Most people might miss the biggest benefit of sauna You need to get really really hot… Your core body temperature needs to hit 102.4°F (39°C). For reference, a fever is anything above 100.4°F (38°C) So I swallowed a temperature monitoring pill. It goes through your digestive tract and precisely measures your internal temperature every 30 seconds. When your core body temperature hits the goal of 102°F, your body releases these proteins (heat shock proteins - HSPs) that clean up your body’s debris. I was curious what time my body hits this goal because up until now, I’ve been doing 20 mins of 200°F dry sauna. … it turns out it takes 31 minutes It feels like you’re dying. I didn't expert such pain and panic. Before this experiment, I did over 200 sauna sessions at 200°F for 20 min. This means I likely never achieved the heat shock protein (HSP) threshold at 102.4°F (39°C), which deprived me of so much sauna-health goodness. If your sauna doesn’t heat up to temperatures allowing your core temperature to reach 102.4°F (39°C) or you struggle to tolerate heat, do not be discouraged. The dry sessions I did at 200°F (93°C) for 20 min still showed incredibly health benefits. My previous 20 min sessions still showed: 1) 10+ yr reduction of my vascular age 2) 87% reduction of microplastics 3) detox of environmental toxins 4) fertility marker improvement Will report back once I have results on this new protocol…

I will not have tested this for a few hours while work continues autonomously, so apologies if there are any weird regressions

this is a [deep breath] M5 Stick S3 acting as a frontend for Gemini Flash 3.1 Live, running via a CloudFlare worker, with tools to set device settings (brightness, volume, power), web fetch / search, and vector search (of tldraw docs) via cf's Vectorize. crazy low latency, push to talk on this hardware is great too

@thegarybrecka psychedelics helped me reframe this. even as a collegiate athlete discipline felt like punishment. on a macro-dose one day it hit me that my view was holding me back. discipline = thriving now.

Discipline has been framed by a lot of people as punishment, restriction, or some kind of harsh self-control. I see it differently. Discipline is alignment. It is the willingness to do what supports your body even when convenience tells you not to. That’s self-respect in action.

i grew up in mississippi in the 90s parents ignorant to the internet became consumers their children addicted instead of equipped from my perspective college was a step up from the library college was easy once you figured out google a tool my generation could have wielded much sooner my kids will learn more in a 49m youtube video than i did in 4 years of engineering the human brain evolves before our eyes

The company behind this pill has raised $250 million and is running the largest clinical trial in veterinary history, and the science explains why investors are losing their minds. The drug is LOY-002, made by a company called Loyal. It works as a caloric restriction mimetic. It tricks the dog's metabolism into behaving like it's on a restricted diet without actually reducing food intake. The biological cascade this triggers is the same one that's extended lifespan in every species ever tested, from yeast to primates. The FDA has already accepted the safety data and the effectiveness data. Two of three regulatory gates cleared. The third is manufacturing review, expected to complete this year. If approved, LOY-002 becomes the first FDA-approved drug for lifespan extension in any species. Not disease treatment. Not symptom management. Lifespan extension as a formal indication. The STAY study has 1,300 dogs enrolled across 70 vet clinics. Half get the pill, half get placebo. Both beef-flavored so nobody can tell the difference. It is the largest clinical trial ever conducted in veterinary medicine. Here's where it gets interesting for humans. Dogs develop the same age-related diseases we do: cancer, heart disease, kidney failure, cognitive decline resembling dementia. They live in our houses, eat similar food, breathe the same air. A mouse in a sterile lab tells you almost nothing about human aging. A golden retriever sleeping on your couch tells you a lot. Loyal has a second drug, LOY-001, targeting large breeds specifically. Big dogs die younger because centuries of breeding for size accidentally gave them elevated IGF-1 levels, which is the same growth hormone pathway linked to accelerated aging in humans. Reducing IGF-1 in flies, worms, and rodents extends lifespan. Loyal is now testing whether the same holds in dogs. 90 million pet dogs in 60 million US households. Average spending: $1,852 per pet per year. A pill that gives you two more years with your dog is the easiest sell in pharmaceutical history. Human longevity trials would cost $1 billion+ and take decades. Dog trials cost a fraction and produce data in years. Every dog in the STAY study is generating aging data that maps to human biology. The shortest path to an FDA-approved human longevity drug might run through your veterinarian's office.

Psychedelics can reopen windows in your brain that were supposed to close forever. But that's not entirely good news. In 2023, Johns Hopkins researchers made a landmark discovery... Psychedelics reopen "critical learning periods," rare developmental windows when your brain is primed to form bonds, learn trust, and rewire deep patterns. Most neuroscientists thought these windows closed permanently by your mid-20s. Psychedelics unlock them again. They loosen the structural scaffolding that keeps your neural wiring locked in place. Think of it as a biological permission slip for transformation. But here's the part very few people talk about: When that window is open, your brain is more susceptible to ALL patterns, including damaging ones. If someone does a high-dose journey and then goes right back to the same stress, the same environment, the same loops… old patterns don't just return. They can come back stronger. This is what I call the "integration gap." The experience feels like a breakthrough. You leave feeling expansive and grateful. Two weeks later? Anxious, fragmented, unable to make sense of what happened. The medicine opens a window. But someone has to be responsible for what happens while it's open. Right now, most of that aftercare comes down to a check-in call and hope. That's not enough. This is exactly why Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, and I partnered up through my coaching institute to build a training on Psychedelic Safety and Harm Reduction. Dave has spent years in the trenches supporting people through transformative psychedelic work, and we're offering a 3-month mentorship for practitioners who want to master this. What's the wildest integration experience you've had or witnessed? Drop it below.

Why is nobody talking about the Post-Psychedelic Integration as the real work? The medicine opens the door, but you still have to walk through it every single day. The Glow is temporary the Flow is earned through integration and habit.

can ai agents invent writing on their own? recent pet project: 2 agents share a world but each sees only half. their only communication: 7×7 pixel glyphs. they develop symbols, build theories of meaning, and evaluate their own writing. no convergence yet but fascinating to watch!

I have bad news about the year without screens experiment — Year Unplugged It blew up way faster than expected: + 0 to 156k on Instagram in about 3 weeks + 2k to 17k on X in about 2 weeks I guess we all want to know how the screens and devices may be affecting us, even if it's just one person Anyway, there has been a lot of attention, a lot of ideas about what I should measure, and even some unexpected help (thank you all) Originally, I was just going to measure blood markers (@superpower), sleep data (@ouraring), neuroimaging, cognitive tests, and a few other things But given all the new ideas and that this will be an entire year of my life, I'm adding some more things: + Gut health, with help from @superpower (tiny) and @ThroneScience (cool product for daily tracking) + Full-body MRI + skeletal assessment + body composition, with help from @function + Some questionnaires like MAIA-2: Interoception, to see if body awareness changes a lot + DUTCH test for more in-depth view of hormones (cc @AbudBakri) + Potentially sperm health (shoutout @sciencekelso) Anyway, here's the bad news: Instead of starting the screenless phase on April 5th, I need to extend the baseline phase a bit to gather the rest of this data and make sure everything is set up right I'll let you know as soon as the date is firm, and of course all the baseline data will continue getting uploaded to the live dashboard LAST CALL: If there's anything you'd like to see someone measure before / during / after going a year without screens, speak now or forever hold your peace Otherwise, thank you for being here. I'm excited to see what we may discover.

A Harvard study found that 4 hours of screen time before bed suppresses melatonin by 55% and delays your circadian clock by 1.5 hours (Chang et al.) Just published my baseline melatonin and cortisol curves from a 4-point saliva test, before I spend a year without screens These could change substantially within just a week or two without screens A year from now we'll know what happens when you reverse that completely
