With the goal of boosting our longevity, most people often focus on diet, exercise and stress management. But there’s one vital aspect that sometimes gets overlooked: sleep. Sleep is important because it allows for certain functions to occur — not necessarily because it in and of itself is necessarily important.  In fact, when you’re able to achieve a deep sleep, your body is able to detoxify itself and clear out the “junk” that plagues you during the day. Overall, restorative sleep can play...

We know exercise has many benefits. It decreases stress and it amps up your energy level. It strengthens your muscles and keeps your heart happy — not to mention it can even improve your sleep. But, it turns out, that’s not all. When we exercise, our muscles secrete myokines, which are small proteins that travel to the brain and serve to upload our mood and outlook on life. Also known as hope molecules, myokines can improve your overall health by reaching every major organ and positively impa...

Cognizin® Citicoline is a naturally occurring compound found within every cell of the body, with especially high concentrations in the brain and ha...

Have you heard the phrase, “You are what you eat?” Turns out, there’s more truth to that than one might think. When you sit down to your favorite dinner, the food on the table isn’t there just to quiet your growling stomach. Eating provides the body with the essential nutrients it needs to function at its very best, and the food we eat is the ultimate delivery system for these nutrients. But not all foods are created equal when it comes to nutrient delivery. Some work as powerhouses when gett...

There are many supplement “powerhouse duos” that, when taken together, can improve a person’s overall health. Vitamin C and zinc help boost the immune system and can decrease your chances of catching a cold. Calcium and magnesium can help improve bone and tooth health. But when it comes to longevity, taking the peptide BPC-157 along with probiotic Akkermansia muciniphila can have positive effects on gut health and, ultimately, longevity. BPC-157 strengthens the gut barrier, sealing off potent...

The gut microbiota is incredibly diverse, consisting of trillions of microorganisms, each with its own distinct characteristics and functions. However, in this vast labyrinth of gut microbiota, one bacteria stands out: Akkermansia muciniphila, or Akkermansia for short.  With its potential as the "longevity probiotic" gaining traction, researchers have begun to unravel Akkermansia’s many benefits and abilities when it comes to promote healthy aging while also warding off age-related ailments.1...

When we think about improving our brainpower or learning abilities, eye health isn’t usually the first thing that comes to mind. But our eyes do more than just help us see—they’re closely tied to how our brains function. Imagine someone navigating a busy city street. Their eyes are constantly taking in details like moving cars, traffic lights, and pedestrians, instantly relaying this information to the brain to make split-second decisions and keep them safe. This connection between sight and ...

Cold plunges, as unpleasant as they may seem, can potentially offer many health benefits, thanks to the body’s response to cold temperatures.  Derived from ancient Scandinavian traditions, cold exposure can trigger a range of reactions within the body, including vasoconstriction—or the narrowing of the blood vessels—and the release of neurotransmitters and hormones, ultimately promoting better circulation and supporting immune function as well as mental clarity. Cold plunges have also played ...

 Ozempic—it's arguably one of the buzziest medications on the market right now. Typically used to treat type 2 diabetes, it has gained attention in Hollywood for its weight loss effects. However, despite these benefits, many people aren't too keen to jump on the bandwagon due to Ozempic's potential side effects. Additionally, some individuals may be unable to take medications like Ozempic, making alternatives—especially natural ones—particularly valuable. But first, what is Ozempic? Ozempic ...

La salud cardiovascular y metabólica son sistemas multifacéticos que requieren un enfoque holístico para brindar un apoyo auténtico y eficaz. La mayoría de las veces, dos áreas que se pasan por alto son 1. la producción de energía y 2. el metabolismo de la glucosa. La conexión entre la salud del corazón y estos dos factores adicionales está muy bien establecida y los datos siguen confirmándolo. Entonces, con estos elementos innegablemente importantes superpuestos a ingredientes más "probados ...
