Emily Fletcher JAN 2026 There are a lot of benefits to a Ziva meditation practice: better sleep, less anxiety and overwhelm, more energy, stronger immunity, and improved focus and productivity. But there’s another benefit that may surprise you: mind-blowing sex.  A few years ago, I had a student who came to me and said…  “You joked once before about meditation making my sex better, but what’s happening for me is crazy. It feels crass to say, but my sex life has be

Ken Swartz, MS JAN 2026 In today’s world, we think about more than calories and nutrients—we think about what’s riding along with our food. One name that comes up often is glyphosate, a widely used weed killer. It shows up in trace amounts across common crops, from oats to soy. Regulators keep exposure levels well below safety limits, but many people who like to stay proactive prefer to minimize them where they can. This isn’t about fear—it’s about awareness and

When Perception Changes the Body By Ellen Langer, PhD DEC 2025 Although most of us don’t realize it, we have mindlessly accepted mind/body dualism—you have a mind and you have a body, and they are separate and independent.  In fact, it wasn’t that long ago that the medical model taught that our psychology was irrelevant to our health. Thoughts couldn’t make you sick. To be sick, you needed the introduction of an antigen. If you have a pain that isn’t understood, you mig

By Jay Dhaliwal DEC 2025 For decades, we’ve been conditioned to outsource our wellness. When something hurts, we medicate. When our minds are foggy, we caffeinate. When stress builds, we supplement, scroll, or self-diagnose. We’ve built an entire health culture on the idea that relief must come from somewhere else.  But the truth is far simpler—and far more powerful.  The most advanced technology for healing has always lived inside us. We just forgot how

Why women (and men) everywhere are turning to lymphatic drainage to boost energy, reduce puffiness, and biohack their health back. By Dr. Caitlin Czezowski DEC 2025 Imagine waking up feeling light, energized, and clear-headed; not puffy, sluggish, or foggy-brained. That’s not just wishful thinking; it’s what happens when your lymphatic system is flowing the way it should. The lymphatic system is the unsung hero of health. It carries away cellular waste, s

By Dr. David Minkoff DEC 2025 In the lobby of our clinic sits a large quote from one of the most controversial, successful, and challenged beings in history. He wrote:   “Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they’ve been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It’s an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It’s a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossib

A Nutritional Psychiatry Guide to Better Rest and Better Hormones Dr. Uma Naidoo, MD DEC 2025 Hormones, Sleep, and Nutrition Hormones are the body’s chemical messengers, influencing nearly every aspect of health, from energy levels and mood to metabolism, fertility, and sleep. When our hormones are in balance, we tend to feel stable, energized, and resilient. When they are disrupted, however, symptoms such as fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, low libido, and

By Dr. Mark L. Gordon DEC 2025 Clinical Implications for Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Dementia As women age, their hormone levels undergo dramatic changes. After menopause, usually in the early fifties, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and other key hormones fall to very low levels. By the time a woman reaches 65, her body and brain have often lived decades in this hormone-deficient state. These hormones are not just for reproduction.

Evidence-Based • Latest Research • Actionable Science By John Assaraf DEC 2025 Advanced neuroplasticity research reveals how your brain adapts and changes throughout life — Even into your 80s. Here's something that's going to revolutionize how you think about your aging brain: Scientists at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases just shattered one of the biggest myths about getting older. Using ultra-high-resolution brain scanners, they discover

How Resonant Quartz May Tune the Body’s Rhythms By Dr. Nassim Haramein and William Brown DEC 2025 If you wear a smartwatch, you’ve already embraced the idea that invisible rhythms—heart rate variability (HRV), sleep cycles, breath cadence—can be tracked and trained for better living. ARK Technology extends that concept one layer deeper, into the physics of how matter organizes itself. The term ARK stands for ‘Advanced Resonance Kinetics’, a technology th

The Longevity Hack Hidden in Your Microcirculation By William W. Li, MD DEC 2025 The average adult has 60,000 miles of blood vessels in their body, a network so extensive that if connected end-to-end, it would encircle the Earth twice. This is your circulation, and angiogenesis — how the body grows and maintains the health of your blood vessels —  is the new player on the block when it comes to biohacking for longevity. Your blood vessels are the highways and bywa

Simple daily practices to upgrade your energy, mood, and longevity By Dr. Judson Wall, DDS DEC 2025 1. GET YOUR MOUTH HEALTHY If the mouth isn’t healthy, nothing in the body can be healthy! In 2025 alone, there have been more than 130 articles published in peer-reviewed journals on the topic of the oral-systemic connection. There are more than 600 known microbes in the mouth. Many of these “bugs” cause systemic disease when they are sustained by refined foods, poor o

Learn more about the 10 hidden oral triggers of inflammation By Dr. Gerry Curatola, DDS DEC 2025 Most people think of their mouth as separate from the rest of their body. But in reality, the mouth is the front door to overall health. Bacteria, toxins, and chronic irritation that start in the mouth don’t stay there—they travel through the bloodstream, sparking low-grade inflammation that can silently damage the heart, brain, joints, and other organs. Scientists now agre

The Science of Clearing the Mind for Lasting Brain Resilience By Dr. Christine Schaffner, ND DEC 2025 I have been practicing as a physician for over 15 years, guiding patients through the complexities of chronic illness, detoxification, and neuroinflammation. Yet in 2022, my work took on a deeper, more personal meaning when I was diagnosed with a 3.2 cm macroadenoma on my pituitary gland—an aggressive benign tumor secreting growth hormone that required brain surgery.

Ken Swartz, MS DEC 2025 As someone dedicated to optimizing health and performance, you understand that the principles of biohacking aren't just for humans. If you're applying cutting-edge research to your own nutrition and wellness, it's a natural next step to seek out the same advantages for your animal companions. You've likely encountered the term "antioxidant" in performance supplements, and its role is just as critical for our pets. This guide explores the sc

Kevin Kearns DEC 2025 We don’t talk about it. We don’t admit it. We sure as hell don’t ask for help. For too many men — especially those of us over 50 — mental health remains the last taboo. We’ll talk about business deals, our cholesterol, or our bench press numbers before we talk about how we feel. Yet behind that silence, there’s a storm brewing: depression, anxiety, loneliness, even suicidal thoughts. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: many of us are fighting

Andi Lew NOV 2025 You & your kids addicted to tech? It’s a case of “monkey see, monkey do,” and it’s a real health issue. The epidemic is the secondary lifestyle that has become the byproduct of using too much technology. It’s not just about being seated, but it’s the type of posture we have developed, which is scary and a huge concern! Absolutely, children should be limited to screen time, and in my professional and personal opinion, I believe no child should have t

Dr. Lisa Piper NOV 2025 The Holiday Food Paradox The holidays are filled with joy, but also with overwhelm. The dishes we crave all year suddenly appear in abundance. Family expectations rise. Emotional triggers return. Travel disrupts routines. And before we know it, the simple act of eating becomes a minefield. As a Board-Certified Doctor of Natural Medicine, I see this pattern every year: people want to feel good. They want to enjoy their meals. They want to sta

Dr Marlene Siegel NOV 2025 Ear infections, particularly otitis externa, are a prevalent concern in veterinary practices. Studies indicate that otitis externa affects approximately 10% to 20% of dogs, making it one of the most common reasons for veterinary visits. We have been led to believe that the predisposing cause of ear infections in dogs and cats is due to their long, narrow ear canals that trap moisture, wax, and debris. Supposedly, breeds with floppy ears have

Dr. Uma Naidoo NOV 2025 Thanksgiving is a time of gratitude, connection, and delicious tradition. But it can also be a season of stress, overindulgence, and mental fatigue. What if your holiday plate could not only satisfy cravings but also actively support your brain health, mood, and emotional well-being? As a nutritional psychiatrist, I like to remind my patients that food is not just fuel; it’s information for the brain. The right nutrients can help regulate st
