Think your lungs are fine just because you don’t smoke?

That’s what I used to think too—until I saw the research.

🫁 This video is all about why lung health matters for everyone—not just smokers—and how your diaphragm might be the most underrated muscle in your body.

📍 In this video, you’ll learn:

Why lung strength is a bigger deal than most people realize
How your diaphragm influences oxygen delivery
A simple at-home breathing exercise that actually works

High LDL cholesterol doesn’t always mean the same thing. Sometimes the gates that clear cholesterol are broken (often genetic or hormonal), other times the delivery system is faulty — that’s insulin resistance. In this video, I break down the difference so you can understand what’s really driving your cholesterol numbers.

High Cholesterol Explained: Gates vs. Delivery Problems
When diet and exercise don’t fix cholesterol, something else might be at play… your genes.

In this video, I unpack familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) — one of the most common inherited conditions. FH makes LDL cholesterol build up in the blood because the liver’s LDL receptors (the “loading docks”) don’t work properly. Sometimes the doors are broken, sometimes they’re missing, and sometimes an over-eager enzyme called PCSK9 scraps them altogether.

👉 If your cholesterol has stayed stubbornly high despite your best efforts, this short will help you understand why.

💡 Key takeaway: If LDL is high because of a genetic glitch, it really does matter.

How HDL Does the Dirty Work | Better Body Chemistry

High LDL gets all the bad press — but did you know HDL is the real cleanup crew in your bloodstream? 🚛✨  And low HDL is actually the REAL problem when you are insulin resistant.    In fact, low HDL is one of the criteria for the condition, not high LDL. 

In this short, I’ll show you (in plain English) how HDL swoops in when LDL particles get damaged, and why these “hazardous waste trucks” are critical for your health.

🕒 How Do Gut Bacteria Tell Time?
Every late-night snack isn’t just a little indulgence… it’s confusing a TRILLION tiny timekeepers in your gut. And when they lose track of time, you risk weight gain, insulin resistance, and disrupted metabolism.

In this short, I’ll walk you through fascinating research from the Weizmann Institute showing how gut microbes follow daily schedules — and how irregular meal timing can throw them off, with real consequences for your waistline and health.

✅ Learn why your gut bacteria rely on meal timing (not sunlight or temperature) to stay in rhythm.
✅ Discover what happens when you eat at odd hours — and how this can literally reprogram your microbiome.
✅ See why “eating on schedule” is one of the simplest hacks to protect your metabolism.

This is just one piece of the bigger circadian rhythm puzzle. If you want to unlock more science-backed secrets for a healthier body, you’re in the right place.

Your breakfast could be the best skincare routine you’ve never tried. 🥓🍳

In this video, we dive into the surprising science of how dietary fat — the kind in bacon, eggs, butter, and more — doesn’t just fuel your body… it literally builds your skin.

You’ll learn:
✅ How fat travels from your plate to your skin cells
✅ Why your skin needs cholesterol, ceramides, and fatty acids
✅ What happens to your skin when you go on a diet
✅ The shocking organ that grabs the most fat (hint: it’s not your tummy)

This isn’t a beauty tip — it’s biology.
If you want stronger, healthier skin from the inside out, you need to know this story.

How Fat Feeds Your Skin — The Science of Eating for Skin Health
Did you know your blood pressure pulses to the rhythm of the sun?
This isn’t sci-fi. It’s geomagnetic biology — and it’s real.

Every day, the sun blasts charged particles toward Earth, subtly rocking our planet’s magnetic field.  A new study found that your blood pressure dances to this magnetic beat — with rhythms that echo the sun’s activity.

🌞 Women seem especially tuned in to this cosmic DJ…
🧲 And there’s not much we can do to escape the groove.

In this  short, I explain the science behind the Ap index, geomagnetic storms, and what they might be doing to your body — no rocket ship required.

Why do some people need 5x more vitamin D than others?
Two people. Same dose. One improves. The other barely budges.
Turns out, it’s not just about sunshine or supplements… it’s about what your body does with the vitamin D once it’s in there.

And if you’re carrying more fat on the inside — even at a “normal” weight — that might be part of the problem.

I share stories like this every week — unpacking what’s really going on in your body, and how to work with your biology instead of against it.

Why Your Vitamin D Levels Stay Low (Even When You Supplement)
Statin side effects like muscle pain and fatigue are surprisingly common. But what if there was a way to dial them down — without switching meds or quitting altogether? 🤔

In this short, we explore the unexpected relationship between vitamin D and cholesterol, and how it might be the key to a smoother statin experience.
