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.

I almost never use razors or safety razors. This is the best thing I found, for minimum skin irritation. It's a cutting machine but that gets really close to the point of almost matching a razor. Faster and easier to use than any razor, so you can use it more often, and in the end your average beard length will be the same or smaller =)

🤣

I strongly suggest to read How To Be A 3% Man from Corey Wayne. Read it 10-15 times as he advocates. You don't want to act robotic but understand the essence of the book. Also, you probably can benefit from assertiveness. Read books on assertiveness, how to say no, etc. Learn to not give a fuck, to work through your toxic shame. You gotta exercise those muscles. That said, notice that the idea of "alpha male" carries a lot of baggage with it. It may not be the healthiest and most sustainable way of living, but it all depends of the life stage you're at. As you already noted on However, consider that, sometimes, the fear of lashing out is part of what holds you back. Part of assertiveness is recognizing and acting on the validity of your own emotions. To prioritize how you feel vs how (you think) others feel. If your emotions tell you to lash out and you don't, you're betraying yourself. If you are too much on one side of pendulum, you may need to explore the other side a bit to reach the equilibrium point. Allow yourself some headroom. The most important is to act on your emotions, your boundaries, soon. That requires recognizing them early and getting rid of the shame or fear that you carry that prevents you from expressing your boundaries and desires early on, before they are crossed or neglected so often or so deeply that you build deep anger and lash out or you miss opportunities of putting yourself first. So in a sense learning how to express yourself will make you a better person, but the path may have some rough spots. Ultimately, trust in yourself, accept yourself, validate yourself. You're the only person who can do that.

Another idea: a comments box within each video page. It would def facilitate interaction and exchanging perspectives: I watch a video and bam, comment just below. I understand this is not trivial — we already have the forum and I don't know how easy integration would be — perhaps a different platform. I also understand Leo may not want to be responsible for answering each and every comment — it would be more an open discussion for the community. I guess this would have to be made explicit when advertising the product.

Feedback: for those who applied but haven't heart anything back yet — it would help to receive an email acknowleding the application was received. I have double-checked the email address I sent it to, but I wouldn't like to, e.g., miss even the wait list and only realize that months or years down the road.

Nice, thx for sharing. Impressive how metabolic issues are at the core of so many diseases nowadays.
