Metabolism and mental health

Any interest in looking at how improving metabolic functions (eg; with Zone 2 training) improves mental health?

Resistence Training for Zone 2 protocol

Can you utilise resistance training in over to meet the recommended Zone 2 Training threshold like 2 hour sessions 4 times a week? If there was a way to average our lactate thresholds to stay within Zone 2 and get the benefits?

Compromised kidneys

What would be a safe dose, or what are the effects of magnesium supplementation on compromised kidneys?

Do you think the Follistatin blood test will be able to identify a risk of type 2 diabetes earlier than OGTT?

I'm thinking of the study "Elevated circulating follistatin associates with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes" published in nature (doi: 10.1038/s41467-021-26536-w). Could this replace the somewhat cumbersome OGTT? They claim to be even better at identifying the risk 19 years before (traditional) diagnose/disease of T2DM develops. Might also be connected to NAFLD...? Would be nice to hear you and Bob discuss this a bit!

Zone 2 using MATH formula

Using 180-AGE as a Low Target HR for Zone 2 training, what variability is allowed either up or down to stay within zone 2. I love being outside and going on walks, I know it is not the preferred method but given that we all only have so much time I was hoping to try and make a walking outside protocol for myself (same route, time markers for pace, and a HR zone) do you believe adding weight (RUCKING) on flat ground could get you to zone 2? Thanks so much for you podcast, I am learning so much.
