Mindsip insights from this episode:

Leverage ketamine to enhance neuroplasticity by inhibiting GSK3

Ketamine enhances neuroplasticity by inhibiting GSK3, a compound that itself inhibits neuron growth, effectively acting as an inhibitor of an inhibitor.

Protect endothelial glycocalyx with Arterioil HP

The product Arterioil HP is used to protect the endothelial glycocalyx, the ultra-thin lining of your 60,000 miles of blood vessels.

Beware side effects of topical finasteride for hair loss

Even topical finasteride derivatives for hair loss can carry a significant risk of side effects like erectile dysfunction, which may take months to resolve after stopping use.

Enhance mitochondrial function with advanced red light therapy

The next generation of red light therapy uses embedded frequencies, or specific patterns of invisible flashes, to enhance mitochondrial function beyond what constant light can do.

Debunk protein absorption myth with digestive enzymes

Contrary to popular belief, you can absorb over 100 grams of protein in a single meal without issue by supplementing with digestive enzymes.

Revolutionize drug discovery with AI cell simulation

Google's AI division, DeepMind, is now working to simulate an entire human cell in detail, which could revolutionize drug discovery and personalized medicine.

Embrace optimism to enhance longevity

A National Academy of Sciences study found that optimists lived, on average, 15% longer than pessimists.
