It Is Time to Bust the Myth of Physical Inactivity and Obesity
You Cannot Outrun a Bad Diet
In this 2015 editorial, Aseem Malhotra, Tim Noakes, and Stephen Phinney argue that the obesity and metabolic disease epidemics are driven primarily by poor diet rather than lack of exercise. While physical activity provides important health benefits, they authors emphasize that it has little impact on weight loss and that rising obesity rates are more closely tied to increased consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates. They highlight evidence linking excess sugar intake to dramatically higher rates of type 2 diabetes independent of body weight or activity level, and note that carbohydrate restriction can effectively improve markers of metabolic syndrome and diabetes. The article also rejects the long-standing emphasis on carbohydrate loading in sport, citing research showing that athletes can adapt to using fat as a primary fuel during exercise. The authors conclude that food industry marketing—particularly efforts linking sugary products to sport and exercise—has distorted public health messaging and distracted from the central role of diet quality in metabolic health.

"But Keto Goes Against Everything I've Been Taught!"
Dr. Eric Westman on keto, nutrition education, and rethinking how we teach food
In this talk, Eric Westman presents on his decades of clinical experience treating obesity and diabetes with low-carbohydrate diets, arguing that nutrition education often overlooks a basic biological reality: the human body is primarily composed of water, protein, and fat, while carbohydrates function mainly as an optional fuel source rather than a structural necessity. Using simple metaphors and classroom demonstrations, he reframes weight management around fuel selection rather than calorie counting, explaining that excess carbohydrate is readily converted to body fat while restricting carbohydrates allows the body to mobilize stored fat for energy. Westman emphasizes practical, patient-friendly teaching—prioritizing protein, using fat as a primary fuel, and treating carbohydrates as conditional energy—while also critiquing how modern dietary guidelines and cultural norms have drifted away from earlier low-carbohydrate traditions. With clear, biologically grounded nutrition education, patients better understand metabolism and adopt sustainable strategies for fat loss and metabolic health.

Reducing the mitochondrial oxidative burden alleviates lipid-induced muscle insulin resistance
Human study linking mitochondrial oxidative stress to skeletal-muscle insulin resistance
This study examined whether stress inside the mitochondria contributes to insulin resistance in skeletal muscle. Researchers gave healthy participants a lipid infusion to mimic the high levels of circulating fat that are known to impair insulin sensitivity. When participants were also given a compound (MitoQ) that reduces oxidative stress in mitochondria, their muscles were better able to take up glucose in response to insulin.

The Truth About Salt
What they don’t tell us about sodium, blood pressure, and choosing healthier sources
In this article, A Midwestern Doctor examines the long-standing medical advice to restrict dietary salt, arguing that the case against sodium is often overstated. The modern “war on salt” largely began with the 1977 U.S. dietary guidelines, which promoted sodium restriction despite limited evidence linking typical salt intake to major health risks for most people.

Technique Part 2
How technique and intensity interact—and how to raise the threshold where form breaks down
In this 2008 Q&A, Coach Glassman deepens the discussion on technique by examining its relationship to intensity, power, and performance. While some imperfection is acceptable—even top performers are rarely flawless. Adding load or speed does not automatically correct poor mechanics. Instead, athletes should establish clean technique at lower intensity, then progressively increase the demand, pushing to the point where form begins to falter and making corrections there. This “threshold training” steadily raises the level of intensity an athlete can sustain without technical

A BMJ study used a machine learning model to screen 2.6 million cancer research papers published between 1999 and 2024 for textual similarities to known fraudulent “paper mill” publications. The model flagged about 9.9% of papers as suspicious, with the number rising sharply over time and appearing even in high-impact journals. The findings suggest fa
