When fat cells become "full", the body begins storing excess fat in other tissues. This ectopic fat is primarily a problem not because of the amount of fat, but rather the type of fat.

When fat cells are overfilled, they not only release fats (as free fatty acids; FFA), but they also release inflammatory cytokines. Of course, this is all occurring in the midst of elevated insulin. This creates not only a metabolic paradox (high insulin and high FFA), but a metabolic pressure on the recipient tissues. Now, they're not only forced to store the FFA (the high insulin prevents fat burning), but some of these FFA are being converted into the sphingolipid ceramide.

And ceramides, more than any other signal, are what drive insulin resistance.

Hot yoga reduces depression symptoms.

Eight weeks of yoga in 105°F reduced depression scores by an average of 13 points in adults with moderate depression, and 44% of participants became nearly symptom-free.

There was also a dose-response relationship - each additional session was associated with nearly another 1-point reduction in depression scores.

It's not a standalone replacement for mental health care, but heat + movement is so powerful for physical and mental health.

I do not understand people who make general statements about “therapy” or “therapists.”

There is no definition of what it means to be a therapist. There is no such thing as therapy to believe in, or not believe in.

There is only the knowledge and skill of the individual clinician, the psychology and circumstances of the individual patient, and what happens between them.

There’s more to the youth mental health crisis than social media. A key culprit is perfectionism.

307 studies, 35 years, 83k students: Young adults feel growing pressure to be flawless.

It's a risk factor for depression and anxiety—and it began a generation before smartphones.

Me parece fascinante que la clave aquí no sea solo comer más vegetales, sino la restricción de metionina. Es uno de esos mecanismos de los que casi nadie habla y que explica por qué las dietas tradicionales de las zonas más longevas funcionaban sin que nadie supiera por qué.

Un nuevo informe que demuestra la perversidad con la que Israel no solo ha cometido un genocidio, sino que deliberadamente ha asesinado a más de 20.000 niños y niñas y herido a más de 40.000.

Todo los crímenes del Estado sionista están siendo pulcramente documentados. Nuestro deber es conseguir que algún día se empleen como pruebas para hacer justicia.
