Telomeres – Our Biological Aging Clock – New and Exciting Possibilities
The science of cellular aging has advanced in the last several years at a steady pace since the telomere, the repeating DNA sequence at the end of our chromosomes, was found to be the mechanism that keeps track of our cellular age and determines the number of...
Muscle versus Fat – Health Versus Disease
A key component of aging is the persistent loss of muscle paired with rising fat content. In a simplistic sense, muscle content gives us mobility, strength, speed, agility - the faculties of youth, while increasing fat content proves to be the source of most of the...
Your Number One Mechanism for a Long Healthy Life
The human body is designed to last. The primary mechanism which insures our longevity is a system of antioxidant enzymes that squelch free radicals at a rate of about 2 billion per second, sopping up these destructive molecules as fast as they are generated,...
Essential Fatty Acids – A Key to Great Health; Some Needed Clarification
The news media and even many doctors refer to 'Essential Fatty Acids' (EFAs) and lump Fish Oils in with the discussion in a way that confuses the use of the term. Strictly, the term applies to only two unsaturated fats (which are fatty acids because they are fats...

A Controversial Perspective on Nutrition
I've had a recent jolt to my understanding of nutrition, particularly with regard to fats and oils. I went looking for a private gym to see if I could do a joint venture and film some training videos with the owners. One of them took a look at my writings and website...
Specific Tools to Promote Longevity and Long-term Health
Last month I got all excited about the Nrf2/ARE Pathway and it being the primary activator of our powerful antioxidant enzymes. Recall that the activity of these free-radical scavenging enzymes is the body's primary protection against aging and disease, including the...
A Primary Cause of Our Current Obesity Crisis
In my last article I described the absolute essential nature of the two fats; linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (LNA), how the human body cannot make these fats and requires them to have life at all, let alone health. I further described how modern food...
Aging Optimally is Better Understood Today, With More and Better Tools to Help
It has been almost 7 years since I put up this website, and I find that today, the 6 Critical Keys to Senior Fitness still remain the most important aspects of living which need to be understood and attended to for maintaining excellent health into advanced age. We...
A More Useful Understanding of Antioxidants and Cellular Protection.
Sometimes useful knowledge evades even the most diligent searchers, and so it is with me on the topic of oxidative cellular damage and how to prevent it. We burn sugars, fats and protein with oxygen to produce energy. But in addition to energy, we make free radicals...
