Anyone read Ray Peat here?
I'm working through his articles and in the one on hypothyroidism he states that 85bpm is apparently not just healthy but indicative of superior health to lower rates:
>The combination of pulse rate and temperature is much better than either one alone [for diagnosing hypothyroidism]. I happened to see two people whose resting pulse rates were chronically extremely high, despite their hypothyroid symptoms. When they took a thyroid supplement, their pulse rates came down to normal. (Healthy and intelligent groups of people have been found to have an average resting pulse rate of 85/minute, while less healthy groups average close to 70/minute.)

How is this reconciled with mainstream medicine which basically says the lower the better a la pic related. These sort of charts literally say the complete opposite, that 85 is poor.
