How Much Protein Should I Eat a Day? 2025 Research Explained
We used to think protein needs varied dramatically depending on whether you were cutting to lose fat, bulking to build muscle, or just maintaining your current physique. But newer research tells a simpler story. Most people in most situations should eat about 0.8-to-1 gram of protein per pound of body weight per day. This recommendation […]
Why Use Stents When They Don’t Work?
Again and again, studies have shown that doctors tend to make clinical decisions for patients based on how much they themselves will get paid. In 2007, we learned from the COURAGE trial that angioplasty and stents—percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)—don’t reduce the risk of death or heart attack, but patients didn’t seem to get the memo.

Clear Protein Powder: What It Is & Why You Should Try it
If you’re tired of thick, milky protein shakes, clear protein powder might be just what you need.

The Best Hypertrophy Training Program for Mass & Strength
Most people think a hypertrophy training program means high reps, light weights, and chasing a pump until your limbs go numb. It doesn’t.

[…]
Heart Stents and Their Risks

The Risks vs. Benefits of Angioplasty and Heart Stents
What do physicians and stent companies have to say for themselves, given that they promote expensive, risky procedures with no benefit? “Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)”—angioplasty and stent placement—“continues to be frequently performed for patients with stable [non-emergency] coronary artery disease, despite clear evidence that it provides minimal benefit…” The procedure does not prevent heart attacks […]
L-Theanine and Caffeine: Ratio, Benefits, & Side Effects
Plenty of people rely on caffeine to feel sharp and focused. The problem is that most overshoot the dose. One strong coffee or an energy drink too many, and instead of feeling locked in, they’re jittery, anxious, and mentally all over the place. That’s where L-theanine comes in. L-theanine is an amino acid found mainly […]
Do Heart Stents Benefit Angina Chest Pain?
Sham surgery trials prove that procedures like non-emergency stents offer no benefit for angina pain—only risk to millions of patients. Angioplasty and stents—percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)—for stable, non-emergency coronary artery disease are among “the most common invasive procedures performed in the United States.” Though they appeared to offer immediate relief of angina chest pain in […]
