Z / Runner 🏃🏻‍♂️

🏃🏻‍♂️ protein (top my listen/reads) per attia (covered pros/cons)

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ meaning, i know the ups/downs/risks/rewards of protein: suppose the operative keyword is "safari" for diet just everything else in life. Post march 1st, i plan to embark a "be shamir" routine for workouts, so upping the protein to 1.8x. June will schedule another fx panel. I suspect the results will be different. Fat loss vs. endurance training vs. muscle building.

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ 10 more pounds? If so, your epic 3700 calories burned yesterday should make it easy in the coming 8-10 weeks.

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ muscle vs. fat? I hover around 130 - 132, upper body bulking up… assume dexa/within data confirms muscle gain on you as well?

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ negative, researching the diff between blood draw vs. stool sample. (i.e. https://www.viome.com/)

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ yep, ingesting the data and listening to his notebookLM readout.

  • 🏃🏻‍♂️ yeah, it is so context dependent… that's why so much of healthspan is "people + memory".

Stephen / Basketball 🏀

  • 🏀 i went through 90% of attia already, you 200%.
  • 🏀 definite from attia / shamir, but divided among researchers. but my top puzzle is still calorie deficiency / fat loss, so i won't stress about protein for now.
  • 🏀 sadly my weight hovers around 170 for 2 months now.
  • 🏀 due to my genetic predepositions (diabetic and heart), my target is 160 pounds and 15% fat – regardless of muscle gains. my suspicion is that body change is required for weight loss – rather than constant or small calorie deficit. probably due to microbiome and fasting in my last 15 pound loss. you are good and final on microbiome?

🏀 z, do a full run on kai's biomarkers? that may give us new perspectives on the problem you are describing and the tools we can be building. he's 7.1/49.1 = 14.5% younger.

  • 🏀 you can dm him to collect a few qualitative facts and goals? i already talked to him for a few hours during a warriors game.
  • 🏀 exactly. whether 10 questions can achieve his goals or it must be logging his life over 100 days. "apple watch, strava, exercise calendar, withings scale, dexa scans.."
