Re: Gundry internet ads

Ugh, Gundry. I lost respect for him when I stumbled on his internet ad for a skin-care product. Yes, he has a line of skin care products: Gundry MD. So he's also a dermatologist? The ad was for his age-spot remover. I read the reviews on Amazon, which were terrible. I can't find it there now; maybe...

Peter Attia podcast - Advancing Alzheimers disease treatment

Interesting podcast with Professor of Neuroscience and Pharmacology & Toxicology. Methylene Blue coming up again as a treatment. A bold statement by him stating that "Amyloid Plaques are not causally related to late-onset Alzheimers at all" . https://peterattiamd.com/franciscogonzalezl...

Re: Anybody interested in a lipid chat with Dave Feldman?

What I find puzzling is the "need" for someone to be 100% right or the tone against certain strategies, especially a topic as complex as lipids. I can certainly see some frustration when one ultimately doesn't have any risk factors and is trying to choose the right path, but if you do have...

Re: Sterol Absorption and synthesis

Did you ever test your absorption of sterols? If sitosterol is an issue (as it is for many E4s) seems like ezetimibe alone might be enough. :idea: No I didnt as to me the end result was important, regardless of whether I was or was not. Having said that though I am going to test on statin therapy t...

Re: Sterol Absorption and synthesis

@JimBG No I did not test, but I have a very exaggerated response to diet in a short period of time, so presume I am. Regardless, from a brain health perspective, the Zetia allows me to use a lower dose statin to achieve a good lipid profile. I use 5mg Rosuvastatin every day with 10mg Zetia every oth...

Re: Sterol Absorption and synthesis

@Julie I think Dayspring makes the case that a) phytosterol supplementation is not good versus plant ingestion which is ok. b) only if you are a hyperabsorber, would potentially ingesting more plant sterols be a potential problem. I assume this to mean if you are NOT a hyperabsorber, your body would...

Re: Peter Attia Fast

Yes, that was what I referred to in my original post. Prior to that I’m not sure he’s ever mentioned he was on medication.

Re: Peter Attia Fast

In all his talks, articles, I’ve never once seen him mention that he takes anything. I would probably say he is one of the most objective physicians I’ve ever followed.
