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...

While Merk pursues Emergency Use Authorization for their drug, Molnupiravir, we...

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.

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. In fact, exercise ca...
