It is published, replicated, mechanistically explained — and almost never discussed at your doctor’s appointment. If you’ve been told that type 2 diabetes is a chronic, progressive disease thatContinue reading “The Cure…”

If lowering blood glucose…
If lowering blood glucose were the cure for type 2 diabetes, the patients in the trial that lowered it the most would have lived the longest. The trial was stopped because the opposite happened. In 2008, a research team published the results of one of the largest, most carefully designed, and most expensive randomized controlledContinue reading “If lowering blood glucose…”

Your Brain and Cholesterol
Your brain is 2% of your body weight and holds nearly a quarter of your body’s total cholesterol. Driving that number toward the floor has consequences — and the data on mood, cognition, and statin side effects in active people is some of the most under-discussed evidence in modern medicine. The first post in thisContinue reading “Your Brain and Cholesterol”
The Truth about Cholesterol
Three flagged numbers on my lipid panel — and the four numbers on the same panel that prove I’m in excellent metabolic health. This is my actual lipid panel, drawn at age 54.

We are winning.” That sentence is true. It’s also one of the most misleading things in modern medicine. What actually happened Let’s start with the numbers,Continue reading “We are not truly winning the war… heart disease”
Heart Disease Hitting Younger and Younger
You’ve probably been told heart disease is something to worry about later. After 60. After 50, if you’re being safe. Definitely not in your 20s, 30s, or early 40s. That story is outdated, and the data is loud about it. According to the American College of Cardiology, the heart attack rate in adults under 40Continue reading “Heart Disease Hitting Younger and Younger”
