Navigating Influence

Let’s examine the continuum of bullshit around influencer-led nutrition media by breaking things down into three categories: Secret knowledge and the keys to the kingdom A friend once described hipsters to me as people who are nostalgic for a time that never existed. I’ve since expanded that idea to all matter of opinions on politics, economics, social order, and—of course—health. Influencers, beginning with Jean Jacques Rousseau, have long been telling us that we once held… Continue reading Navigating Influence

This leads to a should feeling. “I should be exercising more.” What happens next is important. Let’s… Continue reading Stay pre-loaded

Catching sick brain pumps

There’s a lot of important brain real estate out there. So, in the interest of understanding how exercise impacts it, I thought we might take a drive through the neighbourhood. We’ll make a day of it… Check out some houses. Maybe have a religious experience. It’s a wild place, the human brain! Like a lot of neighbourhoods, things start with infrastructure. That’s our focus today. We want clear, non-congested roadways, delivery of resources, and a… Continue reading Catching sick brain pumps
