Accuracy and precision of at-home LP(a) & ApoB tests
I've noticed that there are at-home (finger prick) tests now becoming available for ApoB (offered by Verisana) and Lp(a) (offered by EmpowerDX). While these tests are somewhat more expensive than a blood draw version (still under $100), the convenience of being to easily test from my home is very appealing, especially to test ApoB periodically. Do you have any insights as to the accuracy or precision of these type of at-home tests vs. going into the lab for a blood draw?
Peter Attia's Weekly Schedule Work + Fitness
I'm constantly amazed by how much Peter is able to accomplish: operating a successful medical practice, hosting a successful podcast, writing a book, making a TV show, while also balancing a sizable amount of training (Zone 2, Zone 5, stability, and strength) plus family life. Can we get a high-level overview of how Peter manages and prioritizes his time. What does a "normal" week for Peter look like and how does he fit so much in?

Blood Pressure
Could you please dedicate an episode on blood pressure? I exercise almost daily, eat mostly healthy, don’t drink excessively, mediate, have a great BMI, and all my blood work shows within limits… but I can’t get my damn blood pressure down. After much resistance, I decided to go on blood pressure medication (ARB’s).
