And if you're forced to eat pork or chicken fed a high PUFA diet, it's best to eat the lean cuts. But the fattier cuts and the skin are the best parts of those animals. It's a tragedy.

I realize this wasn't directed at me, but my understanding is that that fat in avocados is mostly monounsaturated fat, with about 10% polyunsaturated fat. In a person who hasn't eaten a heavy PUFA diet, it would be fine. It's on par with olive oil. If a person is looking to lower PUFA stores...

On Bezos, we know he is on Testosterone Optimization Therapy of some kind. So he has some insight into the unfortunate reality of modern living immersed in endocrine disrupting hormones.

You don't think there is a political, climate-based initiative to get people to eat a plant-based diet? That seems like sophistry to me. A person can't consume any mainstream news without being inundated with propaganda about the dangers of eating animals. Here's an example of the propaganda...

Gman86, I think you know where I stand on this. Yes, IMO avoid all fish oil supplements. But not all seafood. Shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, oysters, squid, mussels and other shellfish are low PUFA. They are fine. I do believe cold-weather fatty fish (high in Omega 3s) should be avoided. Cod...

I hear you. If your triglycerides are low and HbA1c is low, you're doing lots of things right, which is most important. Of course there could be confounders involved. That said, the video is really one of three, and it's a fairly deep dive. Certainly the anti-Omega 3 and 6 view is by far a...

I don't intend to push my views on anyone, but I am now in the camp that there are no benefits to consuming Omega 3s or Omega 6s at all, whether in fish or fish oil supplements. For more on that view, I can suggest three episodes from Jay Feldman's Energy Balance podcast, starting at Ep. 105.

If you haven't already you should get genetic testing and run the results through NutraHacker and Prometheas. At this stage, i would suggest you consider going for whole genome sequencing. Prices are under $500. We're entering a revolution for whole genome testing and it's taking about 10-12...

Agree. I stopped supplementing zinc a long time ago, except as with an acute viral infection maybe once a year. My zinc levels are consistently within normal range, with copper and ceruloplasmin being low, as in very low normal or out of range low. Of course that is serum concentration vs...

@Cado, you are an interesting guy. Clearly knowledgeable. I realize blood serum copper levels don't speak to tissue saturations. But what about low serum copper levels combined with low ceruloplasmin levels? I ask because that's my situation. And full gene sequencing reveals I am...

I was a long time user of Metoprolol Succinate in the 100 to 150 mg range. Metoprolol is a cardioselective beta blocker, so it is definitely a positive for those concerned about more systemic effects (relaxing of the smooth muscle, causing breathing difficulties in those who have asthma or...

You just abstracted the abstract! Even shorter.

Is it improper to like a post about a study if you only read the abstract? Or is it ok as long as you don't admit you only read the abstract?

I hear you. Of course beef is the primary protein in our household. But I am in a family of five, and I will have to pay for a divorce if we only eat beef. I cannot afford that.

Two reasons that you likely already know. The first is that it is half the cost of GH if using a compounding pharmacy with a proper script. And it can be as low as 1/4 of the cost if you are going with "research only" peptides. The second reason is that if you have pituitary function, then...

Yes. My focus was originally on eliminating the non-Omega 3 PUFAs, but I'm going for everything, including all Omega 3s and Omega 6s. What I have discovered is that consumption of pork and chicken is responsible for a significant amount of my current PUFA intake due to modern farming...

Yes, I would fall in that category. Visible VAT reduction relatively quickly - I believe in the 15-18% range anticipated. 1mg at night, six nights on, one off since middle of last year. Continue to work out - barbell lifts. Weight on the scale is virtually unchanged, and I assume there is...

I realize it is a view not universally shared, but here is Morley Robbins about ferritin: "My take on reflecting upon my conversation with Dr. Kell, as well as after reading this stunner of an article: Ferritin does not belong in the serum, it should only be found inside the cell where it does...

Thank you, Systemlord. My ferritin was 400 15 months ago. It's under 30 now, and I feel much better.

I understand many posters are concerned about low Ferritin. Is there a link to a post on here that explains that rationale? Because to me, a ferritin of 58 is great. The Ray Peat folks, Ivor Cummins, Dr. Eugene Weinberg, and Mercola all concur that high ferritin is indicative of serious...

And I realized my answer did not fit your criteria of available equipment. Under those constraints, one suggestion would be Mark Sisson's Primal Fitness. But I'm partial to the barbell lifts, even if that means buying some equipment.

I am new here. I'm sure everyone has many great suggestions that work. But you couldn't go wrong with Starting Strength. That would be Mark Rippetoe's program teaching the basic compound lifts: low bar squat, press, bench press, and deadlift. It is a 3-workout per week program. At 5'10"...

He's a smart doctor, but his "better living through chemistry" approach assumes perfect knowledge. The unintended adverse actions of some of those meds--and the combinations-- certainly suggest additional unknown risk. He doesn't take them, but he mentioned Calcium Channel Blockers. My...

drpub2112 This is a great post. I think you are spot on. Increased serotonin is central to many health problems. But with a slow MAO-A gene, exogenous T effectively results in an imbalance of serotonin to dopamine. Both go up on T administration, but serotonin remains high in those with the...
