A calcium score of zero is one of the most reassuring numbers in cardiology. A new study just showed what it actually buys you in untreated, low-risk adults. Over 5 years their plaque roughly doubled— almost all the soft kind a scan can't see. Zero isn't a clean bill of health. 🧵

Because of supply and demand, it's very difficult for media (social and otherwise) to show you what you SHOULD be looking at (content that's wholesome, psychologically supportive rather than exhausting, and informative rather than illusory) vs. what you WANT to see (cause you keep clicking on the same toxic shit!). But in the near future, I think personal assistant AI's can help curate media that's actually good for you if you let them, relieving your burden of having to filter and fight your desires. I think this will be an amazing thing, and end up solving the massive problems of toxic content on socials and in traditional media.

area man can’t enjoy vacay he provides a great example of CGM use generating noise—not signal—in a person wo diabetes Bryan obsesses over what he calls a glucose spike after eating bread it’s a glucose excursion & it demonstrates insulin sensitivity. it doesn’t generate hunger—if it did, GLP-1s would not work
I experienced a huge spike in food noise when in Australia. The desire to eat continuously even though I wasn't hungry, and even full. The seven time zone shift shocked my circadian rhythm which then altered my hunger hormones. Leptin stopped signaling that I had enough stored energy. Ghrelin ran elevated all day instead of only before meals. Blood glucose spikes from bread and carbs (that I ate to be in family ritual) triggered emergency hunger signals in my brain Sleep deprivation weakened my prefrontal cortex's ability to override the urge. Making me feel helpless and controlled by impulse. That noise has been absent for years as I've dialed in habits of sleep, nutrition and exercise. It reminded me how burdensome and debilitating the food rumination noise is. How it can feel like food is the only thing the brain can focus on, edging out all other life priorities. I imagined traveling back in time to when I was helpless to control my eating and being presented with a miracle drug like a GLP-1 which simply flips the switch to turn off the noise. This imagination also filled me with excitement about the future. If we can turn off food noise, what if we could turn off negative self talk, hedonism, jealously, status comparisons, catastrophizing and boredom. What if we became effectively immune to companies hijacking our dopamine? Tricking us into self destructive habits while they profit. I have unabashed excitement for the future because I think this is the inevitable frontier. That pessimism is being non-imaginative. That is not to say that bad things won't happen or that we won't be challenged by the pace of change, but it is to say that conscious life is the most precious gift the galaxy has bestowed and it's our opportunity and duty to carry it forward.

The Guardian has commissioned a man to write about why he should be allowed to use women’s single sex spaces. ‘We need to restore our rights,’ he claims - as if this was ever lawful. He also claims women ‘welcomed ‘him into their single sex spaces. Well not this one, Sunshine. The majority of women and girls want single sex spaces. And those women who ‘welcomed’ you into their spaces cannot consent on behalf of other women. So much gaslighting. Link to read article in comments 👇

Nothing gets through to those indoctrinated with the Carbohydrate-Insulin gospel as espoused by Taubes, Noakes, Fung, Tro and other grifting non-experts and cult leaders.
There are human studies where researchers gave people with obesity drugs that suppressed insulin secretion They didn't lose weight

More wellness detox bullshit from another bullshit merchant. So much utter nonsense out there from people trying to grift….
An average person is carrying around 8-25 pounds of mucoid plaque in their intestines. When my clients ask me, "What’s one of the biggest things blocking my detox journey?", I always tell them to get rid of this. My full protocol: (1/13)

This is the most depressing and pathetic thing I’ve ever seen…the most fragile and gullible men I’ve ever seen. Honestly, grow up and shed these embarrassing delusions. You think your grandchildren would be glad to see you behave like this and follow this egomaniac moron?
I still cannot fathom that people pay bro $125,000 to join his brotherhood. We live in a simulation.

This is important. He's almost entirely wrong, but not quite. Cortisol release is intensity-dependent. While work >~60% VO2max increases cortisol, work <50-60% VO2max decreases cortisol below baseline levels. That is, it's a de-stressor that stabilizes your metabolism. In other words, the metabolic health of the athlete has a lot to do with how they train & how much of it is at moderate-high intensities.
Endurance athletes are building the very disease they think they're outrunning. Distance runners and cyclists accumulate visceral fat, heart fat, and muscle fat while believing their exercise protects them. Their cortisol remains too high for too long and contributes to all sorts of dysfunction.

Walking (ie 12-20k steps per day) really improves my sleep and overnight HRV, according to Garmin. HR is around 105 during the walking, solid zone0 or zone1. Seems to be working nicely….

Baker looks absolutely fried. His eyes have a bleary, tired and mini-pupil look in people I’ve seen who are burned out/depressed. A good glug of fresh orange juice with his next steak would do him wonders.
This video gave me brain damage…not carnivore!!

The calorie burning power of incline treadmill walking with a pack. Based on a 90kg male. A nice way to hit z1-2 and burn a few extra cals. Hope @Alan_Couzens would approve… Use ChatGPT to make one for other bodyweights. This plus Netflix good for wet UK days!

There are three main groups here... The first is the person who trains hard in the gym, squats heavy, looks strong, but has never invested in their aerobic base. Their VO2max is low (but higher than sedentary folks), their resting lactate is probably high, and their metabolic profile has more in common with a sedentary person than their physique would suggest-- but their curves are still right of truly sedentary people. The presence of large, strong muscles does not imply that the muscle respires well.

WATCH: Taiwanese grandmothers aged 89 and 91 train at the gym. An increasing number of elderly people in Taiwan’s super-aged society are hitting the gym to stay healthy, both physically and mentally.
