If you’re like most Zero Members, you love watching your progress on the Zero Timer. It’s inspiring to know your body is doing exactly what it needs to do to maintain your energy levels so that you can feel and be your best self. However, every body is different, and every Member has different goals…
The concept of yin and yang is a familiar one: It’s a natural state of balance where two opposite phenomena are harmoniously interconnected. Rest and stress are similarly connected — you need stress to grow, but you won’t reap the benefits (and actually grow) unless you also have sufficient rest. If you’re like most adults,…
Fasting is something virtually everyone does. For the last 2.5 million years, humans have engaged in some form of fasting and, while times have certainly changed, there are still a plethora of benefits to incorporating this practice into your routine. If you’re interested in living a long, healthy life, stick around to learn more about…
It’s a familiar scene: you walk into your kitchen, fully committed to your weight loss and longevity goals, and there, on the counter, is a batch of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. Now it’s a faceoff: instant melt-in-your-mouth gratification versus long-term goals and prioritizing health. Sure, cookies are a perfect blend of sugar and fat…
It’s a tale as old as time: One minute you’re totally rocking your health routine — eating well, exercising, sleeping 8 hours a night, and even practicing mindfulness. And, the next minute? Well… not so much. Often, it’s one small decision, a little bump in the road on the journey to metabolic health, that can…
According to a recent study, only 6.8% of Americans are in good metabolic health — a worrisome statistic. But what does it really mean? And how can you not only assess your metabolic health, but actively improve it? Metabolic Health Is More Than a Lack of Disease Thus far, scientists and clinicians haven’t agreed upon a…
If you want to optimize for lifespan, you must consider yourself a pro in the longevity game. That means finding ways to decrease risk of chronic disease and other health complications. The way to do this is not through short-term fixes like crash diets or bootcamps. Instead, you should integrate complementary health habits for maximum…
Stress often gets a bad rap. That’s because when we think of stress, we typically think of chronic stress, which is the unrelenting sort associated with systemic inflammation, disease risk, and burnout. However, not all stress is bad. In fact, if it weren’t for the good stress in our lives, we’d never grow or see…
Like it or not, humans need rest. Every cell in your body is genetically programmed for activity and rest on a 24-hour circadian cycle, and no amount of “hacking” will keep you healthy if you deviate from that pattern for too long. Of course, we want to be productive! We need to earn an income…
Many people hear the term circadian rhythm and immediately think of sleep. That’s not wrong, but there is so much more to circadian rhythm than just getting some shut-eye. Your circadian rhythm is actually a full 24-hour cycle during which your body coordinates cellular health and molecular function — and it’s essential for overall health…
