Episode notes
Check ApoB For Heart Risk
- Add ApoB to assess atherogenic particle burden and aim substantially lower (e.g., ~60).
- ApoB better reflects particle-driven cardiovascular risk than LDL alone.
Leverage Wearables And Intermittent CGMs
- Use wearables (Oura, Apple Watch) and intermittent CGMs to gain continuous feedback and change behavior.
- Wearables give thousands of data points and foster agency over metabolic health.
Use AI To Log Food Effortlessly
- Use AI-powered food logging (photo, voice, barcode) to simplify nutrition tracking.
- Better logging paired with CGM and wearables multiplies actionable insights.
