Review of the supplemental from @ethanjweiss lead to some interesting findings.

EXERCISE:
The late TRF group had decreased activity, daily movement, METS, steps, high activity, training frequency and training volume

The TRF group exercised less! Much less!

1/4
SLEEP:
They also had worsened sleep timing/efficiency & more awake time

This could be an issue with meal timing close to sleep. eTRF versus lateTRF

2/4
HEAD SCRATCHERS...literally

Interestingly, the HEAD AREA of the TRE group also shrunk (statistical significance) 🤔

Also TRE preferentially decreases right arm lean mass 🤔

I talked with Dr. Weiss to access the data to correlate LBM with BIA, stay tuned

3/4
Bottom line: data looks interesting

My takeaway, 12-16 hours of eating the standard diet isn’t that much better than eating 8 hours of the standard diet.

It’s possible meal timing and late eating can lead to poor sleep quality & somehow decreased exercise.

4/4
5/5

Most people don’t know the real results of the Minnesota Starvation Study…

Yes, the men lost weight.
But they also developed anxiety, depression, binge eating, low libido, cold intolerance, and obsession with food.

Caloric restriction isn’t benign.

A new review in Nature Reviews Endocrinology exposes what calorie restriction really does to the body.

While it may extend lifespan in rodents, the human data is less clear—and the downsides are serious.

Here’s what the science actually shows:

Wound healing slows down.
Cut your hand while calorie restricted? It’ll heal slower.

CR reduces collagen production, growth factors, and immune cell infiltration. Refeeding reverses it… but only after damage is done.

CGMs - continuous glucose monitors

Having looked at 10,000+ CGMs let me tell you what you will learn...

1/9
Lesson 1: Hidden carbs are everywhere
- you will find hidden sugar & carbs everywhere.

You didnt know you could find carbs/sugar but you will:
hotdogs, sausage, beef jerky, spices, condiments, sauces, soups, broths, basically everywhere you didnt look.

2/9
Lesson 2: consider avoiding seed oils, vegetables oils, especially from restaurants.

Patients who switch to olive oil and avocado oil & hoke cooking seem to have improvement not otherwise explainable on CGMs

🔔 Where did Ozempic & Monjauro come from? 🤔

Bookmark, save, and follow along Image
🦎 The Gila monster (Heloderma suspectum), a unique lizard known for its binge-eating behavior, produces the hormone exenatide, the basis for diabetes medications such as Ozempic and Mounjaro.
This reptile stores significant amounts of energy in its fatty, moisture-rich tail, aiding in weight and hydration maintenance. The GLP-1 hormone is exclusively released from its saliva through the act of chewing. When liquified food is injected directly into its stomach, the hormone is not released, highlighting the importance of chewing in this process. GLP-1 is thought to signal satiety and help regulate blood glucose levels during digestion. The Gila monster consumes large quantities of food relative to its body weight, often ingesting whole rodents and digesting them over 1-2 months.
