Semaglutide Fails in Alzheimer’s Trial — A New Direction Emerges
Why GLP-1 drugs fell short and why ketogenic therapy may hold promise.
A major randomized trial from Novo Nordisk found that semaglutide did not slow cognitive decline in early Alzheimer’s disease, contradicting earlier observational studies that hinted at potential benefit. The result underscores that medication-driven metabolic improvements alone may be insufficient once neurodegeneration is underway.

Perfect Technique
Injury risk in the gym is far lower than in common sports like basketball, rugby, or soccer
In this 2009 discussion, Greg Glassman argues that fears about imperfect technique white training functional movements at high-intensity are exaggerated, noting that the injury risk in the gym is far lower than in common sports like basketball, rugby, or soccer—activities we widely accept as safe enough because their benefits outweigh their risks. While he values perfect technique and continual improvement, he emphasizes that small deviations are neither catastrophic nor a barrier to getting stronger; people naturally self-correct over time, especially as they reach their limits. Coaching accelerates this process, but perfection isn’t required for progress, safety, or a successful affiliate.

Stronger Through Pregnancy
The Case for Staying Active at Every Fitness Level
Kristi Storoschuk addresses long-standing fears about exercising while pregnant and highlights new research showing that movement—including vigorous training and resistance work—is not only safe but beneficial for most healthy women. Drawing on updated prenatal guidelines and recent studies on heavy lifting and high-intensity exercise, she shows how outdated cautionary advice has led to unnecessary deconditioning and anxiety. Instead, the evidence supports a more empowering approach: staying active at any fitness level can reduce pregnancy complications, support mental and physical health, and improve postpartum recovery, provided women monitor symptoms and follow appropriate medical guidance.

Mouse study implicates soybean oil in obesity risk
P2-HNF4α Alters Linoleic Acid Metabolism and Mitigates Soybean Oil-Induced Obesity: Role for Oxylipins
Researchers found that mice genetically engineered to express a variant of the liver protein HNF4α (called “P2-HNF4α”) are protected from obesity and fatty-liver disease even when fed a diet high in soybean oil. In contrast, normal (“wild-type”) mice on the same soybean-oil diet gained substantial weight and developed liver fat. The protective effect appears to arise from the variant HNF4α’s ability to alter how the body metabolizes the abundant omega-6 fatty acid Linoleic acid (LA), decreasing the formation of certain LA-derived metabolites (oxylipins) that are associated with fat accumulation, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction.

Restoring the Body’s Energy to Heal from Within
Dr. Mark Hyman and Columbia researcher Dr. Martin Picard explore why energy is the “missing dimension” of medicine, explaining how mitochondrial health shapes everything from mood and cognition to aging and resilience. They discuss how energy can feel “off” even when labs look normal, how mitochondria act as communication hubs producing signals like mitokines, and why stress drains cellular capacity while rest enables adaptation and repair. Key ideas such as the Energy Resistance Principle, the biomarker GDF-15, and the concept of “Mitoception” help reframe fatigue, burnout, and
