Lean Mass Hyper-Responders: One-Year Data That Could Shift the Cholesterol Paradigm

The new Lean Mass Hyper-Responder (LMHR) study challenges everything we’ve been told about cholesterol. Despite LDL levels averaging 254 mg/dL, most metabolically healthy participants showed no plaque progression after one year. As someone who has followed a low-carb and animal-based lifestyle for nearly a decade, I know firsthand how unsettling “high cholesterol” numbers can be. Yet this study suggests context—insulin resistance, inflammation, existing plaque—may matter more than LDL alone. Could this finally mark the beginning of a shift in the old cholesterol paradigm?

The Hidden Dangers of a Low-Calorie Diet: Why Eating Less Isn’t the Answer

Your body requires around 1500 calories a day just to function, yet diet culture tells us to slash calories without considering nutrition. A low-calorie plan built on salads, fruit, and packaged snacks may look good on paper, but it starves your body of essential protein and fat. The result is exhaustion, stalled weight loss, and eventual regain. Calories matter, but what matters more is the quality of those calories. Stay informed, question what you’ve been taught, and focus on food that truly nourishes.

Constipation and Fiber: Why Adding More Makes Things Worse

We’ve been told for decades that fiber prevents constipation, but science tells a different story. A 2012 clinical trial showed that removing fiber actually resolved constipation in every single patient. Nutrition researcher Zoë Harcombe explains why fiber isn’t essential, how it can block nutrient absorption, and why history and cereal marketing—not science—gave fiber its false health halo. If you’ve ever felt worse after eating more fiber, you’re not alone. The fiber myth deserves to be questioned.

Food Addiction by Design: How the Industry Hooks Us on Processed Snacks

Food addiction is no accident. Processed snacks and ultra-processed foods are engineered to be addictive, with sugar, fat, and salt blended to hit the “bliss point” that keeps you craving more. From chips and cookies to ice cream and sweetened cereals, these hyperpalatable foods are designed for profit, not health. Misleading labels and tiny serving sizes hide the truth: they drive obesity, diabetes, and other metabolic diseases while offering zero real nutrition. Learn how to spot the tricks, break free from sugar and fat addiction, and take back control of your health.

Hydration on Low-Carb: Why Salt Matters More Than a Gallon of Water

Most people think hydration is just about drinking more water — but on a low-carb or carnivore diet, that advice can backfire. True hydration depends on water and minerals, especially sodium. Without enough salt, plain water can leave you fatigued, dizzy, or crampy. Low-carb experts like Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Paul Mason, and Dr. Boz agree: sodium is essential, not dangerous. Learn why the old “cut salt and drink more” rule is outdated, and discover how to hydrate smarter with practical, science-backed strategies.

Learn how metabolic flexibility works, why fat is the body’s sustainable energy source, and how lowering carbs can restore balance, improve health, and reduce the risk of obesity and metabolic disease.

Why are we forcing carbs and sugar on babies when their brains need fat and protein to grow? A new trend of raising “carnivore kids” challenges outdated nutrition advice by focusing on nutrient-dense first foods like eggs, meat, and butter. As parents, we must reexamine what we’re feeding our children if we want to give them the best chance to thrive.
