@thebig1360 @DawnsMission uhm, you can make your own fantasy world but you can’t make up your own facts . Per capita cardiac deaths have been going down for decades because of statins.

@DawnsMission And the average cholesterol before the pharmaceuticals got involved was 600 and there was less heart disease than there is now. Go figure. Big Pharma is only good for investing; otherwise, they’re a bunch of crooks.

Doctors constantly push statins even though your body makes 85% of the cholesterol it needs. Dr. Alok Chopra: “Cholesterol is essential for life.” It powers immunity deactivates bacteria, fights infections, protects the body & slashes Alzheimer’s risk

@Pz624 @DawnsMission and calcium is late stage warning , but the grifters will still lead people down the path of cardiac disease

@DawnsMission I eat as clean as anyone, I’ve been working out 5 days a work for over 40 years. My cholesterol was 275. I wouldn’t take statins. Just got a calcium test for my heart. Normal is 0 to 400. Mine? 627. Have no choice but to try them for now!

@bballinger @altcap yes, Since CAC is calcified soft plague , it’s a late stage warning . Testing for soft plague is key but if you have high LDL, you are slowly building up plague .

What do you think about CCTA (to detect soft plaque, which is more likely to rupture)? I’d probably rank the tests: 1. State if the art blood test with ApoB, Lp(a), hsCRP, etc. 2. CCTA - more expensive but detects vulnerable plaques 3. CAC - inexpensive but only measures calcified.

We started the Center for Heart Attack Prevention to advocate for widespread CAC scans as a standard of care for everyone over 35 - the mammogram for the heart. Grt to see new guidelines moving in that direction. Universal scans will save 100k lives per year! Get your now! 🇺🇸🤍

@ThanksTesla @altcap if insurance covered it , it would cost $2,000.

@altcap Why won’t my insurance cover it? And my doctor keeps telling me it’s not necessary even as a 40+ yo

@RHodls @saylor in the battle between the markets and one individual, the markets carry the heavier hammer . The ATM will dry up at some point for common and pfds, and then the only big buyer will be gone.

The relentless selling of $MSTR stock price is impressive. The $MSTR ATM assures constant negative pressure on the stock price. @saylor will keep hitting it as long as premium exists. This builds up more and more capacity for $STRC. It also takes more Bitcoin out of circulation. It’s the short term price equity holders must pay. When does it end? When Bitcoin starts going back up? When does that happen? When sellers get exhausted. In the meantime, @saylor just doesn’t care about the stock price. He will smash the ATMs as much as possible. Because he is trying to exhaust the sellers. And he’s trying to take as much Bitcoin at these prices as possible. Either you believe in the scarcity of Bitcoin and the appeal of digital Credit. Or everything that is happening is ludicrous. There is no in between.

@CovidConfusion @ifixhearts @realDaveFeldman I follow real cardiologists , not fake doctors.

Why Cholesterol Doesn’t Fix Heart Disease 
If cholesterol causes heart disease, why hasn’t lowering LDL solved it? In this recent discussion on the Feldman Protocol with @realDaveFeldman, we explore the gap between LDL reduction and real heart disease outcomes.

@UziCryptoo yeah; uhm no- look at savings rate right now. 90+% of people would not invest the SS tax , they’d spend it . Just the reality of the situation.

The max one can pay into social security per year is $10,453.20. If you did that every year from age 18 until retirement, the max you’ll get from SS is $4,873 /month. If you put it into an S&P index fund instead, you would receive $32,583 per month. Social Security is a scam.

@rorynotsorry and of course , the leader of the money grab pack- the insurance companies .

@SguyUknow You do have a point.

To be fair, there’s probably a few two income working class families where a significant chunk of their income goes to physicians.

@altcap CAC scans don’t find the soft plague, only calcified plague that takes decades to build up. A zero CAC score can give a false sense of security .

@MidwestGolfJake i had the opposite experience , started indoor sim , practice and playing , in Feb and first round last week i was in mid season form. No trying to work out the lost swing motion, no sore muscles , solid groove . Gonna use it all year round ( driving range near me stinks).

Other than staying somewhat in golf shape, indoor golf is worthless. None of what I was doing on Trackman has translated to outside golf. I don't regret playing indoors all winter but disappointed the goodness doesn't translate. Before anyone asks, yes I'm using RCT golf balls

@ifixhearts fake advice

The ratio between your triglycerides and your HDL is a very good predictor of metabolic health.

@charliesmirkley get ready for the deniers to claim the research is fake and that some random influencer that sells unproven , expensive and unknown quality supplaments with multiple side effects has the true answers .

Want a 32% reduction in all-cause mortality and a 35% reduction in Alzheimer's risk? Take rosuvastatin. New real-world data, 838,000 propensity-matched. But healthy user bias is still a plausible explanation for the results.

@HertzyTrades you don’t collect 3% a month unless you are selling options on high risk stocks . Selling 30-40 day .25 delta puts on QQQ won’t get you half of that .

Dividend investors celebrate a 3% annual yield. Options sellers collect that in a month. On your own terms. Respect the dividend crowd. But know there's a much better lane.

@foundmyfitness just not true, the amount of garbage influencers are posting these days is getting crazy.

Plastic blenders are a source of microplastics that most people overlook. Those with plastic jars or pitchers release microplastics, and even nanoplastics, into blended food or drinks due to friction and mechanical abrasion during blending. A single 30-second blending cycle can release up to 1 billion (yes, with a "b") micro- and nanoplastic particles. BPA-free products are safer but can still release particles due to heavy use, heat, or abrasion. My advice is to switch to a completely stainless-steel blender. It's the only way to avoid contamination. Thanks to @StevenBartlett for allowing me to audit his kitchen! Check out the full episode.

@UziCryptoo daycare costs are not forever , although it seems like it will be. It’s the price you pay to keep two careers on track and is the only option if one spouse doesn’t want to take a career break and stay home with the kids until last one is in kindergarten .

My friend and his wife have 3 kids He makes $80k working construction She makes $240k in sales She wants him to stay home with the kids because it’s cheaper than daycare But he wants to keep working and pay for daycare What would you do?

@thegarybrecka not listen to your dubious advice and definitely not buy what you’re selling .

Things I will never do again = - Drink coffee before I see sunlight - Eat seed oil–loaded food and pretend it’s “healthy” - Skip protein at my first meal - Stay up past midnight - Ignore hydration and expect energy - Eat late at night - Rely on melatonin instead of fixing my routine - Sit all day and expect my body to perform - Snack constantly and call it “fueling” - Ignore ingredients just because the front label looks clean - Microwave everything in plastic - Stay indoors all day and expect optimal health - Trust “low fat” over real food - Accept brain fog as normal - Push through exhaustion instead of asking why - Use alcohol as a sleep tool You?

@ronrule What is a scam and clickbait is posts like these - you wouldn’t have 12.4% more , you’d have 6.2% more. Employers aren’t giving a 6.2 % raise - fantasy land. And 90+% of average people would not save the extra 6.2% , they’d spend it . Facts and reality

If the average person getting $4k/mo from social security could have put that 12.4% of every paycheck into the S&P instead, they would currently be getting $32k/mo instead of $4k. And their kids would continue to get that $32k/mo after they died. Social Security is a scam.

@charliesmirkley He doesn’t read research that doesn’t agree with his incorrect and dangerous bias .

Solved is a fake standard. Does LDL reduction cause reduced events? See chart below. LDL fell 12%. Heart attack deaths fell 51%, controlling for age. And only 8% of adults aged 40–55 are on a statin. The 40–64 bracket: 17–20%. Adults 65+: 58%. Treatment is concentrated in the oldest cohort, people who have accumulated three or four decades of atherogenic exposure. The area under the LDL-time curve matters. The Mendelian randomization shows genetic LDL elevation maps dose-for-dose onto MACE risk across hundreds of thousands of people in independent datasets.

@adamtaggart had impingement / rotator cuff issues 20 yrs ago, close to getting surgery and doc wanted to try a cortisone shot and no overhead shoulder press exercises. Knock of wood , still working .

Well, got the orthopedic review this morning and it’s not good Severe osteoarthritis — no cartilage left And massive osteophytes that block range of motion They said mobility work is likely to be of no use — same with stem cells and PRP Gave me a cortisone shot and recommended finding ways to avoid impinging motion (no bench presses, etc). And told me I’ll definitely need shoulder replacement surgery in the future. I'm not happy about the diagnosis. But not surprised either. I will not let it deter me from living an active, fit & fulfilling life. So I won't be slowing down, though I'll be more mindful in what I do shoulder-wise Remember: We can't control what happens to us. But we can control how we respond to it. Focus on the latter. I am.
