Re: New Rhonda Patrick Podcast

Thanks for the link! I just finished listening to Rhonda's Found My Fitness interview with Valter Longo. I did an 18-hour fast yesterday as a result, and I'm picking up a copy of his book, the Longevity Diet. The list of topics Rhonda covers in the Scott Eastwood interview looks like it will answer ...

Re: Exercise, muscles, mTOR, IGF-1, brain health, and cancer

These bands wrap around the upper arm (near the shoulder) or upper leg/thigh. There's lots of products out there and I think they are mostly based off the Kaatsu compression sleeves which are much fancier/expensive. I picked up a pair of the BFR brand bands. The idea is you can do a lighter version...

Re: NAD/niacinamide

In episode 43 of Chris Masterjohn's podcast, he says that niacin and nicotinamide riboside tax the methylation system. (It's at 48:20 in the recording.) I have been taking the Thorne Niacel product that contains 250 mg of Niagen per capsule, but I'm planning to cut that to 100 mg per day to avoid m...

Curious to know if you are talking about using knee sleeves and similar compression attire or something else to restrict blood flow while working out?

Re: Sleep!

I too am 65 and started HRT a few months ago on a very low dose, Biest 1mg: Pro 40mg. I have not taken hormones before. I soon noticed not feeling as peaceful and calm. Maybe less libido. You did not mention testosterone supplementation. I don't know what others who take bHRT think about this subje...

Re: Supplements are taking over my life LOL!

I didn't measure copper, zinc, magnesium or B1. You might not want to take 30 mg of zinc everyday if you don't know what your copper/zinc balance is. If you are already 1:1, which is what Bredesen recommends, or in surplus (more zinc than copper), taking 30 mg of zinc each day might drive your copp...

Re: Supplements are taking over my life LOL!

I am on 22 daily, 2 of which are for detox so will go away. This is all based on extensive tests from my FMP and she is shooting for Bredesen targets I believe. I figure I am around the $300 range per month using Fullscript (your MD needs to subscribe you), which also provides a 15% discount on eve...

Re: Supplements are taking over my life LOL!

tlovesa: I log everything I eat on cronometer.com. I have used it to educate myself on the nutrient content of foods and replace some of the supplements I was taking with food sources. For instance, instead of supplementing with calcium, which is dangerous, I drink two cups of goat milk and eat an o...

Re: RE: Re: Talking about Diet

Note: I edited this post after reading the thread on Dr. Lyon's higher protein recommendations. xactly I continued this conversation in the ' Dr. Gabriel Lyon - Benefits of High Protein ' thread I'd started so I don't swamp the OP with minutia. I added a paper I found that provides some science tha...

Re: RE: Re: Talking about Diet

I don't know about the too much protein turns to fat comment. This is a really interesting question. The WHO recommends protein intake of 0.8 g per day per gram of bodyweight. I have been roughly using 1g per kg of bodyweight as a guideline, since I do Crossfit 5 days per week. However, Gundry reco...
