Mindsip insights from this episode:
Get a once-in-a-lifetime LP(a) test to manage APOB levels
Everyone should get a once-in-a-lifetime LP(a) blood test, as a high level is genetically determined and means you must be more aggressive in lowering your APOB.
Understand your personal fat threshold for better metabolic health
Your metabolic health depends on your genetically-determined "personal fat threshold," which is your body's ability to store fat safely under the skin before it spills into your organs.
Utilize at-home blood pressure measurements for better cardiovascular predictions
At-home blood pressure measurements using a device like an Omron cuff are more predictive of cardiovascular disease than in-office readings.
Serve others to eliminate stress-related mortality risk
Being of service to others appears to completely negate the increased mortality risk associated with high stress levels.
Build bone density early to secure long-term health
You should think of your bones like a savings account, focusing on building high bone mineral density early in life to prevent issues later on.
Monitor grip strength to assess mortality risk
Every 5-kilogram reduction in grip strength, as measured by a dynamometer, is associated with a 16% increased risk of premature death.
Pursue your ideal self to minimize regret
At the end of life, 76% of regret comes from inaction and failing to pursue your "ideal self" due to fear or conforming to your "ought self.".
Prioritize APOB over LDL for accurate cardiovascular risk assessment
APOB is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk than LDL cholesterol because it measures the total number of all artery-clogging particles.
