English

English

@markasaurus @SinaiLawFirm @rohindhar Yeah you can omi a protected relative into a protected tenants unit.

I think “Strait of Hormuz: A Citrini Field Trip” would be a good second installment of our Field Trip series.

@DrAndyGalpin Doc, do you still believe the focus on improving Vo2 max is justified which may cause people to chase risky Zone 5 (in addition to zone 2)

The "Athlete's Heart" Paradox is a fascinating and ongoing question.
Open-access review paper below for details; here's a summary.
The term was 1st coined in 1899, but we've long acknowledged that exercise is good for the heart; too much, however, is actually dangerous.
Think the classic story of the Marathon (soldier runs from the city of Marathon to Athens, 26.2 miles, then dies).
Centuries later, when the Olympic Games returned in 1896, the Marathon event exploded in popularity and really launched scientific inquiry into what's happening in the heart with extreme exercise.
Things changed dramatically after a series of studies in the 1960-70's provided imaging of the architecture of the heart and confirmed what was speculated, endurance exercise was causing structural changes in the heart that look incredibly similar to heart disease....but yet....they were performing BETTER physically and were at MUCH lower risk of heart disease.
Exercise-induced adaptations mimicked disease.
What we know as of now is that exercise is on net balance, extremely protective of health - but for some people, it might open them up to additional risks.
Officially termed: "Exercise-Induced Cardiac Remodeling" the
3 Main maladaptations are:
1⃣ Arrhythmia risk (classic "A Fib.")
2⃣ Coronary Artery Calcification
3⃣ Myocardial Fibrosis
3 Main Benefits are:
1⃣ Cardiac Enlargement
2⃣ Vascular Compliance
3⃣ Enhance Metabolic Flexibility
HOWEVER: These risks generally are greatly exceeded by the net profound benefits of exercise, but does suggest personalized interpretation for highly trained individuals.
PS: These issues are far more common and problematic in men than women, but more research is needed.

@styleadjacent @altcap @jaltma Any locations which don’t need a provider’s order? Or can they self prescribe it similar to Preneuvo? I noticed SimonMed says AI analysis which seems similar to Cleerly but not the same I guess
English

Went and got a CCTA heart scan at Cleerly after seeing a bunch of prompting from @altcap. I'm pretty fully bought in on the need to measure and drive your own health.

@dollarsanddata I’m assuming shared living cost is the factor since it’s a large part of any budget? Wonder if the current trend of singles living with roommates would compensate for marginal status.

A college degree has no statistically significant impact on wealth, unless you get married
Hard to believe, but it’s true.
Nick Maggiulli@dollarsanddata
There are two common paths to wealth in America: (1) Be a married, college graduate (2) Start a business A married college grad has 22x more wealth than a single high school grad. A single business owner has 36x more. My latest: ofdollarsanddata.com/wanna-get-rich…

@gavinnixon7 @AbudBakri I used nasal Wolverine and GLOW and KLOW sub q injections. Gave me higher dose than routine would suggest

Cute to assume the government won’t change the laws and tax Roth IRAs in the future.
Ross Gerber@GerberKawasaki
The best thing you can do is put all your savings in a Roth IRA. Then these politicians can never take your money again. Ever.
English

@cullenroche As a risk manager; why do you continue to be a “masochistic DIYer”? A simple roof leak and insurance can easily deny claims assuming you are not a licensed roofing professional.

@basilp_nft @PalmerLuckey @bryan_johnson I see you are based in NZ. @prenuvo literally offers this for around $2k here in Redwood City. You get a CD and a readout with a NP. It’s your decision after that if you want to further investigate or monitor for changes. Not sure why you’re arguing with Palmer that it’s uncommon
English

If they discovered a lesion and they decide to watch and wait (of course they said it was perfect) then ok but every serial MRI can then throw up new potential incidental findings too.
It's something someone like @bryan_johnson might do but i suspect even he would find it overkill.
English

Imagine thinking the President of the United States doesn't get regular preventative MRI scans.
Heck, I do this, and I am a lot less important than the leader of the free world.
Kelly Morrison@KellyMorrisonMN
Doctor here 👋 There's no such thing as a "preventative MRI."

@rohindhar @nonmayorpete @GhodoosiAr44684 @KenjiCapital Does the new owner need to correct the violations and is the cost prohibitive?

@EconomPic Would have offset QE and Fed would have had to buy them. Net Treasury + Fed shortened duration.

The U.S. should have issued as much long dated bonds as humanly possible during ZIRP

@NateGeraci A 100 year Austria bond at < 1% nominal is up there, but I’ll go with Drake

@cremieuxrecueil @paleonormie Any 3rd party tests to check if it triggers Muscle Protein Synthesis? I remember a lot of protein powders back in the day had something for protein spiking where it would show protein content but not work as intended.

@Drlipid @nationallipid @ASPCardio @FamilyHeartFdn @MenopauseOrg I’m more curious if there are any actionable steps if the test comes out positive?

The Oldest Woman (117) Had “High” Cholesterol 🩸— Here’s What That Really Means🤔(Link 🔗 in 8/8)
1/8) The world’s oldest woman just died. Before she passed, she pleaded, “Please study me.”
A new paper in Cell Reports Medicine (PMID: 39322234) just published provides a deep dive into her genes, metabolism and microbiome. What made this 117-year-old such a supercentenarian?
As a metabolism scientist, this is the kind of data I’d die for (figuratively speaking). Stick with me. I’ll break down what her biology really tells us about aging, and why we might be obsessed with the wrong biomarkers.

@rohindhar How does Meta know they are not gay? Does it look up their Grindr profile

@siimland Cutting ApoB in half without statins or PCK9 is impressive. I wonder though if it can be maintained with age even after restriction of Saturated Fats to less than 10g/day.

I used to have 8 kg more mass, and I did exclusively weightlifting 5 years ago
I was a lot stronger and more muscular than today
But I quickly realized that eating 4,000+ calories and having a BMI of 28, even if I'm jacked, isn't optimal for long-term health
Fast forward 5 years:
- Weight down from 86 kg to 79–80 kg
- Visceral fat: down from ~450g to 54-150g
- ApoB: down from 120 mg/dL to 58 mg/dL
- HbA1c: down from 5.4% to 4.9%
- Homocysteine: down from 15 to 5 µmol/L
- VO₂ max: up from the low 50s to 60s
While I'm about 10-15% weaker on the main lifts, my overall health markers are significantly better and more balanced
- I'm still very strong (my relative strength actually increased)
- My cardiovascular fitness is significantly better as I started doing programmed cardio
- My body composition is better, relatively speaking
- My bloodwork is all optimal
