[Part 1 of 4] We found that dropping allopurinol after uric acid hits 0.36 mmol/L doesn’t increase flare risk — and Dr Brad Stanfield was right. We tested it. It holds.
Daily Lab Note New study shows stepwise febuxostat dosing prevents gout flares as well as colchicine. An online lifestyle program slows cognitive decline in at-risk seniors. #GoutPrevention #CognitiveHealth #EvidenceBased https://s.fitbodyscience.com/cVg5x9
Video Fact-Check The video from Physionic examines claims about walnut consumption and its association with mortality rates in observational studies. #ScienceLiteracy #NutritionResearch #FactCheck https://s.fitbodyscience.com/5wHAKK
Daily Lab Note Walnut consumption linked to lower mortality and better cholesterol in older adults. Creatine shows sex- and dose-dependent cognitive benefits during sleep deprivation. #NutritionScience #Longevity #BrainHealth https://s.fitbodyscience.com/nLbpkK
Video Fact-Check Leonid Kim MD examines the effects of doing 20 squats daily, outlining nine potential physical benefits. #fitness #sciencebased #squats https://s.fitbodyscience.com/KzHAGE
[Part 1 of 3] Older adults who took protein supplements gained no more muscle than those who didn’t — but those who ate fermented cabbage saw allergy symptoms drop by 40% in 8 weeks.
[Part 1 of 4] We found that after just 24 hours of eating only sardines, your body switches to burning ketones — not because of fasting, but because of the carb-free fat load. Thomas DeLauer’s experiment? We checked. It actually works. 🧪
Daily Lab Note A 6-month low-carb, low-calorie diet helped 22.5% of participants achieve diabetes remission, with weight loss as a key factor. A plant extract showed potential for boosting testosterone, but viral sardine claims lack evidence. #FitnessScience #… https://s.fitbodyscience.com/g5vDAL
[Part 1 of 4] We found that chilling cooked white rice and reheating it cuts its glucose spike by nearly half — and Thomas DeLauer was right about this one. 🥶
Daily Lab Note New research shows rice’s blood sugar impact depends on starch structure, not just carbs. Refrigerating and reheating rice can more than double resistant starch content. #NutritionScience #StarchResearch #BloodSugar https://s.fitbodyscience.com/hKBbkQ
Video Fact-Check Thomas DeLauer examines the potential risks associated with consuming Brazil nuts, focusing on selenium content and dietary implications. #ScienceLiteracy #BrazilNuts #NutritionFacts https://s.fitbodyscience.com/7BSVxC
Daily Lab Note Brazil nuts may match selenium supplements for thyroid support, and just 20 squats daily can help prevent bone loss during weight loss in older adults. #ThyroidHealth #BoneStrength #NutritionScience https://s.fitbodyscience.com/hf3zag
[Part 1 of 4] We found that eating 30+ different plants a week boosts gut diversity more than any supplement — and most people eat fewer than 15. Big Think Clips missed how wild this number really is.
Daily Lab Note Open-label placebos reduced medication use in teens with abdominal pain. Resistance training helped preserve muscle in obese heart failure patients. #Science #Fitness #MindBody https://s.fitbodyscience.com/b8vhtW
Weekly Lab Note Creatine helps preserve muscle in postmenopausal women, new study finds. Atorvastatin lowers LDL but doesn’t stop aortic calcification. #FitnessScience #NutritionResearch #EvidenceBased https://s.fitbodyscience.com/CdNYpd
[1/8] House of Hypertrophy dropped a video on cheating reps vs strict form—but did they get the science right? We fact-checked the claims.
Study breakdown Drinking a whey protein shake after lifting weights led people to eat less at their next meal. They ate more slowly and found the shake thicker and creamier, reducing calorie intake by about 100 calories. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/9yYS7d
Daily Lab Note Caloric restriction beats liraglutide for reducing visceral fat in prediabetes. Training hamstrings at longer lengths boosts growth. #FitnessScience #NutritionResearch #EvidenceBased https://s.fitbodyscience.com/EBPeG7
Study breakdown Two groups lifted weights differently for 8 weeks — light with many reps, or heavy with few reps. Neither pushed to failure. Both gained similar strength, muscle thickness, and improved muscle quality. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/3cAGRK
Daily Lab Note Low-plastic diets cut harmful chemical exposure. Long-term aspirin use in older adults raises bleeding risk with no heart benefit. Liraglutide lowers glucose even without weight loss. #science #healthresearch #nutrition https://s.fitbodyscience.com/C2qu5g
Video Fact-Check The video explores common misconceptions about achieving visible abdominal muscles, offering practical insights from Menno Henselmans on diet, training, and body composition. #fitness #sciencebased #bodycomposition https://s.fitbodyscience.com/83VFbB
Study breakdown Exposure to certain environmental chemicals linked to changes in belly fat and blood sugar levels in adults. In children, lead and plastic-related chemicals were associated with lower blood pressure and reduced belly fat. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/7N8cPa
Daily Lab Note High-fat and high-carb diets show similar benefits for type 2 diabetes when calories are controlled. Neanderthals may have gotten nitrogen from eating maggots, not just meat. #Science #Nutrition #DiabetesResearch https://s.fitbodyscience.com/yTn4hu
Study breakdown Two weightlifting routines improved strength equally, but only one increased muscle thickness. One routine also boosted strength in the unused arm. #ResistanceTraining #MuscleAdaptation #ExerciseScience https://s.fitbodyscience.com/Tsfn8S
Daily Lab Note Creatine increases lean mass even for beginners. Cheat reps may boost performance without losing gains. #FitnessScience #NutritionResearch #LiftingScience https://s.fitbodyscience.com/n692TW
Video Fact-Check Max German examines claims about butter and alternative dietary choices in a recent video. #scienceliteracy #dietfacts #nutrition https://s.fitbodyscience.com/9XWuDw
Video Fact-Check Steak and Butter Gal explores five methods claimed to reduce belly fat by lowering cortisol levels. #scienceliteracy #cortisol #healthclaims https://s.fitbodyscience.com/xVp4db
Study breakdown Tirzepatide reduced heart attacks, strokes, and heart-related deaths similarly to dulaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes and heart disease. It also lowered blood sugar more and led to greater weight loss. https://s.fitbodyscience.com/5f9qY8
Daily Lab Note Statins slightly raise diabetes risk but strongly protect the heart. GLP-1 drugs improve metabolism beyond weight loss. Aspirin offers no heart benefit for healthy older adults and increases bleeding risk. #science #health #nutrition https://s.fitbodyscience.com/ZKM7AH
