@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. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40608857/

@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

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.

@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

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.

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

@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.

Cremieux was right, this stuff rules You can just scoop some into soup or oatmeal or yogurt or whatever and it gives you 22g of protein without messing with the texture or taste

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.

@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 Made a full video about the biggest changes I made to my diet, exercise, and sleep: youtu.be/8M9uHhFf26c
