The big health debate unfolding is Ray Peat versus Bryan Johnson.

Increase energy/metabolism versus slow it down.

@ChrisMasterjohn Something else that makes me very wary to try MSE despite being a candidate, is you lose the natural suture once you split it. After the split, hard bone grows across the divide as shown in Xrays, and I wonder the long term consequences of that. Osteos think the suture "breathes"

@e_cdalton @exfatloss If I was American I would setup a crowd funded company to test all these new products and confirm they’re clean, could easily create enough profit for your time. The biggest issue with these mass produced foods is often corners are cut and they’re full of some hidden PFAS etc

@ChrisMasterjohn @DoctorTro I recall you finding you did best on a higher amount but couldn’t get it to work mitochondrially. Perhaps I misunderstood that.

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@ChrisMasterjohn @DoctorTro So even with mitochondrial testing, checking lactate, glucose, and ketones, and experimenting with supplements to alleviate bottlenecks, you still could not find a sustainable path over 150-200g of carbs per day?

@GuruAnaerobic My feeling is the majority of people have confabulated their gym routine with movement and athleticism. They’re strong, look good, and high VO2max they got from cycling or rowing, they think they’re athletic yet they can’t sprint. To me this is 99/100 people I see in the gym.

@PaulSkallas The problem is hard to get in rotation

@strong_sistas Is that granola you make or a brand you like? I don’t eat it but my wife loves it

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@JoshRainerGold I’m narrowing in on this physique (just need to lower the body fat) just training functional patterns and being active playing sports hiking bjj etc

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@Zenfrog4 IIRC it can do 50% of the work of choline in the methylation pathway which affects histamine

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@JoshRainerGold You should try an experiment fresh versus frozen to tease out RS effects if any. I’m currently eating 300+g of air fried potatoes every night for dinner on a boring cutting diet and feel great.

@ChrisMasterjohn Only 14 minutes of MAX heart rate zone (4-5) last week, will work on increasing that and I expect VO2Max will rise significantly.

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

Whoop just estimated VO2Max at 46, pretty happy with that at 42 years old and no intentional work to raise it.

My protocol currently following @ChrisMasterjohn's recommendations, every week (he says 10 days), I do:
-- 1 x hour Z2/3
-- 1 x 30 second max sprint (Assault Bike or Sprinting; I do much more than 30 seconds, typically a HIIT style workout of 5-10 intervals)
-- 1 x mixed cardio session (playing Padel; or Muay Thai class or both)

And of course strength training through Functional Patterns, and a shit ton of play and wrestling with my boy.

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@Cernovich Are you also against regular alternative primary schooling like Montessori?

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@rnikoley Yeh, I tend to get bored of the same thing daily (except milk and honey and egg yolks), but that is probably the whole point of the staple, suck it up, get past the food reward issue.

[Bend. @e_volutionarily]

@FarmerKulak @ChrisMasterjohn It's not future expansion I am worried about; it's the natural rhythm and movement of the bones in the skull over ones life that is impacted, we have no long term data on this.
