In this solosode, I dive into several research-backed strategies I’ve been experimenting with lately—from incorporating isometric exercises to reduce joint strain and improve running efficiency, to the surprising data showing that just ten minutes of genuinely vigorous exercise per day can dramatically reduce long-term health risk.
Here are a few of the topics I cover:
🧠 What researchers call the “brain energy crisis” behind certain forms of cognitive decline, and how ketones and mitochondrial-targeting compounds may help bypass impaired glucose metabolism.
⚡ How methylene blue, supplemental ketones, and near-infrared light may work together to support mitochondrial energy and brain performance.
🌿 Why I’ve personally moved away from metformin and the natural strategies I now use instead, including berberine, fiber, Ceylon cinnamon, myo-inositol, and apple cider vinegar.
I also answer listener questions on optimizing DHT levels, natural insulin-sensitizers, and keeping your hair healthy, even if you’re on testosterone. If you’re interested in practical strategies and exploring what’s currently working in my own routine, you’ll enjoy this episode.
