A big reason people give for not exercising is no time. While it's great to get in a 30+ min workout all at once, do you need to? In this blog I discuss the evidence supporting smaller exercise session, multiple vs one per day and the weekend warrior. drscottlear.com/2023/06/01/is-…

Excellent review article on the brain control of energy homeostasis and implications for anti-obesity pharmacotherapy. New peptide-based drugs directly target brain pathways to deliver safe, sustained weight loss. The CNS and gut-brain axis are key to next-gen obesity treatments…
I like how this review by Simeon P. Cairns bit.ly/4lr3ZST highlights that even the experts have disagreed on the effects of 'lactic acidosis' on fatigue & performance.
