The Science of Longevity: What Can Extend Your Life?

The Science of Ripple Effects: 4 Foundations for a Longer, Healthier Life

We often view ageing as a ticking clock—an inevitable, unchangeable countdown dictated by our DNA. But modern longevity research is completely flipping this script. Scientists now know that our genetics only account for roughly 20% of how we age.

The remaining 80%? It comes down to the environment we create and the daily choices we make.

Every habit you form creates a ripple effect throughout your biology. By understanding the core factors of healthy ageing, you can take control of your biological clock and extend not just your lifespan (how long you live), but your healthspan (how long you live free from chronic disease).

We have been lied to… the Dietary Guidelines were bought…

#isupportgary is a platform set up to question the ‘silencing’ of Dr. Gary Fettke, a senior Orthopaedic Surgeon in Tasmania, following his two-and-a-half-year investigation by the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA) for talking about nutrition.

(EDIT;- Gary has been cleared of all trumped up charges by the National AHPRA medical board. After 4 1/2 years, we couldn’t be more relieved October 3, 2018)

Honestly, if it hadn’t been for the prolonged investigation by AHPRA, and their complete dismissal of the evidence Gary continually brought to light, we may never have considered ‘why’ the science he was presenting on the health benefits of Low Carbohydrate Healthy Fat principles (LCHF) was being so religiously defended.

Reversing Insulin Resistance… with Intermittent Fasting

Reverse Insulin Resistance with Intermittent Fasting
  • Intermittent fasting is the best insulin resistance diet to help your cells respond to insulin.
  • When your body gets the signal that you’ve eaten, beta cells in your pancreas produce insulin, a hormone that tells your cells to absorb glucose to use as fuel.
  • Your cells respond by receiving the glucose from your bloodstream. This gives you the energy you need, and you don’t pack on body fat. But sometimes, this communication gets thrown off.
  • Insulin resistance is when insulin tells your cells that fuel is coming, but they don’t open up to receive glucose. So, sugar stays in the bloodstream, and after a while your body stores it as fat.
  • Read on to find out how intermittent fasting can fix insulin resistance. Continue reading “Reversing Insulin Resistance… with Intermittent Fasting”
