Your 8pm workout is shrinking your brain. It's also building belly fat and more than doubling your odds of dying in the next decade. Andrew Huberman is naming the mechanism.
Cortisol is supposed to peak when you wake up and crash by 11pm. Hard training after 7pm spikes it back up at the worst possible window. Four nights a week of evening workouts and the daily curve flattens. The morning peak softens. The evening trough inflates. The shape inverts.
A 2017 meta-analysis of 80 studies and 23,000 participants found that flatter cortisol curves predict higher mortality, more inflammation, worse cognition, and greater visceral fat. The hazard ratio for early death was 2.40. Total daily cortisol output didn't predict any of it. Curve shape carried the variance.
Whitehall II followed 4,000 British civil servants for six years and got the same answer. Flatter slope, hazard ratio 1.30 for all-cause death, 1.87 for cardiovascular death. Independent of every covariate they measured.
Robert Sapolsky's primate work shows what happens next. Subordinate baboons getting harassed daily show lower morning peaks and higher evening troughs than dominant baboons. The flattening comes first. Hippocampal atrophy follows. Cushing's patients show the same loss. PTSD veterans show the same. Three different pathways into chronic glucocorticoid exposure, one consistent brain effect, partially reversible when the curve gets restored.
There's another loop running underneath. Visceral belly fat manufactures cortisol locally. The enzyme is 11β-HSD1. It converts inactive cortisone to active cortisol inside the fat cell. Mice with adipose-specific overexpression of this enzyme develop visceral obesity, insulin resistance, and metabolic syndrome on completely normal blood cortisol. The systemic level looks fine. The local tissue is bathed in glucocorticoid signaling.
That's why "meditate to lower cortisol" doesn't shrink the belly. The belly is making its own.
What rebuilds the curve is cheap. Train hard before late afternoon. Keep the four hours before bed for walks and stretching. Get morning sunlight in the first hour after waking. Anchor sleep timing within a 30-minute window. Each one steepens the morning peak and deepens the evening trough. Total daily cortisol barely moves. The curve gets sharper.
Make the morning loud. Make the night quiet.

@MustStopMurad Your level of retarded should not be allowed to leave the house.

@SBF_FTX The fact people glorify this fucking drivel is mental illness. Yes, trading without a stoploss means risk of ruin is high. You hit ruin with other people's money no less. You are fucking scum.

@SBF_FTX Do everyone a favor and shut the fuck up for you rest of your life you worthless fucking scum. Rot in prison where you belong.

@Tradermayne You're aware taking winning trades is your job, right? Man's out here like I did my job correctly, praise me.

@TheFlowHorse You're one of the few good ones boss, thanks for all you do -

Crazy how much love this received. Insane really.
The funny part? The extremely small group who had something negative to say were exactly who you'd expect.
And for such a supposedly smart group of people, there's a glaring pattern in their responses: an almost stunning inability to actually read what was written.
The article explicitly states that most traders fail, that success requires being in the top percentage, and that the path being hard is a given. It's right there in plain text.
Yet somehow the takeaway from a small crowd is "this guy is telling everyone they can beat the market" and "lottery odds case study."
One guy literally responded with "This guy tries using that argument in favor for everyone to try to beat the market" when the piece says the exact opposite. Multiple times. It's like watching someone argue with a strawman they built themselves.
The other pattern: immediate jump to "course seller" accusations. Nobody's selling anything in this article. I made a free course on YouTube years ago to cover tools. I started a paid community this year after having kids and getting tired of just trading. I'm really proud of it. There are very few like it.
If you don't know better, I'm beyond convincing you now. I've been a doxxed person, sharing my life here for years. If you think a course this past year created any of this, you must be blind and pretty bad at math.
The post is about not letting people who've never done it convince you it can't be done. But critical thinking apparently stops when someone challenges the narrative that retail is dead.
For people who pride themselves on quantitative reasoning, the reading comprehension is surprisingly weak.

You don’t hate these people enough.

Pam Bondi goes on a completely unhinged rant about the stock market when asked why she has not indicted any clients of Jeffrey Epstein. Bondi says all Americans need to focus on other topics, like the economy, and not on Jeffrey Epstein’s child trafficking network. “That’s what we should be talking about.”

No mention of the fact that they explicitly advised us that Alameda didn't need US money transmitting licenses for the non-US work as well. Only ask cause I'm literally in prison for that. reuters.com/legal/governme…

The @NFL should apologize to the American people for flooding the Super Bowl with foreign flags. Totally disgraceful.
There’s nothing American about any of this.

@LauraLoomer The only ironic thing is that your dumb ass didn’t take the time to understand that that’s literally what this song is about. Do us all a favor and shut the fuck up unless you have something intelligent and accurate to say.
English

@TheModerateCase You seem like a cunt, but let me clarify - I’m an American who doesn’t speak Spanish and have listening to Bad Bunny for 6 years because I have taste and don’t need to understand the lyrical content of songs to deeply enjoy them. Also, go fuck yourself - that clear enough?

@JenLawrence21 Sounds like you need to go back to elementary school to learn what America is dipshit.

@jakepaul You acted like a fucking cunt and got shut the fuck down is what happened bitch.

@jakepaul You literally live in Puerto Rico to avoid paying taxes to America. Fuck your self with a chainsaw.

Purposefully turning off the halftime show
Let’s rally together and show big corporations they can’t just do whatever they want without consequences
(which equals viewership for them)
You are their benefit. Realize you have power.
Turn off this halftime. A fake American citizen performing who publicly hates America. I cannot support that.

@johnrich You won’t be missed, it would go over your ignorant head anyway.

@jakepaul If you think he’s a fake American, you’re even dumber than you look, and you look like a fucking retard.
