Millennials Are Planning Remote Workdays Around Fitness
U.K. study finds Millennials are prioritizing fitness as a mental health outlet while working from home
A YouGov survey found that nearly one in five U.K. Millennials structure remote workdays around exercise, viewing fitness as an essential tool for reducing anxiety and supporting mental health. This trend is mirrored in the U.S., where stricter return-to-office policies are colliding with workers’ desire for flexibility and wellness. Even perks like corporate gyms may not offset the loss of autonomy, as employees increasingly expect fitness and mental health to be integrated into workplace culture.

Myths and Facts Regarding Low-Carbohydrate Diets
Nina Teicholz and others address common concerns about low-carb and ketogenic diets.
This paper addresses long-standing misconceptions about low-carbohydrate and ketogenic diets, arguing that they are safe, effective, and sustainable options for managing chronic diseases like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. The authors note that common concerns—such as keto flu, kidney damage, or increased cardiovascular risk—are either unsupported by rigorous evidence or can be managed easily. Clinical trials show that low-carb diets can improve weight, blood sugar, and cardiovascular risk factors, and in many cases lead to type 2 diabetes remission. The paper also addresses affordability, environmental concerns, and nutritional adequacy, concluding that low-carbohydrate diets are a viable, evidence-based choice for patients who prefer them.

Why Most Published Research Findings Are False
On the reliability of scientific claims
In this essay, John Ioannidis argues that most published research findings are likely false due to small study sizes, low statistical power, flexible study designs, selective reporting, and conflicts of interest. He shows mathematically that as research fields test more hypotheses with weak effects, the probability that any given “significant” finding is true decreases sharply. The essay highlights how bias, repeated testing, and the pressure to publish positive results distort the scientific record. Ultimately, Ioannidis calls for larger, better-powered studies, stricter standards, and a shift away from overreliance on p-values to improve the credibility of research.

United States Dietary Trends Since 1800
Lack of Association Between Saturated Fatty Acid Consumption and Non-communicable Diseases
This paper reviews U.S. dietary trends from 1800 to 2019 and finds that the biggest shifts have been a dramatic rise in processed and ultra-processed foods (sugar, refined flour, white rice, vegetable oils, ready-to-eat meals) and a decline in animal fats like butter, lard, and whole milk. Contrary to long-standing public health claims, the authors report that saturated fat intake from animal sources did not increase in parallel with obesity, diabetes, and heart disease—in fact, it declined as these conditions rose. Instead, the rise in non-communicable diseases more closely paralleled higher consumption of refined carbohydrates, sugars, industrial seed oils, and total calories, suggesting these may play a larger role in modern health problems than saturated fat.

How Sugar and Seed Oils Break Cellular Satiety
Clip from the MetFix Foundations Seminar
This clip from the MetFix Foundations Seminar uses a nightclub analogy to explain how diet drives insulin resistance and chronic disease. In the analogy, insulin is a promoter, encouraging nutrients into the club (the cell), while Ross the bouncer (ROS) regulates entry. Normally, the system works, but excess refined carbs and seed oils trick the bouncer into letting in too much, overcrowding the cell. This leads to leakage (free fatty acids spilling into the bloodstream), rigid cell walls, and eventually systemic insulin resistance.

A Calorie Deficit cannot EVER exist
Dr. Jason Fung explains why
A calorie deficit is a myth. Your body is not a simple calculator where you just subtract calories and lose fat. In this video, Dr. Jason Fung explains the science behind why focusing only on calories fails, and why hormones, insulin, and fat metabolism are the real keys to healthy and lasting weight loss.
