Some intriguing, potentially alarming, results here, but we'll see what interpretations we can really make on this data - dive in with me!

Burning More Fat DOES NOT mean losing more BODY FAT
In this episode, I attempt to make it as clear as possible, by comparison of high fat/keto to high carbohydrate diets and how they differ in their ability produce body fat loss, although one promotes greater fat burning/oxidation.

I ran an Experiment on Myself [Muscle Maintenance] and Your Questions Answered
In this episode, I cover more detail on an experiment I decided to try on myself over the last 10 months wherein I try to maintain my muscle with minimal effort. I answer questions from 10 people who wrote questions out on how I pulled it off, as well as other questions related to fat loss and muscle perseveration.

Mutations that affect Muscle Fusion
In this podcast, we'll be going over a presentation I gave in one of my courses on Muscle Biology - specifically, how certain mutations in a gene can impede muscle cells' ability to fuse, and on top of that, why some people survive it and why others do not.

You Can't Have it All [Lifespan vs Health span]
There is no human condition wherein you will be at peak form in multiple areas. Much like the idea of the generalist vs the specialist - your body can't be a specialist in all ways, and in the same vein, there is no diet that will be the "ultimate" diet that will help you achieve peak-ness in all areas. The discussion of lifespan vs health span is a great example of that, as well as the idea of growth and uncontrolled growth (cancer).

Fasting and Calorie Counting: Which stimulates Hunger Hormones? [Leptin, MSH, AgRP]
In this content, I dive into a study looking into three hunger related hormones and the effect water fasting and calorie counting have, in obese and lean individuals, on three hunger hormones - leptin, melanocyte stimulating hormone (MSH), and Aguiti Related Protein (AgRP). Does fasting stimulate these hormones or does calorie counting? Does obesity play a factor? Find out!

Fractalkine: A marker for Alzheimer's and Neuroinflammation
In this episode, I discuss a molecule I ran across when listening to the Joe Rogan Experience. This molecule, known as fractalkine, has some unique characteristics and potential implications in a series of different diseases and brain related health outcomes - mostly related to inflammation in the brain.
