I did a lot of research while making a video on the subject and wanted to share.

The first Nature study analyzed CT scans from 27,000+ adults across two cohorts. People with healthier thymuses had ~50% lower mortality, 63% lower cardiovascular death, and 36% lower lung cancer risk — even after adjusting for age, sex, smoking, BMI, diabetes, and heart disease. Thymic health also tracked with metabolic markers: higher HDL was good, higher triglycerides/glucose/blood pressure/BMI/inflammation were all bad. Physical inactivity and smoking were both independently harmful.

The second Nature paper found cancer patients with healthier thymuses responded better to immunotherapy acr

There is a tool that estimates your cardiovascular, ASCVD, and heart failure risk. Its called he PREVENT tool and it was updated last week to include people 30+ (it used to be 40+)

The AHA/ACC also updated the guidance of when lipid lowering therapy is reasonable or recommended. It's really long, but worth referencing.

I have been answering health questions I personally have, as a way to start a YouTube channel. My allergies have started kicking in this year so I was motivated to get through this topic ASAP. I learned a lot in the process and I am hoping the research I did is helpful for others too.

Seasonal allergies was a bigger topic than I expected and the video ended up getting super long. Here are my main things I learned/verified for those that do not want to watch:

• Seasonal allergies are getting worse. Pollen starts earlier, lasting longer, and hitting more people than they used to.
• Zyrtec is generally considered safe long term, but it can cause more drowsiness than Claritin or Allegra.
• Nas

I recently started a YouTube channel where I answer listener questions by reviewing the available research and data. Right now I am pretty much the only listener so I am answering questions that are relevant to me. I'm hoping they might be helpful for others as well.

A lot of this data unfortunately comes from studies with a small number of participants, so much has to be taken with a grain of salt.

Here is my Carbidopa/Levodopa takeaways along with the full video if you are interested. A lot of this data unfortunately comes from studies with a small number of participants, so much has to be taken with a grain of salt.

• Levodopa peaks in the blood within about 30 to 45 minutes on an empty stomach.
• Delayed gastric emptying affects roughly 45 to 70 percent of Parkinson's patients depending on how it's measured. Levodopa c

Attia being maybe canceled motivated me to start a youtube channel that I had been kicking around for the last few years.

The idea is to take "listener" questions and walk through the research so they can be better informed when they go to their provider.

I say "listener" questions in quotes as right now I am the only "listener" of my own channel. This was a real life question I wanted to answer for myself.

I apologize, my video editing skills are very basic, but the point was to deliver the research in a digestible format and I hope I did that. Let me know what you think. Thanks!
