The scale doesn’t tell the whole story. These two masses weigh the same, but they function very differently in the body. Muscle is compact, dense, and metabolically active. Fat is bulky, inflammatory, and hormonally disruptive. Weight loss doesn’t always mean fat loss. Without a smart plan, most weight lost comes from muscle and bone—both of which we need to protect as we age. The real goal isn’t to weigh less. It’s to carry less fat, preserve muscle, and strengthen bone. Lose the fat. Keep the muscle. Guard the bone. That’s health. #metabolichealth #longevity #fatloss
I wonder how much of medicine is driven by drugs. For example, why did they decide that LDL cholesterol is the main marker for heart disease, rather than triglycerides or insulin? After all, triglycerides and insulin are better markers of heart disease risk.
The reason? Probably because LDL cholesterol is "targetable"--there's a drug (statins) that will lower it. So it matters less that LDL is a good marker, and more that it's a number we can change with a drug. And of course, make money in the process. If there were a drug that lowered triglycerides really well, I suspect mainstream medicine would focus more on triglycerides.
(Incidentally, the best way to lower triglycerides and insulin is to control consumption of refined carbohydrates.)

If insulin resistance were a new virus in 2026, we’d shut down the world and have daily emergency press briefings.
Instead, it slowly disables hundreds of millions while we argue about LDL.
It doesn’t kill in days.
It destroys in decades.
And we call that “normal aging.”
This is a Masterclass in how what you do, who you spend time with, and what you think impacts your cellular health and vitality. And longevity. Dr Picard fills in the gaps in understanding around mitochondria that are everywhere (ahem, especially here on X) and gives actionables!
"If you implement a diet which dramatically reduces the amount of carbohydrates, you can reverse type two diabetes... reverse hypertension... reduce depression and anxiety by 79%."
"Not within years, within weeks."
🇪🇸🗣️ Marcos Llorente on IG: "I’m here to clarify the whole glasses topic because I see a lot of people didn’t understand anything… or maybe never will. And that’s fine. Not everyone is ready to question what they’ve been taught. If you’re not interested in your health, you can keep scrolling.
Nothing I share is made up. It’s not a “personal opinion.” It’s biology (real biology). You just have to read it. So if what I say bothers you, argue with biology, not with me.
I use glasses with yellow (special) lenses during the day when I’m indoors. And at night, if I go out or I’m exposed to artificial light, I use glasses with red lenses. Why? Because I protect my biology. Blue light, outside its natural context (daytime), is toxic. And it’s not me saying it; it’s your mitochondria, when they stop producing energy as they should.
Your retina and your skin have receptors that detect light and its colors. Your body uses them to turn essential biological processes on or off. If you send it the wrong signal, like looking at a screen at 10 p.m. or a white LED light while having dinner, your body responds incorrectly. Period. There’s no debate there.
And yes, the most serious damage happens at night when you disrupt your natural production of melatonin. Maybe you’re thinking: “Pfft, melatonin… who cares?” Well, it turns out it matters a lot. Melatonin doesn’t just help you sleep.
• It maintains cellular voltage and regulates calcium and potassium ion channels (cancer).
• It inhibits the Warburg effect; in other words, with enough melatonin, cancer cannot proliferate.
• It inhibits aromatase, blocking pathways related to breast cancer.
• Together with melanin, it’s the most powerful antioxidant in the body.
• It's anti-inflammatory and boosts the immune system.
• It regulates your biological clocks.
• It controls two key cellular programs: autophagy (cellular cleaning) and apoptosis (programmed cell death). This helps prevent cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.
Wearing glasses that filter artificial light isn’t a biohacker trend. It’s a necessity if you live trapped in modern environments, away from the sun, surrounded by screens and LED lights.

All these billions spent on pharmaceutical prescriptions for chronic diseases with a ton of side effects, and all most people ever had to do was cut back on sugar and carbs
If you truly want to be healthy:
• Avoid sugar, not salt
• Avoid junk food, not meat
• Avoid seed oils, not butter
• Fix insulin resistance and inflammation, not “cholesterol”
Eating whole food isn’t restrictive.
Eating the same toxic junk every day is.
