Everything in the library on Health Misinformation — the protocols, the science, and what it feels like in practice.
The Science of Longevity: Debunking Myths and Understanding Recovery
Dr. Peter Attia cuts through longevity folklore — why centenarians make terrible role models, why blue zones are largely a myth, and exactly when cold immersion works against you.
The Truth About Sauna Suits: A Week-Long Experiment in Heat and Weight Loss
A week of sweat-drenched training reveals what sauna suits actually deliver — and what they silently take away. The scale moves; the adaptation does not.
The Sauna Suit Experiment: Insights on Sweat, Safety, and Wellness
A 24-hour sauna suit stunt becomes a quiet case study in what trapped sweat actually does to the body — and why evaporation, not endurance theatre, is the mechanism that matters.
The Truth About Cold Exposure: Debunking Weight Loss Myths
Cold exposure activates thermogenic fat — but compensatory hunger cancels the advantage. A closer look at what the evidence actually shows, and what the popular protocols leave out.
Understanding Cold Showers: Insights from Wim Hof: They’re Lying To You ...
Wim Hof separates the mythology from the method — cold showers train resilience, sharpen focus through sustained dopamine, and improve circulation. They don't fix what sleep and nutrition must build.
The Transformative Power of Cold Showers: Exploring Benefits and Best Practices
The hype around cold showers has outrun the evidence. Here is what the research actually supports — and where the most durable benefit has nothing to do with physiology.

The headline statistics behind sauna's longevity claims come from observational cohorts, not controlled trials — and the mortality signal vanishes in healthy populations. A closer read of the evidence.
The Transformative Power of Sauna Therapy: Unlocking Health and Longevity
Heat raises your core temperature the way a fever does — deliberately, with purpose. This is how sauna protocols detoxify, restore sleep, and compound the work you're already putting in.
Understanding Colds and Flu: Empowering Your Immune Resilience
Cold viruses spread through touch, not cold air — and over 160 serotypes means no cure exists. What does exist: deliberate protocols that build resilience before exposure ever happens.
The Truth Behind Cold Showers: What Science Really Says
Cold showers carry real promise — a 29% reduction in sick days — but the mechanisms remain unmeasured and the studies small. Here is what the science actually confirms, and where it stops.
The Truth About Cold Water Immersion and Testosterone: What Science Really Says
The testosterone claim circulating online traces back to a study no one can locate. What cold water immersion actually does to your hormones — and your recovery — is more nuanced, and more useful.
