Most people will spend 26 years of their life asleep and never feel rested I spent 3 years studying human biology to find out why Sleep. Energy. Recovery. Focus. Health. All of it is fixable The problem is never discipline - It is always biology Human Biology BSc | Free guide in bio 🧬

“Just think you’re well rested” sounds good until biology shows up Placebo can shift perception, not physiology Sleep restriction still: • impairs reaction time • worsens glucose control • elevates cortisol That study changed belief about sleep, not sleep itself Mindset can mask fatigue but it can’t fix it

English

Brandon Luu, MD@BrandonLuuMD·19m

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology. Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested. Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel. Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.

Deep sleep and REM sleep do completely different jobs Deep sleep: physical repair, immune function, memory consolidation REM: emotional processing, creativity, pattern recognition You need both but most high performers are deficient in deep sleep

@OptiMindInsight Also missing from the B vit: - brain fog or simply aging + neurotoxicity - brain atrophy, a precursor to dementia - muscle weakness - Memory loss, confusion - heart palpitations, tachycardia, and increased risk of heart failure Get that bloodwork done, invest in your health!

English

Nicolas Lassen@OptiMindInsight·1h

Low B vitamins are quietly accelerating cognitive decline. Not dramatically. Not overnight. Slowly, over years, while most people assume their brain fog is just stress. Here's how to actually know where you stand: Get your blood drawn. Always try to have as exact data as possible. If you dont have access to that, use an online questionnaire that estimates your historical intake. Either way, err on the cautious side when supplementing. Don't wait for symptoms to tell you what your bloodwork could have shown years earlier. optimindinsights.com/p/your-intake-…

What if the food that keeps your friend lean is the exact food spiking your glucose and driving your fat storage?

@thegarybrecka Careful with the 'lie in' phrasing... Sleeping in by 90 minutes on weekends shifts your circadian phase enough to produce measurable social jetlag by Monday morning Keeping a consistent wake time is the best thing you can do for your daytime energy

English

Gary Brecka@thegarybrecka·1h

Sunday is not a day off from your biology... Your circadian rhythm doesn't pause for the weekend. Your cells are still repairing, still responding to light and food and movement. The people who achieve extraordinary health don't take two days off from their fundamentals every week. They find a sustainable version of their routine that works on weekends too. Sleep in by 30 minutes if you need to. But get the morning light. Drink the water. Eat the protein. Move the body.

Technically correct BUT practically incomplete... Ultra processed carbohydrates are specifically engineered to override satiety signalling ('full signals') that whole food carbs simply dont trigger You might be telling someone their habits are the problem when their habits are being manipulated by a trillion dollar industry...

Mackenzie Smith@smithhmackenzie·1h

You don’t need to cut carbs to lose fat. You need to stop overeating. Carbs aren’t the problem, your habits are.

GLP-1 drugs are a tool, not a fix The people who keep the results are the ones who used the appetite suppression window to build actual habits Lift weights, hit protein, fix sleep, manage cortisol Your body already has the system Most people just never activated it

English

PerformanceProtocol@PerformanceProt·1h

Your body makes GLP-1 naturally and you can amplify it without a prescription Protein at every meal (especially whey and eggs) triggers GLP-1 release So does dietary fibre, particularly from oats, legumes and leafy greens So does resistance training The drug mimics a HEALTHY lifestyle

Ozempic isn't a weight loss drug It's a behaviour modification drug that happens to cause weight loss And once you understand how it actually works, the whole conversation changes 🧵

The most important line in this entire thread is that the only approved drug only works after significant scarring has already occurred 2 billion people with a condition that medicine waits to treat until stage 3 or 4 The entire NAFLD story is a failure of early intervention and this hydrogen water data sits exactly in the prevention window medicine keeps ignoring

Hydrogen water dissolved liver fat after just 28 days. It also significantly decreased BMI & showed zero side effects. 2 billion people have fatty liver disease and the one approved drug only works after significant scarring has already occurred. Here's the data (thread):

The most important variable in intermittent fasting that nobody mentions is not the window length Its consistency An irregular eating window that shifts by 2 to 3 hours daily produces circadian misalignment that undermines most of the metabolic benefits you were fasting to achieve in the first place Same window every day beats a perfect window

English

Dr. Kasenene@drkasenene·4h

Have you tried daily intermittent fasting? This doesn't mean you'll starve yourself. It only means you eat within a shorter eating window and have a longer continuous period without eating. It's best to fast 12 to 16 hours daily. Could be 8pm-8am but better like 6pm-10am.

High testosterone is actually straightforward if you focus on the variables with real effect sizes Sleep quality, resistance training, body fat percentage under 20%, adequate zinc and vitamin D status These move the needle by measurable amounts in peer reviewed trials The shower gel does not lol

English

LUIS@luisomor·2h

Having high testosterone is actually pretty easy if you avoid these things: - Seed oils - Processed sugar - P*rn - Laziness - Fluorescent lights - Chemical detergents - Normal shower gel x.com/luisomor/statu…

LUIS@luisomor

Having high testosterone is actually pretty easy if you do the basics: - Morning sunlight upon waking up - 4 raw eggs and fruit for breakfast - Never spend more than 1h sitting in your chair - Avoid wearing polyester - Workout 4-5 times a week - Move every single day, walk as much as possible - Eat organic whole foods only - Avoid synthetic things - Be outside as much as possible - Be happy and enjoy life

The blood brain barrier crossing problem is real and its why creatine monohydrate at higher doses is being studied rather than just assumed to work Brain creatine synthesis is partially endogenous via AGAT and GAMT enzymes Oral supplementation raises brain levels but the uptake is slow, dose dependent and significantly less efficient than muscle tissue

English

Nicolas Lassen@OptiMindInsight·1d

5 grams of creatine is the muscle dose. Not the brain dose. To get creatine across the blood-brain barrier, research points to significantly higher amounts. But there's a second problem nobody mentions. The transporter fatigues over time, meaning it becomes less effective the longer you supplement without a break. So cycle it: 6–10 weeks on. 1–2 weeks off. Once saturated, brain levels stay elevated during that window. You lose nothing and your transporter resets. Are you dosing for your muscles or your brain?

‘Vaping is good for you’ Peer reviewed research is beginning to verify the link between vaping and long term health conditions What are governments doing to limit use?

World of Statistics@stats_feed

Strongest evidence yet: Vaping likely causes lung and oral cancer. A major new review of 100+ studies (2025) finds nicotine vapes show almost all key traits of carcinogens, DNA mutations in mouth/lungs, cancer biomarkers, and lung tumors in mice. While long-term human data is still emerging, researchers say the “lower risk than smoking” claim no longer holds.
