I never know anyone at the party, but I'm always the host - Philadelphia sports raised - My thoughts aren't usually my own.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Heart disease is the #1 killer. If you’re going to focus on one thing, this is it. My bloodwork is below. ApoB is the North Star metric. Many docs say it’s the only thing that matters. There is 1 ApoB protein attached to each bunch of cholesterol (fat) as it travels through the blood. Know and control this number. My ApoB is in the top 1% of all humans. Under 50 is ideal. Over 70 is bad. Up near 90 or higher and you are on a fast track to heart disease. Average doctor will send you on your way at these numbers and tell you to come back when you have a heart attack. Most won’t even include it in bloodwork. The system is broken. My LDL is top 5%. Over 80 is bad. Over 100 is really bad. My triglycerides are optimal. Under 100 is good. Over 120 or so is bad. But I’m part of the 20% of humans with high Lipo(a). It’s genetic. 49 is very bad and there is nothing I can do about it with diet or lifestyle. This increases risk in all areas. And pharmacology cant impact it. It’s why my heart contrast scan showed plaque buildup already. So what do I do? Hyper focus on the others. Make sure ApoB is very low around 40. Work on LDL and triglycerides more. Workout. Get heart rate up above 120 for 120 minutes or more per week. Zone 2 is great for heart health. I’m fasting for 72 hours 1x a quarter. No calories. This lets my body enter a deep state of autophagy and my good cells eat my bad cells. My body consumes some of the soft plaque on the walls of my arteries. This also helps reduce my cancer risk because my healthy cells eat my B cells and unhealthy cells that are more likely to turn into cancer. I recently started Repatha - peptide that creates more receptors on the outside of my liver that pull these proteins out of my blood. It’s expensive at $550 a month because my insurance won’t cover it. Statins are great options for a lot of people. Cheap and effective. Some side effects. The bottom line: If you don’t know these numbers, you are foolish! Don’t wait until you have a heart problem.

It wouldn’t necessarily. If you have hdhp, but you are limited now and where you can spend your HSA, it could cost you more And HSA without an automatic ability to shop for the best price and have it count against your deductible, just mean the ins company gets your premium and a huge profit off the 10k you have to spend before they have to spend may of your premiums

@ExiledShadows27 @EaglesStrictly Easy for him to say that, since he’s away right now. I bet if he was on the eagles of Steelers he’d also say “I love representing my state” like he did when he was at PSU.

@EaglesStrictly It's moot. Micah doesn't wanna come here. He already said he doesn't because he spent his entire life in Pennsylvania and wants to move on from home.

Gemini Earn Redemption Mission
what's your vote going to be? 2/3 returned. YES or NO? We're voting NO, 100% returned plus interest. @Gemini what about the $$ you promised to kick in, we were hoping for 90% from Genesis and around 10% from ya'll.
