For today’s edition of Dear Mark, I’m answering questions about a rather mysterious supplement called turkesterone. I’ve been getting questions about it lately, specifically regarding its promise for muscle building. Turkesterone has exploded in popularity, but there isn’t much solid information to go on. Compared to supplements with reams of human research, like whey isolate or […]
I’ve long espoused a fairly low-carb lifestyle for optimal health, but “low-carb” means different things to different people. For some, it means eating the fewest carbs possible, as in a strict carnivore diet or something more like carniflex, a meat-centric approach that strategically includes some plants. For others, it means a keto or Atkins-style diet […]
These macadamia nut cookie bars are our take on a classic blondie recipe. Blondies have more fun, right? Blondie bars are similar to brownies, but instead of cocoa they feature vanilla and, usually, brown sugar.

Studies about “heart-healthy whole grains” in the news. “AHA Approved” icons affixed to any concoction in the grocery store that contains a few grams of wheat—never mind all the sugar […]
.Sleep deprivation affects your brain, metabolism, immune system, and cardiovascular health, not to mention your day-to-day happiness and quality of life. Sleep should be one of our top health priorities. Yet all the research says the same thing: we are chronically sleep deprived as a society. The CDC reports that one-third of American adults […]
Research of the Week Keto and protein restriction are not quite the same. The reduction in heart disease associated with light to moderate drinking may be caused by other lifestyle factors that accompany drinking—not the alcohol itself. More riboflavin, longer telomeres. Divorce has a much more detrimental effect on children’s educational attainment than parental death. […]

While it’s easy enough to pop down to the grocery store and buy butter, yogurt, or kefir, it can be very rewarding—and easier than you think—to make your own products at home. Making staple dairy foods at home allows you to control what goes into them, control the process, and reconnect to the traditional way […]
