Role of yoga and rest in an exercise programme for a 65 yo male
I complete a daily 30-40 minute Manflowyoga session (Dean Pohlman) that focuses on strength and flexibility plus stability. How does such a programme fit in with your thoughts on what is best for a seventh decade male? In much of the discussion you encourage almost daily cardio and/or strength exercise. Where is the rest in this and do you view it as important re recovery, particularly for older folk?
Any clinical studies regarding effects of "HGH fragment 176-191" peptide?
People market this peptide as: no unwanted effects of growth hormone, just weight loss. It's supposedly the fragment of HGH, only the part responsible for weight loss. Is this a fact, any studies regarding this? What's your opinion about this
Role of yoga and rest in exercise regime.
I currently undertake a 3--40 minute session of Manflow yoga everyday - how do you see this fitting into the cardio/resistance training? Being 65 there is much advice about rest between exercise, so currently I follow a 3 day routine of Day 1 weights (1 hr), Day 2 row zone 2 (1 hour), Day 3 rest - what is yor view of rest given you seem to exercise every day? Great book - a manifesto for life.
Bempedoic acid
I would appreciate a deep dive into this promising drug, Bempedoic acid, especially for statin intolerant people (like myself). I believe Peter’s take on treating ApoB aggressively makes perfect sense, but for the many statin intolerant people out there the only real alternative seems to be PCSK9 inhibitors, which are expensive and mostly only covered by insurance when there already has been an event. This leaves the average statin-intolerant Joe like myself with little alternatives - pay the roughly USD5k/yr out of pocket or else what? Bempedoic acid is still expensive in the USA, but can be bought at relatively low cost in other countries, and in combination with ezetimibe it could be a life saving option for me. Of course other alternatives are welcome too. The question really is: what alternatives does a statin intolerant person has who cannot afford a PCSK9 inhibitor and for who insurance won’t cover the cost of treatment because his/ her LDL-C level falls within the ‘normal’ range according to clinical guidelines?
