SARMs Have Been Unfairly Demonized: The Case for Low-Dose Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators
Selective androgen receptor modulators have been almost universally condemned in the fitness and health space.

Exercise Is Not Meaningless for Weight Loss: Why the Calorie Math Misses the Point
The claim that exercise is almost meaningless for weight loss has become a mainstream talking point.

Why Lean Meat Might Be Slowly Harming You: The Methionine-Glycine Imbalance

The Psychological Trap of TRT: Why Starting Testosterone Is Easier Than Stopping
The most common argument for TRT is compelling in its simplicity: you already depend on protein shakes, sleep, and dozens of daily habits, so how is injecting testosterone any different?

Do Moderate Drinkers Really Live Longer? The Correlation That Fools Everyone
The scientific literature shows a consistent pattern: moderate alcohol consumption is positively correlated with longevity, while heavy drinking and complete abstinence are both associated with higher mortality. This finding has been replicated across multiple large-scale epidemiological studies. And it is almost certainly misleading. The Data Is Real The association exists and it is robust across […]
GH Peptide Amino Acid Supplements Are a Scam and Here Is the Science That Proves It
A growing trend in the supplement industry involves companies putting a few grams of amino acids into capsules and marketing them as powerful growth hormone releasing agents. Products like Ibuta 677 and GF-9 from Novex Biotech charge premium prices for what amounts to a negligible quantity of basic amino acids. Why They Claim It Works […]
That Intermittent Fasting Study Claiming a 91% Higher Death Risk Is Deeply Flawed
A study of over 20,000 adults reported that people following an 8-hour time-restricted eating schedule had a 91 percent higher risk of cardiovascular death. The headlines were predictable, and the reaction was immediate: people who never wanted to skip breakfast finally had their vindication. The problem is that this study is a textbook case of […]
