Heart rate variability measures the time intervals between heartbeats — a direct window into how your nervous system balances stress and recovery. Those fluctuations reflect the balance between your sympathetic system (fight or flight) and parasympathetic system (rest and repair).
It reflects how well the autonomic nervous system (which is sympathetic and parasympathetic) manages stress and recovery, serving as a key marker for car...

The New Food Pyramid vs. the Old
For decades, dietary guidance taught that a healthy diet was built on grains. Bread, cereal, pasta, and rice formed the base of the original food pyramid, signaling that carbohydrates should make up the largest portion of daily intake. Protein and fat—especially animal fat—were placed near the top, implying they should be limited.
That model shaped school lunches, clinical recommendations, and ho...
What is ProLon
ProLon is a five-day fasting-mimicking protocol developed by Dr. Valter Longo and colleagues. It provides roughly 700–1100 calories per day in plant-based, mostly fat- and complex-carb-rich foods. The idea is to trigger fasting-like metabolic changes—think cellular housekeeping—without the complete deprivation of a water-only fast.
Dr. Longo:
Dr. Valter Longo is the Edna M. Jones Professor of Gerontology and Biolo...

Lent is a season observed by many traditions with fasting, prayer, and almsgiving. It’s a rhythm that invites us into a slower pace, a kind of deliberate uncluttering of our lives. Surrender, in this context, isn’t giving up hope or giving in to pain—it’s choosing to release control of things that aren’t serving our deepest good so we can attend to what loves us and what we love in return.
The rhythm of 40 days:
The number 40 ...
Saturday is Valentine's Day! Whether you celebrate it or not, we want to talk about our heart posture. First, some history:
It is around 265A.D. and the Roman Emperor Claudius has made it a law that young men are not to marry. He believes that they will fight with more abandon in war if they don’t have a wife and family to worry about. This results in a culture that becomes more and more vile. Polygamy runs rampant. What is a youn...

We are at the end of the first month of the New Year, and many of us have asked the familiar questions:
What goals should I set? What do I want to accomplish? What needs to change?
But today, we want to invite you to pause and consider a different question—one that is far more powerful:
Who am I becoming?
Because the truth is this – Your life does not move in the direction of your goals. It moves in the direction of the perso...
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, a day we pause not only to remember a great man, but to reflect on a life well lived.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is often remembered for his speeches, his leadership, and his dream. But what sustained that dream was not a moment—it was a disciplined life, anchored in faith, purpose, and moral conviction.
Today, we’re not revisiting history alone. We’re asking a deeper question:
What life habits...
I believe the power of fasting as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of evil and usher in a great revival and spiritual harvest around the world. —BILL BRIGHT
