ADVICE

Practical Fasting For Athletes

Limit daily fasts for high performers to 12–14 hours and females to ~10 hours; use ketones and essential amino acids before fasted workouts.
Do 24-hour fasts once or twice monthly on recovery days to trigger autophagy without impairing performance.

INSIGHT

Find Your Exercise Goldilocks Zone

Extreme high-volume or high-intensity exercise can shorten longevity by causing inflammation and arterial stiffness.
Aim for a Goldilocks exercise zone to gain fitness without chronic cardiovascular harm.

ADVICE

Image The Heart, Don't Rely Only On Lipids

Use imaging (CIMT, calcium scan, CT angiography/clearly scan) to assess plaque type and location rather than relying solely on lipid panels.
Understand plaque will progress and choose a regression strategy accordingly.
