Stuff I’ve learned reading “Why Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers” by Robert Sapolsky. I really wanted to explain how high blood pressure is damaging the body. But, how people used to inject testicle extracts of animals had to be included. 😳

Stanford neuroscientist Robert Sapolsky has a book “Determined: A Science of Life Without Free Will,” which presents a case for there being no free will. I’ve been listening to him a lot lately. Some of what he says reminds me of what these other philosophers have said. I’ll share research that Sapolsky has pointed out. I’ll get off track and give you fun tangential information 😉 Really, though,...

Another short one. The original kilogram weighs less than a kilogram! What does that have to do with our food? Freshness violations. Household tips.

Another short one. I never realized how cute babies could be! As a man we want kids not babies. We don’t play with baby dolls. So, how pleasantly surprised I’ve been! 😌

All these podcasts are truths to life as I've learned. Im really excited to have figured this out about our lymphatics system. Shorter than usual. Just as much knowledge though. Listen, learn, love it!

A rough introduction to yoga. Why I got started. Various benefits backed by science. Why you should start today! 🧘‍♂️

My thoughts right before my wife goes into the hospital for labor induction! Anyone who is going to be a part of a birth, listen to this Wong man’s experience, thoughts and wisdom 🙃

Why do we eat the foods we eat? How does our gut micro biome influence our eating behaviors? I’ll share how I developed a sweet tooth and how I minimize cravings.
