Deep dives
Elon Musk willing to buy Twitter at original deal price of $44 billion
In breaking news, Elon Musk has announced that he is willing to buy Twitter at the original deal price of $44 billion after previously attempting to back out due to concerns about bots on the platform. The reasons for his change of heart are not yet clear, but it could be a calculated business move, an opportunity to invest while the market is low, or even a principled decision to take on social media and offer an alternative. Whatever the reasons may be, this development will undoubtedly generate significant interest and speculation.
Creatine and Acetyl-L-Carnitine have positive effects on mood and energy levels
A personal anecdote highlights the potential benefits of combining creatine and acetyl-L-carnitine. A friend who had been struggling with low energy and depressive symptoms found relief after taking this supplement combination for 60 days. This positive outcome suggests that these supplements may be worth considering for individuals looking to improve their mood and increase their energy levels.
Net's Brain Blend supplement has received positive feedback from users, including one individual who experienced improved clarity and focus after consistently taking the supplement. The blend contains a 50-50 ratio of CBD to CBG, and its effectiveness provides support to the belief that CBG has significant potential in the supplement market. Although individual experiences may vary, this feedback suggests that the Brain Blend supplement may be worth exploring for those seeking enhanced cognitive function.
Treating Tennis Elbow
The caller has been diagnosed with tennis elbow in both the left and right elbows. They recently received a PRP shot to aid in healing. The advice provided is to avoid heavy lifting and focus on recovery. Massage, stretching, and light band exercises can be beneficial. The suggestion is made to incorporate wrist wraps for support and wrist mobility exercises. They are also encouraged to lean out to reduce stress on the affected areas. Finally, the use of red light therapy is recommended to aid in the healing process.
Dealing with a Fear of Reinjury
The caller expresses fear of re-injuring their elbow and seeks advice on how to overcome this fear. The hosts suggest gradually building confidence with small wins and slowly progressing in exercises. They recommend starting with lighter weights, incorporating specific exercises for strengthening the extensors and wrist mobility, and being cautious with explosive movements. The caller is also advised to stay hydrated and use Kinesio tape for additional blood flow. The suggestion of red light therapy is given to potentially speed up recovery, and the importance of following a disciplined routine is emphasized.
Managing Tennis Elbow in Workouts and PT Tests
The caller asks how to best support healing and maintain physical fitness during PT tests. The hosts recommend avoiding heavy lifting and practicing PT test exercises that do not aggravate the injury. They suggest light band exercises and incorporating wrist wraps to reduce pressure on the grip. When preparing for PT tests, the advice is to focus on healing and mobility work, and to lean out to improve performance. Additionally, they mention the potential benefits of red light therapy to accelerate healing.
Strategies for Recovery and Prevention
The caller discusses his diagnosis of tennis elbow and a subsequent low grade partial tear. He received a PRP shot and wants advice on supporting healing and preventing future injuries. The hosts suggest staying hydrated, engaging in soft tissue work, incorporating light band exercises, and practicing reverse curls or Zottman curls to strengthen the extensors. They also recommend focusing on wrist mobility, using wrist wraps for support, and leaning out to reduce stress on the affected areas. Red light therapy is mentioned as a potential adjunct for faster recovery.
