What it is: Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) is the energy your body uses outside of structured exercise, eating, sleeping, and your resting metabolic rate (RMR). It includes fidgeting, carrying bags, climbing stairs, pacing during calls, and other unplanned movement throughout the day. NEAT can vary by as much as 2,000 kcal per day between people of similar size, largely due to lifestyle and occupation. This means two people with identical workout routines can stil

To gain a clear understanding of your current inflammatory responses, we use a combination of cardiovascular risk markers and nutritional lipid markers that are indirectly related to inflammation. Inflammatory markers are measurable signals that indicate how well the body’s immune and repair systems are functioning. As part of the Apeiron Life assessment, these markers are analyzed through a blood draw to identify systemic inflammation, cardiovascular risk, oxidative stress,

Turmeric root is a widely available and well-studied plant due to its potential to reduce inflammation, treat joint pain, and its antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It is derived from the rhizomes of Curcuma longa, a plant in the ginger family, and has been used in cooking for hundreds of years. Recently, in Western medicine, there has been significant focus on the active compound curcumin, as research suggests it may have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.

What it is: Phytonutrients, also called phytochemicals or bioactives, are naturally occurring compounds found in food that can influence biological processes in the human body. Plants produce them to protect themselves from threats such as damage, disease, and pests. Their effects can be beneficial or harmful depending on the compound, dose, and overall dietary pattern. Around 10,000 different phytochemicals have been identified, although detailed scientific understanding cur

What it is: Risk may emerge when: There is already cardiac vulnerability Dose is high (>1g/day) EPA is disproportionately elevated to DHA Omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA, DHA, and DPA, have traditionally been associated with cardiovascular benefit, but their relationship with atrial fibrillation (AFib) is more nuanced than previously understood. AFib is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and involves disorganized electrical activity in the atria of the heart, whi
