Can you chew gum while fasting? What it means for ketosis and autophagy

Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert

Jan 08, 2026 · 9 min read

Sugar-free gum is usually compatible with a ketosis-focused fast because one piece is typically a negligible caloric input (often kept under ~30 calories total during the fasting window), but any calorie- or sugar-containing gum can blunt a stricter fast aimed at autophagy, where the safest approach is staying truly calorie-free. The key is how many ...

Sea moss benefits for men: Fact checking the fertility superfood

Dr. Alexander Grant, MD, PhD: Urologist & Men's Health Advocate

Jan 06, 2026 · 9 min read

Sea moss does not have solid clinical evidence showing it directly boosts testosterone or male fertility, but its high iodine content can support thyroid hormone production (T4/T3), which indirectly affects energy and libido when a deficiency is present. Here’s what the data actually supports—and where the “fertility superfood” marketing goes beyond the science. “Sea moss ...

What is biohacking? The science of optimizing male biology

Dr. Susan Carter, MD: Endocrinologist & Longevity Expert

Jan 03, 2026 · 10 min read

Biohacking is a data-driven approach to improving physiology by measuring key biomarkers (such as glucose, cortisol, and testosterone), changing lifestyle or environmental inputs, and re-testing using a “measure, modify, measure” loop. Here’s how mechanisms like epigenetic regulation and hormesis can help counter modern stressors and extend healthspan. “Biohacking is often marketed as a shortcut, but ...

Peptides vs TRT: Which therapy optimizes male performance and longevity?

Dr. Alexander Grant, MD, PhD: Urologist & Men's Health Advocate

Dec 31, 2025 · 10 min read

TRT best optimizes male performance when a man has clinically low testosterone (levels decline about 1% per year after age 30) because it replaces missing androgen directly, while growth-hormone secretagogue peptides target recovery and tissue repair by stimulating the pituitary to pulse more of its own HGH—so neither is universally “better” for longevity. Here’s how ...

Joe Rogan’s 2025 stack: Onnit creatine 5g, what science says

Dr. Bruno Rodriguez, DPT, CSCS: Strength, Recovery, and Physical Therapy Expert

Dec 30, 2025 · 10 min read

Creatine monohydrate is the most consistently performance-boosting supplement in Rogan’s stack because it raises muscle phosphocreatine to regenerate ATP during high-intensity training, while most OTC “testosterone boosters” and trendy biohacks are largely hype without a true deficiency or prescription therapy. Rogan has also talked about keeping it simple with “5 grams” of creatine per day, ...
