@ChrisMasterjohn Only 14 minutes of MAX heart rate zone (4-5) last week, will work on increasing that and I expect VO2Max will rise significantly.
English
Whoop just estimated VO2Max at 46, pretty happy with that at 42 years old and no intentional work to raise it.
My protocol currently following @ChrisMasterjohn's recommendations, every week (he says 10 days), I do:
-- 1 x hour Z2/3
-- 1 x 30 second max sprint (Assault Bike or Sprinting; I do much more than 30 seconds, typically a HIIT style workout of 5-10 intervals)
-- 1 x mixed cardio session (playing Padel; or Muay Thai class or both)
And of course strength training through Functional Patterns, and a shit ton of play and wrestling with my boy.

I actually think acute intermittent dosing of creatine might be the way to go
Brady Holmer@Brady_H
Holy sh*t. Creatine works (again). And you now only need 10–15 grams. No need to maxx. Creatine can’t lose.

@Cernovich Are you also against regular alternative primary schooling like Montessori?

The smartest and richest people are trying home school co-ops, and are going to church. The "network" of rich kids at private school is druggies and Marxist LARP'ers. Sending a kid to those "elite prep schools" means you don't love them. The kids internalize it. Messes them up.
BowTiedBull.eth - Read Pinned or NGMI@BowTiedBull
The comments are so funny, thinking some $40K private school is going to make a difference. Have they considered if you're smart enough to make $10M you're probably the person who should be teaching anyway? Oh right, they didn't get $10M

The big point, Ben, is the mindset change. The ground beef is my staple. It's eaten no matter what, whether there is a carb or anything else.
I have found it life changing.
I felt like I was at death's door a month ago.
Now I feel like it's 2010 again. And it's better every day.

I have been doing a crazy thing. I was once a popular diet influencer. Paleo Diet. From about 2008. Thousands of posts and comments on my still active blog.
I never connected the dots about staple foods. EVERYONE on earth has staple foods, depending mostly on culture. Bread, rice, beans, etc.
I've recently made 80/20 ground beef my staple food, and to huge effect. And I mean huge.

@FarmerKulak @ChrisMasterjohn It's not future expansion I am worried about; it's the natural rhythm and movement of the bones in the skull over ones life that is impacted, we have no long term data on this.
English
@e_volutionarily @ChrisMasterjohn "I am worried about interfering with the natural suture of the maxilla. After MSE it is no longer a suture but fixed bone that grows between the gap."
Yes, that is unfortunate and unavoidable. So if you need to expand again, that will require a full surgical release.
English
Mitochondrial ATP production fuels the LDL receptor via five classes of ATP-dependent motor proteins that allow it to move cholesterol from your blood into your cells.
Statins increase the production of the LDL receptor and hurt the ability of mitochondria to fuel it.
CoQ10 cannot rescue this because statins also hurt the production of MK-4 and heme a. Heme a is an essential component of complex IV, cytochrome oxidase, and you can’t supplement it.
Ignoring mitochondria and going straight to a statin is like switching out your car for a more fuel efficient vehicle with all the money you needed to buy gas so that now you need to buy gas on a credit card even though you’re getting better mileage.
Going for the statin without thinking about the mitochondria violates the first law of mitochondrial health, which is to put mitochondria first.
Going for the statin before optimizing mitochondria with natural inputs like food, exercise, and sunlight violates the second law of mitochondrial health, which is to put natural exposures first and pharma last.
English
@FarmerKulak @ChrisMasterjohn How are you expanding? I am considering MSE but I am worried about interfering with the natural suture of the maxilla. After MSE it is no longer a suture but fixed bone that grows between the gap.

@e_volutionarily @ChrisMasterjohn Palate expansion used to only work on growing children.
Only recently has new appliances and procedures allowed adults to get Naso-Maxillary Expansion. Which I am pursuing.

@ChrisMasterjohn @FarmerKulak Are or have you ever considered palate expansion?

@spheno_xiphoid Do you think thumb pulling can be helpful for a male in his 40s to loosen up fascia and maybe get some movement in the skull bones? Or the skull is too old and ossified?
English
Again reminding those who may struggle with snoring, mouth breathing, and/or finding proper "tongue posture" to look into the MyoNozzle. There's really no cue or exercise that can replicate what it does.
CO2 + T3 + B1@spheno_xiphoid
I'd highly recommend anyone who's dealt with chronic jaw/tongue problems or snoring to look into the MyoNozzle. This straw attachment can train the swallowing mechanics that are necessary for the integrity of the upper airway and subsequently the entire face, jaw, and neck.

@ScottApogee @Seasonal_Ryan Scott you shared that for or the past 25+ years your labs were Cholesterol 235-ish, HDL 85-90-ish, Trigs 60-ish, A1c 4.6. What about LDL?
Do you consider those optimal numbers?
English
It's been well known for at least 30 years that LDL is NOT "bad cholesterol" and overall cholesterol is not a risk factor for heart disease (unless you're a rabbit, which is where this whole BS idea was born in the 60's).
In fact, several studies show that higher cholesterol leads to a longer life.
The cholesterol scam continues only because it makes $25 billion a year for Big Pharma, by selling the statins--which don't do jack shit in terms of preventing heart disease, as your dad found out.
There are TONS of cardiologists who speak out against statins now, and most are labeled as quacks by Big Pharma watch dogs. After all, Big Pharma doesn't want people to know the truth and Big Pharma doesn't want to lose their super profitable statin money tree.
There's no way I'd ever take a statin. If you want to reduce the risk of heart disease, there are a LOT of things to do, but none of them make Big Pharma or Big Medical money, so most doctors don't talk about these ways.
BTW, there's a lot of recent evidence now showing that taking statins greatly increases the chance of Alzheimer's disease. What a nice bonus! And no statin maker will tell you this. This happens because cholesterol is CRITICAL to brain function, so anything that reduces cholesterol is going to negatively affect the brain.

My dad spent 40 years working for the company that made the drugs that were supposed to save his life.
He was on statins before most people knew what a statin was.
Blood pressure medication.
Cholesterol perfectly controlled on every single lab panel for four decades.
His doctors loved his numbers. He looked great on paper.
Then he got a coronary calcium score.
And the man who helped manufacture the drugs meant to protect his heart landed in the 90th percentile for calcification.
For his age group, at 60 years old.
Let that sink in.
His cholesterol was controlled.
His blood pressure was controlled.
His labs were textbook.
And his arteries told a completely different story.
This is the part that is completely ignored or remains unrealized by medicine ⬇️
The cholesterol hypothesis, the idea that LDL is the primary driver of heart disease and that lowering it prevents cardiac events, was built on population-level data that never fully held up at the individual level. It became pharmaceutical gospel anyway.
Here is what the research is quietly telling us now. Coronary calcium scores are one of the strongest predictors of actual cardiac events we have. Stronger than LDL. Stronger than total cholesterol.
A person with high LDL and a calcium score of zero has a lower near-term risk than someone with “controlled” cholesterol and a score like my dad’s.
Statins lower LDL. That part works. What they were never fully proven to do in primary prevention populations is meaningfully reduce the likelihood of dying from a heart attack. The number needed to treat is not what the commercials imply.
Meanwhile the drivers that actually calcify arteries, chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, oxidative stress, seed oil-driven lipid peroxidation, mineral dysregulation, were never addressed. Not once.
My dad built his career on these drugs.
He trusted them completely.
The labs looked perfect all the way to the scan that changed everything.
Controlled is not the same as protected.

@athenaeumbc @the_culturist_ How do you decide on which translation to use? For example I had not heard of that version of Dante’s Inferno.

If schools and universities refuse to teach the great books of the West, we will do it ourselves.
We started an independent group to study the Great Texts of the Western canon, together.

What should we add to our reading list??

@joe_shipman Nice. I've had great success reducing my sleep apnea/snoring to almost zero with nasal dilator strips (Intake Breathing), lip taping, and obviously losing bodyfat. Also evidence that wind instrument players rarely have apnea, so humming/singing/throat exercises work great too.
English
@e_volutionarily Well, I had sleep apnea which I needed a CPAP machine for. Since I lost the weight the apnea is mostly gone, though I still might use the machine for 2 or 3 hours, if I wake up tired in the middle of the night.

I’ve been strict about sticking to 1500 calories or less a day. I’ve lost 16.8 pounds in 94 days, or 1 1/4 pounds a week. It’s all been fat loss, so that’s 625 calories a day of fat, and I’ve probably averaged 1400 or a bit less.
I’m a bit surprised my break-even isn’t over
English

Warning: you MUST be good at math and literally write your weight and everything you eat down on a slip of paper you carry each day, otherwise it will be much less effective.
I find it’s best to eat 3 times a day, spaced to minimize hunger (e.g. 9am, 2pm, 7pm, sleep 11pm-6am)

A fumaça de alecrim no galinheiro é um método antigo que ainda funciona.
🌿 Antes dos desinfetantes industriais, os camponeses italianos e os seus homólogos franceses, queimavam molhos de alecrim seco no estábulo e no galinheiro uma vez por mês.
Não era um ritual. Era uma técnica.
O alecrim queimado liberta em fase gasosa cânfora, cineol, alfa-pineno e ácido rosmarínico.
Em espaço fechado, estes compostos atingem concentrações letais para os artrópodes: moscas, mosquitos, ácaros, pulgas e piolhos, sem afetar mamíferos e aves, que toleram concentrações muito superiores.
É esta seletividade que tornava a técnica viável num galinheiro cheio.
— O ácaro vermelho (Dermanyssus gallinae) é o parasita mais temido na avicultura.
Esconde-se nas fendas da madeira dos poleiros durante o dia e suga o sangue das galinhas à noite.
Uma infestação forte provoca anemia, queda na postura e mortalidade dos pintos.
Os camponeses fumigavam o galinheiro vazio (galinhas fora), deixando a fumaça penetrar em cada fenda durante uma hora. O efeito durava 2 a 3 semanas.
As moscas dos estábulos; Stomoxys calcitrans e Musca domestica, caíam em poucos minutos.
A fumigação mensal interrompia progressivamente o ciclo reprodutivo.
A tradição não se limitava ao alecrim:
• Sálvia seca: mesmos princípios ativos, usada onde faltava alecrim.
• Zimbro seco: fumaça resinosa eficaz contra moscas e mosquitos, clássica nos estábulos alpinos.
• Lavanda seca: fumigação dos quartos contra percevejos; o linalol queimado tornava as fendas da madeira inabitáveis.
🌿 A fumigação com ervas também tinha um papel de desodorização.
A fumaça aromática mascarava o amoníaco do estrume; um irritante respiratório real para bovinos, suínos e aves.
Reduzir essa concentração melhorava concretamente o bem-estar dos animais.
🌿 Hoje, para quem gere um pequeno galinheiro biológico onde os tratamentos químicos não são desejáveis, queimar um molho de alecrim seco no galinheiro vazio uma vez por mês continua a ser um tratamento complementar contra o ácaro vermelho: sem resíduos, sem contaminação dos ovos e com o custo de um ramo.
