Using dogs for disease detection

The latest episode of the Revisionist History podcast discusses using dogs amazing sense of smell for disease detection, but mainly focuses on screening for viral diseases, such as Covid. I am curious to hear your opinions on the studies regarding canine ability to detect various types of cancer and other diseases such as Parkinson's. Thanks!

Updated Intermittent Fasting Protocol

Hi Peter, Thank you so much for everything you share with your subscribers. The last I heard/read one you recommend one 72h fast a month. Has that changed since your last update. Could you also talk about your pre and post IF protocols calorie intake and if possible rough percentage breakdown of starch, veg and protein. Thank you.

Long-hauler, ME/CFS

Hey there Peter! I'm engaged to a hard-charging, wonderful man. But after getting what can only be explained as covid-19 given his acute symptoms back in Feb 2020, and then they diagnosed him with Mono... and then well, he didn't fully recover. He has all the ME/CFS symptoms but thank God he isn't worse off (he can still work his job, and interact with me, (+ friends occasionally)) but he's not his hard charging able to work out hard self, In fact we're reduced to walking now and hiking (we live in colorado) on the off weekends that he's feeling up for it. To be straight forward: I'm concerned. My worry is that this would get worse and I googled it all and some people are VERY much struggling to do daily things like laundry, nevermind work. Since we're engaged and I love him dearly, I want to help in ANY way that I can. I do NOT want this to get worse... seeking your urgent opinion and advice. Thank you in advance.

Fasting frequency

How often would be considered too often for a 72 hour fast? If I did a 72 hour fast every month would that likely decrease my muscle mass and change my body composition too much. What’s the optimal dose? Quarterly? Every second month? Thanks.
