I can personally attest to the fact that muscle strengthening is a key treatment for gluteal tendinopathy. Strengthening the glutes and hips takes the strain off the tendons. My understanding is, and please correct me if I'm wrong, that the tendons are torn (to greater or lesser degree) and can't heal, so they need the muscles to be strong. I have found total relief from doing glute bridges and hip abduction exercises, unless I overdo it, in which case I can have a painful night! So I back off and stick to my regular routine. (I am a 69 year old female).
Thank you for addressing the limits of full body MRI scans. I read in a few places that people can have cancer cells in their body that never become troublesome. These can be found on a scan, but for whatever reason, never cause problems. The role of lifestyle and epigenetics really aren’t studied as much as they should be, and I think these have as much of an effect on getting cancer as smoking, being overweight, etc.
Great info. As someone with very high LDL the info on eggs and cholesterol was helpful.
