Re: Diet confusion

That is an article about a study without a link to the actual study. And without being able to read the actual study, the article means nothing. Good point. I should probably have referenced books on this subject instead, such as Valter Longo's The Longevity Diet and Dan Buettner's The Blue Zones ....

Re: Diet confusion

Can someone explain to me why animal protein is considered bad here? There are several locations around the world where people live longer, healthier lives than most. These are called "Blue Zones." One of the defining dietary characteristics of people living in Blue Zones is low consumpti...

Re: Change in Bredesen practitioner access MPI website

As far as what happens if you want to sign up to work with a physician, I'm clueless. Does anybody else know? Could that be where the $75 per month comes in? I signed up for the ReCODE Report (MPI Cognition) website last September, before the AHNP acquisition. It required a 12-month commitment of $...

Re: Sleep Tracker

Although the minor (5%) T (A) allele of the ADA gene is associated with more deep sleep, it has both positive and negative aspects and might be worth checking out when setting sleep goals... People get less deep sleep as they age, decreasing from an average of 17% at age 20 to 12% at age 70... This...

Re: Coffee Questions

I checked my 23AndMe data, but unfortunately most of these SNPs aren't listed. I did find a TT for rs701492, though, which is a bad variation. Do you know of a DNA test that provides the other SNPs? Perhaps in future I might want to look into GAD1 more thoroughly. Despite the lack of information, I...

Re: Peter Attia Fast

Interesting! I haven’t listened, only read show notes. Does he ever go into his decision making re. atorvastatin and metformin? I think Peter Attia is taking metformin to suppress TOR. I heard him discussing it on a Tim Ferriss podcast from Easter Island that also included David Sabatini, the resea...

Re: Book or Website Meal Plan Recommendation

Are there any books or websites that provide a recommended meal plan - not just guidelines - that is fairly simple to follow? You might want to consider "The Longevity Diet," by Valter Longo. The guidelines are straightforward, and he provides some meal plans at the back to get started. T...

Re: Coffee Questions

Thanks xactly! I'll definitely look into Chris Masterjohn's resources. My mom and I both have COMT and MTHFR mutations. Rainbow: If you are prone to anxiety, you might also want to take a look at the status of a gene called GAD1. The enzyme produces from the GAD1 blueprint, glutamate decarboxylase,...

Re: Sleep!

One technique for improving sleep that I am having some success with -- "sleep consolidation". I hadn't heard about this before. I was told to count up the total hours of sleep I got the night before. Of course you usually have to guess a little if you're like me. But I came up with 5.5 o...
