Welcome! Together, we can make the world healthier.

Here, in my blog, I share insights on living a healthy lifestyle grounded in science and evidence-based medicine. I teach how to integrate health into your daily life, and I also write about psychology, neurobiology, social evolution, aesthetics, and dopamine — all aspects that influence our well-being and behavior.



 

I firmly believe that everyone should understand how their body works and be able to apply that knowledge in practice. No one knows you better than you do, and when this self-awareness is combined with an understanding of fundamental physiological processes, it helps you make healthy and effective decisions.

I study and teach effective strategies to strengthen and maintain individual health, carefully reviewing scientific research and promoting a culture of health education. For me, health is not just the absence of disease — it’s wellbeing, energy, and the body’s reserve resources. Being healthy means being effective!

Everyone has the potential to learn how to make healthy choices, from managing stress to selecting the right foods. By passing on these skills, you contribute to the culture of health, and the confidence in knowing what you’re doing and why is invaluable.

I am convinced that learning and self-education are incredibly powerful. Motivation, authority, and willpower can push us to act, but they fade quickly. Knowledge, however, stays with you. When you understand the physiology of your desires and states, it becomes much easier to resist impulses and maintain conscious discipline over the long term. Knowledge is power.

Here, I invite you to explore my books, courses, and articles, follow the blog, and grow together as we learn to make healthier, more conscious choices every day.

Give Five: 5 health ideas for a better life (23)

  Give Five: 5 health ideas for a better life (23)   ✅1 Relaxing the eyes.   Gaze direction and eye muscle tension affect your whole body's posture. Staring at a screen for hours builds tension throughout. What helps: look into the distance regularly — fix your gaze on something at least 4 meters away (a photo or painting with depth works great), close your eyes for 10–30 seconds as a micro-break, and try this: imagine your eyeballs as two heavy, warm spheres slowly rotating in their sockets. Even 10–20 seconds of closed eyes during screen work resets tension — and helps with memory too. ✅2 Dance.   Among all movement-based interventions for depression, dancing comes out on top. Add even a minute to your warm-up or cooldown. Try a victory dance after a win, or dance out stress when it builds. Dancing is also the strongest driver of brain neuroplasticity across all movement types — and builds motor memory with lasting benefits. ✅3 Using the body to access intuition. ...

Fast dopamine and addiction

The faster, the more addictive: food, drugs, and love. The faster and higher the dopamine spikes, the higher the risk of addiction and the greater the euphoria. Conversely, the slower and longer the reward, the less significant it seems (temporal discounting).      Research reveals that the faster a drug reaches the brain, the more likely it is to be addictive. For example, the reported maximum euphoria is highest for smoked cocaine (time to peak effects: 1.4 min), followed by intravenous (3.1 min) and then intranasal (14.6 min) routes of administration. The fastest methods are smoking, followed by injection, inhalation, and then ingestion.   It turns out that the speed factor activates the brain's "salience network" and causes desensitization to the substance (=risk of addiction). A corticostriatal circuit comprising the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex and insula and their connections with the dorsal caudate, which is activated by fast dopamine increases and parall...
