Your LDL isn’t the only number I care about when I look at your cholesterol panel. It’s helpful, but it doesn’t tell us the full story.

ApoB is another number that reflects how many artery-damaging particles are circulating in your bloodstream, while Lp(a) is a genetically inherited cardiovascular risk factor that most people are never tested for.

CAC score can be helpful, but a score of 0 doesn’t always mean risk is 0. It doesn’t detect soft plaque and may miss risk in younger patients or those with elevated Lp(a).

The goal isn’t to scare people into taking statins. The goal is to understand risk more accurately. Prevention is key.

Send this to someone who needs to understand their heart risk.

Had the honor of speaking in Cannes at longevitydocs.™ alongside some of the brightest minds in longevity medicine.

We spent the panel discussing trust, influence, physician brands, and social media.

Then Jessica Shepherd MD MBA FACOG challenged us to make a video live on stage 😂😂😂

So of course, I used the opportunity to get a room full of the smartest longevity docs to be my hype team….

Did it work?! 😏

Ok girlies I know you don’t want to hear this, but your cute Celine dupes may be damaging your eyes. 👀 gentlemen, this probably applies to you too, but I have no idea what dupes you’re wearing…

Dark lenses do NOT automatically mean UV protection.

In fact, dark lenses can cause your pupils to dilate, allowing more UV to reach the eye if the lenses aren’t properly protected.

Look for:
• UV400
• 100% UVA protection
• 100% UVB protection

Don’t assume dark is protective! It’s not! I just want you guys to stay safe out there. 🙏🙏🙏

Please share this with your bestie who looooves her Amazon dupes (we all know them)

Let’s address the controversy - matcha doesn’t cause iron deficiency. 🍵

Like coffee, black tea, and red wine, it contains compounds called tannins that can reduce iron absorption when consumed with a meal.

It’s the same reason we typically don’t recommend taking iron supplements with coffee and often suggest taking them on an empty stomach (or with vitamin C) for better absorption.

For most people, this is more about timing than avoiding matcha altogether. Enjoy the polyphenols.

I like to give the Dementia Prevention Team a little extra time on Sundays as a doctor who cares about longevity.

Jokes aside one of the reasons I prioritize sleep so heavily is because your brain has its own waste clearance system.

During deep sleep, the glymphatic system becomes more active, helping clear metabolic waste products that accumulate throughout the day. This includes beta-amyloid, a protein associated with Alzheimer’s disease when it builds up over time.

While we can’t say that getting extra sleep on Sunday night prevents dementia, we do know that consistently poor sleep is associated with worse cognitive outcomes and increased risk of neurodegenerative disease.

We spend a lot of time talking about supplements, peptides, NAD+, red light therapy, and longevity protocols.

But one of the most powerful things you can do for your brain tonight is also one of the least glamorous -

GO TO BED 😴

Most people think of a DEXA scan as just a bone density test. I call it a financial audit of your health - muscle and bone are your assets, and fat is your liability.

A DEXA scan really shows:
- Whether “normal” weight on the scale is hiding poor muscle-to-fat balance
- How much of your weight loss is muscle vs. fat (crucial for anyone on GLP-1s)
- Visceral fat levels, one of the strongest predictors of chronic disease

DEXA gives you what the scale can’t, and is ideal for tracking trends over time that strongly correlate to longevity.

You know EXACTLY who needs to hear this. Send this post to them.
