A good summary of acetaminophen use during pregnancy. The evidence is definitely concerning Not a slam dunk but the higher quality the study, the more likely it is to show an association. Seems like there is probably a genetic component since sibling studies don't find an obvious association. If you can avoid acetaminophen use especially when young or pregnant it seems like an obvious no brainer.

the nice thing about "longevity" influencers is that their theories will be tested in an absolute way with time.

we are almost at the point where very few people need a primary care doc to do anything other than order them labs. The motivated patient who wants insights into their health just needs one large comprehensive baseline lab panel and access to an open source Ai model (i recommend kimi k2 or qwen2) to help interpret any of their results and guide them to correct any deviations from optimal health. Then yearly checks on subset of their labs to help check how their diet has impacted any issues. Using an open source model without you account (right now via @Maple AI or @PayPerQ) Ordering Docs right now serve as gatekeepers who will have to adapt to be experts in interpretation and guidance since their "knowledge" of human physiology is being widely and rightly distributed into the hands of the general public. One doc with the power of LLM tools can now help thousands of people manage their own health. If you pair that doc with a telemedicine practice they can help a community far outside of their local geography.

folic acid "fortified" bread, pasta, and cereal is detrimental to your health. folic acid is not a form of folate that can be used by your cells. Chronic high intake floods your system with unmetabolized folic acid, which: -Masks vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms while allowing neurological damage to progress undetected -Accelerates cognitive decline -Increases colon cancer risk in people with pre-existing lesions https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/21/4699 image

Many gut microbes break down carbohydrates (fibers, sugars) into short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and reduced electron carriers (like NADH). To maintain redox balance, they dispose of excess electrons by producing hydrogen gas using enzymes called hydrogenases. Key hydrogen producers in the gut: -Bacteroides -Clostridium (certain species) -Enterobacteriaceae Hydrogen does not just accumulate endlessly: -Methanogens (archaea, e.g., Methanobrevibacter smithii) consume H₂ + CO₂ → CH₄ (methane). -Sulfate-reducing bacteria (e.g., Desulfovibrio) consume H₂ + SO₄²⁻ → H₂S (hydrogen sulfide). -Acetogens (e.g., Acetobacterium) consume H₂ + CO₂ → acetate. This whole "hydrogen economy" of the gut allows us to maintain balance in an ever oxidizing world

unfortunately taking "antioxidants" has never shown to create any meaningful clinical outcomes. this is probably because the antioxidant must be oxidized in order to donate a hydrogen ion to an existing molecule in the body that has been radicalized. the antioxidant swaps with the radical and unless there is excess hydrogen, then the antioxidant remains oxidized until excretion. https://www.dcscience.net/The%20antioxidant%20myth.pdf

ozempic face is just one of the hallmark signs of unhealthy weight loss on average of 7% of facial volume lost for 22 pounds lost, mostly from fat pads in the midface—cheeks and areas around the nose, mouth, and temples these are all the signs of advanced and rapid aging. these patients are losing collagen and elastin in the skin and that's just the visual manifestations of internal cell health. https://aao-hnsfjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ohn.1209 image

this is secret that hollywood actors use to get lean and ripped for physical roles. many instagram influencers try and and hide this super simple (but tough to follow) regimen behind paid newsletters etc. Steps: 1. 16:8 Protocol: Eat within an 8-hour window (e.g., 12 PM–8 PM), fast for 16 hours. 2. Protein Priority: 1–1.2g per pound of bodyweight daily (e.g., 150g for a 150lb person). 3. Calorie Deficit: ~500kcal below maintenance, but no strict tracking—"eat until full" with lean meats, eggs, veggies. 4. No "Cheat Days": Strict avoidance of processed carbs/sugars. Alcohol is banned! 5. Three weekly workouts: Focus on pull-ups, push-ups, dips, and pistol squats with progressive overload (e.g., weighted vests). No cardio so appetite won't tempt body to overeat carbs. image
