The problem is entirely about patients refusing to do what they know is good for them if it takes any self-discipline, so doctors resort to medication. You can't force them to have healthy lifestyles.

I'd also check out these two episodes from Barbell Medicine on Vitamin D where two doctors discuss the pros and cons of supplementation. * https://soundcloud.com/user-344313169/vitamin-d-mixdown-1 * https:/&

I use an emulated scientific calculator Android app which has all the features of a physical calculator but none of the performance issues. If I'm at my laptop, I usually just use a IPython REPL.

Fiber consumption has long been known to reduce cholesterol levels in a dose-dependent fashion. Current recommendations are to get 15+ grams of fiber per 1000 Calories, but we know from, e.g., hunter-gatherer populations that humans can eat

Doctors and public health organizations literally have dietary and physical activity guidelines.

Math Academy has a comparable Discrete Math course that shows you how to solve every problem after you submit a solution and incorporates spaced repetition.

If you have a <1% pass rate from beginning to end, then that strongly suggests that your admissions criteria is intentionally low enough to admit students that are unprepared for the program so that you can take their money. You could ea

I'd also check out HtDP [0] or the similar two-book set on problem solving and program design by Marco T. Morazán [1]. They both come from the Racket school of pedagogy and focus on systematic program design [2]. The first resource i

Math Academy has some of that but remains a calm and distraction-free learning environment that still actually teaches anyone who shows up to regularly and consistently do the work. Worth checking out.

It's the sort of thing you can just experiment with and see for yourself. Try eating the usual health-promoting diet high in fiber and low in saturated fats from animal sources, mostly whole foods, lots of fruits and veggies and legume

I learned about it on the Barbell Medicine podcast! They had an episode dedicated to it. Highly recommended to search their episodes for anything about health or fitness you've been curious about.

If you made a Venn diagram for the non-genetic risk factors for heart disease and Alzheimer's, they'd basically be a circle. Being worried about dementia but ignoring things like heart disease, diabetes, poor sleep, getting enough

It's like time in the market. In a real sense, you've spent decades likely increasing your risk unnecessarily when taking action early would have given you the greatest leverage to lower your lifetime risk. But you can't chan

Yeah it's definitely more about saturated fat from animal sources. A leaner cut like tenderloin is fine. Ultimately you just want to keep the calories you get from saturated fats from animal sources to less than 10% of your daily calor

There are specific recommended minimums in the physical activity guidelines about strength training and endurance training where meeting them is likely to significantly reduce your disease risk and improve your health: https://ww

Health guidelines take into account when screening/testing is a net harm or benefit for patients in general, and when they move from being a net harm to a net benefit conditional on specific factors like existing diseases, obesity, etc

Blood lipids and blood pressure are both significant risk factors for heart disease. It makes zero sense to prioritize one over the other, any more than it makes sense to ignore diet and exercise.

This is completely wrong. The majority of your cardio should be LISS unless you have extreme time constraints, but most people can find 30-60 minutes per day to get the recommended time in. This is an intensity at which you can hold a conve

Lots of the damage done can't be undone when it comes to heart diseaese. Notably risk goes up with the time spent with bad numbers, so the most leverage you have on affecting your lifetime risk is caring as early as possible. It&#x27

But then your bottleneck is just how quickly you can learn, which is what flashcards and spaced repetition address.
