This critical analysis examines the biohacking and quantified self movements, arguing that our limited understanding of human biology makes true optimization impossible. The article explores recent anatomical discoveries, the risks of self-experimentation, the unquantifiable nature of wellbeing, and the potential intergenerational impacts of biohacking, ultimately advocating for a more humble and holistic approach to health.

This evidence-based review explores the surprising U-shaped relationship between HDL cholesterol and mortality, challenging the "higher is better" paradigm. Clinicians will find practical guidance on interpreting HDL levels, optimal reference ranges, and a more nuanced approach to cardiovascular risk assessment beyond traditional lipid parameters.

A comprehensive analysis of why traditional weight loss programs often fail, examining issues like quick-fix solutions, one-size-fits-all approaches, and lack of scientific foundation. The article contrasts these problems with evidence-based alternatives, emphasizing the importance of sustainable, scientifically-backed weight loss strategies.

A thorough critical analysis of a BMJ paper claiming carbonated water aids weight loss. The analysis debunks the paper's central hypothesis, explaining why comparing hemodialysis CO2 exposure to drinking carbonated water is fundamentally flawed. While carbonated water offers some benefits like increased satiety and hydration, its effects on metabolism and weight loss are minimal and indirect.
