Deep insights. Simply put
Carefully curated. Deeply researched. Free of ads and shackles.
There are brilliant content producers with the finger on the pulse. So we won’t regurgitate the news just to keep up with the crowd, except if the news needs an urgent second opinion. And this is not a rarity. We take our time to see through commercial biases, and noodle on the nuances behind the headlines. Always in an easily digestible form. An individual human may be pear-shaped but is never bell-shaped - meaning, statistical evidence for whole populations may not fit well with you if you’re an edge case or working in extremes. Like many of our patients. While on the programme or alumni membership we’ll take the topics you ask us about and tailor what it means to those like you. And while we use AI tools to help us search and type faster, rest assured, we don’t rely on anyone except the experts.

Sleep consistency vs duration: the underdog wins.
The emerging science of sleep has long emphasized the importance of sleep duration, typically recommending seven to nine hours per night for optimal health. However, the latest study published a few weeks ago in the journal Sleep offers a game-changing perspective. This isn't about clocking in more hours under the covers; it's about the rhythm and regularity of your sleep pattern.
Reduce hunger, boost mood and improve sleep with one simple tool: Time.
A study presented this week at the European Nutrition Conference by King’s Colege London highighted a study that sheds new light on the potential benefits of extending our morning fast that little bit further. The study, which is the largest of its kind outside of a clinical setting, has provided insightful findings on the benefits of eating within a 10-hour window and fasting for the remaining 14 hours. The results were presented at the European Nutrition Conference and drew upon data from users of the ZOE Health app.
Drop your blood glucose and improve your mood: A Simple Change to Combat the Risks of Prolonged Sitting
In the quest to mitigate the health risks associated with prolonged sitting, a recent study sheds light on the benefits of breaking up sedentary time with short, light-intensity walking breaks. It is already well reported that increased time sitting, above 6 to 8 hours per day of total sitting time and 3 to 4 hours per day of TV viewing time, are associated with greater risks of all-cause and cardiovascular deaths.
How to put on muscle: Why less might be more.
Blood flow restriction (BFR) training is a relatively new training method, but it has quickly gained popularity among athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike. This is because BFR has been shown to be very effective at increasing muscle strength and size, even when using light weights.
The Circadian Advantage: How to Make Smarter Investment Decisions with Your Body Clock
Circadian rhythms are our natural sleep-wake cycles, our body clock. They play a significant role in every cell in our body but also in our cognitive function. Within waking hours, an individual reaches peak performance during their circadian “acrophase”, and their performance drops during their “circadian nadir”. The timing of this window of optimal alertness classifies individuals as either a morning lark or night owl chronotype. Larks experience peak cognitive performance in the morning and the opposite is true of owls, who perform better in the evening. Research has shown that circadian rhythms can thus impact investment decision-making.
Freeze your eggs or freeze your career?
Delaying building relationships and families is a common side effect when getting a big dose of cash and building a business. Younger female entrepreneurs have to think about this all the time. Investors should be more aware of this supra-added issue over the ‘let’s do it later’ family planning trend. Is the empowering option to freeze also promoting risky delays while making the IVF industry thrive.
VILPA: The Secret to a Longer Life Could Be in Your Daily Routine
New research finds that just three to four one-minute bursts of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA) each day is associated with large reductions in the risk of premature death, particularly from cardiovascular disease.
