Quotes of the Day

Supplementing your diet with herbs and plants to lower glucose is reasonable, both in capsule form and added into dishes. A few grams of cinnamon have demonstrated benefits at lowering blood glucose and improving lipid parameters without apparent side effects. Gymnema sylvestre is also mildly effective. Powdered fenugreek seeds require too large a dose to be effective so are more difficult to utilized. There are other plants and plant extracts that have little side effects and have been shown to mildly lower blood sugar. They include green tea, acacia extract, hops, bitter melon, and nopales cactus. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman

Buying Standard Example: 1. Multifamily property. 2. Cash flows of $200 per unit, per month after all expenses have been paid. 3. Property must be purchasable for a discount (at 80% of what it's normally worth). 4. Property's value must be capable of being improved by 10% during the first year through "forced appreciation" (such as a paint job and landscaping). 5. Property must appreciate at 3% per year after year one. [2015] - Brandon Turner

It was perfectly acceptable to sustain a drawdown of 10% if it was the result of five consecutive losing trades that were stopped out at 2% loss each. However, it was inexcusable to lose 10% on one trade. [2006] - Boris Schlossberg

Time and time again anxiety usually emerges as the number one cause of insomnia. Many people worry that if they "don't get to sleep sooner" their productivity will suffer at work or they'll feel exceedingly bad during the day. Their anxiety about the consequences of not sleeping ratchets up to fear, and before long, they're in such a state of vigilance that they're as far from sleep as it's possible to be. But bad sleep is much more dangerous in your mind than it's in real life. Just because you got little to no sleep the night before doesn't mean you can't handle the next day. I'm not saying your day will be chocolates and roses. I just don't think you'll end up being truly dysfunctional. [2017] - W. Chris Winter

TruDiagnostic provides the DunedinPACE result and metrics for immune cell function, "fitness," telomere length, and other reports; GlycanAge ($348 for one test, $599 for two); Generation Lab (4 biological age tests for $149 per month and a VIP program for $3,499 per year). Companies including Tally Health, Elysium Health, and Novos Labs offer aging clocks and supplements to pair with them. I don't recommend any of these tests (or supplements), including telomere length and epigenetic clocks. There are useful in research studies, but there is lack of clinical validation from rigorous randomized trails that having some body clock information leads to improvement in metrics or health outcomes. [2025] - Eric Topol
