A doctor and a bitcoiner. Exploring how plunging down the bitcoin rabbithole makes me a better doc for my patients. I post mostly about topics related to health and bitcoin.

You could just eat more meat. I only supplement with like 3-5 grams of creatine because it *might* give some benefit to anaerobic training. A lot of creatine trials were done by supplement companies, so that should be kept in mind.
I do think most people are horribly nutrient defficient today because they are eating a ridiculous grain-based diet with next to no red meat.

There is no marker of gut bacteria health. We know next to nothing about the gut microbiome. For example, the fact that they influence the brain is a relatively recent discovery and hasn't even fully penetrated the establishment.
That being said, my guess is that the gut reacts the best to fatty meat. The bacteria break down almost all the nutrients they require to short chain fatty acids anyway.
Also, regarding the uric acid (urate actually) and kidney stones. 75% of kidney stones are calcium oxalate, so urate stones are a minority of stones. It has been common knowledge in medicine for decades now that blood urate levels correlate to urate stone and gout incidence, but no causal link has been established (i.e. a person with very high urate levels might never form urate stones or develop gout). It is why alopurinol, a drug that lowers urate levels, should never be prescribed for lowering urate levels in people who never had gout or urate stones.
What is necessary for urate crystals to form in the body is inflammation. So, even though red meat increases urate levels a bit, it is not itself inflammatory. This is why carnivores usually report a drastic improvement of gout symptoms when adhering to a strict red meat diet.
What else increases urate levels? Fructose is exclusively metabolized in the liver, which produces urate. Since sugary processed foods, which are also rich in seed oils, are also highly inflammatory, you get the golden recipe for gout and urate kidney stones. The metabolization of alcohol also produces urate and inflammation, so people who have gout issues should cease all alcohol and junk food consumption. Instead of saying that, however, most of my ignorant colleagues recommend reducing red meat consumption, which is contraindicated for humans.

It is kind of baffling to me that I have friends who unironically call themselves socialists, to me it is the same as if I walked around calling myself a nazi.
Anyway... most of them point to America as an example of the woes of a capitalist economy (disregarding the fact it is also the most powerful nation in the world), while I try to explain to them that USA is more and more looking like a backwater communist banana republic.
A central bank is one of Karl Marx's 10 planks of socialists and we need to remind people that fiat money is socialism, not free market economics.

You gotta get on some medication, come on. At least 2 antihypertensives. Also 1 sedative and a beta-blocker to block out the feeling of existential dread by numbing yourself. Oh, and you are doomed to have "insulin resistance", so you just gotta take metformin and make peace with taking insulin a decade from now. If your stomach reacts to junk food by causing heartburn, just numb it with PPIs and continue eating like a madlad.
If your brain really starts trying to make you stop, you gotta numb it further by taking some SSRIs and an opioid (you probably have back pain from not doing deadlifts and sitting all day watching TV anyway). Proceed to go to the Netherlands, where doctors will kill you if you ask them really nicely because life is unbearable. As a normie, you gotta trust the experts.

Metamask connects to Infura's servers by default, which is just another arm of the Ethereum Foundation (run by Lubin iirc, and also nobody runs their own ethereum node lmao).

Good job, Lyn. A novice can get their deadlift up by doing a single heavy set of five reps every workout (i.e. every 48 hours) if you're interested in progressing.

The human body is not a steam engine, it reacts to all stimuli. You don't need to constantly measure electrolytes or keep track of every single micronutrient you consume. Hunger is a physiologic response to a lack of food, and seeking salty foods is also a physiologic response to a possible lack of sodium. If the body doesn't get enough sodium, which can happen during starvation for example, you will actually secrete very little sodium through the urine. Human physiology is simply amazing like that.
Salt is sodium chloride, both of which are utilized by the body. Potassium can be found in meat, but its concentration is very tightly regulated by the body. Magnesium, calcium and other elements can be obtained mostly from... water, which might be a problem in some areas admittedly. Ancient humans had to worry about parasites, but water pollution, not so much.
Salting is especially important during the initial phases of any ketogenic diet because a rapid insulin decrease leads to an increase in the loss of sodium through the kidneys. This is known as 'keto flu' and can be avoided with salting to taste and drinking regular water.

Haven't gotten around to writing a better response, but for now I will say that eating carbs and fat together is contraindicated as it leads to Randle cycle activation and subsequent inflammation. Eat your carbs and fats separately, always. This is why junk food and the standard american diet (SAD) is so harmful to the body.

#Bitcoin changed my life because it forced me to stop just blindly trusting the authorities. It lead me to question everything I was taught, which made me realize most of it was, indeed, bullshit.
Bitcoin lead me to discover the #carnivore diet, which has radically transformed my life for the better. I feel better now than when I was finishing high school. This made me feel good enough to want to start using my body, so I started lifting weights, which has transformed me physically.
Learning about bitcoin quite literally made me into a better person.

Starches are polymers of glucose, they functionally metabolize identically to "sugar carbs", which are just dimers of a glucose and fructose molecule.
Fiber is an anti-nutrient undigestible carbohydrate whose only purpose seems to be to slow down the rate of glucose absorbtion. As such, fiber is completely redundant in a proper human diet.

Ridiculous and false. War crimes are committed always by all participants in a war, there are no 'good guys'. But 1) Croatians did not have an extermination camp for Serbs, you can look up Srebrenica for that, 2) Croatians did not occupy a foreign Serbian city and proceed to torture and rape the local population, you can look up Vukovar for that, and 3) the Serbs started the whole thing, and now we are supposed to blame NATO for helping to end the thing. Fuck that.
Serbs still hate the west for the bombing instead of realizing that their own government was to blame. It is uncommon for a Serb to admit fault, they always play the victim.

What I sound like is a person who knows a thing or two about Serbia, Yugoslavia and what happened in the 90s.

What happenes to me is that I get to live in a country full of invalids due to the actions of the Serbian government. Instead of blaming NATO for helping to end the fucking war her country started, maybe we should be blaming Milosevic, but you will never hear Serbs admit their part of the blame.

This thread was infuriating to read. I have heard personal accounts about the atrocities Serbians committed in Vukovar in Croatia. How your soldiers would torture civilians and pass them amongst each other while laughing and having a good time. How your soldiers raped and pillaged the land, how you bombed hospitals and schools.
It is sickening, you only have your government and yourselves to blame. Over 30 years ago and still incapable of admitting any blame.
To all you westerners, I implore you to read more about the terrible Yugoslavian wars of the early 1990s before showing sympathy. Did civilians die during the bombing of Belgrade? Well, yes, but this is the horror of war, and the Serbs were the ones who started it.
