  • “It’s not what we don’t know that gets us into trouble. It’s what we know that ain’t so”. Will RogersWe believe the explosion of life science research from many disciplines had catapulted ahead of our capacity to process, integrate, understand, and apply. We are interested in translating all that is out there as news to use. A fundamentally different understanding of human biology has emerged. The implications from the perspective of self-care are profound. We are rapidly moving away from the debate of nature versus nurture toward an understanding that life emerges from a dynamic landscape of nature via nurture. We are passionate about the science. We are passionate about the implications. We believe in the capacity and possibility made possible by being alive here and now! We are beautifully designed to be on the African Savannah, living fully integrated with our planet, and in the context of social relationship. Our modern environment is not well designed to promote human health and the capacity to thrive. Many are struggling to maintain balance and traction in lives that often feel overwhelming and frightening.The challenge is to better leverage our superb ancestral adaptation for a different and radically challenging modern environment. Everything that touches us today has the potential be be very familiar or totally foreign. The less aware one is of the day to day distance between what we are biologically , as a species, “familiar with” and what we actually encounter, the fewer the possibilities for more effective alignment. Leaving one’s health trajectory to chance in our modern environment is a very risky proposition. We are interested in holding the science to the light with an open and humbled mindset. Like you, We are intrepid explorers interested in how we emerge in the midst of our relationship with the environmental inputs of our lives…how we eat, how we move, how we sleep, how we navigate the mind fields of conflict in our lives, how socially connected we are, how we manage the burden of environmental toxins in our lives, how much meaning we cultivate in our work, love, play and how we interpret and respond to stress in our lives. We will drill deep, share all that my experiences has taught and do all that we can to create value for you as you seek to find your health edge. We always welcome your feedback.Mark and John

  • Insulin Resistance: The Primary Driver of Modern Disease
    2024/01/04

    In this Health Edge recording, Mark describes a model of integrative health-lifestyle medicine that is distinctly different from current allopathic disease-based models. He examines the metabolic perfect storm of insulin resistance and inflammation as passports to accelerated aging, chronic complex disease risk and poor quality of life or healthspan.

  • Statin Use, LDL Reduction and the Magnitude of Cardiovascular Benefit
    2023/12/27

    In this episode of the Health Edge I review a recent meta-analysis examining the magnitude of cardiovascular benefit from taking statins for elevated LDL in both primary and secondary prevention.

    JAMA Intern Med. 2022;182(5):474-481. doi:10.1001/jamainternmed.2022.0134 Published online March 14, 2022.

  • Exploring the Health Benefits of Saturated Fats and Full-Fat Dairy
    2023/12/05

    Do you ever feel like everything you've been told about healthy eating seems to be teetering on the edge of being overturned? Welcome to a mind-bending exploration where we question the status quo, particularly the demonization of full fat dairy and saturated fats. I'm diving deep into a groundbreaking study suggesting that pentadecanoic acid, a saturated fat found in full-fat dairy could actually promote health and contribute to our longevity. We challenge the shortcomings in the traditional medical model and its ability to promote health, and ponder the rapid expansion of knowledge in the information age.

    Our journey continues as we venture into another exciting discussion on the potential essential role that pentadecanoic acid plays in our bodies. A compelling study indicates that a deficiency of this saturated fat could contribute to chronic diseases. We're not trying to persuade you to change your dietary habits overnight, but rather, we invite you to question, learn, and make informed decisions about your health. As we wrap up, we highlight the importance of natural, whole foods in our diet and delve into how our modern lifestyle could be impacting our health. So, are you ready to embark on this journey into the world of saturated fats, dairy, and optimal health?
