“it would be to do a coronary artery calcium score by age 45 and sooner if you've got premature heart disease how is that taken so it's a CT scan of the chest you can self-order it like I think at Stanford Hospital you can self-order it last time a patient checked it was $250 so again disposable income but it it tells you it it almost gives you this fork in the road in terms of how much you need to pay attention to cardiometabolic health as a woman and it's 45 for men too so if you haven't had one have you had one no you need one”

“Creatine reduces something called the osteoclast activity or bone resorption so for some reason it really inhibits these osteoclasts from sort of chopping down our bone and increasing blood calcium levels when not needed.”
Main Takeaways:
- Creatine has anti-catabolic effects on bones, reducing osteoclast activity.
- This reduction in bone resorption helps maintain bone density and prevents unnecessary increase in blood calcium levels.

“the phoc kinetics of creatine and uh caffeine do not oppose each other but from a cellular perspective they certainly do so remember when I talked about the cop plasma reticulum caffeine likes to release calcium but likes to take it in and some really good research out of Europe have shown that they the two molecules oppose each other from a muscle relaxation time but the dose of caffeine seems to be the most important factor if the dose is over 250 milligrams or even higher that's when it seems to have the interference effect if the dose is lower it doesn't seem to have an interference effect”
Main Takeaways:
- Creatine and caffeine may interact at a cellular level, affecting muscle relaxation.
- The interference effect of caffeine on creatine is dose-dependent, with higher doses (>250 mg) causing more issues.

“actually invest in ATP that gives you energy use that energy to that myosin back into place and now it's kind of sitting there but it can't bind strongly until calcium comes into the picture it gets released from the sarcoplasm reticulum that has to come to the equation it has to cause this confirmational change and act in and move these T tubules or that comes from T tubules we move some other things around once those things get moved around by the Cal theas is like oh boom it connects something and then it just almost subconsciously snaps as hard as it possibly can and that's why you can't regulate Force production is like it's just going to catch and snap catch and snap in order for that to go back you actually have to invest more ATP”

“Vitamin D is a pre-pro hormone it's not active at all vitamin D is converted in the liver first step to a compound called 25 hydroxy vitamin D that is a pro hormone it also is inactive it has no activity whatsoever from there 25 hydroxy vitamin D can be metabolized one of two ways it can either be one alpha hydroxylated in the kidney to the active form one alpha one uh 25 dihydroxy vitamin D which will then do all of the business of vitamin D such as calcium absorption from the gut suppression of the immune system at the toll like receptor 4.”
