acid relux
Hi Peter longtime follower- i am 65 years old and maintain a healthy lifestyle - i contracted covid 1.5 years ago and have been struggling with gut issues. in the last three months i have specifically dealing with heartburn and acid reflux - i have had symptoms for years but not to this degree. Doctors want me on Nexum - not a fan- i did some homopathic medicines with some improvement. can you recommend anything or even a wholistic doctor in Seattle. thank you.
Menopause and Cardio exercise
There is a trend from PT to recommend woman in perimenopause to stop doing cardio. They argue that cardio tend to increase cortisol, therefore further decreasing estrogen and worsening symptoms. I really don't agree, we do know that strength training is vital to keep muscle and improve-maintain bone density, but recommending 0 cardio sounds contra productive. Zone 2 - 3? HITT? what are your thoughts??
Blood-Brain barrier breakdown cause for Alzheimer's
In your interview with Rhonda Patrick PhD she mentioned a theory she has about the cause of Alzheimer's. As an APOE 4/4 carrier I have been following research for 15 years and I think she has something in her theory that the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier allowing toxins into the brain and creating a cascading effect that results in Alzheimer's. Can you get another interview with her and elaborate on this theory?
Leucine threshold for older adults
It's been stated that the leucine threshold is about 3 grams (Don Layman, #224). However, as you age, it takes more protein to trigger MPS . I'm 70, what is my leucine threshold? And how do I make sure i reach it if various proteins have different absorption rates? And what does my anabolic window look like at my age? Thank you
