Meals Eating Out

If you don’t control the menu and there’s no “grassfed” / “wild caught” option - what do you lean towards ? Salmon/Shrimp or because you don’t know the source - do you prefer a meat option? For example if you’re ordering at a wedding. Thanks !!!

application of ice to acute and chronic injury

For decades we have understood the application of ice to musculoskeletal injury was indicated for treatment. Primarily for the reduction of cellular metabolism to perhaps slow secondary cell death. What is the most up-to-date science on the application of ice to both acute and chronic inflammation?

Oura Ring Tells Me I Sleep Terribly!

My Oura Ring always tells me I get <1hr of REM sleep each night and at best, a 78/100 rating. I am in bed 8 hours a night, wear blue light glasses, don't eat close to bed, take magnesium, l-theanine etc. Why are my numbers always low?

Maintaining VO2 Max in the off-season

My main form of fitness is long-distance cycling, and here in Canada, I only get out about 7-8 months of the year. In the off-season, my VO2 Max will decrease by about 15-20%, and I will spend a month or more in the spring getting it back to where I was before improving upon it. I'm not a fan of public gyms, but I maintain other forms of fitness in the winter months, such as walks, calisthenics and the periodic run. Are there any habits outside of daily exercise and adequate sleep that will aid in maintaining VO2 Max?

How can different sounds impact sleep quality?

I like to fall asleep with a noise machine playing white noise, but I've been wondering how this could impact my sleep. Is utter silence more beneficial than constant sounds like white noise? Could wind/water/rain (or other natural sounds) have a more positive impact on sleep quality than artificial white noise or fan sounds? Also, you are the best person.
