Mindsip insights from this episode:
Debunk C15 fat supplement hype with evidence-based insights
The evidence does not support C15 fat supplementation, with the marketing hype around 'cell fragility syndrome' being based on poor quality, industry-affiliated studies.
Question collagen peptides' effectiveness for joint health
Research on collagen peptides for joint health is weak, relying entirely on industry-affiliated studies that show only a mild 10% improvement for arthritis.
Wear a weighted vest to boost metabolism during fat loss
Wearing a weighted vest causes your bone cells to release molecules that signal the brain, potentially helping to maintain your metabolism when losing body fat.
Check Lp(a) levels to uncover hidden heart risk
You should get your Lp(a) levels checked via a specific blood test, as it's a genetically determined heart disease risk factor affecting 20-30% of people and is not on routine panels.
Implement low protein diet to boost longevity hormone FGF21
A low protein diet, around 9% of total calories, can stimulate the production of the longevity hormone FGF21, though this may not be suitable for older or exercising individuals.
Switch regular salt for potassium blend to lower cardiovascular risk
Simply switching your regular 100% sodium chloride salt for a blend containing 25% potassium chloride can significantly reduce cardiovascular risk.
Incorporate static wall squats to lower blood pressure
The static wall squat is surprisingly the most effective exercise for lowering blood pressure, reducing it on average by 10 points, which is more than some medications.
Incorporate vigorous intermittent activity to enhance longevity
Incorporating short, one-to-two-minute bursts of vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity (VILPA) into daily tasks is linked to a detectable reduction in all-cause mortality.
