1st year reports, papers, presentations were full of extremely detailed graphs and figures. The 2nd year reports/papers presentations show a dramatic reduction in the detail of their data, clearly trying to avoid the clear exposure of the rebound (yo-yo) effect in weight and other biomarkers. 3rd year are worse. 5th year are practically inexistent. What has happen with the scientific rigor of Virta’s health reports?

Virta Health seems to be doing a fantastic job to treat/cure/prevent type2 diabetes. Still, I have one important question to ask you guys. You seem to be very critical and analytical when reading scientific literature and I’m curious about your thoughts from the whole history of reports coming from Virta’s 5 year study. I have been asking this to many other people and no one has had responded yet. I see a suspicious reduction of the published data/information in Virta’s papers as time passes.

Love all these!

This is 90% medical related, not STEM

Sounds like the spirit of Dr Richard Feynman (the physicist) is at work at IHMC with all that interdisciplinary collaboration going on.

l really appreciate Stem-talk. You bring diverse scientific topics in a thoughtful and informative way. Thank you for making the effort to inform and educate us

But that idea is too simplistic even ,since insulin resistance or HOMA score, and lepton resistance would be a confounding factors.

I have listened to a lot of podcasts, interviews, lectures; and read LCL and LCP by Phinney and Volek, GCBC by Taubes — it seems easy to argue for energy balance when there is no standard way to objectively measure hunger. Could a study be done to draw a correlation between hunger and the total of serum BOHB +AcAc +Free fatty acids +glucose, or some combination thereof?

Powerful information.

Something wrong with the audio. I can only hear the background music and not the interview.
