Re: Another negative lipid profile trend

You doubled your testosterone, from borderline low(ish) to solidly in the "normal limits"?????? wow. I'll need to re-read your thread. But, any idea how/why this increased so much? Not sure Tom. I did take TestoFuel for 4 months last year but discontinued in August as I didn't feel any di...

Re: Powerlifting?

Alexis I'm 63 and weight train 3X per week. I also mix in various types of cardio as I have time. One session is usually deadlifts and squats. I don't try to max out but get in 3 sets of 8 to 10 reps with good form after some warm up. Pretty standard. Longevity experts like Dr. Peter Attia recommend...

Re: Another negative lipid profile trend

Well I obtained my lab results (including NMR tests for the 1st time). A couple of markers have improved and a number mostly line up with my home testing results. Here I compare with lab results taken 1 year ago and the most recent home testing results: ---------------4/13/17 (lab)-----------3/7/18 ...

Re: Another negative lipid profile trend

Thanks all for your thoughts and comments. I think this saturated vs. unsaturated fat debate is as "clear as mud" with arguments on both sides. I believe that individual responses will also differ, and although ApoE 4 status (I'm 3/4) is a big factor, my guess is that other polymorphisms a...

Another negative lipid profile trend

Well I'm going to join the chorus on this. I am also somewhat discouraged over the negative trends in my lipid profile. 1/22/17 is baseline. Mid July 2017 I started to cut my calories to lose weight. October 1st 2017 I began intermittent fasting skipping breakfast and eating 2 meals/day. Mid January...

Re: Associations of protein and fiber with Amyloid-β

The study summary: Mice and humans with growth hormone receptor/IGF-1 deficiencies display major reductions in age-related diseases. Because protein restriction reduces GHR-IGF-1 activity, we examined links between protein intake and mortality. Respondents aged 50–65 reporting high protein intake ha...

Re: Associations of protein and fiber with Amyloid-β

Does he offer any explanation for the increased protein for those over 65? Longo's citation for his position on a different level of protein consumption with the dividing line at 65 is an epidemiological study of six thousand Americans he was involved with. The footnote is: M. Levine et al. and VD ...

Re: Meditative living and "flow"

Two books that I can highly recommend on Stoicism are the classic "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius and "The Daily Stoic" by Ryan Holiday and Stephen Hanselman. That later provides "366 Meditations on Wisdom, Perseverance, and the Art of Living", one for each day of the ...

Re: Nicotine/Cannabis/Keto Bread? A collection of questions.

How many days would you recommend a week? I know doing squats, deadlifts etc you hit alot of the major muscle groups so wouldn't be lifting everyday? I used to train quite a bit, getting up to about 170lbs in weight. My goals are a little less superficial now though :lol: I'm guessing I should be a...

Re: Nicotine/Cannabis/Keto Bread? A collection of questions.

6. I'm 31, about 5'9 and 135-140lbs, how important is for me to put on some weight/muscle? I typically eat one meal a day or eat within a 3-4 hour time frame but sometime have bulletproof coffee in the morning. I think putting on some muscle is quite important. One benefit as I understand it is that...
