Butter, Dementia's Antagonist.
+ exercise mutes cancer genes
Good morning everyone and Merry Christmas.
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday with your family, spending the morning breakfasting on homemade cinnamon rolls and soaking up smiles.
You heathens had better have read the Nativity as well. Jesus was born two thousand years ago, yet He is still alive and well. Coming back real soon, in fact. And I am absolutely certain—more certain than my love of butter—that Jesus loves you.
I am writing this from my new Daylight computer, gifted to me by my girlfriend. The Daylight computer is supposedly designed to be “less addictive and distracting” which, come to think of it, seems more like an intervention than a gift.
I really don’t think I have a screentime problem. Like, five hours of nightly Minecraft really isn’t that bad, is it? Jon Haidt, wouldn’t you agree? What’s also frustrating about this organic computer is that I haven’t figured out a way to stream by favorite Twitch users, making Christmas 2025 more Kafkaesque than it is Little Women.
But I must be honest. I, too, gifted my girlfriend with an intervention of sorts: private dance lessons.
You see, last month we went country dancing with one our favorite couples, Kevin and Jordan. Kevin happens to be one of my best friends and worst arch nemesis. We compete in everything—CrossFit, board games, cooking, theology (he’s not as Reformed™), and now country dancing.
But where I am typically the alpha victor in most of our arguments and competitions, Kevin and Jordan danced circles around us. They were doing all sorts of twists and turns and flips with effortless charisma, while my girlfriend and I were stumbling around as if we were alien beings hearing musical patterns and inhabiting human bodies for the first time. They were hot, we were not.
But if there’s something else that I am also not, it’s a quitter. And I refuse to go down in this particular competition without a fight. So to Kevin and Jordan: enjoy your Christmas. We’ll see you in 2026 with an improved two-step and better sense of rhythm. Be scared.
I was texting a friend last weekend about exercise. This friend (let’s call her Monica for the sake of anonymity) really doesn’t like weight or aerobic training. Plus, she’s naturally lean and already looks great, so it’s not that she’s motivated by aesthetics. Why fix something that’s not broken, right?
But a person’s waistline is not necessarily indicative of their fitness—and the multifaceted benefits that come exclusively through movement. Monica might look great for swimsuit season, but if her body isn’t being physiologically tested, certain aspects of her health will remain locked.
For example, there are numerous reports outlining the positive epigenetic changes that occur when we lift weights and elevate our heart rate. Genes with a propensity for breast cancer or neurodegeneration get muted—turned off—as a result of moving the body.
For Monica, who has cancer in her family, I want this truth to sink in deep: that through exercise, among other lifestyle habits, we have more agency over our health destiny than we know.
So for the Buttercups lacking motivation about exercise, don’t just think about how good—or not good—you look. Think more holistically and long-term about exercise, because movement—or lack thereof—in your thirties is shaping the lab results and brain scans in your 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s.
Monica, you convinced?
The FDA approved a pill version of a GLP-1 drug. Good news here is no more needles. Bad news is 74% of the trial participants experienced GI issues. Charming, idyllic.
Researchers found that upping NAD+ levels can reverse Alzheimer’s and restore memory. “The key takeaway is a message of hope—the effects of Alzheimer's disease may not be inevitably permanent," said the study’s author.
RFK Jr. is reportedly going to mirror America’s vaccine schedule to Denmark's, thereby recommending children skip respiratory syncytial virus, influenza, rotavirus, chickenpox, meningitis, hepatitis A and hepatitis B vaccines. “They’re going to bring back suffering and death,” said Dr. Sean O’Leary, chair of the infectious disease committee for the American Academy of Pediatrics. Let’s not forget that the AAP is heavily influenced—and funded—by vaccine makers. It's also the same APP that continues to recommend gender affirming care (cross sex hormones, puberty blockers, surgeries) to children struggling with gender dysphoria, despite overwhelming evidence that these practices cause irreversible harm and will go down in history as the most scandalous, immoral experiments of all time.

There are very, very few political leaders I admire and aspire to be like. Dr. Jay is among them.
A study following over 27,000 individuals for twenty five years found that those who ate high fat dairy were significantly less likely to develop dementia than those consuming low fat dairy products. My reaction? Duh. The brain literally functions on fatty acids and fat soluble vitamins. Continue to run on butter if you want a sharp brain, Buttercups!
Lastly, I told y’all I would drop the link to my family’s Christmas concerts last weekend. We didn’t end up live streaming it, but we did just drop the footage, attached below.
