Just noticed @poconnor has made a new blog - and it contains her utterly fantastic new graphic that explains how PKU is passed on from parents!

Give it a read here on her blog:

Women may be less susceptible than men to the risks of #MetabolicDisease from disrupted #CircadianRhythm, shows a new study in @ScienceTM involving mice and data from more than 90,000 job-matched shiftworkers in the UK. https://scim.ag/2Kp #press

In cafe for a warming latte and I see a heavy woman eating a 10” pizza and a huge chocolate muffin, alone. 😳
Question I’ve pondered for decades is how to encourage people to take some responsibility for their own health?
The plethora of research on pharmaceuticals, genes, and physiology dwarfs that on human behavior. The latter is part of the obesigenic environment pyramid, but too often ignored. #obesityepidemic #metabolicdisease #publichealth

Time-restricted eating on a regular schedule prevents/treats metabolic disease.

Good paper from the Natl Library of Medicine. I eat within an 8-hour window with large breakfast, moderate lunch, and a snack for dinner. It did take practice. I worked first on stopping at 5:00pm, then on starting at 9:00am.

Triglyceride Lowering with Pemafibrate to Reduce Cardiovascular Risk - PubMed

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36342113/ “incidence of cardiovascular events was not lower among those who received pemafibrate than among those who received placebo, although pemafibrate lowered triglyceride, VLDL cholesterol, remnant cholesterol, and apolipoprotein C-III levels” #cardiology #metabolicdisease

Just found out my friend David is going on a 20 day waterfast at the TrueNorth center in Santa Rosa California. Nothing but water for 20 days. I met him there while I was doing a 20 fast almost 2 years ago. Fasting triggers a response by the body called autophagy #autophagy in which cells clean and rebuild. This is anything but mainstream but is starting to make inroads through intermittent fasting. #fasting #intermittentfasting #health #metabolicdisease
