🩸 Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): The Future of Diabetes Care CGM is one of the most powerful tools in modern diabetology. It doesn’t just give numbers, it tells the story of a patient’s glucose life in real time. Unlike HbA1c, which gives a 3-month average, CGM measures

Unified Exercise Intensity Framework (ACSM–ESSA 2025) Resistance & endurance training align on one continuum of intensity, effort, and physiological stress, bridging %1RM, reps, VO₂max, lactate thresholds, RPE, and OMNI scales. 🔹 Spectrum • Very Light (30–50% 1RM | 15–20+

We often hear about the negatives of drinking alcohol, but longevity physician Dr. Peter Attia says he still drinks in moderation, when social benefits outweigh the negatives. “Try to never have more than two drinks in a day. And try to never drink more than three hours before

Fat storage in the body relies on specialized structures called lipid droplets. In a new Science study, researchers identified the microprotein adipogenin as a regulator of adipocyte lipid droplet size, revealing a key mechanism in lipid homeostasis. Learn more in this week's

How much oxygen your body can use is one of the best predictors of long-term health This figure shows how cardiorespiratory fitness (VO₂max) - the body’s ability to use oxygen during exercise predicts health, longevity, and physical capacity across life. VO₂max reflects how

New hypothesis for relative energy deficiency in sport: overtraining/underfueling -> cortisol (stress hormone) -> lower thyroid hormones -> lots of bad metabolic and hormonal stuff The thyroid angle is interesting given past controversies (e.g. Salazar). outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

This one finds that isolated high 1-hour post-load glucose defines a distinct pathophysiological phenotype that is particularly responsive to lifestyle interventions that was a high likelihood of achieving remission through restoration of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function
