Ketones for Surgery?
If you've followed my journey with Crohn's disease, cycling, and/or running, you know that I've experimented with ketone products (and my own formulations!) for ten years, as it was one of the keys to finally getting my inflammation under control.
I've also been drinking for the last couple of weeks to prepare for abdominal surgery and through recovery. So far, keeping my ketones elevated has...
"Inside the Mafia of Pharma Pricing" is the latest from Matt Stoller’s excellent newsletter on monopolies, called simply, “Big”. This time Matt and his team turns their focus on Pharmacy Benefit Managers (PBMs), the money-sucking leeches that stand in the middle of drug price negotiation and manufacturer rebates. PBMs were once simple claim processors but as Big Pharma started to become conglom...
I've been taking Timeline's Urolithin A product, Mitopure for the last month since finishing my first marathon. The product is extracted from pomegranates and has some pretty compelling science behind it when it comes to immune function and inflammation. I've found it to have really helped my marathon recovery, particularly the inflammation and fatigue that can come from such a tough effort.
I...
In recognition of World Meditation Day on May 21st, I’m curating recent finds from my own practice. I started a daily practice in 2016 that turned into five years of daily sitting. Eight years later, meditation, along with movement and physical training, have been crucial for getting through a decade of health issues and Crohn’s Disease, and provide a direct through line to deep remission. Mind...
When it comes to both long-term health span and a healthy immune response to the world around us, the healthier you are at a metabolic level, the more likely you are to minimize the impact and damage from everything from aging to ever-changing airborne viruses. Your gut is estimated to contain as much as 80% of your immune function and we’re finding that the state of bacteria of your microbiome...
The One Page Vision sheet is a great way to crystalize your idea so you can communicate it effectively.

Elevator Pitch
This is the most simple expression of your idea and often the hardest to nail because we are all walking around with way too much information that no one else has. A good exercise is to think about how you would explain your business on Twitter, keeping it a high level c...
What can I expect at the end of the 12 weeks?
When I surveyed people about the areas of their life they are looking to address with this course, everyone responded with specific areas of focus but also that they were looking to impact every area of their life. At the end of the 12-week course, you will have a personalized framework to make the changes in your life you are looking for that has ...
Those of us with an autoimmune disorder, like Crohn’s disease, are in a constant state of managing inflammation and dealing with the systemic disruption and damage that can happen when inflammation gets out of control. Long cycles of endurance training can exacerbate inflammation, with symptoms and impact similar to what we see with autoimmunity, making continual training more difficult and inc...
“I’m pretty sure I won my age group!”, I pronounced as my fellow Fleet Feet runners and I sat down at the Big Sur River Inn for lunch. What would normally follow is a round of cheers, but today my declaration brought laughs all the way around. Rewind about two-and-a-half hours to Andrew Molera State Park, where hundreds of trail runners gathered in the rain at the start of the Big Sur Trail Hal...
