The fight over saturated fat continues. As with so many things when it comes to nutrition, I believe the answer lies somewhere in the middle.

This is a diagram I draw for patients all the time. It’s to explain why their traditional lipid panel is incomplete. If we are to properly assess cardiovascular risk, we must measure ApoB.

There are three main particles that cause heart disease. They are LDL, VLDL, and Lp(a). On each one of these particles is a molecule of ApoB. By measuring ApoB we get the most comprehensive picture of your total cardiovascular risk in one number. Without measuring it, your risk assessment is incomplete. You will only understand parts of your risk.

Okay let’s talk caveats:

✅ This study was conducted in older women. The results may not apply directly to men or to younger individuals. However, the general trend that more movement equals better health is consistent across populations.

✅ As always, association does not equal causation. While women who walked more had better health outcomes, this does not prove that walking alone caused those benefits. Individuals who are able to walk more may already be healthier in other ways.

✅ Baseline health matters. Those with underlying illness, pain, or mobility limitations may walk less because they are sicker, which could explain part of the increased mortality risk in lower step groups.

✅ Step count often reflects overall lifestyle. More steps could be a marker for better fitness, more outdoor exposure, better mental health, and greater social engagement – all of which independently influence longevity and cardiovascular risk.

👉 I think the moral of the story here is to move more. Almost all studies that track activity tend to find a positive correlation with longevity and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Do you need 10,000 steps? Probably not. I would also suggest that tracking your step count alone is insufficient. Instead, strive to do things that naturally increase your step count like improving your aerobic fitness and resistance training.

If every pharmaceutical was available over-the-counter and people could take these medication’s without direction, and based only on a symptom they are experiencing, I truly believe the efficacy of many drugs would be questioned.

In my mind, supplements are no different. Since they are available over over-the-counter people take them in whatever dose they choose, and for whatever symptom they’ve been told it will be helpful for.

Gotta have a plan!

The current RDA for protein intake is 0.8g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. For someone my size that translates to about 70 g of protein per day. This is very likely enough to prevent me from being protein deficient.

But what if I don’t simply want to prevent deficiency? What if I want to live optimally? What if I want to maintain muscle mass and function as I age? Then I will need to eat more than the RDA.

I would suggest shooting for 1.6-2.0g of protein per kilogram of bodyweight per day. You will not accidentally get this much protein. You will have to plan for this.

Isn’t too much protein dangerous? No. With only a very few rare exceptions, increasing your protein intake is very, very safe.

There are A LOT of nutrition “gurus” out there that probably need to hear this. It’s also a good reminder that we all have our biases, including me, and we’re prone to believing things we want to believe.

There’s no bigger proponent than me for natural treatments and healthcare but there are people out there who will sell you something to help you without any actual knowledge simply because it’s “natural” and they heard somewhere from someone that it’s good for you.

Prediabetes is super common. It comes with documented health risks though.

How do you know if you are prediabetic?
✅ fasting blood sugar over 100
✅ HbA1c of 5.7-6.4%

it’s also important to look at the criteria for metabolic syndrome. Is that often indicates loss of metabolic control

Abdominal obesity (waist circumference):
• Men: >102 cm (40 inches)
• Women: >88 cm (35 inches)
Elevated triglycerides:
• ≥150 mg/dL (1.7 mmol/L)
• Or on drug treatment for elevated triglycerides
Reduced HDL cholesterol:
• Men:
