Siphox Health Review
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...

Growing Oyster Mushrooms with Hardwood Fuel Pellets
Most people who grow oyster mushrooms do so on a straw based substrate. This always seemed odd to me. Oyster mushrooms naturally grow on hard woods. In addition to this, making straw reasonably sterile for growing purposes is really annoying. I was surprised that there weren't more instructionals on using hardwood fuel pellets for growing oyster mushrooms. With the advent of pellet stoves and pellet grills, the availability of a wide variety of hardwoods in this format has grown exponent...
Building a Backyard Food Forest
I've written before about my desire to turn my backyard into a food forest using edible landscaping. I've always imagined a lush, thriving garden that requires minimal effort yet provides a bounty of products—all while resembling a natural forest ecosystem. My process of building a backyard food forest started after encountering the concept of permaculture. Rooted in ecological principles, permaculture is a holistic approach to creating sustainable systems that mimic nature’s patter...

Everyone has their go to hangover cure. Many are founded in longstanding tradition. How many actually work? I feel like I’ve tried them all and while I’ve settled on a multi pronged approach that works for me. There is a single supplement that has a surprisingly good track record. Read on for my dihydromyricetin review.
Dihydromyricetin is a bioflavinoid that is derived from the Japanese raisin tree (Hovenia dulcis). The leaves and bark of this plant have been used in traditional Asian medicine as a hangover cure among other things.
DHM has been shown to upregulate alcohol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. These are enzymes that are produced in the liver to mitigate the negative effects of consuming alcohol. Acetaldehyde is one of the substances that is primarily reponsible for the feeling associated with ‘hangovers’.
DHM can be taken before drinking or at the end of the night depending on your goals. I find that taking DHM before drinking lessens feeling the effects of alcohol. I prefer to take it after I am done drinking for the night and take ZBiotics before drinking.
I’ve tried a few different DHM supplements. The first few I tried did not seem to have any noticeable impact. This could be due to DHMs poor oral bioavailabilty. My current preferred DHM supplement is manufactured by LVLUP. Health. This is one of the few that I’ve tried that has the desired impact. As mentioned above, I find the best results when combining this product with ZBiotics.
