Overcoming the urge to check social media
I don't know how this happened to me, but I've become a person who checks Instagram and Twitter far too often, and then scroll far too long when I get there. It wastes times and also makes me feel bad/distracted when I tear myself away. You talked about your great morning routine and it inspired me. Do you have any tools specifically to counteract this urge to check social media? In particular to help me not check social media in the morning. Thank you for this and for the great work you do! - Alisa
Net vs Gross Calories
Considering that some foods and macronutrients require more energy expenditure from your body to process them into forms your body can use for energy, why do we not think of net vs gross calories? For example, 4g of carbs from pure sugar will give you more net energy than 4 grams of carbs from a whole wheat food. Or, 4 grams of protein will give you less net energy than 4 grams of carbs. Thank you for you interest in our interest in science!!!
Protein Intake
I listen to both The Drive podcast by Dr Peter Attia and Lifespan by Prof David Sinclair. And I found they offer what seem to me contradiction with regard to protein intake for longevity. Prof Sinclair suggests a lower protein/vegetarian diet in combination with TRF to lower mTOR while Dr Attia suggests a higher protein diet (2g/kg of lean mass) and said in one of the AMA that it is impossible to utilize all 150g of protein in one sitting for muscle protein synthesis. Can you provide your view on this area? Thank you very much
Biggest triggers of cancer
I work as a fire fighter i Sweden. this year the World Health Organization determined that occupational exposure as a firefighter is carcinogenic. Cancer is one of my biggest fears in life. I hear about "this and that being carcinogenic", but what are the big, most crucial triggers for cancer?
