Parents headstone unveiled - I can’t be buried in that cemetery though - I just want a simple mausoleum- maybe 20x40 with a marble sarcophagus and an effigy of me with my dog at my feet. Just simple like that - and enough room for the next 16 generations to be buried there.

Cortisol & Thyroid Hormone are scapegoated for more illness than just about anything else.

Deeply misunderstood & used as a throw-away diagnosis by quacks.

>99.9% of the time it’s NOT your cortisol or thyroid that is the problem. They often REACT to other physiological states.

Wow these carnivore dieters are really lucky. Coincidentally they have strokes after a few months on the diet but the diet saves them.
Reminds me of when Dr Tro saved his father from heart attack (who had a 99% blockage) luckily Tro put him on a low carb diet mths before.

He had prior heart disease and he's been trying to cure it with a carnivore diet.
He's read Big Fat Surprise so he knows it's nothing to do with his elevated cholesterol and he refused statins etc
Now he has open heart surgery in a few weeks.
Good luck

Why don't you take your meds for HTN and high LDL?
I don't trust them...
Hmm... You state here that you take 20+ supplements?

What makes you trust them?
Huberman, Rogan, or whoever...

Not to mention the untold number of hours after work sitting on a computer reading stresses, ECGs, echoes, nuclears, CTs, holters, doing refill requests, answering patient portal questions, ordering labs, writing letters, doing prior auths, etc.

It's World Liver Day today. So putting this up here for every liver's benefit.

Any of my fellow physicians get their pharma check this month? Apparently someone who works I healthcare says they know we get these and it influences our decisions -

Another reason for stopping alcohol - it’s not healthy and one of the two things people willingly consume that leads to cancer

Science is a method - although many try to defy the law of gravity- well …

For people who consume alcohol and check their liver function tests every week to see if everything is all alright, start looking beyond the liver.

The lower part of the U shaped curve is due to reverse causality. Cancer patients on their death bed, end stage COPD, severe protein calorie malnutrition all have very low LDL-C and the patients die. The patients died from the cancer, not the low LDL-C. Reverse causality. I've

Heart Surgeon Dr. Philip Ovadia Gil Carvalho MD PhD🌈 When you correct for reverse causality correctly and adjust for confounders and covariates correctly, the lower the LDL-C, the lower the mortality. This study did just that looking at 4 Million Veterans.
