    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    But that's how it works - you displace one drink with another. So if one beverage is "less bad" on net, then making that substitution is smart. You're welcome to try and displace the entire beverage industry, but for normal people it's about making small steps in the right direction. Replace a...

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    Good podcast by two actual, board certified medical doctors (sorry Dr Mike) one of whom actually practices, on the current trend for TRT.

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    0 calorie beverage is worse than a beverage with hundreds of calories and alcohol, got it. ETA: To be clear, we should all just be drinking water. But given the choice between regular soda, diet soda and an alcoholic drink - the most commonly available drinks served with meals - diet soda is...

    In EU they drink far more beer and wine than water. What's worse, two glasses of wine or 3 beers with dinner, or two large diet cokes?

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    I had gotten up to 365 (at 5'9") in about 2019. Just crossed the threshold into type 2 diabetes. I joined a program offered through my work and with a lot of 1-on-1 guidance managed to get down to 235 by mid 2021. My A1c is back in the normal range. Diet only, no exercise. I hadn't weighed 235...

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    I think about food pretty much all the time. I think about my next meal while I'm eating. If someone brings donuts or cookies into the office, I am distracted until they are gone. Even if they weren't for my department. I always eat faster than other people. I've continued to eat while...

    No he doesn't, he's got incredible willpower.

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    My biggest concern with the TRT is getting it from places outside your normal PCP. Like the place that Williams (and now Hassell) promote on their podcasts. If you think you have a problem, just go talk to your doctor. Or get a referral to an endocrinologist. I also don't think people should be...

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    A lot of the stuff I've read indicates that low testosterone is a symptom of other issues, less a cause of issues. Things like poor sleep, poor diet, poor exercise. Those three things lead to all sorts of issues including low testosterone. For example, visceral fat, the fat that surrounds your...

    Artemis 2 Launch - Going Back to the Moon

    Bigger ships are slower and harder to maneuver. I'm sure they've done the math on it. Consider also they need to get very close to the landing zone without actually getting hit. Easy for a little boat to get out of the way.

    Good catch, thanks. Ive seen the same message from the guys at Barbell Medicine, who ARE board certified doctors. One of whom actively practices.

    Ozempic, GLP-1 and other modern diabetes / weight loss medications

    For those jumping on the peptide train, there is a good review of the state of the industry by "Dr. Mike" Isreatel. Basically, only the GLP stuff has enough literature in human trials to show both safety and effectiveness. Everything else right now is a crapshoot. And he's not only a doctor, but...

    Many supplement companies game the protein values by adding compounds heavy in nitrogen. The most basic protein tests are actually testing for nitrogen, which is a big component of protein. If the nutrition label people measure a lot of nitrogen, they assume most of it is protein and label it as...

    Yeah, it won't hurt you but probably isn't helping outside the placebo effect.

    What music are you listening to right now?

    Angine de Poitrine It's ******* weird but also kinda great? Lots of weird time signatures and non-Western tonalities. One person on drums, and the other on a double-necked guitar with a loop machine. From Canada but all their music is just instrumental.

    Cytown Update

    You're comparing what is mostly 2-3 story retail and office space - essentially empty boxes - with a 33 story tower that will include 360 apartments.
