Metabolic flexibility is an ability of our body to process different types of fuel we consume into energy. Associate with a whole host of benefits from increased energy levels to improved sleep and athletic performance, metabolic flexibility is one of the most foundational, farthest-reaching health metrics.

In this post, learn about the difference between metabolic flexibility vs. metabolic syndrome, why we need metabolic flexibility to thrive and how to undo the damage of metabolic syndrome and regain metabolic flexibility over time.

Postbiotics are a product of prebiotic and probiotic activity. Postbiotics help regulate the composition of the microbiome, which in turn affects our gut health.

One key postbiotic, butyrate, an SCFA supplies over 70% of the colon cells’ energy needs. Tributyrin is a prodrug of butyrate, meaning it is converted into active butyrate within the body.

In this post, learn about the mechanism of action of Tributyrin and what health benefits it is associated with. You will also find out about foods and supplements that help increase Tributyrin intake.

People in the Blue Zones often live to be over 100 while keeping their good health. But what is their secret?

There 5 recognized Blue Zone regions located in different parts of our planet. But despite the long distance between these populations, there are some diet and lifestyle habits they all have in common.

In this post, we look at 6 dietary habits of people from the Blue Zones that are linked to a longer, healthier life.

Prebiotics are fiber compounds that stimulate the growth and activity of beneficial gut microorganisms. Serving as food for gut bacteria, prebiotics promote microbiota diversity and a healthy microbiome.

In this post, we discuss the general mechanism of action of prebiotics and explain how benefits from prebiotic supplementation (whether with diet or supplements) can extend far beyond the digestive system.

We also explain the difference between prebiotics, probiotics and postbiotics, and how each plays its own part in supporting the health of a gut microbiome,

Caloric restriction is popular and one of the most well-researched approaches for wellbeing and longevity. But can you achieve caloric restriction without following a strict diet or cutting down portion sizes?

The answer is caloric restriction mimetics (CRM) - compounds that imitate calorie restriction effects without reducing long-term food intake.

In this post, we explain the mechanism of how calorie restriction can help lengthen the lifespan and what supplements offer compatible calorie restriction effects.

We also go over dietary and non-dietary interventions that are also being investigated as CRMs.
