A great interview with @ppearlman.
The parallels between investing/retirement/compound interest with health/wellness/longevity are many & @ppearlman highlights many examples.
🎙️ Episode 24 of the Humans vs Retirement Podcast is live! 🎉
💊 It's a brilliant conversation with @ppearlman on how health & wealth are two sides of the same coin, looking at the importance of health in retirement and how it can impact our overall well-being. Here are 3 key takeaways from our discussion:
1️⃣ Start small: Taking small steps towards a healthier lifestyle can have a big impact. Whether it's going for a walk, cooking at home, or incorporating resistance training, every little effort counts.
2️⃣ Rediscover your passions: Retirement is the perfect time to reconnect with activities you loved in your youth. Whether it's playing tennis, golf, or joining a sports club, pursuing your passions can bring joy and improve your health.
3️⃣ Close the gap between healthspan and lifespan: We all want to live longer, but it's equally important to focus on staying healthy for as long as possible. Building muscle mass, maintaining bone density, and nurturing relationships are key factors in prolonging our healthspan.
If you're interested in learning more about how to prioritise your health in retirement, I highly recommend listening to the full episode. You can find it here:

“Higher muscle mass directly correlates to a higher life and healthspan. It slows aging and fights chronic disease. NVDA has been a wonderful investment over the last decade but as far as I know it can’t repair your body.”

“In both fitness & finance, you need to identify what you hope to achieve & make a plan to get there…Health and wealth fuel each other. The money you accumulate is only enjoyable if you’re healthy and happy enough to use it.“

CBO data for 2022: the bottom 20% paid an average federal tax rate of 1.4%. The top 1% paid 31.5% and covered 27% of all federal taxes. The top 20% covered 70% of all federal taxes.
You can argue about 400 people’s paper gains, but “the rich don’t pay” isn’t a serious description of the system.
The beauty of the American system (as opposed to a system like the, cough, cough, French system) is that we understand that Capitalism grows the pie. We don't demean Capitalists because they are accretive to the system and allow us to have a larger government than we otherwise would. This is a good thing and this constant demeaning of Capitalists and rich people is counterproductive.
We can have debates about fairness, loopholes and inequality without demeaning individual groups and making them out to be the enemy they're not.
Hi @elonmusk , we’ve conducted the most comprehensive study to date on tax unfairness in the United States.
We found that you, like your fellow billionaires, pay a lower effective tax rate than the average American.
So if you really want to help the American people, I have a better suggestion than charity: pay more taxes. 🧵

Neat.
"... food processing might influence metabolic responses and reward processing through mechanisms extending beyond caloric content and macronutrient composition."
Ultra-processed foods trigger a bigger insulin response than less-processed ones, even when they contain identical calories and nutrients.
When people consumed two different meals matched closely for protein, carbs, fat, and fiber, the ultra-processed one produced a larger insulin response despite a similar overall blood glucose response. It also blunted the normal shift toward burning carbohydrates after eating and changed the brain's response to eating.
I’ve talked before about Kevin Hall’s trial, where people eating an ultra-processed diet consumed about 500 extra calories per day and gained weight. This new study explains another part of why UPFs are so problematic - it shows that the way food is processed can change how our bodies handle it and even how our brains perceive it!

Direct proof of general vessel-wall weakening is sparse; most data are associative or from cell/animal work, and intensive-lowering trials show mixed or minimal hemorrhagic signals.

I used to think cholesterol was simple. High is bad. Low is good. Take a pill. Problem solved.
Then I read the Korean study. 14.9 million people. Nine years of follow up. No one on statins.
And the result was a U-shape.
Very low LDL. More cardiovascular death. Very high LDL. More cardiovascular death. The safest zone sat right in the middle.
How can both extremes kill you if the number itself is the problem?
Because the number was never the problem.
Low LDL weakens your blood vessel walls. Cholesterol builds every cell membrane in your body. It makes your hormones. Drive it to the floor and the body cannot maintain itself. The vessels get fragile. They rupture.
High LDL in someone with insulin
resistance, chronic inflammation, and a damaged arterial wall is dangerous. Not because LDL attacked the wall. Because it got trapped inside a wall that was already broken.
But here is what the system never tells you.
A lean, active person eating real food can have LDL of 300 and be one of the healthiest people in the room. High HDL. Low triglycerides. No inflammation. Clean insulin. The LDL is high because their body is running on fat and transporting energy efficiently. Not disease. Metabolism.
Same number. Completely different biology.
Two people sitting in the same doctor's office. Same LDL on the lab report. One needs intervention. One does not. But both get handed the same prescription.
Because the system was built to treat the number. Not understand the environment the number lives in.
Stop chasing numbers. Start understanding your body.

"Elite" fitness = 5x lower all-cause mortality than low fitness!
In Mandsager et al. (2018), the elite group averaged 13.8 METs at the end of a treadmill test (~48 ml/kg/min VO₂ equivalent).
How rare is that level of fitness?
A VO₂max approaching 50 in your 70s is well beyond the 99th percentile, i.e. <1 in 100 people.
And yes, in that context...
"Elite" = elite endurance-athlete levels of training!
Better get to work.
