One of the pitfalls of AI automation is cognitive and creative entropy You were not designed to delegate everything. Its a pernicious form of lower nature behaviour If AI constantly evaluates arguments for you, then you get less practice evaluating them yourself. If it generates every initial idea, you gradually lose the habit of tolerating ambiguity and generating original associations. If you delegate every difficult problem, you lose opportunities to develop your own problem-solving capacity and non-linear approaches. DONT let it take this from you.

The most annoying thing about people using AI to scrape viral tweets is that the for you page ends up getting raped by the same tweet over and over again Then people get fatigued and log off. Should be some kind of penalty for the original creators program that you get flagged for doing it, south asian behaviour.
Using X from 2 years, Just got to know that you can take a screenshot of a tweet directly from the copy link option 🤯🤯🤯

Health interventions that are actually worth It: - blue light blockers - gym membership - walking treadmill - food scale - some peptides - whole foods on back order - whoop - black out curtains - ear plugs - nasal dialtor strips + 3m tape - sleep mask - blood pressure monitor - water filter - tea brewer - body work To name but a few.

Automating your nutrition check list - repeatable that you dont get bored of it - high in protein - less than 5 minutes to prepare - ingredients that are easy to replace (back-order) - nutrient dense - lower end on fat This is how you win.

Performance and protocols ep 2 w/@breath_Guy - In this episode, we explore the science, and transformative potential of breathwork, from chronic illness and altered states of consciousness to the future of decentralised science. - From chronic fatigue to recovery: How guy used breathwork as a central part of his journey out of chronic fatigue syndrome. - The breathwork toolkit: Guys favourite breathing techniques, how they work and when to use them. - The journey into research: What sparked his interest in the science of breathwork and led him down the research rabbit hole. - Lessons from the East: His travels through the East, the traditions he encountered and how they introduced him to breathwork - From meditation to breathwork: Why he transitioned from traditional meditation practices towards breath-led approaches to changing states of consciousness. - Exploring altered states of consciousness: His research into non-ordinary states of consciousness, - Air Hunger: His involvement in the film Air Hunger and the ideas, experiences and stories explored through the documentary - The future of breathwork: Where the field is heading, what remains unexplored and how decentralised science could accelerate research, collaboration and discovery.

This is why hydrating on awakening is the best thing you can do if the goal is cognitive acuity in the AM.
Losing 2% of body mass in water is associated with a 28% reduction in cognitive performance. Stay hydrated.

Study the feedback loops of heart health. Kidneys > blood pressure Immune system > cholesterol + plaque Liver > cholesterol Thyroid > liver > cholesterol Then piece them together.
Most people think heart disease is just about cholesterol But centenarians, people who live past 100, show us a different story It’s about the immune system 🧵👇

Crazy to see that some european companies have started to use SNAC (salcaprozate sodium) in their oral formulations for peptides Two of them being epithalon and ghk-cu Will be interesting to see how that plays out and if it makes a big difference For reference Its the same delivery agent used to improve absorption of oral semaglutide variations (rybelsus) Especially considering how smaller peptides are uptaken by PEPT1 transporters

There is NO best cardio zone. Some of you don't train hard enough, so you never generate a sufficient stimulus to drive adaptation. Others train too much and don't recover adequately, meaning you never fully realise the adaptations you're working so hard to achieve. Then there's another group that spends far too much time in the higher zones, not enough time in the lower zones, and rarely takes their foot off the gas The problem isn't the training zone. It's how you're applying it. Studies can tell you what works under controlled conditions. They can't account for every individual behavioural variable that determines whether someone ACTUALLY adapts. Because studies don't account for human behaviour. Coaches do. Direct experience is everything.

Caffeine half life will vary based on CYP1A2 metabolism. Will need to incorporate that into the model if you haven't already! Cool UI.

What about ACEs compared to the ARBs?

If you were to average It out Id say ARBS probably put between 3-5 years on life span on average They also reduce stroke risk by 21% Which is pretty insane when you think about the risk reduction for diseases like dementia etc One of the best discoverys of the past century Also show the importance of BP control for future health outcomes
High dose ARBs probably blow away every longevity drug in existence. Just insane vascular aging reversal effects in the literature at high dose. In that covid is primarily a vascular damaging virus partly through the RAS system, surprised this isn’t discussed more.

Immune health is the most under-utilized lever against arterial plaque management. The future approach will be lipid control and immune system enhancements. Double barrel shotgun.

Merck really cooked with this one. Bullish for the future of efficacious oral drugs. They just keep getting better.
Excited to be on Lipfendra, the first oral PCSK9 inhibitor to prevent arterial plaque buildup Dramatic reductions seen in LDL, ApoB and Lp(a) So, what's it cost? How does it work? Is it worth it?

This is the most swollen and unhealthy I've ever seen mcgregor look, needs to start metabolic health maxxing
Conor McGregor just went OFF on Max Holloway and is demanding a trilogy fight with him for his final UFC appearance 😳 "The guy didnt engage once. He's the one that called for the stoppage... I'd have done him on the one leg. Holloway might be a jackass, something might happen. But a fighter that fights me, put some respect on my name. If you're not a world champion fighter, don't even utter my f*cking name. If you've done f*ck all but got a few likes, go f*ck yourself."

Great list another I would add would be learning how to "switch off" at will Which I know sounds rather ambiguous. But being able to cue your body into a parasympathetic state by orienteting is one of the most under-utilized meta skills for recovery. Watching a favourite show with a pair of blue blockers, hot shower, fiction book. Basically a state of pure presence where your body can relax itself. (rest/digest) Not spoken about enough because it falls under the lens of nervous system health.
What actually moves the needle for recovery: Sleep before midnight Walk 8–10k steps Hit protein every day Don’t train to failure on every set One full rest day Mobilize if you’re stiff And if you want an expensive intervention, get yourself a home sauna

Exactly, I have friends who have taken cocaine for the past five to ten years and they aren't dead yet which means cocaine is harmless.
If nicotine were the killer, Sweden should be in trouble. It has the EU's 2nd-highest daily use of tobacco and nicotine products (23.9%), but only 4.8% smoke daily. The rest is mostly pouches. Swedish men die of lung cancer at under half the EU rate: 31.6 vs. 68.8 per 100,000.

- High in potassium (great for blood pressure) - High in resistant starch if cooked and cooled (great for gut health) - Lower allergenic profile (great for elimination diets) - High satiety value (great for weight loss/cuts) Not a health food? This is definitely bait.
A POTATO IS NOT A HEALTH FOOD WebMD says potatoes, popcorn, peanut butter and dark chocolate are "treats" that aren't unhealthy. A 100-gram baked russet potato, skin and all, has 21.4 grams of carbs and only 2.3 grams of fiber. That's starch your body turns directly into blood sugar, which spikes your insulin. It also has just 2.6 grams of protein. If you've got insulin resistance, pre-diabetes or a big belly, the potato is not your friend. Eat meat and eggs and skip the treats. Source below...

Great list. Seconded.

Get a basic look at electrolytes, kidneys and liver: CMP Get basic look at the blood cells: CBC with differential Get a look at your lipids. The basics are very helpful. If you want to level up the heart screening then you want hsCRP, homocysteine, and ApoB:ApoA1 ratio (LpA if you’ve not had one yet). Check your thyroid. TSH and free T4 and T3. You can look at antibodies and reverse. But you’re just kind of screening here. Check total/free testosterone. Get an SHBG. Estradiol. FSH and LH. Get a good look at your sex hormones. PSA is cheap. Nice to see it’s normal. But what if it’s not? For a few bucks per year you can check for badness. Get a fasting insulin. Yup. That’s the good stuff. You’ll see if all the check engine lights are in the green or not.
