Hey @karaswisher.bsky.social , Chris MacAskill here, remember the photos I took of of your kidz at a Gen Magic reunion? Love your CNN series but haven't seen much yet about the profound role of adult vaccines in reducing risk of dementia. I made an episode about that: youtu.be/rOfXvTdSCtY

I did not expect to see so many fit people in a CrossFit gym have high blood pressure and high fasting glucose — and especially that it could be resolved so easily in most people from simple diet changes. 🤯 youtu.be/ks0hHmkXXuo

My son Mark (in jeans) donated a kidney at Stanford to an unknown recipient. The recipient (center), who thought he was near his end after 4 years of waiting, reached out to him & now they're besties. Stanford has them speak to med students every 6 months.

Fascinating story in @nymag.com about how America's obsession with protein is taking us down the path of more processed food. 🤨 Since protein isolates don't taste good, we add sugar and flavoring to compensate. And protein isolates aren't exactly nutrient dense...

My 40-something son donated a slice of his liver to a dying baby girl. The once-desperate parents sent him a video to show that she's now thriving. The surgeon said he was thrilled to see that Mark's liver was smooth and dark red, "clearly from someone living a clean lifestyle."
