From the laboratory bench to military medicine: In the 1970s, the young military doctor Vladimir Khatskelevich Khavinson (1946–2024) worked at the Military Medical Academy in Leningrad. The task was practical: how to keep soldiers, submarine crews and personnel functional under extreme stress, radiation and exhaustion?

Many people feel stressed, tired and out of balance despite living a “healthy” life. Research from Japan shows that there is a simple, free way to boost your immune system, lower stress hormones and restore balance – and your body has never forgotten how to do it. In this article, you will learn from Professor Qing Li’s 20 years of research into forest bathing (shinrin-yoku). Discover how trees literally strengthen your cancer-fighting cells, lower cortisol and activate your body’s sleep mode – in just 20–30 minutes.

Sick leave is often the first thing companies see. But in reality, that's rarely where the problem begins. Long before an employee is on sick leave, small signals are often visible: • energy decreases • focus becomes worse • creativity decreases • recovery fails • the stress becomes constant • performance begins to require more energy than before
Read article Stress is not a feeling you “have”. It is a biological condition that affects the entire body – from the nervous system and hormones to sleep, digestion and energy. When stress is short-lived, it is helpful. It makes you sharper, more focused, and more capable of action. But when stress persists over time, the body begins to prioritize survival over recovery and balance. Not because something is wrong – but because the system is trying to protect you.

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.

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.

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.
