Hormesis – The Concept
Hypoxic or hyperoxic training, that is varying the amount of oxygen breathed in under various levels of physical activity, triggers various levels of metabolic adaptations

Metabolism
Beyond BMI: Insulin Resistance
The HOMA test uses measurements of fasting insulin and blood sugar levels to estimate insulin resistance
Fix Dry Skin
Exposure to certain wavelengths of light has been shown to improve skin hydration and reduce inflammation
BFR Training
BFR training is also thought to enhance post-exercise muscle adaptations, such as increased muscle protein synthesis
Red Light Therapy
Flashing red light in the eyes early in the day for 2-3 minutes can offset some of the degeneration by improving mitochondrial function in the photo receptors
Cannabis & Cannabinoids
THC is mainly metabolized to 11-hydroxy-THC which is more potent than THC itself and is responsible for many of the effects of cannabis
Insulin Sensitivity Management: Berberine
AMPK and its agonist, berberine, can combat some underlying events of neurodegeneration
Organ Pathologies: Pancreas, Liver, Kidney & Gallbladder
The PNPLA3 gene plays a role in the metabolism of fats and has been associated with an increased risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Chron’s to Celiac: All About the GI Tract
Celiac disease causes damage of the small intestine, which leads to chronic inflammation
Obesity & Obesogens
Environmental obesogens are chemicals that can disrupt the normal development and function of the endocrine system
