A new Cell Metabolism paper connects creatine to depression through the gut microbiome. The effect is real, but it shows up only in clinically diagnosed depressed patients who are already on antidepressants. The dose-creep crowd is about to ignore that distinction.
People on tirzepatide ask if brenipatide is the upgrade. People reading about brenipatide ask how it compares to the drug everyone is already on. Same class. Very different jobs. A head-to-head comparison.
Huberman talks about it, Bryan Johnson takes it, Goop sells it, Walgreens stocks it. After months of hearing the NAD+ pitch repeated, I still could not tell whether it was a breakthrough or snake oil. Two new human studies gave me the clearest answer I have read.

NASCAR champion Kyle Busch died after pneumonia progressed to sepsis. Most of us, including me, misunderstand what sepsis actually is. A clear explainer of the body’s dysregulated response, the TIME warning signs, and what to do.

My wife bought a pink tub of Viactiv calcium chews because that’s what you do for your bones. Then a new BMJ meta-analysis of 69 trials and 153,902 patients found calcium and vitamin D supplements don’t prevent fractures. What 50-something dads (and wives) should actually do.
I have been trying to figure out what “functional health” actually means for about a month, and the first thing I noticed is that the people selling it cannot agree on the term.

I have an avocado oil spray bottle. I do not know what tallow is. A 50-year-old dude reads the actual research on seed oils, dairy, and the latest dietary advice cycle — and reports what the evidence says you should put in your frying pan.
Lilly’s retatrutide just delivered bariatric-equivalent weight loss in Phase 3. The numbers, why the low dose is the real story, and the gray-market reality that got there first.
