In a time where we have more luxuries than ever before, with food delivered by the touch of a button, millions of products available for overnight delivery, and vending machines where you can buy a car, we have access to more now than ever before. On paper, we should be thriving, yet our happiness seems to be at an all-time low. This week, Aaron is joined by his wife, Mariah, a creative marketer, who breaks down some of the tactics used by companies to get consumers to buy more. We disc...
If you take a trip to the grocery store, you'll find that the most popular foods are the ones that come in a package (chips, cookies, cereals, etc.). With the wide use of industrially processed seed oils, these foods are very high in Omega-6s and essentially depleted of Omega-3s. This shift from whole foods to processed foods has created a sharp increase in chronic illness over the years. In today's episode, we talk about how Omega-3s are crucial for: Cognitive functioningMental he...
Upon entering your local gym, you are likely welcomed by an overly-enthusiastic employee along with a fridge full of energy drinks, promising to take your workout to the next level. But one pre-workout drink that doesn't get enough attention is beet juice (a.k.a beetroot juice). Yep, the nectar from that root vegetable that no one really enjoys. Some people refer to it as "nature's Viagra" due to the way it increases blood flow. Whether you're looking to increase performance in the gym or i...

In the race to end the pandemic, pharmaceutical companies have been working on therapeutics to reduce the risk of hospitalizations and death from COVID-19. One of those companies, Merck, just recently announced an oral antiviral drug that supposedly reduces the risk of hospitalization and death by approximately 50% compared to placebo patients. While Merk pursues Emergency Use Authorization for their drug, Molnupiravir, we provide a breakdown of the history of this drug, how it came to be, a...
The topics of nutrition and mental health independently get a lot of attention, but rarely do we hear about how those two are linked. We don't often talk about the food we eat impacts our mental health, despite the strong connection between the two. In today's episode, we dive into the world of Nutritional Psychiatry by looking at how diet directly impacts the brain.

When it comes to burning fat, most people depend primarily on a low-carb/ketogenic diet. And while diet certainly serves an important role in metabolic flexibility, one major factor in our ability to burn fat vs. carbs is exercise. Exercise plays a big part in how metabolically flexible we are. And although it may seem that the more we exercise, the more fat we'll burn, it's not that simple.
