Saw Palmetto Might not be Your Wonder Tonic

Saw Palmetto Might not be Your Wonder Tonic Since working on the article Herbal Interventions for Male Infertility , I have been doing a lot of research into the commonly indicated herb Saw Palmetto ( Serenoa repens) berry.

Most often, it is indicated, and used, for prostate health. It is widely known as a …

Combining Neurogenisis with DNA and Telomere Repair

Combining Neurogenisis with DNA and Telomere Repair Ever since watching this TED Talk with Aubrey de Grey, where he introduces his theory of reversing/slowing down mitochondrial aging, I have known there is a deeper wisdom (and a much more easily accessible mechanism) in how cells age, and what can be done to both slow that process down and reverse unwarranted--premature--aging that has been caused by environmental and lifestyle effects.

Initial Tests and Observations So far, I& …

(re)Learning to Move with MovNat The idea of real movement is permeating our collective brains right now, and I'm so glad for that. The whole Cross Fit thing was great to introduce movement into fitness, something that has been largely lacking in fitness. As my inability to stay indoors has grown over the years, I've been looking more and more into ideas of fitness in the world. Not in a gym. The ideas of Erwan Le Corre and MovNat are right there.
