Summarize this video The video explains a human trial showing that statins can increase insulin resistance and sharply lower GLP‑1 levels, likely by altering gut bacteria and reducing a beneficial bile acid (UDCA), and that supplementing UDCA may reverse these metabolic effects in both mice and a small human pilot study. Key findings In 30 people starting atorvastatin vs 10 controls followed for 16 weeks, statins raised HbA1c, increased insulin levels and insulin resistance, and cut GLP‑1 levels by about 50% with a continuing downward trend. The study links these changes to a statin‑induced shift in the gut microbiome, depleting certain Clostridium species that make the secondary bile acid UDCA, which in turn appears to drive insulin resistance and lower GLP‑1. In mice, statins and microbiome transplants from statin‑treated humans reproduced insulin resistance and GLP‑1 drops, but adding back the bacteria or UDCA restored glucose metabolism and GLP‑1. A small human pilot in five long‑term statin users taking 500 mg/day UDCA improved HbA1c, reduced insulin and insulin resistance, and restored GLP‑1 levels. Author’s perspective The presenter is upset that a 2024 Cell Metabolism paper with these findings never entered mainstream or even academic medical discussion, and that most doctors he informally polled did not know statins lower GLP‑1. He argues this reflects healthcare incentive structures that favor profitable, protocol‑driven care over simple, inexpensive metabolic fixes, while stressing he is not giving medical advice and urging viewers to discuss the data with clinicians and to spread awareness.

It's amusing and sad that hospital food is nearly all garbage, nutritionally.

Huh, new thing to try.

I always use Deez nutz. But seriously, every person who's tried the balsamic-pecan things loves it. Obviously, not a traditional/real pizza.

Here in the US, we let the beef and dairy industry tell us how their products are good for us, despite both being correlated to the highest mortality and highest disease rates. We've actually made it illegal for people to show video of beef processing plants, and for companies to provide labeling showing that their product doesn't have these harmful ingredients. Follow the money. Also, we can't have socialized medicine *and* tell people to eat garbage. Until now I hadn't thought of that; where you get government health benefits, you have government advising you to eat healthy. Whoa.

LOL, also that was expected.

Agree with Dave mostly, but... The effects of nitrate-laden ultra-processed meats like salami/pepperoni and the like are pretty deep and long lasting. Small quantities have a lasting impact on your body. Here's an idea for you. Our pizza treats are made from a Jewish or mediterranean lavash, matzo, or similar low-processed bread base. There are a ton of options that are fun and tasty if you leave the Wonder Bread section of the store. Make up a sauce, red, white, whatever, with less-shitty ingredients than what Dominos is using. It's easy to do, think of the flavors and seasonings you'd like. While I try to minimize the use of oils, just some olive oil, pressed garlic, and thyme makes an amazing coating for the crust. Then we add low-processed vegan cheeses, and veggies. Tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, etc. This will sound crazy, but everyone loves it when I do it. Marinated arugula topping. Seriously. Marinate some arugula in balsamic or red wine vinegar for half an hour. It kills the bitterness and you end up with a nice green/earthy flavor, plus balsamic on a pizza is amazing. Edit to add: Don't overlook nuts as a topping. Crazy, I know. Walnuts/pecans with the balsamic are a great marriage. Pine nuts on a more traditional pie. This is "free" nutrition packed with good stuff, and a great texture adder.

Everyone thinks of magnets as attracting, but opposing magnets make a great spring. In this case they may even work without tape.

LOL, I immediately thought of "BRAWNDO! It's got electrolytes!" Adding vitamins to arsenic wouldn't make it safe, but a few of these a year isn't doing anything bad. It's the habitual users who are fucked. I once drank 11 Red Bulls in a row at a bike meetup. They were free. I think I'm fine, though the neon lights had halos and I saw a UFO on the ride home.

Very familiar with it, took me some time and lots of evidence to get a relative to kick the addiction.

That would be full retard. It's a soda with extra death.

Something that most people don't know is that both BPC-157 and GHK are endogenous. We just might not make enough of them, so this is just boosting what your body already does. The Cu binding with GHK obviously is exogenous, and needed because we have completely fucked the copper available in our food supply. In the body, natural GHK binds to copper and both are used for angiogenesis, tissue repair, and nerve growth/repair. If you lack copper, it can't do the job.

https://nutritionfacts.org/blog/how-low-can-ldl-cholesterol-go-on-pcsk9-inhibitors People with genetic mutations that leave them with an LDL cholesterol of 30 mg/dL live exceptionally long lives. Can we duplicate that effect with drugs? Data extrapolated from large cholesterol-lowering trials using statin drugs suggest that the incidence of cardiovascular events like heart attacks would approach zero if LDL cholesterol could be forced down below 60 mg/dL for first-time prevention and around 30 mg/dL for those trying to prevent another one. But is lower actually better? And is it even safe to have LDL cholesterol levels that low?

Hi, my name is Carlos, and I haven't bought a non-running motorcycle in 31 days.

You can easily make encapsulations to make the peptide (or other things) survive the stomach acid. So that snippet is true. BUT!!!!! You can't modify a decapentapeptide like this to make it cross the intestinal epithelium into your blood. From memory, this peptide is around 1500 Daltons in size and the typically absorbed range is around 300-600. So they can claim they aren't directly lying, but they are lying. You'll shit out intact peptides.

GLOW and Anela protocol are the common names for the blend of peptides. Commonly it's 50mg of GHK-Cu and 10mg each of BPC-157 and TB-500. Use those names as google food for some research. It's an injection, almost no peptides can make it from the gut to the blood. As a general rule, an eaten peptide works in the gut if at all (BPC is good for gut issues), injected for the body, and nasal for the brain. Obviously topical for skin, and GHK-Cu mixed with hyaluronic acid is great on your skin. The pen in my pic above is a 25-dose injector, easy. See my peptide vids here: Edit, FUCK, I forgot the picture.

I can hook you up, first hit free, LOL. It is stupid cheap. Summary of things I've talked about a bit before regarding GLOW (the blend above): Neighbor with chronic and acute knee pain can now RUN up the stairs. Wife asked why he was doing that, "because I can!" He had been told to either get surgery ($36k) or experimental stem cells ($9k per treatment with no guaranteed fix). Friend did it after a serious shoulder injury before surgery. The surgical team put their blessing on it, and the surgeon said the healing had been "remarkable" during the meantime. I doubled up on it before and after cataract surgery. Was told that it may be the fastest healing he's ever seen. I was seeing well in 14 hours, not the predicted 24-72. Etc. The originator, of the protocol Anela, uses it in her practice with sportsball people and their injuries.

Yes.

Passenger. "PAX" in the airline industry is industry shorthand for passengers, used widely in operations, manifests, and booking systems, stemming from old reservation systems where the 'X' acted as a placeholder, similar to 'fax' for 'facsimile', and it signifies any person carried on an aircraft, excluding crew. It's seen on manifests (e.g., "150 PAX on board") or for booking counts (e.g., "3 PAX"). I am tangentially aware that people are suddenly exposed to a shitload of ads and influencer shit about peptides, much of it misleading. I don't know what you've heard, but if you ask a decent AI to describe it, the answer will be real. BPC is one of the three peptides in the concoction I've posted about before that has had miracle-level healing for a couple people. Almost nobody that is trying to sell it to you is going to give you a good price nor proper testing. I also have never studied it as a standalone product, but only in combination with GHK-Cu and TB-500/TB4, or Epitalon. What do you expect from it?

We charge extra for heavy luggage but not the pax?

Fuck, with all the travel and shit going on, have not made this yet. Propane usage is less than expected. So it's not pissing me off. About once a month I take two tanks to the fill place among other errands, while the third is in service. $3 x 8 gallons.

Shit, I typed this and didn't hit submit. Yes. No. Yes for screws no for VHB tape. See #2 above, toss it. Probably 15, logical guess though. Unlikely to be more than 63 for sure. A/C, doesn't matter try them. Fuck no unless you want constant annoyance like my neighbor. Did you get any of the other stuff? Did you notice the thermostats can all be doorbells, alarm controllers, and even a phone and Siri station?
