For anyone interested, I thought I’d share a link to the presentation on peak health by Dr Chen I previously mentioned.
It turns out an audience member made a video! It’s shaky and he will eventually edit it, but here it is!

That’s very telling and not surprising given the posts I’ve seen on X by him. I don’t know him personally but I suspect what’s going on here is that when a lot of someone’s personal interest is getting himself and other people into better shape (which seems to be the case for him and his clients) it’s very common to not want to acknowledge evidence indicating that interventions that make you more fit in the short term (e.g. high protein intake) may be negative for longer term health. What people in such positions do often is backwards rationalize to themselves why their actions to maximize fitness must be good for them.
This may or may not apply to him, but this is very common in general especially among men that clearly like lifting weights and gaining muscle in the gym. I’m always a little skeptical of advice from such people because even I’m not totally immune to this either since I like being strong and fit and having a little more muscle than is necessary optimal for longevity.
