@ecalabr @benwhitemd As a radiology resident, I would love this!

@BronWorld THANK YOU. Why does no one ever take this into consideration for the goat debate? Debate over

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@Blogdrive @CoachDanGo Can you link the study? I can’t find anything on vo2 max improvement

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@CoachDanGo Where is the evidence that it increases VO2 max? Earnestly asking because I can’t find any studies on it

@bruce_projects Love it!!

Muscle power—your ability to generate force quickly—is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, even more so than being lean. This is sometimes referred to as the 'fat but powerful' paradox.

In a recent study, older adults with normal and high levels of relative muscle power had better 9-year survival than older adults with low muscle power.

Muscle power was even protective against death in older adults with high levels of body fatness measured using BMI and waist circumference.

Being fat and powerful reduced mortality just as much as being lean and powerful—by 43–45%.

Being lean and weak, however, provided no survival advantage compared to being fat and weak.

Interestingly, when body fatness was measured using body fat percentage or the fat index (body fat % normalized to height), the protective effect of muscle power was mitigated—only lean and powerful participants experienced a mortality benefit.

This highlights the continued importance of minimizing excess adiposity for long-term health, even when physical fitness is optimized.

The takeaway here isn’t to downplay the risks of obesity for longevity—maintaining a healthy weight is still critical. But fitness, particularly muscle power, deserves more attention as a key lever we can pull to improve both lifespan and healthspan. It’s one of the most actionable metrics to track and improve.

If you want to know more about muscle power for longevity and how to improve it, I’ll cover it in this week’s newsletter.

@dr_cellini 9 more days until what?

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@dr_cellini Haha interesting takes lately (though not wrong), everything ok over there?

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@cwiggs5 This is huge man congrats!! Can I volunteer to be tested next?

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@BrianSuttererMD FWIW he did own up to this mistake publically and post a correction. It takes courage to put content out there for scrutiny (as you do yourself) and even more to admit mistakes. He’s certainly not perfect but he has driven a lot of interest in self improvement and health

We CT scanned an Apple Vision Pro! We also scanned two Meta headsets. Here’s what we found inside, and what it says about the two companies’ approach to AR/VR and to hardware development in general. 🧵

Education will never be the same.

People are finding some incredible use cases with Apple Vision Pro and spatial computing.

10 wild use cases:

1. Learning how heart works

@cwiggs5 @DrMJoyner Thank you @cwiggs5 and @DrMJoyner for all the crucial support along the way, so incredibly excited for this next step in the journey!!😆

Thoughts on the reading room of future in Apple Vision Pro here? @Apple

[Cameron Andrews @camatsirona]

@Apple Vision Pro x @Sirona_Medical .

For radiologists to live in the same dimensional space as their data, the entire radiology IT stack needed to be rebuilt from scratch - for the age of AI, and the age of spacial computing.

This means one, unified, cloud-native workflow platform.

That's what Sirona has done, and as this video (of me messing around this morning in my kitchen) demonstrates, the combination of SIRONA+LLM-DRIVEN COMMANDS + SPACIAL COMPUTING is the coolest thing in imaging IT period.

Now imagine if computer vision + eye-tracking could drive the whole workflow - you could look at something, have all the data about that something display, speak without taking your eyes off the images...😎

To our team who's been building towards this (with hacky eye tracking demos going back to 2020), congratulations. The future is going to be so much fun.

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@Thrilluwu Bro that's why we're all dying for your video to drop, any updates on when??

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@NightcapShow_ @ShannonSharpe @ochocinco @TheVolumeSports Idk if they’ll be able to pull this off up 40 going into the 4th…we’ll have to wait and see

[Andrew Clayburn @AndrewClayburn]

@ShannonSharpe Why isn't it on YouTube?
