New Viome offering

I've had my eye on the Viome test for a while -- they seem to have a unique approach for producing actionable insights, beyond the typical gut health / microbe panel. This afternoon, I received an email about a new offering, they're calling the "Health Intelligence Service" Screen Shot 202...

Re: Plasmalogens- exciting new evidence

Hi everyone, Excellent questions. The metabolic precursor to the blood and membrane plasmalogens (the vinyl ether phospholipid form) is the 1-O-alkyl, 2-acyl glycerol (free hydroxy at sn-3). Detailed structure activity of modulating specific plasmalogen species using specific alkyl-acyl glycerols i...

Re: Plasmalogens- exciting new evidence

Another curious window shopper here as well. If I'm reading this right, the supplement would also provide .6g of omega-3 (phospholipid bound?) The E4 allele seems to have a much better time taking up DHA from phospholipids than TG/EE forms. This could be a very nice combo just for that bioavailable ...

Re: Tracking HRV

I track my HRV regularly using the Oura ring too. I'd love to find some correlations for improving that number. Lately, I've been on a bit of a downtrend, not prioritizing sleep. Another metric I like is PWV. I used to get this off my Withings Scale (Body Cardio), but they removed the feature after ...

Re: Thiamin and protein folding

I've gone back and forth on B1 supplementation myself. I've read that polyphenols lower B1 and low-carb diets tend to be lower in B1. So, I think it makes a lot of sense on paper. What are the thoughts on TKL1 activation and potential cancer risk?

Re: Two month N=1 experiment plus questions: 250 mg NMN + 50 mg pterostilbene

Very interesting data. I've been hesitant to try pterostilbene as I've read that it has a negative effect on lipids / LDL. It doesn't look like this was the case in your experiment.

Re: New Book about Fasting, Exercising, reprogramming cells

I've got my Audible credit at the ready! Now, when do we get to read Peter Attia's thoughts on similar matters?
