full-body MRI cancer screening protocol

Thanks for all the excellent content Dr. Attia. I'm curious if you could expound on your cancer screening MRI protocol that you alluded to briefly in your most recent podcast with Dr. Paul Offit. Specifically, how often is "every once in a while?" Any other aspects of the protocol that you think could be helpful for others? Thanks again for all this amazing work you are doing (especially recently in providing clarifying info on vaccines.)

Risks - Making Decisions on Personal Safety

Many of the topics on longevity are medical. I am curious on deep dive into how Peter, and other subject matter experts, assess risk. What mental models or decision factors do you utilize to ensure your personal health and safety? Examples include hobby activities like hunting or driving race cars, but could also assume normal tasks, driving, home safety, crime, etc. Injuries can be detrimental to lifelong health. A deep dive into daily activity risk choices would be helpful, especially given how prevalent many of these physical injury/death risks are.

Childhood Nutrition & Fasting

What are Peter’s recommendations for childhood nutrition opposite the views that caloric restriction may benefit longevity - how does this get balanced against a child’s nutritional growth requirements? What other childhood nutrition principles does Peter or other experts suggest? Peter is notoriously disciplined about his own nutritional intake and monitoring, but as a new father, I am curious about how he manages this with his own kids, clients or others (sugars, processed foods, other dietary views, or uncontrolled altogether).

Isomalto-oligosaccharide

What are your thoughts on IMO? I have read a few reports regardings its glycemic and insulinogenic properties and was hoping you could weigh in. many thanks

Non-traditional treatments for Covid?

Hey Peter, I've heard interesting things about non-traditional, low cost treatments for Covid such as ivermectin and nebulized hydrogen peroxide (as advocated in Dr. Thomas E. Levy book, "Rapid Virus Recovery"). If we don't treat the world for the virus, I don't see how we beat it. Do these alternative treatments have any merit?
