Does vaginal estrogen carry the same risk as oral estrogen? I discuss estrogen pills and creams versus vaginal DHEA and ospemifene for menopausal dryness.

  1. I have a question regarding protein intake, because I have read contradictory recommendations.

    On the one hand, there is a recommendation of 0.8 g of protein per kilogram of body weight, which is also recommended by Dr. Greger. This amount also roughly corresponds to the amount of protein consumed in the Blue Zones – about 10 percent of the daily calorie intake. A protein intake at this level appears to be related to longevity. This is also supported by studies that claim to prove the connection between an increased protein intake with a greater risk of disease and higher mortality. This is explained by the influence of increased protein intake on biological parameters such as increased IGF-1 and decreased FGF21, as you mentioned in some of your videos.

    Now the question arises for me whether there are negative consequences for health if one doubles the daily protein intake to 1.6 g per kg body weight, as recommended for strength-oriented athletes, even if the protein intake is entirely from whole-food plant-based sources such as legumes, whole grains, nuts, seeds.

    So, from a nutritional perspective, do we have to choose between A) a high muscle mass and B) longevity and a lower risk of disease? Or does such a high protein intake not contradict longevity?

    I would appreciate an answer, because I am very confused around this topic. 😊

  2. Once upon a time, in a quaint village nestled between rolling hills, lived a man named Xavier. Xavier had always been plagued by health issues. His body seemed to be in constant turmoil, with ailments ranging from aching joints to digestive troubles. One day, as he sat in his humble cottage, he stumbled upon a peculiar scroll in his grandfather's dusty old chest.

    The scroll contained an ancient recipe for a transformative diet. It was said that if one were to eat only meat for 90 days, their body would undergo remarkable changes. Xavier, desperate for a cure, decided to embark on this unusual journey.

    For the first few days, Xavier's body protested vehemently. His stomach grumbled, and his taste buds longed for variety. But he persevered, convinced that this mysterious meat-only diet held the key to his well-being.

    Days turned into weeks, and something remarkable began to happen. Xavier's body started to change, letter by letter. His A for Appetite, which had always been fickle, now became more consistent. He no longer suffered from those intense B for Bloating episodes after meals.

    C for Constipation was a thing of the past, and his D for Digestion became smooth and effortless. His E for Energy levels soared, and F for Fatigue was banished from his life. Even his G for Glucose levels stabilized, much to his doctor's amazement.

    H for Headaches, which had plagued him for years, vanished, and his I for Immunity strengthened. Joint pain, represented by J, slowly eased away, and he felt like a new man.

    K for Kidneys and L for Liver function improved significantly, detoxifying his body more effectively. Xavier's M for Metabolism kicked into high gear, and he started shedding excess weight.

    N for Nausea, once a constant companion, disappeared, and O for Overall health improved dramatically. His P for Pancreas function normalized, regulating his blood sugar.

    Q for Quality of life was at an all-time high, and R for Resilience made him more robust. S for Skin became clearer and radiant, making him appear younger.

    T for Taste buds became more discerning, appreciating the nuances of different meats. U for Urination was more regular and less bothersome. V for Vision sharpened, and W for Weight loss continued steadily.

    Xavier's Y for Youthfulness was restored, and he found himself full of vitality. Z for Zeal for life returned, as he had never felt better.

    After 90 days of this meat-only diet, Xavier's body had undergone a complete transformation. He was a living testament to the power of this ancient recipe. His health issues, represented by each letter of the alphabet, had all improved. Xavier had found the key to his well-being, and he lived the rest of his days in health, happiness, and gratitude for the mysterious scroll that had changed his life.
