The Flawed Osteoporosis Diagnostic Model Density vs. Strength: DEXA scans measure bone density, which is a poor proxy for actual bone resilience. Studies demonstrate that two-thirds of fragility fractures occur in individuals who do not have an osteoporosis diagnosis. Arbitrary Diagnostic Thresholds: The current standard defining osteoporosis as a T-score of -2.5 was established in…
For years, I have advocated for one foundational meal-timing practice: finish your last bite of food at least 3 hours before bed. While often associated with weight loss, recent evidence suggests that the most profound benefits of this strategy are about aligning your metabolic engine with your circadian biology. The Science of Alignment A recent…

This is another example of alarmist, unscientific content designed to drive engagement by inventing problems that do not exist.…
The Lean Mass Hyper-Responder (LMHR) phenotype represents a distinct lipid profile observed primarily in lean, metabolically healthy individuals who adhere to carbohydrate-restricted or ketogenic diets. This specific metabolic state is characterized by a “triad” of lipid markers: markedly elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), typically exceeding 200 mg/dL, high high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) usually above 80…

However, current longitudinal research suggests this acute focus may be largely unnecessary for the average trainee. Historical…
