"Tech Neck" Procol

You mention a "Tech Neck" protocol on your recent podcast, either AMA or maybe the Orthopedic one. Would love to hear about this given it's something virtually all of us likely experience and I know I consistently have tightness/issues in my shoulders/neck.

Aggressive statin therapy and its effects on muscle growth, endurance, and athletic performance in younger individuals with elevated Lp(a)

I've received a lab report back with moderately elevated Lp(a) (111.9 nmol/L) and have gotten a recommendation to go on a statin (atorvastatin 40mg/d) due to family history of severe ASCVD. As a runner, a weightlifter, and a hiker, should I be concerned with the effects of statin therapy on my ability to perform the exercises I want to do? Side question: what might underlie the myalgia that's the commonly reported AE in people taking statins?

photobiomodulation

Seems like we are currently bombarded with ads for Red Light Therapy devices ever since the FDA has approved the therapy device - supposedly. What are you thoughts? I see you have had a lot of questions concerning this topic, but have not yet responded. Hope you can put this topic to rest - yay or nay?

What's your current take on water fasts?

You mentioned in a recent podcast episode that you haven't fasted in 18 months. Previously you were a strong proponent of "long" (multiple days) water-only fasts. What has changed?

Phenibut

You mentioned that you have been using Phenibut as a sleeping aid. What was your dosage? Did you use it daily? It is mentioned, one gets a tolerance or even addiction with withdrawal symptoms. What is your experience/opinion?
