Mindsip insights from this episode:

Incorporate bitters to lower blood glucose and enhance satiety

Simply tasting something bitter, like ordering bitters with soda water, can help lower your blood glucose response to a meal and increase GLP-1 production to feel more satiated.

Leverage belief to influence food metabolism

The placebo effect is so powerful that your belief about a food's calorie content can actually alter your body's physiological blood glucose and lipid response to it.

Mitigate damage from unhealthy foods with spirulina and antioxidants

You can help protect your cells from things like seed oils by consuming spirulina or glycine, or from charred meat by pairing it with antioxidant-rich herbs like rosemary.

Understand seed oil harm through preparation methods

The problem with seed oils is less about the oil itself and more about its preparation, as repeated heating and exposure to light and oxygen cause damaging oxidation.

Implement carb backloading for stable energy and better sleep

A diet low in carbohydrates during the day with a large carb refeed at dinner can lead to stable energy levels, better sleep, and replenished muscle glycogen for the next morning's workout.

Optimize vitamin D, zinc, boron, creatine, omega-3s, and magnesium before testosterone therapy

Before considering testosterone replacement therapy, ensure you have adequate levels of vitamin D, zinc, boron, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, and magnesium.

Time cold exposure before workouts for enhanced performance

Getting cold before a workout can provide an incredible adrenaline and endocrine response for better performance, while getting cold immediately after may blunt the training adaptation.

Mimic ancestral living through biohacking technologies

Many biohacking technologies are simply mimicking and concentrating what we would have gotten from nature, like earthing mats simulating the ground's electrical frequencies or red light panels simulating sunlight.

Implement comprehensive testing for athlete career longevity

For career longevity, an athlete's ideal testing includes comprehensive blood work, a metabolomics test for micronutrients, a stool test, a DUTCH test for hormones, genetics, and toxin/allergy panels.

Balance performance and longevity to avoid health risks

Being super fit as an athlete is often paradoxical to living a long time due to the inflammation, body damage, and endocrine issues that come with intense training.
