#79: My calcium score was terrible. My friend’s was perfect. He might be the one who should worry. (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A friend called me a few weeks ago, sounding relieved. He is 48. His doctor had ordered a coronary calcium scan and the score came back zero. In his mind, that settled it. His LDL cholesterol (the “bad cholesterol”) has been sitting around 150 mg/dL for years (higher than the 100 mg/dL that is recommended for most healthy people), but the calcium scan was clean. Why worry? I understood the relief. In 2015, my own calcium score came back at 266, the 98th percentile for my age. I would have given
#78: Medicine is treating your age, not your body – How organ-aging clocks could predict trouble years before standard blood tests (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2015 I was 43 years old and my blood work said I was generally fine. Triglycerides: 237 mg/dL (above the 150 threshold, which is why I was advised to improve my diet) HbA1c: 5.9% (pre-diabetic, but the aforementioned diet would take care of this) Lp(a): 12 mg/dL (minimal to no genetic risk of heart disease) Nothing on that page said stop what you are doing or raised a red flag; a yellow flag at best.

#77: Breathing – The health intervention most of us overlook (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This post (#77) is inspired by a conversation with my friend Rohit Gaikwad, an engineer and technology leader with a PhD, who is also a certified yoga teacher and advanced practitioner. What made this conversation with Rohit really interesting is not just what he knows, but how he thinks. He is a first-principles thinker who wants to understand why something works, gets his own hands into the details, and only then talks about it. That curiosity pulled us into a long conversation about something
#76: Genomics, longevity, and the future of personalized medicine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Few areas of medicine generate as much fascination, hope, hype, and confusion as genetics. Just over two decades ago, sequencing the first human genome required thousands of scientists working across the globe, more than a decade of effort, and a budget of roughly $3 billion. Today, the same task can be completed in less than 24 hours for under $200. Most people intuitively understand that DNA is important. After all, it is the biological blueprint we inherit from our parents. Yet despite this e
