Discovering that Hair Greying is Reversible
How Mitochondria May Be Involved in Stress-Induced Hair Greying
In this article, Martin Picard explores research showing that hair greying may be more dynamic and reversible than previously believed. By analyzing individual hairs from healthy volunteers, researchers found that some hairs transitioned from dark to grey and then back to their original color within a single growth cycle. These changes often corresponded with periods of increased and decreased psychological stress, suggesting that life events can leave measurable biological signatures in hair follicles.

Diet or Drugs, Calories or Carbohydrates?
Longevity medicine comes for your dog. Beneath the headlines, the carbohydrate-insulin model is now hiding in plain sight.
In this essay, Gary Taubes uses a new longevity drug for dogs to explore how mainstream aging research is increasingly converging on ideas long associated with the carbohydrate-insulin model of metabolic disease. The drug targets insulin and IGF-1 signaling pathways tied to aging and lifespan regulation. So if suppressing these pathways extends life, what role does diet play in driving these regulators in the first place?

Sami Inkinen on Reversing Metabolic Disease
Virta Health founder explains how nutrition, metabolic health, and behavior change may reverse type 2 diabetes at scale
On this episode of The Tim Ferriss Show, Sami Inkinen discusses the modern metabolic health crisis and why conditions like obesity, insulin resistance, fatty liver disease, and type 2 diabetes may be far more reversible than conventional medicine has long assumed. Inkinen describes his own shock at discovering he was prediabetic despite being an elite endurance athlete eating the standard high-carbohydrate sports diet, which led him to question the assumption that metabolic disease is simply a failure of willpower.

Q&A with Coach Glassman
Common questions from trainers and attendees
At FilFest 2010 in Miami, Coach Glassman fielded questions from the audience on a wide range of topics related to coaching and training. In his candid responses, he emphasizes that trainers should demonstrate what effective training looks like rather than relying on technical explanations or terminology. He also discusses the importance of overhead work, the reasoning behind classifying certain movements as functional, and how coaches can better communicate their methods through practice rather than theory.

Ketosis: The default human metabolic phenotype
A primer on how modern diets disrupted human metabolic flexibility
For most of human history, humans lived in a state of metabolic flexibility, naturally shifting between glucose and ketones depending on food availability. This primer explores the evolutionary, historical, and scientific case for ketosis as a normal human metabolic state rather than a modern dietary trend. Tracing the work of figures such as William Banting, Robert Atkins, Stephen Phinney, Jeff Volek, and others, the article explains how the widespread abandonment of fat-based metabolism in favor of constant carbohydrate intake coincided with the rise of obesity, diabetes, and chronic metabolic disease. It also examines how modern dietary guidelines, industry influence, and flawed nutrition science contributed to the demonization of dietary fat and ketosis despite growing evidence supporting carbohydrate restriction as a powerful tool for improving metabolic health.

This 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis examined 25 human studies on insulin’s role in skeletal muscle metabolism. The researchers found that insulin alone did not significantly increase muscle protein synthesis in most conditions. Instead, insulin’s clearest and most consistent effect was reducing muscle protein
