Protein Restriction/Cycling

What are your views on the benefits of regular protein restriction? (E.g. 2 to 3 days of veganism per week that would create a cycle of high and low protein days). Similar to what you see in the Orthodox fasting calendar

What are your thoughts on this study?

Bottom line: Statins increase calcification potentially via their effects on vitamin K: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdfdirect/10.1002/kjm2.12373

Heart Rate

I'm wondering what might cause a high heart rate in an otherwise very fit and not particularly stressed person. My aunt has the same thing. My resting heart rate during the day is typically 85-95 even when I was a fitness instructor. It is not stimulants (coffee), drugs, etc. I'm a doctor so I know there is no obvious explanation. I passed a medical fitness test so can't get a referral to a specialist.. but I know it is not normal. I know you can't answer my particular health questions but perhaps you can answer generally speaking. Thanks Peter!! Looooooove your podcast. #gratitute

In house question,not for AMA

Hey guys. Not to sound "wo-wo-ish", but any possibility of having guests like Kenneth Cohen (https://www.qigonghealing.com/about-ken) and Bruce Lipton (https://www.brucelipton.com/about/)? They are both extremely knowledgeable and scientific and both are eloquent speakers. I truly believe that either one of them (or both) will make for enlightening, lighthearted and scientific conversation that will benefit all in your audience. Thanks so much and stay safe!

What is your framework for fixing a horrible diet?

You have spoken a lot about what to eat, but what is your framework for those who know what are good foods in theory but have trouble maintaining in practice? Are there any easy/fast recipes for someone in the category of always eating fast food?
