Inside the Brain’s Secret Fuel, Why One Molecule Can Calm the Storm
There’s a kind of stillness the brain can reach, not empty, not numb, but clear. It happens when a certain molecule takes over. A molecule that doesn’t shout like sugar does. It hums quietly, steadily, with the precision of something…
What If Ketosis Isn’t a Diet, But Our Default Setting?
The word ketosis gets tossed around a lot these days. It sounds clinical, calculated, like something that happens after counting carbs or drinking buttered coffee. But strip away the buzz, and you find something older. Something instinctual. Maybe ketosis isn’t…

Is GLP-1 the Start of a Smarter, More Personalized Future?
Once buried in gut tissue, GLP-1 looked like a biochemical footnote. Then it turned out to be a switch. Flip it on, and the body downshifts: slower stomach emptying, steadier insulin, quieter appetite. A brake pedal masquerading as a hormone….
Can We Rethink Obesity Treatment for Kids and Teens?
Child and adolescent obesity isn’t a single issue. It’s biology, behavior, food environments, sleep, screens, stress, and, more recently, powerful metabolic medicines. The old recipe of “eat less, move more” helps some, but not nearly enough. We need tools that…
