powder but the providers/brands all seem to be fly by night operations that don’t last long.
Why I upped my creatine dose to 10 grams per day. I used to take 5 grams of creatine daily, which provides solid benefits for muscle strength and performance (when combined with resistance training). Recently, I increased my dose to 10 grams, and here’s why I made the switch.…
Just listened to @FoundMyFitness with @BenBikmanPhD - it was a drop what you're doing and go listen kind of masterclass where they dove deep on insulin resistance, visceral fat, GLP-1s, and metabolic health. Some of my notes for the longevity and metabolic health community...
Very interesting new study on creatine for pregnant women. A dose of 5g 3-4 times daily was "effective for achieving the desired steady-state concentrations in a pregnant population." Hope to see more on this in the future and how it might translate to maternal and fetal…

FYI This year we released a "How to Train Guide" with expert-backed protocols on improving muscle performance, endurance, and cardiovascular health with exercise. You can find and download the zero-cost guide here: howtotrainguide.com
To improve glucose tolerance, build more muscle. Muscle acts as a "glucose sink," absorbing it from the bloodstream for energy or glycogen storage after meals and during exercise. As an added bonus, it also allows more dietary carbs. Heavy resistance training 2-3 times weekly…
Does our body have "muscle memory" for endurance adaptations? A fascinating study in the Journal of Applied Physiology explored this concept Researchers examined 20 young adults who underwent an eight-week high-intensity interval training (HIIT) program on stationary bikes,…
The sauna is and always will be one of my favorite "anti-aging" interventions. Not only is it backed by robust science, but it's used by cultures around the world and has been for centuries.
It’s a longevity cheat code Okinawans and Scandinavians are the world’s longest-living communities and all use heat rituals. “Sauna is the closest thing to a miracle drug for aging.” – Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness
Hot water immersion is an effective way to mimic moderate intensity aerobic exercise and improve blood pressure, similar to what has been shown with traditional sauna. In a new study, people who engaged in hot water immersion (105°F for 45 mins): • improved blood pressure by…
