Twenty-three years ago, Cleveland Clinic researchers pointed at a natural way to support heart health by managing cholesterol. That finding still shows up in how people talk about plant sterols and lipid numbers today.

I care about this because heart risk and insulin resistance travel together more than most people realize. Food choices, movement, and sleep all pull on the same rope.

Treat it as education, not a prescription. Look at the research with your own eyes, then ask your doctor what belongs in your plan.

The SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth study projected that 48,000 kids would have type 2 diabetes by 2060 if trends held steady. We hit that number in 2021. Nearly 40 years early.

If the 2002 to 2017 trend keeps going, the bigger projection is 220,000 kids by 2060. At the pace we're on, we're probably ahead of that one too.

In most cases, type 2 in kids grows out of the habits we model at home. Too much sugar, too much snacking, not enough moving. Habits can change, and our kids are watching what we do.

Your teammate builds a feature with AI in 20 minutes. Then you spend the afternoon working out what it does. Are you becoming the bottleneck?

I think that question hides two different problems: the amount of code coming at reviewers, and the understanding that hasn't happened before the code reaches them. They need different fixes. In this video, I use one example (a spreadsheet import that quietly brings back an old phone number) to show what understanding a code change actually involves, and end with two things to try on your next few pull requests.

If you're an author: before your next pull request, ask yourself whether you could help someone reason through what the code will do. If you're a reviewer: what's actually taking your time? Tell me in the comments.

What if you could drop your blood pressure by about 10 points without losing a single pound, just by changing when you eat?

A team at LSU led by Elizabeth Sutton had men with prediabetes eat all their food inside a 6-hour window that ended by mid-afternoon. Five weeks. Same food, same amount, no weight loss.

Their insulin came down, their bodies got more sensitive to it, and both blood pressure numbers improved.

When insulin stays high all day and all night, your body spends more time storing fat and you drift toward insulin resistance. I wish I had known more about this in my corporate years.

Something simple for tonight. Finish dinner a little earlier and skip the late-night snack.

long rant where i go into ai psychosis

Is non-violence good? Flattening small violences to zero is a gateway to harm, but obviously, the goal isn’t to jump in the opposite direction and do a bunch of harm either. This video describes how I attempt to thread the needle and find a description of the situation that minimizes harm, instead of just erasing it. The first part is explaining how action is a distribution of risk, and how not everything is about the outcome you hoped for. After that it is talking about the harm you cause if you ignore that. The next sections are talking about how non-violence impacts how you can do resistance, and how I would rather yall think about things.

But overall the answer to “should I be non-violent” is going to be that I don’t think it is a good framework to use in the first place. I don’t think minimizing violence is negative, but I do think we need to actually think about what that means.
