Salt didn’t raise your blood pressure — insulin resistance did
When your cells can’t handle sugar, your kidneys hoard sodium to cope
It’s not salt that’s the villain — it’s metabolic chaos
Pure salt = essential
Processed carbs + stress = pressure cooker
Do you salt your food?
Every day for the past 26 years I'm grateful I didn't listen to my doctor who wanted me to take a statin for my high LDL. At 68 I can work with my personal trainer and box for an hour. I wonder if I'd have the strength to do so if I had taken that statin and suffered the muscle atrophy, brain fog and diabetes that could've developed from the medication, with virtually no benefit for my heart.

Most people think cholesterol is the main cause of heart disease but that’s a myth. As a heart surgeon explains, arterial plaque contains more than just cholesterol, including calcium, clots, and inflammation. Learn what truly damages blood vessels and how understanding these factors can help prevent and even reverse heart disease.

Healthy fats—like those found in butter, eggs, meat, and avocado—don’t make you fat. What does? Chronically high insulin levels, driven by excessive carb intake and ultra-processed food.
I teach a seminar at USF in which I cover controversial medical topics to our undergrads, including carnivore diet. This semester I had a 22 yo student who suffered from profound allergic reactions & frequent chest pains, diagnosed as caused by excess regurgitation in 3 chambers. He tried the carnivore diet, and within a few weeks his symptoms all abated and he's now off all meds, chest pain/allergies are gone.
The dramatic improvement in his health is reminiscent of what @nicknorwitz found with his diet changes.

Once again, n of 1 observations show great benefits for some people in eliminating plants and shifting to a carnivore diet.

@docparsley the new apple cinnamon flavor tastes like a scented candle smells- or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I liked the old one better, but this one never has a residue in the cup. So I’m just trying to get used to it, but it’s so much sweeter. Maybe I’ll just do the pills instead.
Democrats hate RFK/Trump so much that they have literally backed themselves into the position of defending Froot Loops. This is truly sad.
Journalists should rise above partisanship and engage seriously in one of the most important issues in America: the crushing level of chronic disease, which affects not just our health but military readiness, $4trillion in healthcare costs annually, etc etc
The EPA says that livestock are responsible for only 4% of US greenhouse gases, yet the NYTimes relentlessly reports on beef's "heavy toll." And never notes the essential nutrition from these foods, without which human life is not possible
