In this Premium-exclusive ‘Ask Me Anything’ episode, Alan &
Danny answer a range of listener questions. Topics include obesity
rates, lowering blood pressure, cholesterol drugs, PCOS, and what
issues they have changed their minds on. See the full list of
questions below.
[02.37] Do you feel that there is hope (or an
effective way forward) for obesity rates to come down? Based on
your response, why/why not?
[11.28] In this field, it seems like so many
of us have had positions we’ve held very seriously that we now see
as poorly supported by research, or just have a significant
paradigm change. It would be great to hear you look back to how
your views have evolved over the years.
[30.34] Apart from lowering salt intake and
eating foods high in potassium are there other things you can take
or do to reduce blood pressure?
[40.34] What is the best ratio of DHA vs EPA
to increase my Omega 3 index?
[46.20] Statins v Ezetimibe: Differences
between the two? Mechanism of action? Are there situations,
conditions, genetic markers where one may work better than the
other?
[56.20] I’m starting a PhD in the fall
concerning the pathophysiology of metabolic diseases and I’d like
to take some courses that would help me in my research. Would you
have any recommendations for a beginner scientist?
[59.01] Is astaxanthin a good substitute for
algae oil for someone who follows a vegan diet?
[60.45] Do you have any suggestions how to
better manage hunger in obese women with PCOS?
[64.33] Do you have any recommendations for
anyone wanting to get involved in chrononutrition research?
