If your day to day is anything like mine, finding time for a rigorous workout can be a challenge. However, there's a secret weapon in the battle against a sedentary lifestyle: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT). This blog post will delve into what NEAT is, its benefits, and how busy professionals can easily incorporate it into their daily routines. I'll also introduce a simple yet effective exercise that is gaining more and more traction based on research—the soleus push-up....

If you've been following along for a bit, you might remember that January is one of the months that I always do bloodwork to track the impact of the various health related experiments I do over the year. This month, in addition to my normal work done by InsideTracker, I also tested out a new system from Siphox Health. Read on for my Siphox Health Review and to see how it compares to using InsideTracker.Why Siphox? So why did I decide to give Siphox a try? If you've read my review of...

When I finally got serious about 'getting fit', I bought my first Oura ring. At the time, I primarily wanted to fix my sleep issues. A happy side effect of this purchase was that it made me more aware of my Heart Rate Variability (HRV). I always considered my HRV on the lower side, but quickly realized that I felt my best when it was at the higher end of the range. Pretty much since this realization, I've been experimenting with various ways of raising my HRV. Many ways of raising HRV involve...

My email newsletter is entitled Fermenting Solutions. It started years ago as an effort to 'dog food' AWeber's Curate mobile app. It's a semi regular chronicle of a current project that I'm spending time on... the trials, tribulations and the interesting beverages I've had to drink while trying to work through them. You can read past issues here. If you're interested in getting all new issues in your inbox, you can also sign up at the above link.

I remember reading about the Quantified Self movement in the early 2000s. Even though this was something that people were experimenting with for years, I felt that it was a revolutionary approach to understanding and improving our health and well-being. In the early days, it was difficult to collect and analyze all of the data that would be useful to collect. During this time, I've witnessed the incredible potential of wearable technology and mobile apps to revolutionize the way we track...

The Barefoot Revolution: Why You'll Love Wearing Zero Drop Shoes for Adventure and BeyondAs we focus on the complexities of modern life, it's easy to overlook one of the most fundamental aspects of our daily existence: our feet. We stuff them into ill-fitting shoes, pound the pavement, and expect them to perform without complaint. But what if our shoes are actually doing more harm than good? Enter barefoot shoes, a game-changing innovation that's revolutionizing the way we think about footwea...

I recently got my hands on a Move+ Red Light Therapy device from Kineon Labs. If you're familiar with my blog, you know that this isn't the first Photobiomodulation (PBM) device that I've used. I regularly use and have written about the 2.0 generation of devices made by Joovv. The Move+ is a different take on PBM.Form FactorWhen you first compare the Move+ to similar devices, the most glaring difference is the form factor. Most other PBM devices are various sized 'panels'. The Move+ incorpora...

My Levels Health ReviewI'm constantly doing more research into how to increase my overall healthspan. It's becoming increasingly clear, that 'metabolic flexibility' is key. While many of the great diseases of the western world have genetic components, research is showing that genetic predisposition is greatly enhanced by poor metabolic fitness. I started practicing time restricted feeding and experimenting with supplements in an attempt to optimize my personal metabolic fl...

I'm fanatical about tech gadgets, but even more so for wearables and things that reliably fulfill my needs as a "Quantified Selfer". Good quality sleep data has always been elusive. Many devices that I've tried were so intrusive as to ruin any chance of actually getting good sleep. Others just did a terrible job of reliably collecting the data that I wanted. I backed a Kickstarter for the Hello Sense. This was one of the first devices that really generated useful data. Not only did it track m...
