@elonmusk Minnesota is an incredible place to live and raise a family. As someone planning to buy my first Tesla soon, I’d love to see Tesla + Minnesota keep working together to expand Superchargers and infrastructure even more. We already have a decent amount of Tesla Supercharger stations and strong local sales! Why the extra focus on our state lately?
Why do the French eat cheese, butter, and drink wine—but still have lower rates of heart disease than Americans?
After some digging, I found out what was going on...
The “French Paradox”—explained: 🧵
Stop eating cereal.
Start eating eggs, greek yogurt, watermelon, apples & REAL FOOD for breakfast.
You are welcome.
Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. 🤝

Dear @bryan_johnson, (part 2 of 🥩)
You cite observational studies that are riddled with confounding variables unrelated to red meat itself to make a case that red meat is harmful.
These studies fail to differentiate between unprocessed red meat, processed meat, and even processed foods, leading to erroneous conclusions.
You cannot claim meat is harmful for humans with extremely flawed observational research.
I believe your vegan diet misses out on MANY essential animal-based nutrients that are essential for human-health, and I will continue to defend meat, and especially red meat.
Let’s focus on the evidence that TRULY matters: controlled human studies.
When you look at CONTROLLED studies analyzing the effects of red meat in humans, you will find ZERO trials showing meat is harmful. In fact, several of them show benefits from meat consumption. (PMID: 35513448, 38479924, 36986140, 17237312, 28181738).
Additionally, an overwhelming body of research supports the incredible benefits of unique bioavailable nutrients found exclusively in red meat (PMID: 32072297, 30941351, 20219103, 37993715 https://t.co/rc14Kppnt0)
You also seem to have ignored some interesting observational studies that contradict your conclusions.
Research shows a positive correlation between meat consumption and life expectancy (PMID: 35228814). Furthermore, unprocessed red meat intake was not associated with increased mortality in other studies (PMID: 24932617, 33787869).
In an Asian cohort of 296,721 people, the men who ate the most red meat had the LOWEST rates of CVD, and the women who are the most red meat had the LOWEST rates of cancer. (PMID 23902788)
How about them ribeyes, Bryan?
How can meat be so harmful when it provides the most ESSENTIAL nutrients for longevity?
Vitamin A, B12, K2, choline, h-iron, creatine, taurine, anserine, carnitine, carnosine, 4-hydroxyproline, C15 are VITAL for optimal health and are ONLY found in meat and other animal foods.
This is the tip of the iceberg.
I will continue to invite you on my podcast so we can have respectful discussion about all of these issues.
Here is a blog describing a case of a teenager with bipolar disorder whose meds were not helping control symptoms. @loricalabresemd helped this individual and their family adopt ketogenic therapy and other lifestyle interventions. Within 7 months, bipolar symptoms had resolved.
We are thrilled to be supporting three research studies in young people that we will be sharing more about in the new year:
1) a real-world pilot trial of keto for youth with bipolar
2) a multi-site trial of keto for pediatric bipolar in a learning health network
3) a keto for depression in college students trial that is completed and is awaiting publication.
In the mean time, we hope more psychiatrists will begin to offer life-changing programs like Dr. Calabrese's Touchpoint 180.
My politics is not left wing or right wing. It is community.
It is getting married, starting a family, finding 5-10 other like minded families, buying land near eachother, growing some food, trading with your neighbors for everything you need.
Economics and politics should be decentralized, local and self sufficient.
This is true freedom
✅ Bone Health: Great for bones but doesn’t guarantee fewer fractures.
✅ Cancer Risk: May reduce colorectal cancer risk; mixed evidence for prostate cancer with high intakes.
Moderation is key—aim for 2–4 servings (total dairy) daily for benefits.
