What I mean by that is: When I take c8 MCT with my coffee or tea, my brain gets a boost of energy. It gives me a noticeable boost in cognitive performance. My understanding is that this saturated fat is processed differently than others. i.e. Unlike other fats, c8 does not go through the lymph syst...

I'm a mouth breather for a different reason but never considered taping.... I've taped for 8 or 9 years. I did an inadvertent experiment a few years . I went sleep with a Polar H10 beat to beat recording heart rate monitor on connected to a recording app. These are graphs of heart rate vs. time tha...

-Have you ever measured your homocysteine? That's an important biomarker to track as it's associated with cognitive decline, brain atrophy, white matter hyper intensities, etc. Most of us end up needing to supplement B-12, folate and B6 (as P5P). Below is a quote homocysteine from "Breaking Al...

Here is a niacin case study on Lp(a) Also, Gundry has me take Amla for my mildly elevated Lp(a) . It mildly reduces Lp(a) and keeps my serum results in the good zone. From a transcript of me talking to him about this: Me: Okay. Okay, the thing that's maybe not tooth related is the, which is always ...

What also makes me sad is the lifestyle changes I know I’m gonna have to make in order to combat this. I live in Boston with my best friends! We’re in the primes of our lives! We like to go out and get drinks and eat unhealthy and occasionally share a cigarette. This is how I’ve spent the last six ...

I think I recall that the lipidologist Thomas Dayspring recommends a desmosterol test before putting Apo E4's on statins. Here is Dayspring's X post on the topic. Low desmosterol, a biomarker related to cholesterol synthesis & low levels predict AD. When using statins at any dose in patients wi...

Once the doctor and I get the calcium score we can have a more informed conversation about statins. My biggest questions are: - What more can I do with diet? Avoid processed foods, minimize saturated fat. Gundry likes perilla seed oil (and he likes Dr. Adorable brand on Amazon). He mentions a speci...

Thank you! Please share who you think is the best ablating electrophysiologist? The best ablating EP is Andrea Natale in Austin. As you might expect, it will take a while to get a consult and to schedule an ablation. This is a very good afib message board. If you wonder why I've suggested Dr. Natal...

Does anyone who follows brendensen have recommendations on treating afib? Is medication or ablation better? I know statins are a definite no for 4/4. Statins won't treat afib, no matter what. Afib is an electrical heart problem, statins are designed to treat the plumbing. I've had afib for 3.5 mont...

T, thanks. That's what I thought. I confess my kitchen is filled with blue stains, but I think I now know how to put the powder in capsules carefully. It seems like the easiest approach, for me at least. My next question is about getting non-contaminated MB. I got a chemist friend to test what I us...
