This Poscast discusses the evolution of human health and the factors, largely emerging since 1980, contributing to its decline, driven by the author's recent hospitalization. Dr. Granite stresses the profit-driven nature of modern healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and the food industry, which he argues prioritize management and palatability over health. He highlights the disconnect between our evolutionary diet and modern food practices, including the consumption of ultra-processed foods and the unnatural diets of livestock, and suggests several online apps for healthier food choices. The author also recommends a video podcast by Dr. Nathan S. Bryan on nitric oxide, and offers access to past articles on related topics through his website, while also requesting reader support to continue his work.

Dr. Granite's newsletter examines why the U.S., despite its wealth and medical advancements, has a lower life expectancy than other educated wealthy nations. It attributes this issue to poor dietary habits shaped by a "melting pot" culinary culture heavily influenced by the processed food industry. Key contributors to this problem include added sugars, refined carbohydrates, trans fats, and seed oils, which drive metabolic dysfunction contributing to Metabolic Syndrome.

The newsletter promotes solutions such as adopting nutrient-dense, whole food-based diets, including the Mediterranean diet, and exploring low-carbohydrate or carnivore approaches. Practical guidance is provided through food lists, tips for avoiding hidden sugars, healthy drink alternatives, and nutritional tracking tools. The emphasis is on gradual, sustainable dietary changes to enhance metabolic health and overall well-being.

This podcast explores the cellular mechanisms underlying aging and potential strategies to counteract them, emphasizing the growing scientific interest in life extension. It identifies key processes that deteriorate with age, such as DNA damage, telomere shortening, and loss of Proteostasis, ultimately leading to cellular dysfunction and age-related diseases. Additionally, it highlights autophagy, a crucial cellular "self-eating" process, as vital for removing damaged components, recycling energy, and preventing disease. It also details various dietary, supplemental, and lifestyle methods to boost autophagy, suggesting these interventions as promising avenues for promoting cellular health, longevity, and disease resistance, potentially revolutionizing our understanding and management of aging.

Doctor Granite explains red and near-infrared (NIR) light therapy, detailing its historical origins, from ancient practices to modern scientific validation through laser and LED technology. He outlines the mechanisms of action, emphasizing how specific light wavelengths stimulate cellular functions, such as mitochondrial activity, and reduce inflammation. This podcast and the newsletter text discuss various applications of this therapy, including skin health, pain management, neurological conditions, metabolic health, hormonal balance, eye health, and general wellness. Furthermore, he mentions the benefits of sunlight as a source of red and NIR light while also advocating for the efficiency and intensity control offered by dedicated therapeutic devices. Finally, he provides recommendations and discounts for specific product brands.

Dr. Granite's "Little Secrets" shares valuable, yet often overlooked, information regarding health and well-being. The document emphasizes that by understanding our inherent human flaws, such as pleasure-seeking, we can make informed choices for a healthier life. The author advocates for embracing a natural lifestyle, including sunlight exposure, clean water, nasal breathing, and avoiding excessive sterilization, as these align with our evolutionary biology. The text stresses the importance of mitochondrial health and posits that lifestyle and diet modifications can manage and prevent common chronic diseases. Finally, the document advocates for easily achievable steps to improve metabolism such as increasing one's frequency of movement in daily life, and key supplements like Magnesium, Zinc, Vitamin D, DHEA, Ashwagandha, Creatine, Tongkat Ali, and Fadogia Agrestis, to promote long-term health and vitality.
