it’s always good to get plenty of protein and whey has a lot of upside too beyond just being protein.

swimming is great. It just has to be balanced with something that provides a bit of impact for healthy bones.
One of the great things about Bend is how easy it is to get in some fun, high impact training- ie mt bikes, skiing, hiking, etc.
I hate running so no high impact training option for me there

The difference between the reference range and optimal range for blood work… Huge difference that nobody talks about
.

hmm I just turned 36 and haven’t really done squat at the pcp for overall health. Where do I even start? Like what do I ask for? I imagine there are some pcps that have more of a focus on this
I always just went to the doctor when I got sick but now I’m getting to the age I should probably think about stuff more.

Go get an annual physical, that's the main starting point. I have no idea if they do a full blood and pisser work up if you don't have a diagnosed issue. Hopefully they do so you can get the info on how you're doing generally and build the history year over year so you can identify if something changes.

Sigh, you're gonna get me to go look at 20 years of blood work to see what those ranges say. I have had blood work done at a bunch of different places, but all in northern VA and Maryland, and all have been pretty universal in the measurement of good.

Some food for thought here…
1- I'm always skeptical of "clinical trial of one" type claims. Show me a peer reviewed study based on clinical trails of 1000 "pure carnivores" over 6 years vs 1000 "healthy, balanced diet" guysm, both with equal amounts of physical activity and then we can talk.
2- Our ancestors having been "pure carnivores" before the agricultural revolution is pure hogwash. Almost all hunter/gather societies were omnivores eating the variety of plants as well animal proteins. The only exception I can think of are the Intuits we were evolved over thousands of years to eat and all protein/fat based diet and even then they were living on the edge of what's physically possible as opposed to the healthiest humans to ever walk the Earth.
3- Certainly the mostly rice Chinese or Vietnamese peasant diet wasn't optimal, but then consider who the longest living humans on Earth are. It's the Okinawans who eat mostly rice, soy, vegetables, and little bit of fish and pork. Examples are plentiful around the world of balanced diets that are superior to the American one.

The Intuits were the inventors of Quickbooks.

The fucking guys on an Alaska Airlines logo.

If you did your research you would have found that the "Blue Zone" thing was fabricated. Those people eat a mostly meat or all-meat diet. I also know you well enough that whenever you trot out the phrase "and then we can talk" it means you've shut down your brain to any other possibilities.
