Why I take colostrum every single day, especially with how much I travel...

Travel, stress, changing routines, and lack of sleep can all C4666 a toll on your gut. And when your gut lining is only one cell thick, supporting that barrier is something I take seriously.

I’m a big fan of Cymbiotika’s Liquid Colostrum because it’s simple. It’s whole bovine colostrum from grass-fed cows here in the U.S., one packet, no scooping and no mixing.

Do you listen to music when you workout?

Cellular health is about more than one habit or one lab result.

Dr. Will Cole explains his view that cellular dysfunction can be influenced by a combination of factors, from nutrition and environmental exposures to stress and other aspects of your lifestyle.

And the answer isn’t going to look the same for everyone. For some people, food may be a bigger piece of the puzzle. For others, it may be environmental exposures or chronic stress. Often, it’s a combination.

MILLENNIALS ARE AGING FASTER THAN GENERATIONS BEFORE THEM.

Dr. Will Cole and I get into why this is showing up in people in their 20s, 30s and 40s.

Eating clean matters. But so do environmental toxins, chronic stress and what’s happening mentally and emotionally. Your cellular health is a much bigger picture than diet alone.

The good news? Once you know what you’re dealing with, you can do something about it.

I spent 20 years looking at data that predicted how long people would live.

What still surprises me is this. Millions of people have already had their DNA read, and most of them only ever looked at where their great-grandparents came from.

That same file usually holds the genes that influence how your body uses folate, B12 and the nutrients you take every day.

Upload it and we'll look for the 13 core methylation genes that shape how your body uses folate, B12 and other key nutrients, then build your supplement plan around them.

This will change how you think about your workout clothes.

A lot of performance gear is made from polyester, nylon, and spandex. In other words, synthetic, petroleum-based fibers. Add heat, sweat, and friction, and I personally don’t want those materials sitting against my skin for hours.

That’s why I’ve been switching more of my workout clothes to natural fibers like 100% organic cotton and wool. You don’t need to throw out your entire closet. Just start reading the tags and paying attention to what’s actually touching your skin.

Best foods for brain health and cognitive function:

- Wild-caught fatty fish (EPA and DHA are the structural fats of brain cell membranes)
- Eggs with the yolk (choline is the direct precursor to acetylcholine, your memory neurotransmitter)
- Wild blueberries (anthocyanins cross the blood-brain barrier and reduce neuroinflammation)
- Walnuts (the highest plant source of omega-3 ALA plus Vitamin E for neuroprotection)
- Beef liver (the richest source of B12 and folate which drive brain methylation)
- Extra virgin olive oil (oleocanthal crosses the blood-brain barrier and reduces amyloid plaques)

What you eat directly determines what your brain has to work with.

Gut health can influence a lot more than digestion.

Taylor Dukes explains why supporting the gut often starts with the basics: prioritizing whole foods, reducing highly processed foods and added sugar, and managing stress.

But when those foundations are already in place and something still feels off, she believes in testing instead of guessing. Understanding what’s actually happening in the gut can help identify imbalances and guide what comes next. The gut and brain are constantly communicating. Taking care of one can have effects far beyond the digestive system.

Trust in healthcare isn’t something that can be assumed. It has to be earned.

Admiral Brian Christine shares why rebuilding trust in America’s healthcare institutions became personal for him after seeing how much confidence was lost during the COVID-19 pandemic.

As a physician and surgeon, he wanted to be part of rebuilding that relationship between the public, healthcare professionals, and the institutions making decisions that affect millions of people. Restoring trust starts with giving people a reason to believe in the system again.

Want to get more out of your workout without adding more time? Add weight.

Research has shown that wearing a weighted vest can increase calorie burn by 18% during walking and up to 69% during higher-intensity workouts.

That’s why I’m such a fan of weighted vests. You’re taking movement you’re already doing and making it work harder for you.

You guys have seen this set-up before 😂 I eat pretty much the same breakfast every day. It might be boring, but it works for me:
✔ 3 farm-fresh eggs
✔ Sourdough toast with grass-fed butter
✔ Sauerkraut, kimchi, or another fermented vegetable
✔ Organic apple slices or berries
✔ Water

I focus on protein, healthy fats, fermented foods, fruit, and hydration and keep it consistent.

What would you add to this breakfast?👇🏻

What keeps someone running day after day, year after year? For Andy Glaze, the answer is actually pretty simple: he genuinely loves it.

But somewhere along the way, running became about more than miles. Sharing his journey online gave him another way to do what originally drew him to the fire service: help people.

Now, something that brings him joy has become a way to inspire millions of people around the world to keep going. Sometimes the thing you love doing can become bigger than you ever expected.

AUSTRALIA, THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

2 incredible days. I could not be more grateful for the welcome you’ve given me.

We just hit a HUGE milestone with 300 Ultimate Longevity Center locations signed in the U.S. And now I finally get to say it... ULTIMATE LONGEVITY CENTER IS COMING TO AUSTRALIA.

Our mission is simple: help more people understand their biology and live longer, stronger, healthier lives with the people they love. We’re only getting started.

PET OWNERS: Check what you’re feeding your pets.

A study THIS YEAR detected PFAS “forever chemicals” in 92% dog and cat food brands. How sad.

We pay attention to what’s in our food and water. We need to start asking the same questions about what’s going into our pets’ bowls every single day. This is exactly why I say: know what you’re consuming. And that includes what you’re feeding your pets.

Your oral health routine doesn’t need to be complicated.

A few simple habits can make a difference: use a soft-bristle or electric toothbrush, floss before brushing, stay hydrated to support saliva production, and limit frequent exposure to sugar and acidic drinks.

Your mouth is connected to the rest of your body, so taking care of it goes far beyond having a clean smile.

[Gary Brecka @thegarybrecka]

Sleep is one of those things you don’t fully appreciate until you’re not getting enough of it.

Try to make the bedroom as sleep-friendly as possible: cool, dark, comfortable, and free from anything that might get in the way of a good night’s rest.

What’s one thing you can’t sleep without?
