My friend put $500 on a 16-leg parlay. 13/16 legs are in the bag. Three NFL moneylines stand between him and $575,367.
I will be posting today’s emotional roller coaster…
Today we take down Vegas. Also, any advice on the hedge?

For a decade, the fantasy was young blood: transfuse it into the old and turn back time. The best human trial found something stranger. Cleaning the old junk out of your blood, with no young donor at all, is what moved the clock.
1. In a placebo-controlled trial of 42 older adults, a plasma swap- filtering the blood and replacing it with a simple protein solution- made fifteen different aging clocks read younger than placebo. Pairing it with an immune booster helped most.
2. The mouse experiment behind it explains why. Dilute an old mouse’s own plasma with saline, add nothing young, and its muscle, liver, and brain repair rebound as if it had a young partner. The gain came from removing old signals.
3. The famous young factor, GDF11, fell apart. A 2013 paper said restoring it rejuvenated the heart. A 2015 paper found the opposite and blamed a faulty test. Still unresolved.
Now the caveat. The human trial was small and single-blind, run partly by the company that performs the procedure. Promising, not proven.
In the trial that worked, no young blood was used at all.

A Palestinian child's life is worth as much as an Israeli child's life.

If Laura Loomer had been around in 1940, she'd have been trying to prevent Jewish refugees from entering the US. You know she would. And if Trump had been president then, she'd have succeeded.
Myself and 2 colleagues are embarking on a medical mission to provide emergency medical and surgical care for Palestinian children from the West Bank.
We fly out on May 30th for 1 week.

When there is pain, the animal instinct is flight-or-fight. Calm yourself down and reflect instead. The pain you are feeling is due to things being in conflict--maybe you've come up against a terrible reality, such as the death of a friend, and are unable to accept it; maybe you've been forced to acknowledge a weakness that challenges the idea you'd had of yourself. If you can think clearly about what's behind it, you will learn more about what reality is like and how to better deal with it. Self-reflectiveness is the quality that most differentiates those who evolve quickly from those who don't. Remember: Pain + Reflection = Progress. #principleoftheday

Like many who commented on this post, I’m surprised by this perspective.
Short term use of a CGM in combination with food logging while working with a healthcare provider can be very informative and influence behavior change.
Considering the prevalence and impact of metabolic disease, analysis and explanation would be preferable to a hot take.

A 22-year-old follower recently messaged me asking for career advice.
Here are the 5 pieces of advice I shared:
1. Swallow the Frog: This is one of the greatest "hacks" to get ahead early in your career. Observe your boss, figure out what they hate doing, learn to do it, and take it off their plate. Easy win.
2. Do the "Old Fashioned" Things Well: There are simple things that still stand out. Look people in the eye, do what you say you'll do, be early, practice good posture, have a confident handshake. It sounds silly, but these things are all free and will never go out of style.
3. Work Hard First (& Smart Later): It's in vogue to say that working smart is all that matters. Wrong. If you want to accomplish anything meaningful, you have to start by working hard. Build a reputation for hard work—take pride in it. Then you can start to build leverage to work smart.
4. Build Storytelling Skills: World-changing CEOs aren't the smartest or most talented in their organizations. They are exceptional at: (1) Aggregating data and (2) Communicating it simply & effectively. Data in, story out. Build that skill and you'll always be valuable.
5. Build a Rep for Figuring It Out: Early on, you'll be given a lot of tasks you have no idea how to complete. There's nothing more valuable than someone who can just figure it out. Do some work, ask the key questions, get it done. People will fight over you.
Embrace those 5 pieces of advice and I guarantee you'll stand out and be on the right track.
