A Metabolic Approach to Bladder Cancer
Why Dr. Michael Eades rejected the standard treatment plan after his diagnosis.
In this two-part series from The Arrow (Part 1, Part 2), Dr. Michael Eades recounts his diagnosis with muscle-invasive bladder cancer in late 2024. What began as mild urinary symptoms quickly escalated into a diagnosis of extensive bladder cancer that had obstructed urine flow from his kidneys. Multiple specialists recommended the standard treatment of chemotherapy followed by bladder removal, a life-altering surgery that would permanently change how he lived. Despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, scans showed the cancer remained confined to the bladder, giving him time to carefully consider his options.

Exercise improved colon cancer survival
A large international trial found that a structured exercise program after chemotherapy significantly reduced cancer recurrence and improved long-term survival in colon cancer patients.
A major international trial involving 889 colon cancer patients found that a structured exercise program after chemotherapy led to better long-term outcomes. Five years after treatment, 80% of patients in the exercise group remained cancer-free compared to 74% of those who received only standard healthy-lifestyle advice.

Belief In Improvement
The philosophy behind helping people improve themselves
Backstage at the 2011 CrossFit Games, Coach Glassman spoke with Fast Company about the philosophy behind his approach to training. At its core, he explains, is a belief in the improvability of people—that individuals can continually make themselves better and define for themselves what “better” means. Through consistent exercise, sound nutrition, and healthier lifestyle choices, nearly every measure of well-being can be improved.

The French Fry Question & Fatty Liver Disease
Does it make a difference if your French fries are boiled in seed oils or beef tallow?
In this article, Nick Jikomes examines whether the type of fat used to fry foods influences metabolic health. He argues that French fries cooked in seed oils and those cooked in beef tallow expose consumers to very different mixtures of compounds because polyunsaturated fats are more susceptible to oxidation during cooking. When heated, seed oils can generate oxidation products such as aldehydes and other reactive compounds that are absorbed into the food, whereas saturated fats such as beef tallow are more resistant to oxidative damage.

Exercise-Induced Oxidative Stress: Friend or Foe?
Review argues reactive oxygen species are essential signals for exercise adaptation, mitochondrial health, and metabolic resilience
For decades, reactive oxygen species (ROS) were viewed primarily as harmful byproducts of exercise that damaged tissues and contributed to fatigue and aging. This new review presents the relationship as far more nuanced. While excessive oxidative stress can impair muscle function, the authors conclude that moderate increases in ROS are also essential signaling molecules that help drive many of the beneficial adaptations associated with exercise.

What About Recovery?
Coach Glassman argues that most athletes are limited more by insufficient training intensity than by inadequate recovery
In this 2005 essay, Coach Glassman examines the growing emphasis on recovery modalities such as massage, ice baths, stretching, chiropractic treatment, and other forms of "pampering." Coach notes that throughout his career, the most effective training methods consistently revealed themselves through the performance of elite athletes. Yet he had never observed a group of top performers whose success could be attributed primarily to advanced recovery techniques.
