Bad posture isn’t a moral failing. It’s what happens when you spend eight or more hours a day at a desk, then sit on a couch in the evening. Your body adapts to whatever position you put it in most often, and modern life positions you poorly. The good news: posture is largely correctable. It […]

For years, the longevity conversation has been dominated by Zone 2 training — that easy, conversational-pace cardio that builds your aerobic base. And it’s important. But recent research, championed by Dr. Rhonda Patrick among others, suggests we’ve overcorrected. The data on vigorous exercise is striking, and it’s changed how I approach my own training. I […]

Sunlight often gets a bad rap due to skin cancer warnings and anti-aging concerns, but when used wisely, daily sun exposure is one of the most natural, powerful health boosters available to us. If you’ve been avoiding the sun out of fear, it’s time to rethink your approach. Here’s how to safely enjoy the sun […]

One of my favourite activities at my fitness club is cold water immersion. I willingly submerge my body into a pool of 12-degree water, embracing the cold that offers both a mental and physical reboot. Cold water immersion (CWI), a practice I’ve woven into the fabric of my daily routine, isn’t merely a challenging physical […]

For the past few years or so, I’ve been practicing intermittent fasting (IF) with practical benefits. I usually train in the morning, and I feel like I have no problem doing this on an empty stomach. This might or might have something to do with my chronotype, which favors early morning activity. Advocates of IF […]

Physical health is the foundation everything else rests on. You need it to practice sports, play with your kids, and move through life without pain. Without it, all the other forms of wealth — financial, social, mental — are harder to build and harder to enjoy. Most people understand this in theory but fail to […]

I’m currently doing some research on LASIK (Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis) surgeries, and this includes related procedures too. I’d love to know from any readers who have done such surgeries, so please leave a comment below or contact me via email. I’d really appreciate your thoughts as I am considering having this procedure done myself. […]

Over the years, I’ve been experimenting with finding the best brands for different scenarios. I tend to focus on brands that produce natural cosmetics and for clothing those that focus on natural materials like merino wool. This exercise is important for me because once I know which are my favorite brands I can reduce my […]

Growing up in Malta, I used to drink Nescafe instant coffee, which is pretty low-quality stuff, but that’s what was popular at the time. I used to add milk to it and probably go through a whole pack of sugar-loaded Italian biscuits. Not the healthiest point in my life for sure. Up until my twenties, […]

Over the past 25 years or so, I’ve been practicing sports on a very regular basis. I’ve tried several different sports, with football and cycling being the main ones in my twenties. Then, in my thirties, padel became my main focus, with other racket sports (beach tennis, tennis, frescobol) complementing it. Cycling was still present, […]
