1/ The ovary is the fastest-aging organ in the female body. And almost no one is studying why.I just sat down with @BBParis1984 (@USCLeonardDavis ), who runs one of the only labs in the world mapping ovarian aging. A few things from our conversation I can't stop thinking about:

A team of researchers at University College Dublin's Body Lab are recruiting participants for an important study on the menopause transition. This research explores how women experience their bodies and emotions during perimenopause and postmenopause.

Get fitter, think sharper, your brain upgrades with exercise New research from UCL shows fitness doesn’t just help your body, it amplifies your brain’s response to exercise. Key findings: 1. Just 15 minutes of moderate to intense exercise triggers BDNF, a protein that supports new brain cells and connections 2. After 12 weeks of training, participants released significantly MORE BDNF from the same workout 3. Higher fitness (VO2max) = stronger brain boost after exercise 4. Enhanced activity seen in the prefrontal cortex, improving attention and inhibitory control 5. Baseline brain levels stayed the same, but the response to exercise became more powerful What this means: The fitter you get, the more your brain benefits from every single workout Train your body, upgrade your brain 🧠

We could prevent diseases so much better but we haven't learned to listen to when biology whispers long (10 + years) in advance. A key theme in Super Agers, too. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @NathanPriceSci @ @nrappapo @BuckInstitute example below for Type 2 diabetes

Antidepressant withdrawal is not rare. Up to 56% of patients experience withdrawal symptoms when stopping antidepressants. Nearly half of those describe them as severe (Davies & Read, 2019). Withdrawal reflects homeostatic disruption after dose reduction or cessation and is often under-recognised in clinical practice. 1/14 🧵

The biggest thing people will regret in their 50s and 60s is not taking care of their body when they had the chance.

“Longevity medicine” as it applies to your daily life is a scam. Want to live longer? Eat right. Exercise. Sleep properly. Keep BP and blood sugar under control Don’t smoke/drink/do drugs. There are no pills. No supplements. No hacks. No tricks. No secrets. Sorry.

We remain concerned about the inappropriate substitution of doctors with non-medically qualified staff. We’ve launched a new reporting portal to allow doctors and medical students to flag concerns. forms.office.com/pages/response…
