@foundmyfitness 100% - most people need better training stimulus, not more protein.
Contrarian truth: without blood work and SNP-guided peptides to personalize recovery, even perfect training leaves gains on the table. We turn Rhonda’s insight into measurable elite results.

Most people don't need more protein to build muscle.
They need to train more.
Protein isn’t the main driver of adaptation, training is. Muscle growth, strength, and metabolic health are primarily stimulated by mechanical tension and progressive overload, not just a higher protein intake.
Protein’s role is supportive. It helps repair and build after you’ve given your body a reason to adapt. But without a meaningful training stimulus, more protein doesn’t translate into better outcomes (e.g., more strength, greater lean mass).

Spot on from @thegarybrecka about morning protein. My data-backed take: it’s a great start, but real optimization demands continuous biomarker tracking and personalized peptides matched to your genetics. Most people miss that layer, here’s the dashboard that doesn’t. 🧬

Gary Brecka@thegarybrecka
One of the biggest mistakes I see in nutrition: People eat almost no protein at breakfast. If your first meal is mostly carbs, your blood sugar spikes and crashes within a few hours. Aim for 30–40g of protein in the morning: Eggs. Greek yogurt. Protein smoothie. Steak and eggs. What did you eat this morning??

@BioStatLtd Was able to lower my biological age by 6 years recently and was thrilled about it.

Provocative but true: The first to hit 200 is likely already here — but only if they’re ruthless with blood work, SNP-guided peptides, and biometrics like Bryan Johnson. Blind optimism won’t cut it. The BioStat community is stacking the real advantages with personalized panels.

@BioStatLtd Disagree, Liposomal is a fad. The missing point is actually timing. Taking supplements in the morning vs evening. With or without food is also an important factor.
English
Most Supplements Fail Bioavailability - Just Expensive Urine.
Stop wasting capital on marketing hype. Understand the Bioavailability Hierarchy. Glycinate beats Oxide every time. Form determines plasma impact. Liposomal is a 5-10x multiplier. Validate via blood markers.

What’s your current strategy for maximizing absorption on your protocol?
Gary Brecka@thegarybrecka
Most people think supplements don’t work... sometimes that’s true. If the nutrient isn’t in a form your body can absorb, it won’t do what you think it’s doing. In this new episode, I break down bioavailability and why the form of a nutrient can determine whether it helps your body… or just gets flushed away. Watch the full episode right here on X👇🏻

@BioStatLtd No I can’t say I have measured my Achilles thickness 😂
English
🚨 This ankle metric is a game-changer.
Bryan Johnson observed Achilles thickness correlates directly with higher probability of a cardiac event.
But most people are still clueless without serial blood work to track the real LDL damage over time. Blood biomarkers + tendon imaging = true longevity edge. Most are still guessing blindly.
Have you thought about measuring tendon thickness? What’s your Achilles thickness or latest ApoB? 📈👇
Bryan Johnson@bryan_johnson
Your ankle is a window into your heart. A new study found that patients with a thickened Achilles tendon were nearly twice as likely to experience a major cardiovascular event within three years of a coronary stent procedure. An observational study retrospectively compared outcomes for 1362 participants with coronary artery disease undergoing PCI, examining differences between patients with and without Achilles tendon thickening (defined as ≥8 mm in men or ≥7.5 mm in women). Patients with thickened Achilles tendons faced a 99% higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over three years (28.4% vs 17.9% for those with and without thickening, respectively). (MACE was defined as all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, stroke, and clinically driven target-vessel revascularization.) Thickened Achilles tendons were more prevalent in patients with the more severe, rapidly developing, and less stable acute coronary syndrome (ACS) (24.3% had thickened tendons) compared to patients with the more stable chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) (13.7% had thickened tendons). Among ACS patients, having a thickened Achilles tendon was a significant predictor, increasing the risk of a recurring major cardiovascular event within the next three years by 4.7 times. The findings suggest that Achilles tendon thickening may serve as a prognostic marker in patients with cardiovascular disease, with special value in predicting early recurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with acute coronary syndrome. While the analysis did not include blood cholesterol levels and does not establish causation, one plausible explanation is that Achilles tendon thickening reflects cumulative exposure to elevated LDL cholesterol over many years. This may be especially relevant in familial hypercholesterolemia, a genetic disorder characterized by markedly elevated LDL cholesterol, in which Achilles tendon thickening is also used as a diagnostic criterion.

@BioStatLtd @hubermanlab Melanotan 2 and BPC157. I hope Retatrutide is included once FDA approved, the quality of it on the gray market is really concerning
English
This is a massive WIN.
Clean compounders taking over is a victory. When paired with blood work, legit peptides safely drop hs-CRP and boost HRV by 20-35%.
No more guessing with gray markets. The shady figures promoting peptides from China and ghost-like “third party purity testing” facilities are evaporating in real-time. Precision tracking is the future.
What peptides are you taking? 🧬
English
Consider this arc: peptides were around in niche communities, GLPs from Pharma then exploded, people realized they could take less or source them elsewhere, regulation enters & now gray & black market are going bye-bye & companies like HIMs & clean compounders are set to soar.

@BioStatLtd Ours has been a game changer. There’s no way that he truly believes wearables are a fad
English
Very surprising take from Crémieux. Dismissing wearables as a "health fad" ignores the actual clinical validation data.
While healthy skepticism is necessary in medical education, we must move beyond opinion to evidence-based application of biometric tools. If HHS is recommending doctors learn about them, it’s because the data supports their utility in preventive and precision medicine.
We break down the evidence-based reality:
1️⃣ The HRV & Recovery Argument:
Validation studies show consumer devices like Oura and Whoop achieve ~85-90% accuracy for Heart Rate Variability (HRV) tracking when compared to the ECG gold standard. This isn't just a gimmick; it provides a quantifiable, longitudinal visualization of autonomic nervous system balance, enabling actionable insights into systemic recovery and strain management.
2️⃣ Metabolic Real-Time Feedback:
Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) are a paradigm shift. Trials in non-diabetic cohorts have demonstrated that real-time feedback from CGMs leads to actionable behavioral change, reducing overall glycemic variability and improving long-term HbA1c markers by 0.3-0.5%. That is statistically and clinically significant.
3️⃣ Behavioral Adherence Outcomes:
Data doesn't lie. Longitudinal RCTs link wearable use to a sustained increase of +1,500 daily steps and a 25-40% higher adherence rate to exercise and sleep optimization protocols. In a world struggling with lifestyle-driven disease, these behavioral tools are essential.
4️⃣ Longitudinal Biometric Synthesis:
The ultimate power lies in synthesis. Combining wearable data trends (HRV, glycemic control) with comprehensive blood work allows practitioners to move beyond treating symptoms to true personalization and preventive intervention. This is the cornerstone of protocols from leaders like Peter Attia and Bryan Johnson.
5️⃣ Population-Scale Clinical Impact:
The Apple Heart Study demonstrated population-scale atrial fibrillation (AFib) detection with high specificity. Wearables are transitioning from curiosity to critical clinical integration tools.
Data beats opinion every time.
To dismiss the collective impact of these tools on metabolic health, autonomic function, and behavioral change is to ignore the clinical reality. HHS is preparing doctors for the future of precision healthcare.
We must use the data, or we will be obsolete.

Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil

@BioStatLtd @bryan_johnson Crazy how we used to experiment in the woods and didn’t call it an experiment.
English
Fascinating experiment, Bryan.
The Sigma-1 receptor agonism driving that IL-6 and TNF-alpha reduction is well documented. But how are we tracking the real-world neurogenesis?
While the proteomic reorganization in cerebral organoids is promising, clinical reality requires measurable biomarker data. We need to see the pre and post inflammation panels. Are you tracking the systemic anti-inflammatory effects alongside HRV to quantify the Default Mode Network reset?
Let's see the results! 🧬🧠 Who else is experimenting with psychedelics? Will you be tracking neurogenesis markers?
English
I'm experimenting with 5-MeO-DMT because it may be most underrated longevity molecule no one is talking about.
+ Accelerated neurogenesis: a single dose more than doubled brain cell proliferation and neuronal regeneration in the hippocampus within 12 hours, alongside measurable increases in synaptic density and firing frequency in rodent models.
+ Proteomic reorganization: in human cerebral organoids, 5-MeO-DMT triggers rapid proteomic shifts favoring cellular reorganization and synapse formation. Early evidence of structural brain renewal at the molecular level.
+ Default Mode Network reset: The DMN calcifies with age locking us into rigid, repetitive patterns of thought. 5-MeO-DMT disrupts these patterns, restoring bottom up connectivity between sensory and creative brain regions. A forced return to neurological flexibility and youthfulness.
+ Systemic anti-inflammation: suppresses pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-alpha) while upregulating IL-10, the anti-inflammatory signal. Mediated through the Sigma-1 receptor, suggesting a mechanism distinct from other psychedelics.

@BioStatLtd @hubermanlab @MichaelAlbertMD I can’t think of anything bad to say about BPC-157, plus the evidence shows it’s effective. However, I did my research and sourced from purity tested companies. The FDA recategorizing BPC ensures purity and takes the guess work out.
English
Andrew is spot on. Caution is non-negotiable with the missing human RCTs and FDA alerts on compounded sources. ⚠️🔬
If optimizing, it must be labs + MD only.
BPC-157 accelerates rodent tendon healing 2–3× via VEGF (Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 2010), but you need strict pre/post blood markers.
We must track CRP inflammation reduction, IGF-1, and liver function to mitigate risks. 🧪📉
Who has only good things to say about BPC-157? 👇
English
But peptides are drugs—bioactive chemicals with pharmacologic effects. These products are being sold as benign as supplements. That’s far more concerning.
Why wouldn’t investigational peptides be rigorously scrutinized and held to the same regulatory standards required for all new drug applications?
a16z@a16z
Personalized peptide stacks could become as normal as vitamins. Andrew Huberman on where supplements are heading: "In five years you and I are going to have a little cocktail. It's going to be one injection or one pill." "Whatever I need to ramp up my dopaminergic system a little bit to make sure I'm getting enough micronutrients. Maybe I'm gonna put a little Klotho in there to protect me against Alzheimer's." "All of that stuff is going to be commonplace. The same way that people are not afraid of vitamin D or they're taking some creatine or magnesium." "I think most everyone is going to be doing that." @hubermanlab @daisydwolf

@BioStatLtd @thegarybrecka I completely cut out alcohol in an attempt to raise my testosterone levels. I hadn’t thought about CoQ10 at all so this is interesting.

Gary 100% - that ~1% annual drop (Levine et al. 2017) is real, but you nailed it: it’s NOT genetic destiny.
Sperm quality is one of the most malleable biomarkers we track. The same levers you listed (sleep, nutrition, toxins, metabolic health, exercise) move semen parameters dramatically when you add targeted repletion.
From the biometrics side we see every week:
• Zinc + Vit D3 optimization alone can lift count & motility 20-40% in deficient men
• CoQ10 + L-Carnitine directly fuel sperm mitochondria (motility is everything for conception)
• Full antioxidant stack protects DNA fragmentation (the real predictor of healthy kids)
That’s exactly why vetted and selected VitalSeed (in our bio) as our #1 fertility supp:
9 clinically-dosed, purity-tested fertility actives (600 mg CoQ10, 600 mg L-Carnitine, picolinate Zinc 30 mg, Selenium, active Folate, D3, etc.) built around the 90-day sperm cycle.
Men are reporting measurable improvements in count, motility & morphology on repeat semen analysis in as little as 90 days when they stack it with the lifestyle you outlined.
What’s ONE change you’re making this week for your future kids? 🔥🧬 👇
English
Sperm count has been dropping about 1% every year for decades.
Most men assume fertility is genetic. It’s not.
Sperm quality is highly responsive to lifestyle:
✅ Exercise
✅ Toxin exposure
✅ Sleep
✅ Nutrition
✅ Metabolic health
The encouraging part? Studies show measurable improvements in sperm quality in as little as six months when men change these variables. Your daily habits today are shaping the health of your future children.

BREAKING 🚨 RFK Jr. on JRE just called military base food ‘appalling’. Soldiers were throwing out nearly 50% of meals and spending their own money on fast food instead. The turnaround is rolling out now: Chef Robert Irvine is bringing fresh, locally sourced whole-food meals to bases at just $10/day (down from $18), with the pilot expanding to 20 bases and massive demand. Food quality is foundational for longevity: cleaner inputs mean lower inflammation, better metabolic markers, and faster recovery. We look forward to covering the changes being made in our publication (bio). ⚠️ Current or former military: How badly did the old chow tank your hs-CRP, energy, or recovery labs?

🚨 U.S. NAVY SAILOR FILMS WHAT THEY’RE BEING FED ON A WARSHIP DURING THIS WAR — PEOPLE ARE SHOCKED
A sailor aboard a U.S. Navy warship filmed the food line during deployment.
The camera slides past the trays revealing:
• breaded patties piled in a metal pan
• thick brown gravy poured over everything
• oily greens
• picked-over mixed vegetables
• a tray of rice nearly scraped empty
• a few scattered potatoes left at the bottom
Some say this is exactly what military chow has always looked like.
Others say if sailors are deployed and fighting a war, their meals should look a lot better than this.
If billions are spent on the military every year… why does the food look like this?

@BioStatLtd @hubermanlab @a16z @daisydwolf I’ve found BPC-157 is gold for tissue repair, esp post-FDA compounding greenlight. Low-dose (250mcg) + TB-500 combo → 40% faster heal times among athletes.

You truly can't beat the basics.
Sunshine and steak lower CRP and support your epigenetics. But don't guess with modern tools. A $1000 cold plunge boosts norepinephrine but will spike cortisol if you aren't tracking HRV. Red light only amplifies ATP if your blood work shows your nutrients are dialed in. Labs over hype. Stack the ancient lifestyle with biometric tracking for real longevity.
