Metabolic Flexibility

Metabolic Flexibility: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Improve It

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: Tributyrin and Short-Chain Fatty Acids

Postbiotics: Tributyrin and Short-Chain Fatty Acids

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.

Caloric Restriction Mimetics

Caloric Restriction Mimetics: A Research Overview

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.
