    Really want to hear the rest of these AMAs, but the $20/month subscription is just a bit steep. I would suggest having tiers in your subscriptions, or even consider a pay-what-you-will model. I suspect that would bring a dramatic increase in overall subscribers, probably more than enough to offset the per-subscriber rate cut. You’d be engaging a much broader audience, including myself, who are very interested but still on the sidelines with their $$

    The full episode and the show notes mention that the optimal amount of protein is somewhere from 1.6 to 2.0 grams per pound of body weight ("The correct answer is somewhere from 1.6 to 2.0 grams per pound of body weight"), but I think what is meant is somewhere from 1.6 to 2.0 grams per KILOGRAM of body weight. That would be consistent with Peter's typical 160-180 grams of protein per day.

    • @alan2102X

    Attia's stats are wrong. The anual background exposure to radiation in most of the World is 2.5 millisieverts. A CT scan delivers from 4 to 20 millisieverts of radiation. That is, a single CT scan will deliver to your body an amount of radiation equivalent to 2 to as much as 9 years of background radiation. The worst are abdomen and full-body CT scans which expose the patient to, on average, the equivalent of 7 years of background radiation. In fact, the amount of radiation is so large that about 25% to 50% of people exposed to whole body CT scans experience mild symptoms of radiation poisoning. We now know that between 0.5% to 2.5% of *all* cancers are caused by CT scans.
    The problem is that doctors are absolute apologists for CT scans and other highly destructive medical "treatments".The reason for this is a combination of convenience, legal reasons and greed. I have talked to doctors and they all say that the "benefit"(accurate diagnosis) of a CT scan "far": outweights the health risks of exposing the patients to the radiation of a CT scan. Really? Even when the patient arrives in the hospital after a mild bump to the head or something like that, doctors think that the benefit of exposing the patient's head to 4 years of background radiation "far" outweightsthe benefit of just looking at the head to see if there is a shattered bone? The truth is, doctors and hospitals make *huge* amounts of money from CT scans. They don't care about your health. It's about $$$$$$$$$$. A hospital will make $5,000 from a 10 minute exam from insurances. It's disgusting how they will push completely unnecessary and *harmful* medical "treatments" on you just because they want to purhchase that second yatch. Just like when you go to the dentist because you have a single cavity, and they want to CT scan your entire head even though it is 100% unnecessary. They do it because they are not interested in treating only your cavity. They want to seek any litle wrong thing there might be in your teeth so that they can push as many dental treatments as possible on you to make more $$$$$$$. Fun fact: a dentist flat out told me this, and that this is the reason why he quit the dental clinic he worked in, because the head dentist flat out said to all dentists that they should push as many treatments as possible. It's extremely scary that the people encharged of taking care of our health are mostly greedy businssmen with the exact same mentality of oil executives. And it's not like the doctors actually cure anything anyway. How long you live is determined mostly by your genetics, by your ability to wards off cardiovascular disease and cancer, which are the two biggest killers of Human beings. Doctors's don't do shit. Most of the gains in life expectancy of the past 50 years have been do people smoking less. Life expectancy is actually falling in the U.S. Medicine, at *best* keepsa you alive for a couple more years with no quality of life whatsoever while they suck dfy your life savings. If you see a 105 year old that is mentally sharp and walking on his own two feet, it is because of superior auto-repair instructions coded to his DNA, and not because of anything that a medical doctor has done for him. Look at his parents, and you will find a man who's dad died at 98 and who's mom died at 109. What doctors do is pretty much irrelevant. Controlling infectious diseases is the only thing that Western Medicine ever got right. It is an abject and utter failure at everything else.

      U R a Muppet. Seems U can't even tell a DEXA discussion from a CT discussion. FYI: "DEXA has a low radiation dose (0.009-0.027 mSv). While radiation dose of Computed Tomography (CT) is higher (0.06-2.5 mSv)". If you are going to call out someone for citing incorrect DEXA data, don't then conflate/confuse that with full body CT scan data.

    Please can you do a deep dive on "wear and tear" arthritis of the hip. Conventional doctors just say wait for it to get bad enough then have a hip replacement!
    They tell my mother to rest and not move, but she will lose muscle. This time last year she was walking outdoors. Now still in her 50s, she's pain and getting less flexible and gaining weight.
    No advice on diet, fasting, body muscle to fat ratio, exercise, gut health or supplements etc.
    I feel taking high strength painkillers daily then other medications to mitigate the negative side effects of the painkillers on stomach and then layering that with advice to have a biscuit or toast doesn't seem to promote overall health. Pain management at any cost on full body health and quality of life.

      She should still be able to do non-weight bearing exercise such as a bike to maintain or improve fitness. Activity, including weight bearing will actually promote joint health, assuming she isn't already "bone on bone". Do some light strengthening exercises for the hips like bridging and bands around the knees and see if she can get the pain under control and then progress to more weight bearing exercise.

    How does DEXA account for water percentage difference in muscles? Sodium levels can swing water levels tremendously, and therefore muscle (water) mass.

    • @JULIOALCALA-q2m
      @JULIOALCALA-q2m 3 місяці тому +1

      It does not. At the moment of the scan 3 main tissues are measured(bone minerals, fat and lean mass) and whatever is inside the tissues. Ex: water, glycogen, plasma, etc.
      In our practice, we instruct our clients to keep normal hydration and to avoid working out prior to the scan. It is to the clients best interested to measure meaningful numbers so no reason to try to cheat the scan.

    For a patient whose indication for DEXA is osteoporosis, will body fat metrics be given on the report automatically? Or does it need to be specifically asked for?
    When my elderly family member had one she asked to get body fat measurements as well as the BMD measurements, and the radiology tech looked at her like she had three heads.

      Some DEXA scanners do not have the capability to do body composition scanning. It is common for diagnostic centers to have dexa scanners with only the filters and software to only measure bone.
      GE Lunar and Hollogic Discover are two tow tupes of DEXA scanners that have body composition capabilities.

      He touched on the fact that even if you don't follow a TRF regimen, you shouldn't have your biggest meal late in the day which is unfortunately the most common way to eat in many developed countries. He recommends more than 3 hours between your last meal and bedtime to avoid high cortisol and insulin while sleeping.
