Screening Mammograms

Looking into the data (see below for one meta analysis), there seems to potentially be more risk of harm than of benefit for screening mammograms in patients under 60 with average breast cancer risk. How do you look at this and what do you recommend for screening (age to start and frequency) for your patients? Thank you!! https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w28648/w28648.pdf

Fish Oil Supplementation & a-fib

Would love to hear Peter’s thoughts on the increased risk of a-fib with fish oil supplementation. Specifically the STRENGTH trial results. Perhaps re-visit the topic with Bill Harris?

Zero Shoes

After purchasing Zero shoes on Peter's recommendation, I have worn them religiously during exercise and noted better foot biomechanics. Recently I have been diagnosed with moderate Osteoarthritis in one knee and have experienced knee pain. My sports medicine Dr. has recommended that I use foot ware with heel cup cushioning, ie NOT Zero shoes. Does Peter agree that Zero shoes may not be for everyone?

Sleep During Fasting

Hi! I struggle with sleep during fasting even with blue light blocking, magnesium, and melatonin. Have you personally ever taken something like suvorexant/belsomra during fasting? Are there any other pharmaceuticals you might consider?

Any views on the Eight Sleep bed cooling/heating system

I know Peter uses a Ooler pad, I am looking at getting a bed temperature system and Eight Sleep looks a bit better than Ooler. Any comments?
