ADHD & nutrition
Hello, casual listener here. I have learned to sort out the BS from listening to the nuance surrounding topics on this show and appreciate the insight. Do you have any opinions on the literature of diet interventions for ADHD? Anything from whole diets to individual foods to the notorious red food dye. I am not familiar enough with reviewing studies myself and there is a ton of overly strong anecdotal opinions on this matter so hearing your perspective would be valuable to me to know if this area is worth paying attention to or is just quackery. Thanks!
Lp(a) and CVD
Hi- there is some interesting data out there on Lp little a and CVD risk and how this measure can be an independent risk factor for CVD and CVD related events. I have very high HDL (well over 120) but according to an NMR test I got, my Lp little a is considered "high." Old school though would say I would live forever with my extremely high HDL but with this Lp(a) being high- I am now really worried. My apo b is moderately high and I have done a CAC scan and that was 0. But from what I understand that Lp(a) being high is what the issue is and that maybe because I am only 40 I have not had any issues. I do not have heart disease in my family/no-one that I know of has had a heart attack. What are your thoughts on Lp(a) as an independent risk factor for CVD/CVD related events? Thanks!
Nutrition/Supplements for Joint Health
Are there are any nutrients or supplements with good/ strong evidence for improving joint health? Most I find seem to have only a neutral or small positive impact (despite some places making very big claims, which seem unfounded; like collagen for example, where the evidence on it doing anything seems weak?).
