Thread 🚨

2 years ago I was in a car accident that caused near paralysis of my right arm
Prior to that I had loved to exercise.

Throughout my life actually I love to exercise even at 350lbs
After my surgery I faced a complication, I had a collection and a possible infection

I was unable to move my arm to my head level for about 4 months after my surgery, I was finally able to move hand above my head one year later (about 16 months ago)…
I had to pivot around my disability…

I bought an assault bike and basically cut my routine to 4 15 minute sessions per week
Luckily my diet has kept me from massive weight regain

Yes I’ve had ups and downs

And yes my body composition isn’t prime time but im proud of myself
I continue to workout at home and now my kids join me as I’ve slowly expanded our home gym from just that lonely assault bike 2 years ago!
And my lifelong battle with obesity continues … now with 3-4 littles ones cheering me on

🚨 🚨 I want you to read this - a recent paper from the supposed brightest doctors in cardiology 🚨 🚨

“High LDL was associated with DECREASED RISK of MI, ASCVD, and all-cause mortality”

“- a finding that is difficult to interpret -“

They cannot admit that maybe the LDL hypothesis was just not the whole truth 😑Image

@ApoDudz Hey @MaBMortensen can you please advise

To me it seems like you are saying IR and resultant increase in remnants adds additional risk with some BS worldview of ApoB to make the lipidologists happy

What did I miss?

How statisticians and researchers arrived at the conclusion that the BlueZones are a FRAUD. 🤔

🔑 Thread with key excerpts

1/n
“When these states transition to state-wide birth registration, the number of supercentenarians falls by 80% per year“

2/n
“The US data support the hypothesis that improved vital registration should reduce the number of supercentenarians, and be associated with changing patterns of old-age survival, by reducing age-coding error rates.”

STRESS AND WEIGHT REGAIN
While very few physicians have embraced it yet, our practice has been thriving on the use of remotely monitoring patient biometric data. In our clinic, almost all of our patients have smart equipment in their homes which wirelessly sync with our practice.
We monitor body weight, fat mass, water weight, muscle mass, blood pressure, heart rate/heart rate regularity, and blood sugar⁠—all remotely. The patient can remain in the comfort of their own home and data is securely submitted wirelessly to our practice in real-time. This data is analyzed by me and my staff, which we then use to help encourage our patients who are doing well in their journeys. It has also helped us to identify patterns that predict weight regain and has given our practice the unique ability to reach out to our patients in real-time to intervene, increase contact, and lend a helping hand when times are tough. In our practice, gone are the days when you would see your physician six months later, after regaining 30 pounds. @gotowardhealth

I have a serious problem with the term “pre-diabetes.”

The prefix “pre” is used to describe what comes before something.

In reality, “pre”-diabetes is actually AFTER or “post” 15 years of the high insulin levels & inflammation associated with the modern lifestyle.
Prediabetes is usually diagnosed by checking an a1c level, which is the percentage of hemoglobin that binds to sugar as a percentage of normal hemoglobin.

If you a1c is between 5.7 and 6.4, you are considered to have “pre-diabetes”
To achieve this level of pre-diabetes, you must sustain enough carbohydrate/glycemic excursions & weight gain where your average glucose rises sufficiently above normal levels.

The a1c describes your speed, your are past your speed limit.

Obesity doesn’t just “happen” to individuals… it spreads like an infectious disease.

🧵 Let me explain…
A landmark NEJM study tracked 12,000+ people for 32 years. The shocking finding? If your friend became obese, your risk of becoming obese rose by 57%
This effect wasn’t limited to family. It held true for spouses, siblings, and friends… proving that social networks spread obesity.

Defund the American Academy of Pediatrics.
It’s not a neutral medical body… it’s a corporate mouthpiece. Here’s the proof 🧵
💊 Big Pharma
AAP takes money from pharma giants.
Their guidelines? Push GLP-1 injections and bariatric surgery for kids… but demonize reducing carbs and sugar. Profit over prevention.
🥤 Junk Food Industry
AAP is bankrolled by Coca-Cola, Nestlé, PepsiCo, and formula makers.
The result? Silence on ultra-processed foods… but endless focus on drugs and surgery.
