Mindsip insights from this episode:
Beware weight loss drugs for potential heart muscle loss
GLP-1 agonist drugs like Ozempic may cause significant loss of not only skeletal muscle but also cardiac muscle tissue, as shown in rodent models and cultured human heart cells.
Choose affordable creatine monohydrate for strength gains
A recent study found that expensive creatine hydrochloride offers no better benefits for strength or hypertrophy compared to plain, cheap creatine monohydrate.
Utilize BPC-157 and KPV peptides for faster surgery recovery
For accelerated surgery recovery, the peptides BPC-157 and KPV are recommended for their regenerative properties and ability to reduce inflammation.
Enhance mitochondrial recovery with C60, methylene blue, and red light therapy
For enhanced mitochondrial health during surgery recovery, take C60 and methylene blue 30-60 minutes before using full-body red light therapy.
Avoid creatine gummies to prevent wasting money
Many creatine gummies may be a waste of money because the creatine can degrade into the biologically inactive byproduct, creatinine, during the manufacturing process.
Verify purity of Kirkland olive oil to avoid adulteration
Testing of Kirkland brand olive oil showed signs of potential adulteration with canola oil, indicated by ten times higher linoleic acid levels and lower polyphenol content than standard olive oil.
Investigate plasticizers and caffeine in Costco hot dogs
Mass spectrometry analysis of Costco hot dogs revealed they contain plasticizers, including a flame retardant, as well as a surprising amount of caffeine.
Beware muscle atrophy risks from Metformin use
The popular longevity drug Metformin can induce muscle atrophy and negatively affect the muscle-building response to resistance training by activating AMPK and myostatin.
