TOP TAKEAWAYS: Biological age can be measured through blood glycation markers Dean and his wife both tested 10 years younger than their chronological age using GlycanAge testing, which measures how glycated proteins in your bloodstream indicate metabolic efficiency and oxidative stress levels
It all starts with a single vial, a sterile syringe, and a deep respect for the science
The Precision Peptide Genetic Test instead maps pathway-level variants in GLP1R, FTO, and MC4R that describe your metabolic baseline context to bring to a provider alongside clinical evaluation, not a substitute for it
Oral prednisone is strategically employed for HS patients in three ways: As Rescue during severe flares Bridge to biologics or surgery High dose 80mg daily for 3 days THEN taper by 10mg every 2-3 days (Total time on prednisone is 2-3 weeks) As Brakes to preemptively mitigate flares Can keep patients out of the ED 20-40mg daily for 3 days As maintenance treatment for severe HS in conjunction with other therapies For patients who have maximized other therapies, are unable to tolerate other therapies, or have a steroid-responsive comorbidity (e.g., Keratitis, PG) Prednisone 5-10mg daily Make sure to monitor calcium/vitamin D, blood sugar, and blood pressure and to obtain DEXA scans with long-term use of steroids Dr
