  This is Paul Hynek. Among other notable achievements, and there are many, he is one of 9 people who successfully completed the recent Stanford TRIIM trial with the result of returning his thymus gland to the size of a 30-year-old, and most shockingly, turning back his Horvath DNA clock...

Why would anyone pay money to step into a chamber that is about as toasty as the dark side of the moon? Self-humiliation? Actually, there are some pretty sound reasons to do it, but without getting too into the science, what does the experience of being in space-like temperatures...

Every once in a while, we publish something that goes totally wild. Last week we did a short post on the Instagram account of Training with Joan. The incoming email comments around Joan were unprecedented. As compared to the last five years of publishing articles, she crushed anything we have...

Training with Joan. Hard is not impossible. We have been following the odyssey of Joan via Instagram. We confess that all we know about her is what we are reading in her feed. But what a feed it is. From what we can gather, Joan was a couch potato her entire...

As we are speaking, this native New Yorker is currently wearing a hat made of paper towels, and she looks magnificent. An artist, a weaver by nature, she is someone who has the ability to touch material and have it speak to her. To Deborah, anything linear and malleable...

Eye health is something that we are paying attention to. Macular degeneration is an age-related disorder, often called AMD, and is the leading cause of vision loss, outpacing cataracts and glaucoma as associated with age. If you don’t have a regular eye doctor who can perform an OCT (Optical...

We have a lot of pride in the re-born neighborhood in downtown Los Angeles where we live. It is cool, (as NYC 1985 without the crackheads and crime cool): art galleries, small bars, and loft living. One of the things about this city which baffles visitors, and takes years...
