I recently did a medical check, and got my biometrics (following a different protocol), it’s made me very curious . I’d like to see what PBF metrics look like after 6+ months. Would you be willing to share your metrics?
Things I’d love to see, if your feeling generous enough to share
- hba1c
- fasting insulin
- lipid panel
- blood pressure
Wouldn’t it make more sense to look for larger scale scientific studies rather than looking at the values of some selected individuals?
Furthermore, looking at a one time measurement doesn’t make too much sense without context. Like if and how the different values changed over time. Different individuals have different genetics, lifestyles, health backgrounds etc.
You make great points, I’m not aware of the studies.
From my experience, Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) is a great place for research. You can just enter some key words (e.g. hba1c) in combination with plant-based, vegan, vegetarian, omnivore etc. and it will show you relevant scientific papers and studies. Still be sceptical with everything you find. Not every study or paper is independent and reliable. As a rough indicator you can look at the number of citations. Typically, good studies and articles are quoted more often.
