I have been battling patellar tendon pain on and off for about ten years. Of recently, it has been constant in my left patellar tendon for about two months now. Any loading of the joint causes searing pain . Once warmed up it's more manageable especially with knee sleeves but I really can't do any loaded squats anymore, so I have moved to more deadlifting and sled work. My question is in regards to nutritional supplements to support tendon repair. I have been doing a higher dose 20-25g per day of grass fed hydrolyzed collagen, and I want to give it a couple months to see if it makes a difference, but have been intrigued with the rise of peptides, specifically BPC-157. Any insight on peptides in the lense of tendon repair and anti inflammation? Would love to get back to running more and Olympic lifts. Thanks! LDL Increase after starting Keto Walt writes: After starting keto in January my LDL has increased steadily to 139 mg/dl. I started this diet, ostensibly, to improve my health. (Being a type 1 with two cardiac stents) My A1C improved greatly and my blood pressure normalized with a small intervention from 5mg of Bystolic in the a.m. I was on a lot more BP meds prior. All good, right? My cardiac NP, however, is not psyched on the increase in LDL and had me speak to a lipid specialist. Lipid specialist is old school and is vehemently opposed to this diet and way of eating and started in with the whole “red meat and fats are bad” speech. My numbers: Total cholesterol: 234 LDL: 139 VLDL: 16 Triglycerides: 81 Cholesterol/HDL ratio: 3.0 ApoB: 94 Lipoprotein A: I’m currently taking Repatha injection every two weeks. Thanks for any input! Walt Longevity focused exercise modalities for older adults Jay writes: Robb & Nikki, I've enjoyed following your content over the years and truly appreciate your down-to-earth approach and commitment to providing accurate information. I’ve managed to stay relatively fit throughout my life. For the first 30 years, I followed the average American diet (not so healthy), but I was never really overweight and stayed active. At age 30, I began to focus more on training and nutrition whole food omnivore diet that includes plants and meat, 1lb protein per bodyweight with 70-80% from meat an animal products and carbs and fat balanced, roughly 2000 calories per day. Over the years, I’ve been consistently inconsistent with the type of training I do, which probably explains why I haven’t seen significant improvements. I’m now 50 years old, 140 lbs, with what I estimate to be around 13% body fat (my body fat scale has read between 7-10% for over 10 years). I’m searching for a weekly training plan I can commit to, one that will help me maintain optimal physical health as I age. I’ve had some back issues over the years, so my training is tailored accordingly, mainly focusing on bodyweight exercises. After gathering information from many trusted sources, I’m leaning towards a weekly program that includes: - 4 resistance training sessions, focusing on push, pull, and leg exercises split over the days (30 minutes each session, 4-8 good sets per movement) - Maintaining a daily step count of 8,000 - 12,000 steps - One day of higher-intensity cardio to get my heart rate up - 2 days of longer-duration Zone 2 cardio (30-45 minutes each session) - 3 days of a few low-impact bodyweight power exercises, incl
