In this 2012 lecture, science journalist Gary Taubes examines the two dominant explanations for obesity: the traditional energy balance model—“calories in, calories out”—and the carbohydrate–insulin hypothesis, which views obesity as a disorder of fat storage and hormonal regulation. fects, showing that most “low-calorie” studies also inadvertently restricted carbs.

@DrPaulMason Wow! Impactful stuff here

[MetFix @MetFixByBSI]

If your food has a marketing team, it’s probably not food.

You’ve got 10 labels shouting at you, each claiming to be “healthy.” No wonder we’re confused. Ultra-processed foods now make up nearly 60% of what Americans eat. They’re linked to obesity, fatigue, and chronic disease. Want to eat better?

Stay out of the aisles. Shop the edges. That’s where the real food lives. A simple filter for every meal: Can you kill it? Can you grow it? Then you can eat it. Every cell in your body is built by what you eat.

Eat real. Eat natural. Start there.

Seed oils and sugar: the two thieves of modern hormones

One inflames your cells, the other hijacks your insulin

Together they age you decades faster
You can’t out-supplement that

Have you eliminated sugar & seed oils from your diet yet?

the more mitochondria (and the more efficient they are), the more oxygen your muscles can consume for energy.

in other words - the (a-v)O₂ difference increases with greater mitochondrial density and function.

Zone 2 training, once a concept embraced primarily by endurance athletes, has exploded in popularity within the health and longevity communities. Marketed as the ideal exercise intensity for building mitochondria, boosting fat oxidation, and improving metabolic health, Zone 2 is often recommended as the cornerstone of a weekly fitness routine.
