"I never heard a doctor recommend this instead of drugs before" My patient was stunned during our consultation. My prescription? - Push harder in training - Prioritize quality sleep - Fuel your body right - Drink more water Would you apply this if your doc recommended it?

@davidasinclair @JoinLifespan Exciting following this, and seeing how we can translate it into improving people's lives on a daily basis.

Thank you for waiting patiently. Lifespan Podcast is back! I can’t wait to show you what else we’ve created @joinlifespan

@realDaveFeldman Excited to hear this for us who couldn't get to a screening

🚨🚨🚨It's Official🚨🚨🚨 Mark your calendars! The Cholesterol Code documentary drops April 17th, 2026 on Amazon

@WallStreetMav @AI_ImpactReport It’s not necessary at all, no need to overcomplicate If you’re losing weight and getting to where you want to be that’s what you want anyways. The most important thing is to start strength training now💪🏽

@AI_ImpactReport I need to do that more. Pee on those keto strips early in the morning.

I have been informed by X experts that my diet is not keto, but is actually carnivore. Meat, fish and eggs only, not doing anything else. Keto diet allows for some veggies like broccoli.

@WallStreetMav I've seen anecdotal evidence of this a few times. We know that diet soda can influence the gut microbiome and make you hungrier. So maybe it was easier for you to curb those hunger signals with water and iced tea I like sparkling water for the same effect

Initially when I started the keto diet, I was still drinking some diet soda (no carb). No change in weight loss. As soon as I cut the diet soda and switched to only water and unsweetened iced tea, the weight started coming off quickly.

@davidasinclair Zone 2 cardio maxxing helps with this in an easy way

Higher resting heart rate predicts shorter lifespan. Train consistently.

@robertlufkinmd The science is never settled is probably the only thing that’s settled in science

Science is never settled. Or is it?

@paulsaladinomd Impressive with both >40% energy from protein and clean ingredients

We just cooked the protein bar industry. 🔥 Most are candy bars in disguise: seed oils, gums, fake sweeteners, sugar. Not @eatlineage. New Protein Bar: <200 cal 20g grass-fed whey + collagen 100% real food—no BS Tastes incredible 🍫 Who's in?

@realDaveFeldman What about all of your friends on the other side of the pond not in the supported countries?😉

We premiered The Cholesterol Code last night -- and the reception was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Want to see it yourself?... 👇

@brightstartsol @ElieJarrougeMD Gynecomastia, decreased libido and erectile function, loss of muscle mass, hyperglycemia, and joint and muscle pain just to mention a few.

62-year-old patient comes in for a second opinion. Total cholesterol: 278 mg/dl LDL: 192 mg/dl 😱 His primary doctor panicked and shipped him off to a cardiologist. Cardiologist wants a statin and a plant-based diet. I looked at the full picture and here is what I found… 🧵

@ElieJarrougeMD Good stuff. How often, if ever, do you redo a CAC?

Definitely not getting a Michelin star for this Luckily I’m just a doctor who cares about physical performance

Sundays are for church ✝️

3/ A story from a client: Two weeks in Sardinia. Day three back at work he feels worse than before he left. Rest revealed the baseline. Without adrenaline holding him up, he felt how empty the tank was. Full breakdown: why it happens, the 5 warning signs, and why rest won't fix it: youtu.be/Y-Uu3UH9FWs

2/ Two hormonal axes compete for the same upstream resources. Stress axis (HPA) vs performance axis (HPG). When one is chronically elevated, the body deprioritises the other. It's compound interest in reverse.

To celebrate I’m back on X, I’ve decided to share something I see a lot of men go through in their 40s as an MD in the male hormonal space Most men come to me and say "I'm doing everything right and still feel like shit" Here's why that happens after 40 🧵

@HenryCrochemore artery

$62k in 18 days from an ad that looks like a cartoon glass of juice walking through clogged arteries no real actors no stock doctor footage no boring explainer slides just a visual story arteries blocked like concrete red blood cells stuck pressure building then the animated drink steps in cracks the blockage flow restored you understand the problem in one second that’s why these animated object ads convert they turn abstract health concepts into something you can see no heavy claims no long explanations just visual cause → visual solution education disguised as entertainment rt + comment “artery” and i’ll send the structure (follow for dm)

@GoingParabolic Load up on electrolytes, preferably two hours before the gym. I also prefer to do lighter weight and more reps when I’ve fasted for 72 hours and more.

Water / coffee only fast since Wednesday. Hitting the gym to do legs. This will be interesting. Any suggestions?

Wow, steak & eggs with coffee in the morning really feels like a powerup!
