RFK on your podcast?
Considering Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will be part of the future presidential team would you be interested in inviting him on your podcast to discuss issues with drug safety tests, dedicating more resources to practical research in humans? What is his vision and steps on making America Healthy Again? Thank you
Cardio zone for low VO2max.
According to my wearable device, my VO2max is 24. My goal is to get it above 50. Rationale: I remember the coined saying “50 over 50” on an episode. I am currently doing zone 4 (5?) for 150 minutes weekly. Method: staimaster. I target my HR to go to low 170s. If I hit 180 HR, I take it down a notch. If I hit high 160s, I take it up a notch. Rationale for HR target: 220 minus 44 is 176. Also the stairmaster is easier in my knees & I don’t get “shin splints” like I do from jogging or sprint intervals. My question: would zone 2 cardio, 150 minutes weekly, like HLP discussed, be better at increasing VO2max than the aforementioned stairmaster method? On a side note, maybe sprint intervals and the shin splints that go along with sprinting may help prevent osteopenia? And also to increase VO2max, better than stairmaster? Maybe it’d be better to suck up the pain from shin splints, to prevent osteopenia, if not already started at age 44.
Antibiotic resistance
May you consider an episode be about antibiotic resistance as it pertains to public health? Maybe a guest speaker who works in the field of infectious diseases or is an expert in anti-infectives? Is there much or enough investment in the development of gram-negative antibiotics, or no? If not, is it because return-on-investment isn’t that much?
