Wie haben er und seine Familie die Hausdurchsuchung am Dienstagmorgen erlebt und was denkt er darüber, dass Vize-Kanzler Habeck persönlich Strafantrag gegen ihn gestellt hat?
Ich war bei Stefan Niehoff in Unterfranken und habe ihn gefragt.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

Reducing added sugar early in life can significantly lower the risk of chronic diseases in adulthood.

Less exposure to sugar in utero and during the first 2 years of life was associated with a 35% reduction in diabetes risk, a 20% reduction in hypertension risk, and a 30% reduction in obesity risk among children conceived or born around the 1950s sugar rationing in the United Kingdom. As adults, they also experienced the onset of diabetes and high blood pressure 2–4 years later.

Less sugar exposure in utero was beneficial on its own and explained about one-third of the protective effects on disease—reducing diabetes and hypertension risk by 8–15%.

But the effects were most pronounced when sugar restriction lasted until 6 months of age and beyond—the longer one was exposed to sugar restriction, the lower their disease risk.

- Less sugar exposure in utero and in the first year of life reduced disease risk by 15%–25%.

- Less sugar exposure in utero and in the first 2 years of life reduced disease risk by 19%–36%.

The idea that maternal and early-life nutrition can impact future health is known as the “fetal origins hypothesis.”

It’s why I spent many months researching and learning about the myriad factors that would influence my own child's development and why I continue to do so.

Early life is a sensitive time for development. Although this study has its limitations, it should make us more aware of how sugar intake in particular can affect the long-term health of our children.

This is not just another announcement. Over the past few months, you've heard me talk about @function. This isn’t merely about new investors; it's a signal from some of the world's top institutions that empowering you to take control of your health outside the doctor’s office is critical.

We’ve secured a $53M investment led by top investor Andreessen Horowitz. Early cancer detection is critical. Getting ahead of heart disease is critical. Understanding your hormones is critical. This investment ensures we can scale this revolutionary approach to reach billions of people. We've already seen countless stories of how Function Health has saved and transformed lives.

A 44-year-old father of two discovered prostate cancer in stage one. A 51-year-old mother of four discovered ovarian cancer just in time before she was symptomatic. A 35-year-old fit man revealed a critical heart disease risk that typical physicals never caught. Over 60% of our members have a nutrient deficiency. Over 30% of our members are showing autoimmunity signals. This is about people's lives. And in each case, Function was there to help them take control.

We've designed Function to be the easiest and fastest way to take charge of your health, starting with 100+ lab tests that provide an extremely comprehensive picture of what's actually happening inside your body.

My career, beyond being a practicing physician, has been dedicated to educating people like you about your health. This is the next level, beyond just writing books. I'm tirelessly working to ensure millions have access to the same high-level healthcare that has been available to wealthy people with concierge doctors—and then going far beyond that. This is just the beginning.

We built Function for you. It's time you own your health.

Remembering my teacher Charlie Munger - By Li Lu

Thursday, November 30, 2023

I was on a business trip in Asia on Tuesday when I got the call from the Munger family informing me that Charlie was in his final hours. I hopped onto the next flight I could find to California, and before departure, was able to talk to Charlie through the help of his daughter. Charlie had largely lost consciousness, but still I could clearly hear him trying to make a sound to acknowledge he had heard me. Upon landing, I learned that Charlie had left us a few hours earlier.

I arrived at his Santa Barbara home and had the opportunity to spend cherished time with family members, reminiscing about all things Charlie. Charlie was engaging, humorous and full of wit even at Thanksgiving dinner just a few days ago, family members told me. I visited his home library again. In that very room, exactly 20 years ago, also on a post-Thanksgiving weekend afternoon, following the introduction by our mutual friend Ron Olson, Charlie and I first struck up a deep conversation which ran for several hours. It began an investment partnership that has now endured two decades. Charlie became my mentor, partner, dear friend and above all, life-long role model.

I was so deeply grateful that the Munger family made a special arrangement the next day for me to say a proper and private goodbye to Charlie.

There, lying quietly with eyes closed, Charlie looked the same as ever, peaceful and sincere with a subtle smile on his face. There was a serenity about him. For a moment, I was reminded of the Living Buddhas I once saw in the Buddhist temples of Thailand. In the Buddhist tradition, the bodies of truly enlightened monks, through life-long self-cultivation, can remain incorrupt, without any traces of mummification after death. In that moment, it is what I saw in Charlie, an enlightened sage with an incorruptible body, surrounded by a glimmer of eternal light.

Charlie was not a Buddhist. That vision can never be tested. But it is incontrovertible that his legacy and impact will live on for generations to come.

In our capitalist society, where do virtue, moral responsibility, truth-seeking and public service fit in? Charlie Munger answered these questions through his long exemplary life. He insisted on making money in the most morally sound way, entering transactions only when, if positions were reversed, he would comfortably take the other side. He sought worldly wisdom through life-long learning. He guided life with rationality devoid of mental deficiencies such as envy, resentment and self-pity. He faced and persevered through countless adversities with stoicism and equanimity. As he gained in wealth and stature, he showed little appetite for the trappings of that success, and instead spent his wealth on worthy causes and tirelessly spread his worldly wisdom to those who would listen, often with humor. He remained deeply engaged with family, friends, partners and the broader world with loving assiduousness through his last days.

In his later decades, Charlie Munger’s ideas began to spread across the world, particularly in the most populous countries of China and India. In China, the Mandarin language version of “Poor Charlie’s Almanack,” an anthology by and about Charlie Munger, sold over 1.2 million copies over the last 10 years. There, the educated class increasingly came to view Charlie as the embodiment of the modern-day Confucianism, maintaining a virtuous and enlightened life while embracing the market forces of capitalism. In time, that vision of modern Confucianism will be crucial for Chinese modernization and how China interacts with the rest of the world.

Charlie’s teachings will continue to spread, inspire and impact the world even more profoundly. That will be his eternal legacy.
