It seems that we don't becoming old gradually, and at age 44 and age 60 are where molecules show accelerated, non-linear changes. People in their 40s get more muscle injuries and see fat accumulation increase and this is related to changes in lipid metabolism. As people reach their 60s, muscle loss (sarcopenia) accelerates. https://lnkd.in/gcWxp3ye

... and to trigger muscle synthesis, be sure to eat sufficient amounts of the right types of protein distributed over the day. https://lnkd.in/gEF8VXQ8

These types of charts are misleading. The #bioavailability of #protein must be taken into account when determining what 30g of protein is, NOT just the number of #grams of protein in a food. https://lnkd.in/gsr-SB8x

There are TWO #misconceptions about a #therapeutic #ketogenic diet for #MentalHealth. One, is that it can only be overseen by a Psychiatrist that practices in this area. Two, that it is the same as a regular #keto diet. https://lnkd.in/gD2JKb-7

Scored my first fresh #sockeye of the season (probably caught yesterday). Now the question is, oven air fry with melted butter, or pan fry in melted butter?

It's infuriating. A young adult woman of child-bearing age with ammenorhea (no period) for 4 years, "but #thyroid is fine" when only #TSH was tested. I discussed the "patient pay" option of obtaining a full thyroid panel with the client in order to rule out subclinical #hypothyroidism. Or rule it in, as the case may be. https://lnkd.in/gAGhYKMM

I have written several articles about the importance of #protein #bioavailability and the #leucine content of that protein and their combined role in helping older adults preserve #muscle mass as they #age. It turns out there is a new supplement called #HMB which is made when the body breaks down leucine that is being touted as a "new miracle supplement" for helping older adults preserve muscle mass and strength. For a food-first approach, have a read of this article: https://lnkd.in/gEF8VXQ8

Calorie burning explained in plain (and colourful) language — and another reason why prioritizing protein is important. Sure, lift heavy things often, but if you're not a hamster, you can skip the treadmill. As for how much protein: https://lnkd.in/gnYXMDat

It seems many people do not understand that a #therapeutic #ketogenic diet used as an adjunct treatment in #mentalhealth is different from the popularized #keto diet used for #weightloss and improved metabolic health. https://lnkd.in/gD2JKb-7

Only 1/4 of people with #glioblastoma survive more than 1 year. I don't understand cautioning a patient againat adopting a #therapeutic #ketogenic diet due to high #cholesterol.
