A guide to nutrients that support mitochondria Mitochondria turn food into usable energy (ATP) and are critical for brain, muscle, and overall health. Stress, aging, and disease can damage them, but certain nutrients help keep them strong and functional. 1️⃣ Antioxidants &

Your gut isn’t just digesting food… It’s running a biochemical factory that keeps you alive. Most people think the colon is just “where waste goes.” But this illustration shows something more: Your colon is one of the most underrated metabolic organs in the entire body.

Proteins aren’t just something you eat; they’re the actual machinery that keeps you alive. Once you see how many layers of structure a protein has to go through just to work, it makes sense why biology is as precise (and fragile) as it is. At the top, you’ve got the basics:

Britain is rotting. Blocked road drains. Potholes. Rubbish strewn streets. Dirty buildings. Road signs covered in muck. We are paying increased council tax, yet local authorities aren’t doing the basics. So let’s take the matter into our own hands. #GreatBritishCleanUp

The first organ that can actually see type 2 diabetes is skeletal muscle. Around 80-85% of glucose disposal under hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp conditions happens in skeletal muscle. That is why it is the most important organ to prevent type 2 diabetes. In normal

Understanding pseudoscience starts with understanding science itself. Science is a process aimed at getting closer to the truth. Pseudoscience, by contrast, lacks the methods and rigor that underpin scientific inquiry. Read more here: bit.ly/4218YA0

Women with just 1.36% dehydration experience substantial mood deterioration: ↑ Anger-hostility 8% ↑ Fatigue 17% ↓ Vigor 12% ↑ Mood disturbance 19% ↑ Task difficulty perception 58% ↓ Concentration 45% ↑ Headaches 2x

If you’ve ever wondered why diet, exercise, stress, or blood sugar affect your energy… this is the map behind it. This chart looks complicated, but here’s the simple truth: Your body only has one big metabolic system, and everything you eat (carbs, fats, protein) eventually

A massive global review just confirmed it. Clinical trials + real-world data from 132 million people across the globe. The HPV vaccine doesn’t just reduce cervical cancer. It almost eliminates it. Yes, you read that right. Girls vaccinated before 16 have an 80% lower risk of

Creatine made simple: how your body builds and uses its energy buffer Creatine is a molecule your body makes naturally to keep energy flowing smoothly, especially in muscles and the brain. Here’s how the system works: 1️⃣ Where It Begins Creatine starts in your kidneys, where

Energy needs must be restored *before* starting any strength work in athletes with RED-S. If done so it has multiple potential benefits. Our graphic summarises recommendations from an excellent recent paper by Dr Rich Blagrove & colleagues, available here:
