Re: Qs re: homocysteine-lowering vitamins

Chris Masterjohn has written a few posts on methylation, where Glycine / Collagen and Creatine seem like useful supplements. Right now, I just take Creatine. https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/2017/08/12/living-with-mthfr/ apod: Thanks so much for referencing this podcast with Chris Masterjohn. Like SG...

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

Tincup: I'll read Patrick McKeown's book. I think it will benefit me to increase my breathing center's tolerance of serum CO2. I have always felt like my need for oxygen ramps up faster and to a greater degree than others I'm working out with.

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

Tincup: Very cool! Several of my CrossFit coaches have stressed breathing only through the nose. When I talked with one about running pace, he said "try to run at a pace that will still allow you to breathe through your nose." I think there are also some cells in the sinus cavity that pick...

Ha! I did mean mcg. I’ll edit the post to correct that error. :)

SSRIs might decrease amyloid plaques

Kurt: I listened to several podcasts with Dr. Kirk Parsley, a former US Navy Seal who focuses on treating sleep disorders. If I remember correctly, he said that people who are depressed can have trouble falling asleep, while people who are anxious have trouble staying asleep. He recommends several s...

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

TheresaB: My concern about Gundry's position is his statement "the last thing ApoE4s should be doing is Cross Fit.” That indicates to me that Dr. Gundry does not have a well-informed position on CrossFit. It's like seeing patients who have heart damage from running ultramarathons and saying &qu...

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

Stavia and apod: Thanks for your posts. Perhaps Dr. Gundry has seen patients who have taken CrossFit to extremes, doing workouts equivalent to running marathons. I pace my WODs the way you do, Stavia. The coaches I’ve worked with have all said you should time cap (limit) a WOD to 40 minutes. I do th...

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

This is a fascinating thread, but it leaves me with lots of questions. I am 66 and have been doing CrossFit for about five years. The typical CrossFit workout is 15 to 20 minutes of warming up, some type of strength exercise, then what is called a metabolic conditioning (Metcon) session, which is no...

Re: Can we talk about coffee creamer?

On workout days I make a smoothie I call “Vegan Buzz.” I add two shots of espresso to the blender with 1 cup nondairy milk, 2 tbsp almond butter, 5 g creatine, 1/2 cup blueberries, homemade protein powder, 2 tbsp cocoa and 1/8 to 1/4 tsp stevia,

Can we talk about coffee creamer?

I'd love to hear what you all do. Coffee drinkers? I make cashew cream for the folks in my house who like cream in their coffee. Rinse 1 cup of whole raw organic cashews and throw them in a high speed blender with 3 cups of water for a minute or two. Bottle and enjoy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapa...
