The pharmaceutical industry is driven by profit, not exactly by the goal of curing diseases. As long as Big Pharma dominates the healthcare industry, the focus will be on ongoing treatments rather than finding true cures.

We’ve all heard the promises of miracle drugs, but what we rarely hear is that these drugs often serve as lifelong solutions that keep people dependent, not cured.

The need for a system change is evident—one that prioritizes prevention, natural healing, and long-term well-being over short-term profits. True healthcare reform will come when we challenge the status quo and demand that healing, not profits, be at the center of medical treatments.

By rejecting the idea that lifelong treatment is the answer and advocating for true cures, we can move toward a healthier, more sustainable future.

It’s time to put people before profits.

We all have cholesterol in our body.

And actually… we need it.

Cholesterol helps build our cells, supports hormone production, and plays a role in many important processes.

So it’s not the “enemy”.

But again… it’s about balance.

When cholesterol levels get too high, especially the “bad” type (LDL)…. it can start to build up in our blood vessels.

Over time, this can:
🩸 Narrow the arteries
🌀 Reduce blood flow
🧠 Increase the risk of heart attack and stroke

The tricky part?

We usually don’t feel it.

No pain. No clear warning signs.

That’s why many people don’t know their levels are high until something happens.

The good news is…

We can influence it.

What we eat, how much we move, how we manage stress. It all matters.

Because cholesterol itself isn’t the problem.

It’s when the balance is off… and stays that way for too long.

Omega-3

For some time now, pharmacy journals and physicians have been warning about higher doses of Omega-3.

However, in the underlying relevant studies that link increased intake of Omega-3 fatty acids (usually >1 g/day EPA/DHA) with a higher risk of cardiac arrhythmias (especially atrial fibrillation), NO natural wild fish oils in their natural triglyceride form (TG), in liquid form with adequate oxidation protection and a TOTOX value below 10 (!) were tested.

Instead, these studies exclusively used pharmaceutical, artificially/synthetically produced or chemically modified preparations in capsule form. Although these products are often derived from fish oil, they have been highly purified, concentrated, and chemically altered (e.g., into ethyl ester or free fatty acid forms). They are not “natural” wild fish oils as found in unprocessed liquid triglyceride form.

These products are not natural triglycerides (as found in unprocessed wild fish oil or some OTC “rTG” products). Ethyl esters are chemically modified (esterified with ethanol), and free fatty acids (carboxylic acids) are also modified to improve bioavailability. All were administered in capsule form—no liquid natural oils were used.
There is not a single study that has directly tested natural wild fish oil—i.e., pure, stabilized rTG oil in liquid form—at doses of 4 to 7 grams per day with respect to atrial fibrillation risk. The warnings about higher-dose Omega-3 from the medical community come exclusively from RCTs using pharmaceutical ethyl esters (such as Vascepa, Omacor) or free fatty acids—and these were conducted at high doses (typically 4 grams or more).

More recent data, for example from the UK Biobank analysis (2025/26, OmegaQuant study), even suggest that higher Omega-3 blood levels (regardless of whether from fish or supplements) are associated with a lower AF risk, and that supplement use itself is no longer associated with increased risk after proper adjustment. This argues against excessive alarm.

The difference? Natural rTG forms (such as high-quality liquid wild fish oil) are absorbed more slowly and steadily than ethyl esters. This may help avoid the rapid fluctuations seen with pharmaceutical products, which could potentially trigger arrhythmias.

120g protein doesn’t mean 120g utilized. Maybe, you only need ~50-60 grams a day

We’ve become obsessed with hitting protein numbers. 80g. 100g. 120g.
But, how much of that protein is your body actually using?

Protein you eat is not useful as protein until: It is broken down into amino acids, Absorbed in the small intestine and Released into circulation. Only then can it be used for - muscle repair, enzymes, hormones

👉 Science confirms this clearly: proteins must be hydrolyzed into amino acids and peptides before absorption

Most nutrition systems (PDCAAS, DIAAS, etc.) measure:

food quality
average digestibility
population-level absorption

👉 NOT individual absorption capacity

Because nutrition doesn’t end at what you eat. It starts at what you absorb.
Two people can eat the exact same 100g of protein.

One digests it well → absorbs most of it → builds muscle

The other struggles with digestion → absorbs less → sees no results

Protein intake is a number.
Protein absorption is biology.

And biology is messy.
gut health
enzyme activity
food combinations
meal composition

All of this determines what your body actually gets.

So before you chase higher protein numbers…

Ask a simpler question:

Is your body ready to use what you’re already eating?

Because sometimes,
👉 Fixing your gut will do more than adding another scoop of protein.

…. And who knows … with a good gut, you may need only 50g of protein.

Lifespan, Healthspan, Diseasespan and Peakspan, which should *you* focus on increasing?

First the recap . . .

⏳Lifespan

The total number of years you are alive. Historically the focus of improvement efforts, and certainly a strong beneficiary of modern medicine, including medications & surgery, together with improved living standards.

🏥 Diseasespan

The period of life spent living with functional impairment and or chronic illness, with significantly impacted quality of life.

🏃 Healthspan

The period of life spent in good health, free from chronic disease and significant disability, life you can fully enjoy *living* without health being a constraint.

In recent years, very much more the focus of attention for proactive, preventative medicine.

Not everyone wants a longer *life*, but a longer *healthspan*? Far more attractive.

⚡ Peakspan

Newly framed (study link in comments) this refers to the years in which you function at 90%+ of your personal peak within given domains:

🧠 Cognitive
🩷 Cardiorespiratory
💪 Musculoskeletal
🦠 Immune Function
🩸 Hormonal
🥗 Digestion
🐣 Reproductive Health

There is an argument for focusing on Peakspan, not lifespan, and not only Healthspan, including *careful* use of:

🔬 Functional testing
⌚ Wearables
📊 Key metrics related to domain performance e.g., grip strength & VO2max
🤖 AI-supported tracking & pattern recognition
📈 Functional KPIs for your cognitive & physiological functioning

All aimed at informing priorities and interventions to support your flourishing & quality of life.

This is surely not for everyone. I can imagine many looking at this new idea & feeling it is a departure from just *living well*. I see that risk too.

Yet it is also a way of thinking about how to validate the effectiveness of interventions.

You may not improve Lifespan. It is challenging to be certain if you have improved Healthspan, but quantifying and qualifying improvements to Peakspan? That could be useful.

What do you think?

Useful concept?

Over-complicating life?

You decide or happy to have a debate😊🤔🙏

Waist-to-height ratio

The “waist-to-height ratio” (often abbreviated as WHtR) is a simple way to estimate how much fat is stored around your abdomen—and that’s the key part.

Why the 50% rule exists

Health researchers found that your waist circumference should be less than half your height (WHtR < 0.5) because:

1. It reflects visceral fat

Fat around your waist isn’t just under the skin—it often includes visceral fat, which surrounds internal organs. This type of fat is strongly linked to:

• Type 2 Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Hypertension

2. It scales with your body size

Unlike BMI, waist-to-height ratio adjusts naturally for how tall you are.

• A 90 cm waist means different things for someone 5’2” vs 6’2”
• Using height makes the measure more personalized and consistent

3. It’s a strong predictor of health risk

Studies show WHtR is often better than BMI at predicting risks related to:

• Metabolic syndrome
• Cardiovascular disease
• Early mortality

That’s because BMI doesn’t distinguish fat location, while waist size does.

Why 0.5 specifically?

The 0.5 cutoff comes from large population studies where risk sharply increases above this point. In simple terms:

• Below 0.5 → lower health risk
• Above 0.5 → increased risk begins
• Above ~0.6 → high risk

It’s not a magical number—but it’s a practical, evidence-based threshold that works across sexes, ages, and ethnic groups better than many other measures.

Easy way to remember it

“Keep your waist to less than half your height.”

Example

• Height: 170 cm
• Max healthy waist: ~85 cm

Bottom line

The 50% rule works because it captures central fat distribution, which is one of the most important indicators of long-term health risk—not just how much you weigh, but where you carry it.

Recently, I read a research article on postbiotics and it was an eye-opener.

While probiotics (live bacteria) get most of the spotlight, postbiotics are the bioactive compounds produced by these bacteria and they can be just as powerful, sometimes even more stable and reliable.

💡 What are postbiotics?They include:

• Short-chain fatty acids (like butyrate)
• Enzymes
• Peptides
• Cell wall fragments

Even if the bacteria are no longer alive, these compounds remain active and beneficial.

BENEFITS:

• Support gut barrier function
• Help regulate immune responses
• Reduce inflammation
• Contribute to metabolic health

The future of gut health may not be just probiotics vs prebiotics....but understanding the full spectrum, including postbiotics.

Prebiotics vs Probiotics:

What’s the Difference? 🦠

As medical professionals, we often emphasize gut health but understanding the difference between prebiotics and probiotics is key to educating patients effectively.

🔹 Probiotics
These are live beneficial microorganisms that help restore and maintain a healthy gut flora.
Common sources include yogurt, kefir, and other fermented foods.
Benefits: Improved digestion, enhanced immunity, and prevention of gastrointestinal infections.

Examples:
• Yogurt (with live cultures)
• Fermented milk (like “nono”)

🔹 Prebiotics
These are non-digestible fibers that serve as food for beneficial bacteria in the gut. Found in foods like garlic, bananas, onions, and whole grains.
Benefits: Promote growth of good bacteria, improve nutrient absorption, and support bowel health.

Examples:
• Bananas 🍌
• Garlic 🧄
• Onions
• Asparagus
• Oats & whole grains

THE TAKEAWAY:
Probiotics introduce good bacteria, while prebiotics nourish them. Together, they create a balanced and healthy gut environment.

As healthcare professionals, promoting both can significantly improve patient outcomes and overall well-being.

Most people don’t realize this…

One of the main ways doctors find cancer in the body is by feeding it sugar.

In many hospitals, doctors use a scan called a Positron Emission Tomography.

Before the scan, the patient is injected with a radioactive form of glucose called Fluorodeoxyglucose.

This glucose travels through the bloodstream just like normal sugar.

But here’s where it gets interesting…

Many cancer cells absorb far more glucose than healthy cells.

So when the scan is performed, the areas consuming the most glucose often light up on the screen, helping doctors locate suspicious tumors.

Why does this happen?

Many cancer cells rely heavily on a form of energy production called glycolysis — even when oxygen is available. This metabolic shift was first described by scientist Otto Warburg and is now known as the Warburg Effect.

Instead of using their mitochondria efficiently to produce energy, many cancer cells switch to a high-glucose, fermentation-like metabolism.

This is one of the reasons tumors can appear like bright spots on PET scans.

For me, this raises an interesting question…

If cancer cells behave so differently from normal cells at the metabolic level, maybe understanding metabolism — things like mitochondrial health, nutrient signaling, and cellular energy — is an important piece of the puzzle in understanding the disease.

The human body is incredibly complex, but sometimes the clues are hiding in plain sight.

In this case…
Doctors literally look for cancer by watching where the sugar goes.
