Send us a text A quiet lab number is telling a loud story about modern health. We dig into uric acid as a powerful signal of metabolic strain, connecting the dots between rising sugar intake, sodium overload, dehydration, and that stubborn fatigue and weight gain so many of us feel. Drawing on pioneering research from Richard Johnson and Robert Lustig, we break down how fructose doesn’t just sweeten food; it drains cellular energy, elevates uric acid, and flips an ancient “fat switch” designe...

Exploring the Health Benefits of Saturated Fats and Full-Fat Dairy
Do you ever feel like everything you've been told about healthy eating seems to be teetering on the edge of being overturned? Welcome to a mind-bending exploration where we question the status quo, particularly the demonization of full fat dairy and saturated fats. I'm diving deep into a groundbreaking study suggesting that pentadecanoic acid, a saturated fat found in full-fat dairy could actually promote health and contribute to our longevity. We challenge the shortcomings in the tradi...
