People occasionally ask what I actually do — not the science, but the practical day-to-day. I’m 61, I feel better than I did in my 40s, and I’m happy to lay out the real routine. There’s no secret in it, and the boring foundations matter far more than any single product. Sleep comes first. I … Read more
The skincare industry is enormous and almost entirely focused on the outside — creams, serums, treatments applied to the surface. Some of that genuinely helps. But your skin is a living organ made of cells, and a large part of how it ages is driven from the inside, by the same cellular chemistry that governs … Read more
We all know we’re supposed to sleep more. What’s less appreciated is what sleep actually does at the cellular level — and why no supplement substitutes for it. If you take one foundational health habit seriously, this is the one I’d start with. During sleep, your cells run maintenance that’s hard to run while you’re … Read more
People tend to approach health in bursts. A hard month at the gym, a strict diet for three weeks, a pile of new supplements all at once. Then life happens and it all lapses. I understand the impulse — intensity feels like progress. But when it comes to cellular health, steady and consistent beats intense … Read more
There’s an antioxidant getting a lot of attention lately — glutathione. You’ll see it in IV drip bars, premium supplements, and anti-aging clinics, often called the “master antioxidant.” The interesting thing is that most of what’s said about its importance is accurate. Glutathione genuinely is one of your body’s most important antioxidant defenses. The part … Read more
I have a background in physics and chemistry, not medicine. But evaluating research isn’t really about credentials — it’s about a handful of habits you can learn and apply to anything. Since I write about science here and ask you to take some of it seriously, I think it’s only fair to show you how … Read more
Here’s something that genuinely surprised me when I first read the research, and it flips a common assumption on its head. When you exercise, your muscles produce reactive oxygen molecules — the very things antioxidant marketing tells you to fear. And it turns out those molecules are a required part of how exercise makes you … Read more
Modern health advice is overwhelmingly organized around symptoms. Tired? Here’s an energy product. Achy? Here’s something for that. Not sleeping? Here’s a sleep aid. Each one targets the thing you can feel. And there’s nothing wrong with relief — but if you only ever chase symptoms, you can spend years managing effects while the underlying … Read more
There’s a pattern that shows up again and again in the biology of aging, and once you see it, a lot of things click into place. Many of the systems that keep you functioning well don’t fail suddenly — they gradually produce less of what they need. Hormones decline. Certain enzymes decline. And the cellular … Read more
I write mostly about the science of cellular health, but part of what I do is also a business — I’m a brand partner for ASEA, the redox signaling product I use and believe in. I’d rather be straight about that than have you wonder. And since some of you have asked, I want to … Read more
