Your cells are aging faster than you think. After age 18, mitochondrial density declines by 1% every year—one of the clearest biological markers of aging. By 70, you’ve lost more than half your cellular energy capacity. Here’s what most people miss: this decline isn’t

Depression is a deficiency of brain energy production. Serotonin's role is not to boost your mood. It is to coordinate throughout your entire body the ability of your mitochondria to produce energy during transitions from lower to higher energy demand by coordinating the
Depression is strongly associated with altitude, which causes hypoxia. Waking up is a form of hypoxia because your energy demand increases faster than mitochondria can adjust. Circadian disruption increases cellular hypoxia markers 26-fold in the eyes of rats, strongly

I haven’t been as present covering the Kings lately — not from disinterest, but because I’ve been pouring my energy into something that feels like the foundation of everything I care about. While I rarely talk politics online, I’ve quietly built my path in international

A lot of people in the comments didn't understand this, so I rewrote it in a clearer format focused on the overarching concept instead of the specific lines of evidence: https://t.co/9P8s06EK7Y

Traveling can be boring, especially when you can’t reach your paid subscriptions and watch your favorite show. Just get NordVPN and unbore your journey!

Whether you like it or not, this collection is likely to end up in the NFT history books: a turning point in NFT culture. Just as @cryptopunksnfts shaped combinative art, it’ll inspire artists to explore AI-generated variations ready for games, AI agents, and futuristic

The teatotaler position is indefensible. If you think a half drink a day is the same as zero, you think like an alcoholic. That’s 15 drinks a month. True moderation compared to 1-2 drinks a day, which is “soft alcoholism.” There’s no evidence that zero is better than this.
@hubermanlab @SimonMagus If you look at this graph, zero alcohol makes men “mildly demented” compared to a half drink per day, which is 3-4 drinks per week.

@TheBitcoinLayer @_Checkmatey_ @crossbordercap @LukeGromen @jvisserlabs Now you *really* need to get your popcorn out. In real-time, BTC is bouncing off the 50-week moving average perfectly. The *top* of the 2021 bull market was marked by a dead cat bounce off this average and a sink below it two weeks later. However, the *bottom* of this entire

I have updated several guides, ebooks, and articles that had only linked to the Italian product to now include the Double Tree and Lactoferrin Co products:

The supplements allow you more optionality for your diet since you don’t need to occupy a large portion of your protein requirement and a substantial portion of your caloric load with a protein powder.

On the other hand, while whey protein manufacturers do not measure and report the lactoferrin contents of their products and there is about two-fold variation between products according to the literature, we can say that one to two 20-gram scoops of whey protein will provide

Thus, colostrum is a good source if you are drinking it in volume like a newborn would and raw milk is a good source if it makes up most of your calories, but these are not good sources to obtain 200 to 400 milligrams of lactoferrin per day as a supplement to your existing diet.

Raw milk (pasteurization destroys over half of the lactoferrin) probably only has around 10 milligrams per cup.

While milk naturally contains lactoferrin, and while the early milk meant for a newborn known as colostrum is especially enriched in it, a capsule of colostrum only contains about 2.6 milligrams of lactoferrin.
