Mindsip insights from this episode:
Utilize Tijuana blood filtration protocol to eliminate pathogens
A new protocol in Tijuana uses a Seraph filter to remove pathogens like the spike protein from your entire blood supply over a six-hour session.
Utilize melatonin sledgehammer protocol to combat jet lag
To combat jet lag, the host uses a 'melatonin sledgehammer' protocol, taking a high dose of 150-300mg for the first three nights after traveling.
Take melatonin three hours before bedtime for optimal sleep
Research shows the ideal time to take melatonin to promote sleep is three hours before your desired bedtime, not right before you go to sleep.
Reevaluate ethics of plant-based diets in monocrop agriculture
The host argues that the 'bloodbath' of small animals killed during monocrop agriculture challenges the idea that a plant-based diet is ethically superior.
Enhance plant protein with leucine for muscle synthesis
Adding 1-2 grams of the amino acid leucine to a plant-based protein powder can make its muscle protein synthesis effect similar to that of whey protein.
Implement growth hormone sauna stack for optimal results
A 'growth hormone stack' involves a 20-minute sauna session, a 2-minute cold plunge, followed by another 20-minute sauna session to dramatically increase growth hormone.
Build muscle and bone density with regular sauna sessions
Regular high-temperature sauna sessions (over 200°F) have been shown to increase not only muscle mass but also bone mineral density in healthy young men.
Preserve muscle with one intense session every two weeks
You can preserve 90-95% of muscle mass and strength for up to three months by performing just one intense training session every two weeks.
Boost creativity by practicing peripatetic learning
The practice of peripatetic learning, or learning while walking, can boost creative output by an average of 60% according to a Stanford study.
