More men across the United States – from tech CEOs in Silicon Valley to fitness-conscious fathers and retired executives – are seeking cosmetic treatments to maintain a fresh, confident appearance. While the rise in men’s grooming and skincare trends has already been well documented, there’s now a growing demand for more advanced facial rejuvenation options, including facelifts tailored specifically to male anatomy and goals. ...
I’ve talked in the past (here and here) about the concept of whether there is a point beyond which exercise becomes too much of a good thing. Since I’m always tempted to push the envelope on this, I decided to ask Google Gemini deep research to investigate it for me: Endurance Exercise Volume, Intensity and Human Longevity. It came up with this report, which is summarized in this podcast derived from the report. It is an interesting update. In the past some studies have seemed to show a “U-shaped curve” of longevity vs exercise volume: Exercise reduces all-cause mortality, with the benefit increasing with more exercise, up to a point. After that, mortality risk increases again. This is not born out in meta-analyses of the majority of studies, however. Instead, all-cause mortality continues to go down no matter how much you exercise. But beyond a certain point, we are at higher risk of developing certain cardiac abnormalities like Afib or scarring of the heart. This seems to be more likely for those doing a lot of high intensity training. ...

Ever since my aortic valve replacement in 2017, I have been on the beta-blocker metoprolol. This is mostly to prevent possible heart arrhythmia but also helps control my blood pressure. It seems to be working fine and I have no noticeable side effects, other than my heart rate doesn’t seem to go up quite as high during exercise. Wednesday showed its effects more dramatically. I had finished my prescription bottle and Wednesday morning I could not find the replacement bottle. I usually take it first thing in the morning before any activity. I decided to go on my ride anyway and look for it later. Wednesday was scheduled to be a harder ride, a long brisk tempo ride followed by an interval session and on-bike strength training. I wore my chest strap for heart-rate monitoring, which I know is accurate. ...
