Brain MRI
Recently I had a brain MRI for evaluation of "lightheadedness." My neurological and cardiac evaluation revealed no cause and fortunately the symptoms have lessened. I am a a 63 year old woman--never smoked, normal BPs, A1C 5.3. My lipid panel could be a little better--LDL 99, HDL 57, triglycerides 134 (usually 60-70). I have not had more thorough evaluation of glucose or lipid metabolism. I am overweight--BMI 27. I do exercise some--not enough--trying to get into a better routine. I eat reasonably healthy--maybe just too much! My brain MRI showed "chronic microangiopathic changes." I raised concern to my PCP, neurologist, and cardiologist. They all told me "not to worry--a lot of people in their 60's have these changes." This answer does not sit well with me! What would you advise that I do? Should I be doing something to optimize my metabolic situation? Or something else? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question.
Stretching deep dive
Just some AI insights into stretching. I have long known that the neurological retraining on stretch tolerance was likely a significant part of gains. I was unaware of the hypertrophy benefits. https://www.perplexity.ai/search/can-stretching-reshape-muscle-uga67tWoQ8OVlC03Ca3xBA
Mitoquinone
Mitoquinone is a novel molecule (under patent) which claims to ameliorate mitochondrial dysfunction. I’m curious but very skeptical of the claims made so far. Have you guys looked at this? If not, a meta analysis would be interesting or even summary of the existing studies (which are of questionable quality/application for humans)
