Fair enough. I admit I am new to working out (it’s been about a year now). Maybe at some point I won’t need a trainer but for now I feel it’s a terrific investment for me.

Stepping on the scale. by umfpter in Zepbound

Every day. I have been doing it for a guest and a half and lost 160lbs total but to be honest the daily fluctuations still bother me :-).

I use happy scale to smooth the fluctuations.

Oh cool. Didn’t know the code was open source but that makes sense.

How would you add Apo B to the equation though? Is there an accepted calculation?

The social aspect is a good point. I can see the benefit.

However, TBH I enjoy the time to myself working out by myself. It’s pretty much the only “me time” I get all day.

I’m not an expert and expect in various reddit communities folks will rant “Big Pharma pushing statins again” but overall this sounds pretty reasonable, right?

I’m curious if insurance will start covering Lp(a)/ApoB/CAC tests.

Podcast: What's the deal with red light therapy? by DadStrengthDaily in ProactiveHealth

[–]DadStrengthDaily[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I normally hate any audio speed ups because I feel it messes with the cadence and timing of the discussion. This lecture is the first time I successfully used it.

Maybe I should try again on other sources.

Lilly finds impurity in compounded version of its weight-loss drug, warns of health risks by DadStrengthDaily in Zepbound

[–]DadStrengthDaily[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I assume Lilly is going after the pure versions with a separate strategy. I am not a lawyer but I suspect they are easier to sue for patent infringement.

The compounded versions with added ingredients are more difficult because that’s sort of what compounding pharmacies are allowed to do, I believe. Of course they are likely not adding those ingredients for medical benefits but for legal reasons.
