You would still probably be below the populational average, but if you want to optimize for LDL (which to me, personally, makes sense), then yes, you can avoid the extra saturated fat just because why not. And yes, if you can get it tested then it's the best approach.

Nice reframe indeed. Thanks.

Yes, but you still need to sell them somewhere. Imagine having such condition and not having access to the medication that could drastically simplify your life and prevent diseases.

Yes, most animal fat tends to be saturated. In my case m, I was eating only eggs and greek yogurt at some point, from animal sources, and that was enough to raise my ldl significantly. but it depends on the person. You could test it and experiment if you have budget

Great! Enjoy the adrenaline rush I've done a milder approach — 2 per day at least five days of the week. It worked wonders, I met so many attractive girls. The beginning was brutal tho, and it took me months to start having results. Bare in mind I did that in my 30s when I already had significant experience. Each person is at a different stage of their life and may need more/less time — also the place they live in may affect the outcomes, etc.

Good. The essential fats are Omega-3 and Omega-6s. I would thus ensure most of your fat falls within the polyunsaturated category, or even track the absolute amounts directly, especially if you're eating very-low fat overall, to ensure you're not getting too little of these essential fatty acids. It depends on your goal — what is it? For CVD risk, saturated fat is clearly bad — thinking of long-term health. If you just want to increase caloric intake, then (any) type of fat would work, yes. This video is quite good, and unbiased:

Found the medicine Mr. Johnson is missing. PS: forgive the horrible fidelity of gpt

The fact that LDL (or, better said, Apo-B-containing lipoproteins) are causally related to atherosclerosis doesn't mean you need to inject yourself with a gene-altering drug. Diet alone is able to reduce it. If you have familial hypercholesterolemia, however, as the OP wrote, it seems like a promising alternative compared to the other options. For sure better than having a stroke in your 30s.

👏👏👏👏 PS: I found the insight of "#328 - Don't Waste The Next 10 Years" very valuable. I've been contemplating it for the last several days.

@Hojo, what proper science models is, e.g., based on the evidence given a target population & set of circumstances, there is strong/weak evidence for [blank], or the likelihood of X increases 20% with Y given Z. I.e., science points at statistical and scope-bounded correlations, sometime possible causations. It's up to the reader to resist generalizing these beyond their scope of application, or treating them as absolute. Most people are unable to do so, but some are — in which case science is valuable. This connects to meta-rationality. It's the same thing when playing poker. Most people are unable to model the game as a distribution over a range of cards — if you ask them what a given player has, they'll say a single or couple possible starting hands. Ask a good player and they'll give you a range like in the image, with probabilities associated to each hand. The proper application of science in poker could easily make someone rich in the 2000's. In the same way, the proper application of science in nutrition can make one healthier (or, much better said, increase their likelihood of a good health outcomes).

You can make the distinction that the media reporting scientific findings is what make absolute claims. (Good) nutrition scientists will give you nuanced and non-absolute perspectives. Also, the fact that the pyramid changes doesn't mean it's useless. Someone starting from ground zero is better off following it than not. Only after you add personalization the odds of good health outcomes may increase with deviation from what's recommended for the average. Without personalization, a random person is better off following it than random eating.

Yes, and I would add that one should complement their subjective assessment with "objective" biomarkers such as blood, urine, stool, etc., types of tests. Some of these are cheap and can catch things that one may be oblivious to. Speaking from personal experience. Part of the scientific literature addresses populational averages (e.g., nutritional guidelines for an entire country), but there is also a lot of useful information about references and causal relationships of biomarkers that one can leverage to understand their particular nutritional status.

Get the HPV vaccines, even if you're a man. Gardasil was the one I took. Good for preventing oral cancer down the road. Alternatives is using condoms for oral sex as well, but then you expose yourself to microplastics 😂

What do you guys have against BJ? Haha yea, he's unfortunately caught in 🔶 Orange paradigms: reductionism, self-maximization. He has traces of 🟢 Green tho: psychedelics & veganism. Also a good example of how psychedelics use without proper spiritual/ontological/epistemological work gets you nowhere, or even more trapped in one's own worldview.

lol

Haha, maybe at the end Enhanced Games performance will not surpass Olympics performance and people are gonna be like "hmm 🤔🤔🤔"

Yea. Many journalists are simply vultures. They’ll do whatever is necessary for their own profit. I’d be the hell out of it, given the number of red flags in the little that you shared. Tell these people to fuck off.

IMO Bryan's marketing/brand is overall positive as it brings people into the longevity space, as well as plant-based eating. Better to care than to not care, despite many issues with the wellness industry as we know. Fools will fall pray to quick fixes, as anywhere else. Co-hosting the enhanced games — which objective is maximum performance at the cost of health and longevity — is conversial.

Aha, yes, makes sense.

AFAIA you can boil mushrooms for a long time, drink the tea, and still have a full trip. Probably smoking elevates the heat to another level, then. But anyway why smoke mushrooms if orally they work so well?

Intercalating multiple 5-day cycles of Valter Longo's FMD (which preserves lean mass better than water-only fasting) with periods of eucaloric intake is a safer approach than a single, long water-only fast AFAIC, and has RCT data to back it up. Dry fasting is good if your target is short-term death.

I had the same issue; Leo fixed it for me. He’ll probably reply here when he sees the message. But yeah, ideally the account creation wouldn’t be tied to the paypal acc. I had to create a new paypal acc when I moved countries.

Feedback: I've watched the first 40 videos so far. Found them super valuable, especially the ones addressing foundational concepts (e.g., nothingness,, consciousness) and techniques/practices (e.g., meditation, self-exploration). These shorter tips help clarify some nuances I hadn't yet grasped from YouTube videos.
