I hope you had a chance to read the article I referred you to on Tuesday; you can still read it by clicking on this link. For the record, I’m not a fan of the AG1 product. In my opinion, supplements should not mix herbals from medicinal plants with vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals. That aside, […]
As I said when I began this arc, the key point is that whether intentional or as the result of challenges such as joint replacement, the body’s adaptation to repair and growth takes time. This week, I’m going to look at adaptation related to weight loss and weight maintenance. No matter how we choose to […]
I can’t think of a better example of positive adaptation than exercise. Whether it’s a sport skill, increasing strength, or improving cardiovascular fitness, exercise uses the adaptation principles; the difference is that it’s an intentional act instead of a response to a physical challenge. As an example, let’s use walking or running to improve the […]
In this Memo arc, I’m going to lay the foundation to support my opinion that obesity is a man-made disease. I’m adding this idea to that opinion: reducing body weight and maintaining the weight loss can occur with man-made solutions. Actually, it’s utilizing one mechanism we often overlook that the body uses all the time: […]
In a podcast about GLP-1 receptor agonists and several new medications that are under development, the expert was a researcher on the cutting edge of what these peptides can do for weight loss. A couple of things she said didn’t sit right. One was that obesity is a disease of genetic tendencies to store fat […]
I left you with some questions I had to ponder and have gotten a couple more. Then I’ll leave you with the answer I posed to my ocular surgeon. Glaucoma Glaucoma is not just a single ocular disease; there are several types. Some are related to how well the eyes drain fluid; some drain slowly […]
No, it’s not like when Phoebe saw Monica and Chandler kissing on Friends—but it is rather dramatic. Let me recap my vision story. My dad died at 41, so I have no info from him or his family. My grandmother had cataracts removed when she was about 70. It led to a decline in her […]
I got an email from a long-time reader about a recently published study comparing BMI calculated from height and weight with percent body fat calculated via Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry commonly called DEXA. The objective of the study was to see if BMI was accurate in predicting the differences between underweight, normal weight, and several […]
I’m back! The cataract surgery on the second eye was successful; there’s one more exam to make sure everything is healing properly. Then it’s a matter of the full recovery to get my reading vision back to normal. But for everything besides that, it’s a whole new world. The colors are more vivid and I […]
Paula mentioned in passing that she had read about a hamburger cereal. I just shook my head, and then it really hit me: a hamburger cereal? I had to check it out. Turns out there is a “cereal” out there that contains 20 grams of protein from dehydrated ground beef per ½ cup serving. The […]
