Circadian rhythms occur on a recurring basis with a frequency of approximately 24 hours.

They are largely governed by the light-dark cycle mediated by the Earth’s rotation around the sun.

Homo sapiens has historically largely been an equatorial-dwelling species, so this amounted to, on an annually averaged basis, about 12-hours light/12-hours dark; with longer days in summer and longer nights in winter.

Diurnal and seasonal temperatures fluctuate as well.

Implications on metabolic health, diabetes risk, insulinemia, etc., etc.

Why are meatards (jk no offense, just referring to people on “carnivore” diets) re-incorporating carbs in the form of honey back in their diet?

[Patron link]

1) humans eating only meat is really throwing out the baby with the bathwater. It’s not “Our Ancestral Way of Eating,” there was probably just one or two things that were problematic, and they got rid of everything but meat. And 99% make up reasons other than weight loss for why they follow this diet. It’s a CICO/UPF restriction thing, not #meatheals.

2) I’m empathetic toward ethical vegans but not any kind of vegan myself. Opinions on honey in this context are mixed.

3) now onto HUNNY

Anyone love hunny? Which kinds? Any noticeable medicinal effects? Let me know in the comments!

Royal jelly, propolis &/or Queen bee acid, pollen?

The cold protocol was basically putting your wrists in ice water for one minute on, 2 minutes break, and another minute. This is similar to some brown adipose tissue activating protocols which consist simply of dipping your feet in ice water.

For reference, more intense protocols have you going shirtless in front of a fan blowing cold air or taking outright ice baths. You don’t have to do that.

In this study, the exercise was 20 minutes of cycling at 90 watts. Depending on your level of physical fitness, not quite enough to break a sweat.

We all remember Kevin Hall’s classic paper comparing whole foods to their ultra-processed counterparts (UPF) in an ad lib context. Tl;dr: when relatively controlled for macro- and micro-nutrients, people ate more UPF when offered similar quantities. And we’re not talking Frito’s vs. maize (the only ingredient in Frito’s is corn); it was more like apples vs. applesauce.

What’s worse… besides eating more quantitatively, you may even be harvesting calories more efficiently. Ie, it’s double fattening. Also included, some other interesting effects of cooking/processing on nutrient bioavailability/accessibility. In no logical order :)&nbsp;</p>
Some examples…

Many disclaimers: I local the idea of localized treatments. If you have a skin infection, a topical anti-infective agent is preferable to a systemic one. It’s not a thing [yet?}, but oral pre/pro-biotics are preferable to injectables for gut health. Local delivery.

By [oddly] popular request: hair thinning. I do requests pretty frequently (so don’t hesitate to ask!), and if it’s not my expertise, I’m usually happy to at least take a 30000-foot view of the topic.

Tl;dr: start now. Already thinning hair? Start now. Not thinning yet? Start now. The inconvenience and cost is quite minimal (translation: interventions are easy and cheap).

We’ll start with the easy ones. Then the fun ones. Yes, there are fun ones 🙂
