This is how you can influence your own emotions
We have long lived with the idea that emotions are something that just arise, something that affects us. Stress comes, anxiety grows, panic sets in. And at best, we try to deal with it afterwards. But when you start to understand what is actually happening in the body and brain, the picture becomes different. Emotions are not just psychological phenomena. They are biological processes. Chemical, neurological and physical. And that is precisely why they can also be influenced. With relatively simple tools, you can both reduce stress reactions, break panic and actively build more positive emotional states.

SIBO and leaky gut – when digestion and barriers lose their function
Gastrointestinal problems are rarely just about what we eat. They are often about how the body processes food and whether the protective systems that are supposed to keep the gut in balance are working properly. Two conditions that are often linked are SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth) and leaky gut. They are sometimes described as separate problems, but in practice they are often different expressions of the same underlying imbalance.

No matter how perfect your diet is, it doesn't matter if the body can't break down, absorb and use the nutrients. Over the course of a lifetime, up to 60 tons of food pass through our digestive system. It is one of the most advanced systems in the body. Digestion is not just a mechanical process. It is a finely tuned interplay between chemistry, microbiome, immune system and nervous system. And perhaps it is the role of the nervous system that is most underestimated.

Practical tips to improve your HRV
Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the variation in time between your heartbeats. It says a lot about how well your autonomic nervous system is functioning, i.e. the balance between stress response and recovery. In general, the higher your HRV, the better your body's stress tolerance, recovery, and resilience. That's why many people today use HRV as a biohacking tool to understand how your body is doing. Here are five simple, research-based ways to improve your HRV.

STUDY: Saturated fat prevented skin cancer in UV-irradiated mice
An Australian study from 1988 showed that mice fed saturated fat became virtually immune to cancer-causing UV rays – while the same UV exposure in mice fed polyunsaturated fat led to massive tumor growth. What really happens to the skin when we choose the wrong fat? Research can turn upside down what we thought we knew about sun protection and diet.
