Mindsip insights from this episode:
Avoid nighttime eating between 10 PM and 4 AM to reduce mortality risk
The increased mortality risk from nighttime eating is specifically associated with consuming the majority of your calories between 10 PM and 4 AM, not just having a late dinner.
Utilize tools like NuCalm and Sensate for better napping
To enhance napping, you can use specific tools like the NuCalm app, Yoga Nidra tracks, or the chest-vibrating Sensate device to help shut the brain down.
Incorporate bodyweight squats to enhance blood sugar regulation during prolonged sitting
Performing 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes during a long period of sitting improves blood sugar regulation more effectively than taking a 30-minute walk.
Reverse cognitive decline from sleep loss with high-dose creatine
Taking a high dose of creatine, specifically 0.35 grams per kilogram of body weight pulsed throughout the day, can reverse cognitive decline from sleep deprivation.
Utilize complete heart health stack for optimal wellness
A company called Vitaboom has packaged the speaker's entire heart health protocol, including nattokinase, vitamins K1/K2/D3, niacin, and more, into a single box.
Leverage church attendance for improved health and stability
Citing large longitudinal studies, weekly attendance at a religious service is causally linked to lower mortality, less depression, and greater marital stability, beyond just being spiritual.
Utilize structured water for its memory benefits
Water molecules can form clusters that act as memory cells, recording the history of energies and substances they have been exposed to, which may explain the benefits of structured water.
Limit smart glasses use to mitigate EMF exposure risks
New smart glasses like the Ray-Ban Stories have a Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) of 1.11, which is concerningly close to the legal limit of 1.6 and may pose health risks with prolonged use.
Enjoy a single drink with dinner without disrupting sleep
A single drink with dinner is unlikely to disrupt sleep architecture, unlike the large amounts of hard liquor given immediately before bed in many negative studies.
