Do you have a health, wellness, training or diet and nutrition-related question? If yes, now you can ask me directly here on my website. For the longest time I’ve been getting questions sent to me via the Contact form on my website. There is nothing wrong with this – always glad if I could help…
I came across this interesting video on Zurich Minds – it’s about social motivation (external stimuli) and how it affects internal regulatory variables in humans. More precisely the talks is about the ancestrally-traceable relationship between what scientists call Welfare Trade-off Ratio (how we expect others to treat us) and anger. The talk was given by…
Yesterday I discovered and watched (several times) two Youtube videos – each very inspiring in its own right. The first video: ‘Frank Medrano – Superhuman Bodyweight Workout Domination’.

It’s a thorough systemic review of possibly all that we know about Intermittent fasting and how it works in animals and, to a lesser degree, in men (that’s understandable – lab animals live two years, humans quite a bit…
I mentioned elsewhere on the website that I’m a practitioner of logic and I am attracted to logic in basically all its forms (there are way too many illogical things and people on this planet – have enough of that already). I also mentioned that I am an amateur of one type of logic in…
