How to gain or regain weight healthily
I know most people are worried about the opposite, but for some who are naturally low bmi, maintaining as we age or losing in the event of a health moment is a real issue. I have embraced your high protein/ strength training message. At 60 I feel great and have great appetite and so far no trouble maintaining my weight. My older sister is super thin and experiencing mild reflux that is causing her to narrow her food field and decrease her already anemic appetite. I worry this is a situation that could spiral downward. I know that you even experienced weight loss following your shoulder surgery. Looking for any strategies for "priming the pump" to restore appetite and gain in a healthy way. My sister has also been trying to up her protein, but I am afraid it might increase her satiety even more.
PCOS and insulin resistance in women
What's the best framework to understand PCOS symptoms in women (facial hair growth, acne, irregular periods, etc) and whatever is at the root if it? Most providers just treat symptoms but the literature shows a correlation with insulin resistance and eventually diabetes. Is managing blood sugar levels a sound intervention for women diagnosed with PCOS?
Sleep Efficiency vs Sleep Quality
I've been able to increase my deep sleep by 15% on average by cutting off food within 3 hours before bed, but I am at about an 80% sleep efficiency score on the Oura. I'm a 35-year-old male and I've recognized that my efficiency can improve. What are some of your go-to suggestions when it strictly comes to sleep efficiency assuming that someone is in bed for enough time?
