@DrKristieLeong @siimland Thanks to whomever first used the phrase “squaring the curve”

[Ron Manuel🇨🇦🇺🇸 @RonManuel2]

@RussellShaw_MLS @MarkBski Third idea: have a hobby that other retirees love. My wife is a very good golfer and was welcomed into the local womens golf group.

@RussellShaw_MLS @MarkBski Two ideas: If your kids play team sports, the parents of their teammates are a possibility for future long-term friendships. Second, and less practical, try to spend as many career years in one place that you plan to also live in retirement.

@RussellShaw_MLS @MarkBski Just like switching schools as a kid, the retirees in that town you retire to will already have their clique of friends.

@DrKristieLeong @WilliamWallace Putting a paper filter between my espresso being pulled and my cup seems so wrong.

@DrMarthaGulati @mmamas1973 @AnastasiaSMihai Even better is their gelato! Great prices too. My wife and I found out that 1 liter was too much to share.

@RussellShaw_MLS Have had osteopenia for 20 years. Was just put on fosamax. Planning to start jumping down from 12 inch box. Docs make the same mistake as with cholesterol and don’t recommend doing anything about it until some threshold is passed

[Ron Manuel🇨🇦🇺🇸 @RonManuel2]

@RussellShaw_MLS Thanks for the tips. Already do leg press; familiar with Smith; use back machine (may not be correct one); do abductor/adductor, seated leg curl and seated leg extension, and calf.

@RussellShaw_MLS You’re young enough to benefit from this article. It was written 10 years too late for me. https://t.co/0nzSDrhL0g

@RussellShaw_MLS I plugged my labs into ChatGPT a couple of months ago and like you, it flagged the homocysteine. It had been 16, but Chat recommended a cocktail of TMG, P5P, R5P, bioavail b12, and bioavail b9, so it is already lowering. Thanks for the confirmation.

[Ron Manuel🇨🇦🇺🇸 @RonManuel2]

@RussellShaw_MLS My worrisome labs are insulin at 8.1, homocysteine at 12 (I’m an APOE 3/4), and cystatin C at 65 (I’m 73 years old). The Couzens 500 exercise calories/day for 5 weeks on my Concept2 has already improved cardio measures.

[Ron Manuel🇨🇦🇺🇸 @RonManuel2]

@RussellShaw_MLS I love the level of detail you’ve provided. You already kept me from the wrong scale. I’ll do dexa eventually, but Sacramento is 2 1/2 hours away. My labs are good, but I’ve been overweight for 20 years. Alan Couzens motivated me to exercise more.

@CoachDanGo @forgedmedicine I want the wearable to estimate my circadian rhythm and haptic me after it thinks I’ve achieved 100% of my sleep need. I think Whoop is the only one. I hate that it is a subscription product.

[Ron Manuel🇨🇦🇺🇸 @RonManuel2]

@jselanikio My favorite Whoop features are its estimate of my circadian rhythm and ideal sleep hours as well as being able to set a haptic when it thinks I’ve gotten 100% of my needed sleep. Will fitbit Air do these?

@JOSEPH45075332 @PunkyCovfefe Rob Berger, a financial retirement writer said, “It’s not an exaggeration to day it’s one of the worst personal finance books I’ve ever read.”

[Ron Manuel🇨🇦🇺🇸 @RonManuel2]

@JOSEPH45075332 @PunkyCovfefe Your inheritance early comment was a big takeaway for me from the Die With Zero book. My daughters can use money more productively and enjoyably in their 40s than waiting until they’re in their sixties.

@woofknight Submitted for your approval

@DrFrankLipman Selank is not yet FDA approved. Should that concern me? Do your patients use it on an as needed basis?
