  • Why You Hate Your Workout
    Jan 5 2026

    What effect does your personality have on how you feel about exercise? Do traits like extroversion or openness impact what works best for you? A new study suggests it could be the key factor in why some workouts work for some people and not others!

    Dante DiMatteo (PharmD) unpacks all the details of the study, and offers suggestions from the research of how we can use our personality to actually enjoy the exercise we all need!

  • Women Need More Testosterone
    Dec 15 2025

    Testosterone isn't just for men! We look at the effects testosterone has on everything from thyroid function, sexual dysfunction, and basic joy in life. We cover proper testing as well as the therapies, lifestyle changes, and supplements that can help boost low levels in women.

    Next, Dante examines the popular paleo diet and research that looks at the effects evolution, ecology, and economy has on the human diet. Put simply: paleo isn't really paleo! So what did our ancestors actually eat?

  • Eat Clean, Reduce ADHD
    Dec 1 2025

    A 2012 study (INCA) that only just came across our desk has huge implications for folks with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), particularly kids! Joey DiMatteo (PharmD, CCN) examines how an elimination diet improves ADHD in children. How much can food choice really affect behavior and can restricting certain foods help manage ADHD symptoms? The study was on children, but the implications are universal!

    When a listener (and Josiah) ask Dante about wearing a weighted vest, it's the perfect tie-in for looking at a study about weighted vests and long-term weight loss. Should everyone be wearing these things?
