Fasting didn't lower inflammation on its own. Losing fat did. That's what this trial found: weight loss, not diet quality alone, tracked with lower inflammation. When fat cells grow too large, they become insulin resistant and start releasing inflammatory signals. Shrink them and both problems ease. The best eating pattern is the one a person can keep that lowers insulin long enough for fat cells to shrink.

LAST WEEK RECAP 📉 The Nasdaq had its worst week since the April 2025 tariff selloff and the S&P 500 wiped out over $1.3 TRILLION in market cap 😳
15% of the S&P 500 report earnings this week…
What the heck is going on!?! Let’s recap 🗣️
Interesting.
Global smartphone purchases have collapsed.
Worldwide smartphone shipments dropped -22.0% YoY in Q3 2026, to 255.3 million units, their largest quarterly decline on record.
Samsung's shipments fell -5.8% YoY, to 57.8 million units, while Apple's declined -4.0% to 57.3 million units.
At the same time, Xiaomi shipments fell -29.2% YoY to 30.7 million units, Oppo dropped -34.5%, to 25.6 million units, while Vivo fell -31.5%, to 19.1 million units.
This comes as memory costs have surged +350% since last year, driven by AI-related demand, putting further pressure on smartphone manufacturers.
As a result, soaring component costs are forcing vendors to raise prices and reduce budget-focused offerings, with consumers increasingly keeping their existing devices for longer.
Global smartphone sales are contracting amid surging prices.

Donald Trump set another record.
There’s NEVER been an election (since polling began in the United States) where voters said “corruption” was their top worry.
Until now.
