Ketones Improve Mitochondrial Function in Skeletal Muscle
β-Hydroxybutyrate reduced oxidative stress, promoted healthier mitochondrial dynamics, and improved muscle cell survival.
This study examined how β-hydroxybutyrate (β-HB), the primary ketone body produced during ketosis, affects skeletal muscle mitochondria. In both cultured muscle cells and rats fed a ketogenic diet, β-HB increased mitochondrial respiration while reducing the production of reactive oxygen species (H₂O₂), suggesting that mitochondria were producing energy more efficiently with less oxidative stress. Muscle cells exposed to β-HB also showed greater viability, indicating a protective effect beyond simply serving as an alternative fuel.

Changing Medical Practice, Always Difficult
Many of medicine's biggest advances were dismissed long before they were accepted.
Dr. Malcolm Kendrick examines why changing medical practice is often so difficult, even when new evidence challenges long-standing beliefs. Through historical examples, he shows how medical progress can be slowed by resistance from institutions, experts, and established systems.

John and Grace Showalter's Blueprint for Faster Dementia Diagnosis
Dr. John Showalter and Grace Showalter, RN, explain how their dementia-focused primary care clinic is helping patients receive answers in days instead of months. By combining digital cognitive testing, blood-based biomarkers, and comprehensive evaluations in a single visit, they can diagnose Alzheimer's or identify other causes of cognitive decline far more quickly than the traditional referral process. Their approach also emphasizes prevention, family support, and practical planning alongside medical care.

The Soft Science of Dietary Fat
How uncertain evidence became decades of low-fat dietary advice
In this landmark Science article from 2001, Gary Taubes traces the history of the low-fat diet hypothesis, arguing that public health recommendations became accepted long before the evidence was conclusive. He reviews decades of research and concludes that, while lowering cholesterol in high-risk individuals can reduce cardiovascular events, the evidence that low-fat diets prolong life or reduce heart disease in the general population has remained surprisingly weak and inconsistent. He also explores how politics, media coverage, and scientific consensus shaped dietary guidelines despite ongoing disagreement among researchers.

Can Intermittent Fasting Reduce Cancer Risk?
Review suggests intermittent energy restriction may improve cancer-related biomarkers
This review examines evidence from animal and human studies on whether intermittent energy restriction (IER) and intermittent fasting (IF) can reduce cancer risk or slow tumor development. In rodent models, many—but not all—studies found that intermittent restriction reduced the development of certain tumors, particularly mammary tumors. The benefits were generally greatest when fasting protocols substantially lowered overall calorie intake and suppressed insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), though results varied depending on the tumor type and fasting regimen.

The Effects of Vigorous Intensity Exercise in the Third Trimester of Pregnancy
Systematic review finds that vigorous exercise appears safe for most healthy pregnancies
This systematic review and meta-analysis examined 15 studies involving more than 32,000 pregnancies to evaluate whether vigorous exercise during the third trimester affects maternal or infant outcomes. The researchers found no evidence that vigorous exercise increased the risk of low birth weight, babies being small for gestational age, or excessive maternal weight gain. Women who exercised vigorously also experienced a slightly longer average gestation and a modest reduction in the risk of preterm birth.

If Cancer Loves Sugar, Why Do We Keep Feeding It?
The Warburg effect, sugar, and the disconnect between cancer biology and dietary advice.
An animated look at the Warburg effect—the observation that cancer cells consume glucose at exceptionally high rates, a principle used in PET imaging. It also examines research on sugar, insulin, fasting, and cancer metabolism, and why dietary strategies receive relatively little emphasis in conventional cancer care despite growing interest in metabolic therapies.

Fundamentals, Virtuosity and Mastery
Mastery comes from performing the basics exceptionally well
Coach Glassman uses gymnastics to illustrate the difference between simply avoiding mistakes and achieving true mastery. While risk and originality can make a performance more impressive, virtuosity—"performing the common uncommonly well"—is what distinguishes the very best. Beginners are often too eager to skip the fundamentals in pursuit of more advanced skills, a mistake that ultimately slows progress.
