Damn. The CDC CDC/BRFSS just released its annual state-level obesity prevalences. US obesity worsened again in 2022, with dramatic increases in many states in just 1 year. The US is completely off the rails. All the data, maps, subgroups here: cdc.gov/obesity/data/p…

Looking forward to this chance to chat about my research on Oct 25th

A fantastic video from Gil Carvalho MD PhD🌈 with William Cromwell, MD discussing the importance of BOTH Insulin Resistance AND ApoB in heart disease. Heart disease is multifactorial and focusing on one factor alone, to the exclusion of others, is shortsighted.

Here's an opportunity to do a PhD with a phenomenal team of researchers led by Kelsie Johnson and with Sam Shepherd Alun Hughes and my own PhD supervisor Fatima PdeHeredia (she/her) If you're interested in diet, exercise and metabolic health, check it out shorturl.at/bceqR

“In summary, based on the limited evidence, creatine supplementation appears safe and potentially beneficial for children and adolescents.” jissn.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

The math behind a 75% reduction in early heart disease. - APOB <60 - Systolic BP <120mmHg - Don't Smoke - Active Daily - Aerobic & Resistance - Insulin Sensitive Not easy. But a lot easier to do earlier in life rather than later.

The modern world massively incentivises us to make poor health choices. It's true, and it's not your fault that it does. But it is your problem. If you don't work out a solution for you. The modern world will work one out for you. And you probably won't like it.

Food for thought - surely this helps make the case for primordial prevention - long before bone shows up in an artery @nationallip European Society of Cardiology European Atherosclerosis Society

I was interviewed for an article on the carnivore diet for the Irish Examiner There's only so much that can be covered in a few paragraphs but I'd love to hear your thoughts. #heartdisease #carnivorediet
