Journal

In my journal you can find my ongoing notes, ideas, research and thinking on my own health, performance and longevity. These observations are specific to me, and you should always talk to your doctor before making any changes.

1. Combating my Lp(a) level

My work and ideas to try and reduce the impact of my moderate genetic Lp(a) risk

2. Double-checking my estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

Using a Cystatin C test after a worrying eGFR based on Creatinine suggested I might have early stage kidney disease

3. An exploration of fats prompted by my confusion over whether frying with extra virgin olive oil creates trans fats

I had read conflicting advice on whether it is safe to fry in extra virgin olive oil. In digging into this deeper I realised I needed to learn a bit more about fats - which is also useful for my work to reduce the imact of my genetic Lp(a) level.
