“style=”;” /> People often ask us how Woohoo got started. The funny thing is, we never set out to create a skin care, deodorant, hair and body care brand. There was no five-year business plan. No global market dominance strategy. We don’t intend to own our own factory (gasp). We were just two health-obsessed people trying to make better products for the people we loved. In fact, the first product Aaron made was a natural stretch mark cream for me during my first pregnancy. Not because he wanted to start a business. Because he cared. And, as it turns out,…

For many of us, a hot cup of coffee is how we start our day. For Texas A&M Health researchers, it may also provide a new way to screen the modified cells in future drugs. A team at the Texas A&M Health Institute of Biosciences and Technology has developed an artificial intelligence-engineered molecular switch that uses caffeine to quickly separate modified proteins inside living cells and trigger cellular responses on demand. The platform, called CODS, short for caffeine-activated cleavage system, could help scientists create safer and more controlled gene and cell therapies. The study, published in Journal of the American…
As I said in a previous article, “The Future of US,” I have been interested in the ways we can survive and thrive in these difficult times since 1993, when I was given a vision in a sweat lodge ceremony and saw the sinking of the ship of civilization and the launching of lifeboats to a more sustainable world. From a new book by Luke Kemp, Goliath’s Curse: The Story of Social CollapseI learned about the latest findings that can help us understand our lives, our world, and find hope for the future of humanity. Kemp is a senior research…
Like most working moms, Jillian Russell doesn’t have much time for herself. He has every good excuse not to show up until a 6:30 a.m. practice. And yet several days a week she shows up early to a hot yoga class.“I love room temperature yoga, but hot yoga makes my body feel so open and relaxed,” Russell said. “Like melted butter. It’s hard work and you have to go through some discomfort, but the reward is delicious.”Feeling like melted butter sounds pretty great to me, but I’m going to need a lot more information on exactly what hot yoga is…

Researchers from ETH Zurich have developed an active ingredient that slows the progression of typical Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice. This new substance protects nerve cells and could in the future ease the suffering of Alzheimer’s patients. The active ingredient also has anti-aging effects. “Compound 10” is how Ursula Quitterer refers to the chemical compound her team has developed that could slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Quitterer is Professor of Molecular Pharmacology at ETH Zurich and has so far tested the active ingredient first in mice, revealing promising results: the typical death of nerve cells seen in dementia is significantly…
