Thinking about business travel. Besides Timeshifter, are there any good scientifically-based jet lag apps out there?

@daisyldixon It’s super weird. It’s a fad that did a tour of duty back when I was a teenager in the noughties but somehow it’s returned and crept into normal conversation. How do we banish it?!

there seems to be this new fad both in and outside the manosphere where people score others’ looks, especially women’s, out of 10 and I think it’s fcking weird

After a rather too long a nap, we're back on twitter.

I find this rise quite worrying. People turning to exogenous hormones to offset lifestyle. I'm not blaming anyone for wanting better sleep, but there are better ways than taking Melatonin.

This is really fascinating.

@hubermanlab What does 'offset' mean? Does it mean 'replace' or 'Delay the need for' or something else?

Brief (8-10min) Non-Sleep-Deep-Rest (NSDR) protocols are distinct from meditation & similar but different from Yoga Nidra. Emerging data show they can restore mental & physical vigor, dopamine levels & offset missed hours of sleep. Links to two examples are below (zero cost):

The value of monarchy becomes clearer when you realise the UK would default to Celebrarchy

While technically we can’t replace lost sleep, a 10-90min nap or 10-30min NSDR (non-sleep deep rest) protocol can significantly restore key aspects of cognition & physical performance. Protocols, mechanisms & references on the latest Huberman Lab Podcast: hubermanlab.com/sleep-toolkit-…

To get excellent sleep, we assembled a zero cost kit of science based tools: hubermanlab.com/toolkit-for-sl…

To ensure a terrible nights sleep: 1) nap more than 90min in the afternoon 2) >100mg caffeine after 4pm 3) eat right before bed time (I confess I do this now and again, as I can’t fall asleep hungry) 4) Sleep in on weekends more than 1hr longer than usual duration

In linguistics, Escher sentences are sentences which initially seem acceptable but upon further reflection have no well-formed meaning.

This is beautiful…

I'm starting to think Dominic Raab got his law degree off the internet

A fact that everyone knows but most people seem surprised to hear: consciousness runs on a circadian rhythm

@SatchinPanda @salkinstitute Cannot wait to read it!

I am grateful to my research team and colleagues ⁦@salkinstitute⁩, my collaborators throughout the world, scientists and clinicians who have been rigorously testing the the power of an optimum circadian rhythm in fighting #diabetes. #circadiandiabetescode on sale now.

@siimland @EugeneMironets @davidasinclair Is there any specific work on when in the day would be best to time OMAD? I recall research that protein synthesis is higher in the mornings, so maybe time fasting, feeding and training around these natural peaks?

@EugeneMironets @davidasinclair Intermittent fasting (time restricted earing) already helps to acheive both. During fasted state you suppress mTOR and raise autophagy. During eating phase you flip it. Add resistance training and you will get the best of both worlds

You have two ages. One is the number of times Earth has circled the Sun and the other is your biological age. Guess which one you can change easily

@emilyinkpen That's an awesome pile of books! So many I still have to read. Shikasta is just marvellous - I've never read anything quite like it. Mysterious and powerful. Please post your thoughts as you get through these...

So the list below cost me a lot of money, but I have no regrets. It’s a great collection and I can’t wait to read them all!

Wellness fads, like hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for COVID, can propagate quickly, even among highly-trained professionals. Even after being proven false. Fascinating piece on evidence-based medicine during COVID from Nature: play.acast.com/s/nature/audio…

@langernutrition This is a wonderul article - thank you! So much of what I read about functional medicine has degraded into absolutism on both sides but your approach is really refreshing and thoughtful 👏🏽

Functional medicine just keeps on being shady. Some of its practitioners and practices are not evidence-based and may even be harmful, yet the industry continues to rake in the 💰 Here are my issues with some FM practitioners and their practices abbylangernutrition.com/here-are-my-is…

What’s your personal elevator pitch?
