IV trend
Hi Andrew, what are your thoughts on this new trend of using IV to get vitamins, minerals, and hydration? Many MDs created their own clinics where they claim you can get IVs tailored to boost energy, immune system( e.g vit C, b12, magnesium sulfate, zinc and trace minerals) or detoxify from heavy metals. Thank you for all the great work you are doing!
Casein vs whey protein, building muscle and keeping sarcopenia in check
Trying to find details on these, best ways to use for what purposes, best times etc. e.g. as a female who has just turned 50 and has neglected resistance training for an entire lifetime up until very recently, I would like to both build strength and minimize sarcopenia simultaneously if possible (in short, my goal is to never break a hip). Food is always the first option for daily protein intake but when supplements are convenient it would be great knowledge to have. Can casein and whey powders be mixed, for example? Thank you!
intermittent fasting linked to 91% higher risk of death?
The American Heart Association Epidemiology and Prevention|Lifestyle and Cardiometabolic Health Scientific Sessions 2024, Abstract P192, suggests that 8-hour time-restricted eating is linked to a 91% higher risk of cardiovascular death. Can you break down this study for your listeners and help us understand the contradiction to the immense intermittent fasting benefits often shared by experts and time restricted eaters? This study shook me! Article: https://newsroom.heart.org/news/8-hour-time-restricted-eating-linked-to-a-91-higher-risk-of-cardiovascular-death
Low blood glucose and fasting
Recently, I bought a CGM, because visits to the doctor has shown that I struggle with low blood glucose numbers. The CGM data shows that I have consistently low blood glucose during night and morning (usually around 3-3.5, and occassionally below 3. I do TRE and fast from around 8 p.m to 12 a.m. It has had significant benefits on my gut health (I have IBS). My question; Would I be better off not doing TRE, and potentially sacrifice my gut health in order to increase blood sugar? Or will it not even help?
