Keto vs. Whole-Food Plant-Based: What’s the hard evidence for performance, insulin sensitivity, heart disease reversal, and longevity?
What do people on social media mean by “ketosis,” and does it automatically mean “healthier”?
Ketosis simply means your blood ketones (often β-hydroxybutyrate, βHB) are elevated because carbohydrate availability is low (fasting, very-low-carb diets) or because you ingested ketones.
The Protein Debate
Dr. Loren Cordain vs. Dr. T. Colin Campbell
Original context: Public nutrition debate from the mid-2000s reflecting two competing paradigms: evolutionary biology versus whole-diet epidemiology.
Participants and Context Verification
Treating heart disease with diet isn’t just a modern obsession – it’s a practice backed by millions of years of evolutionary history and the sharpest tools in modern science
To truly settle the long-running “cold war” between Dr. Loren Cordain’s Paleo camp and Dr. T. Colin Campbell’s plant-based paradigm, we have to look past the slogans and focus on the biological mechanisms of disease. For decades, we’ve been told it’s a binary choice. But the research from late 2024 and 2025 has given us a far more interesting “middle way.” One side holds the crown for heart health, while the other was right to sound the alarm about food quality all along.
Expert Angiographic Evaluation of Coronary Artery Disease Regression: The Megdal Serial Angiogram (2014–2018)
Atherosclerosis is a chronic, progressive vascular condition traditionally managed by interventions aimed at slowing its advancement.1 The measurable reversal of this condition—defined as structural regression—is the highest therapeutic outcome in cardiovascular disease management.2 Regression is evidenced angiographically by an increase in Minimal Lumen Diameter (MLD) or a decrease in Percent Diameter Stenosis ( %DS ).
Peter Megdal gets second at National Championships
We all aspire to be winners, but what does it truly mean to be a winner? It’s often defined as someone who places first in a race or excels in a competition. However, winning can encompass much more than that.
After a week of racing at the Masters National Championships in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I believe I emerged as a winner with finishes of 2nd, 14th, and 5th place in various events organized by USA Cycling.
