Dunno if you guys follow P.D. Mangan, but he used to write a dissident blog before transitioning to offering health advice full time with a special focus on analyzing nutritional studies. He's a biologist by background, in his 60s, and looks fantastic:

Anyway his twitter his here (I use Nitter to view tweets without being logged in): https://nitter.cz/Mangan150
Two interesting takeaways from his work that I think about regularly:
(1) His theory that women live 4-5 years longer than men because of their menstruation which dumps iron from the blood. Men don't dump iron so it accumulates for them and eventually causes big negative health effects. His solution? Donate blood regularly, which is the only way to remove iron for men. Interesting that bloodletting, which was used for millennia, may have health benefits after all... (he wrote a book on this called "Dumping Iron"). I have been donating blood for a couple of years now because of this.
(2) The most important blood lipid marker is your triglyceride/HDL ratio. A ratio over 3.5 makes a person 16x more likely to suffer from heart disease. There is not a single other blood marker that has anywhere near the correlation that this ratio has. You can see here for the underlying studies on it: https://roguehealthandfitness.com/longevity-anti-aging/the-most-important-lipid-panel-marker/ And LDL and total cholesterol does not seem to matter much at all...
