Mindsip insights from this episode:
Monitor nighttime erections as a cardiovascular health indicator
Nighttime erections are an important and measurable marker of cardiovascular and physiological health that decrease with age and poor sleep.
Sleep alone for consistently perfect rest
To achieve predictably perfect sleep, it is best to sleep alone to eliminate the variability in movement and schedules that a partner introduces.
Empower your body with data-driven health protocols
Instead of letting your mind rule, you should treat your body as a democracy of organs, using data to create a protocol that takes better care of you than your own mind can.
Prioritize sleep to enhance willpower and self-control
The amount of deep and REM sleep you get is directly proportional to your willpower, making sleep the most critical intervention for improving self-control and health.
Fire your evening self to end self-sabotage
To stop self-sabotaging behaviors, personify the version of yourself that makes bad choices (e.g., "Evening Brian"), list their arguments, and formally fire them from making decisions.
Gain 32 years of life by following five power laws of longevity
You can gain roughly 32 years of life by not smoking, exercising six hours a week, maintaining a BMI between 18.5-22.5, eating a Blueprint-like diet, and consuming little to no alcohol.
Adapt to AI's rapid changes; plan within three-month limits
For the first time in history, the rapid advancement of AI has created a 'wall of fog,' making it impossible for our intelligence to plan our lives more than three months into the future.
Utilize safer, reversible Follistatin gene therapy for health benefits
A new Follistatin gene therapy delivered via a plasmid is safer than previous versions because its effects can be turned off by taking an antibiotic like tetracycline.
