The Mechanism of How Stress Ages Your Body

The most-stressed women had immune cells that looked 10 years older than the rest.
— Epel et al., 2004

That’s not a metaphor.

That’s what scientists actually found when they looked inside the bodies of women under long-term stress.

Their cells weren’t just tired, they were physically aging faster.

How?

Through damage to the telomeres, the protective ends of your chromosomes, which shrink as you age.

Stress made them shrink faster.

And the most stressed women? Their telomeres looked a decade older than normal.

Pivotal Research On Creatine Finds Foundational Applications Way Beyond The Gym – Including Brain, Bone, And Healthy Aging

Creatine Scoop

There’s new science out on creatine monohydrate that reveals it’s way more than just a performance enhancer for athletes. In fact, it’s pretty amazing for a wide variety of applications throughout all stages of life. If you already take creatine, you know it’s great for increasing muscle strength, size and performance. But did you know it even helps maintain lean tissue strength without exercise? It’s also powerful when it comes to cognition and memory – including early-stage Alzheimer’s and sleep-deprived college students.

A Couple Of Relationship Management Tips

Some people have an inclination to help, often to their own detriment. This can come about because they, as some put it, “don’t know how to say no.”

Here are a couple of responses I heard recently that may be of assistance to help politely avoid making harmful commitments.

If someone wants you to do or agree with something that you have reservations about or perceive is not in your best interests, one handling is to respond with, “That doesn’t work for me.”

If someone pushes you to do something you do not agree with or understand, or want to think through the ramifications or need external advice on, something you can say that is not a straight up no is, “Let that sit with me for a while.”

CDC study shows there is no scientific rationale for vaccine mandates for kids attending school

Kids Displaying Bandaids

Not that science will change anything, but people who think they are “saving lives” with vaccine mandates for kids to attend school are both delusional and anti-science.

Here’s the CDC’s VSD study of kids and mortality:

Conclusion: Although there were few deaths, our results do not indicate a difference in risk of all-cause mortality among fully vaccinated versus undervaccinated children.

What this means

There is NO scientific justification for vaccine mandates for kids attending school.

Such mandates are unethical.

Every doctors recommending vaccine shots should tell parents “To be honest, it has no impact on mortality but it makes you feel like you are doing something to protect your kids and it helps to boost drug company profits.”

Vaccine mandates are based on misguided beliefs, not on facts or science.

I’m baffled why not a single member of Congress is pointing this out. – Steve Kirsch
