#10 – Matt Kaeberlein, Ph.D.: rapamycin and dogs — man’s best friends? — living longer, healthier lives and turning back the clock on aging and age-related diseases
“I believe that rigorously demonstrating that we can increase healthspan and lifespan in pet dogs will be a huge step toward gaining the support and credibility that the field needs.” —Matt Kaeberlein
#07 – Deep Dive: Lp(a) — what every doctor, and the 10-20% of the population at risk, needs to know
“Elevated Lp(a) may have conferred a survival advantage for most of human history: a better ability to deal with acute trauma, but possibly at the expense of poor handling of chronic damage. In today’s environment, for many people, that’s not an advantage.” —Peter Attia
#06 – D.A. Wallach: music, medicine, longevity, and disruptive technologies
“The way that anything looks before we understand it is pretty imposing . . . when we have breakthroughs, they feel like an enormous relief, because something that seemed really complicated becomes really simple.” —D.A. Wallach
#05 – Dom D’Agostino, Ph.D.: ketosis, n=1, exogenous ketones, HBOT, seizures, and cancer
“I immerse myself in what I’m doing…that’s how we learn.” —Dom D’Agostino

North is to south what the clock is to time
There’s east and there’s west and there’s everywhere life

The in between is mine
I am mine

#03 – Ron Krauss, M.D.: a deep dive into heart disease
“Anybody interested in this field should probably understand the origins.” —Ron Krauss
Podcast, AMA, Lp(a), and Dr. Rosenrosen
Bob Kaplan, my head analyst, had the opportunity to drink all of my espresso while he “asked me anything.”
Does it help to know your coronary artery calcium score?
I read an interesting paper on fitness, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores from the Cooper Center Longitudinal Study. This paper looked at “generally healthy middle-aged men” and associations between their level of aerobic fitness, CAC scores, and risk for CVD. So why was this interesting to me (and by extension, should you care)?
The importance of metabolic syndrome and the man behind it
This condition we now all take for granted was barely understood just 30 years ago.
Fat, cancer, discomfort, and giving
This week we learned there’s often more to the story than the one you’re being told.
