Any keto folks following the Covid19 crisis close enough to have seen the BMI studies where the curve over 28 BMI is concerning done in March. Fast forward 2-3 months and the CDC dropped the concern from BMI 40+ to 30+ quietly last week the age-adjusted curve moves over BMI 28. Deep diving on nutritional and lipid / CVD data studies gave me confidence to read the primary studies and data. Dig In, keto up, stay safe.

Rumors of IPOF getting Equinox. Thoughts?

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation. Relocation was approved shortly after (over 2 yrs ago) but covid meant the actual move and start of my contract with new subsidiary was delayed, I was paid by the previous subsidiary meanwhile. I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!

Have been running for the last few years and consistently get “dead feet” feeling after 3-4 miles. Feet go somewhat numb and I stop and stretch to relive the pain. Have tried a few different types of shoes (on cloud / altra / Nike) to no avail. Even tried the loosening of my shoes. Any advice? I’m in good shape and can cycle for 40-60 miles at a time so endurance isn’t the issue, it’s my feet. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions!!!
