@mattvolt My takeaway is that high protein diets in the absence of exercise are detrimental to health by chronically elevating IGF-1.

If you are highly active, especially before high protein meals, exercise + protein can be beneficial for health (or at least not detrimental).

A good workout always creates a nice sense of equilibrium when I first arrive in a travel destination.

Greatly helps to reduce jet lag and the impacts of plane travel.

I was feeling a little depressed/anxious, went out for a 2.5 hour walk, and now I’m feeling 10x better.

Walking in the outdoors is potent medicine.

@waronweakness How to find the 1 thing?

[Andrew Merle @AndrewMerle]

@DrFrankLipman I take a daily multivitamin and think it provides benefits. Worst case is it’s a waste of money, but not harmful for health.

@JoseAntonioPhD I’ve struggled with anxiety on and off for 20+ years. Nothing has helped more than physical exercise.

You show what you truly value by what you do consistently, through ups & downs.

What is something you have done consistently for the last decade?

For me, it has been exercise. Many things have come and gone over the last 10 years, but daily exercise has been a constant.

To get the real deal analysis of the erythritol study please do see this post from @BioLayne The subjects used were quite ill and they did not measure erythritol consumption/intake. It was about blood levels of erythritol. Please see his post & learn.
