Listen Later

Modern Wisdom


Key Takeaways
  • Tips for improved cognition: Sleep, exercise, maintain good metabolic health & low risk of cardiovascular disease, give yourself blocks of time for focused work
  • Exercise for cognitive health: Train cardio in a ratio of 80:20, Zone 2:VO2 max
  • Warning: Doses of over the counter melatonin are supraphysiologic; reserve melatonin for jet lag but not as a daily sleep aid to avoid suppressing innate melatonin production
  • “If you have every single thing imaginable but you have no connection with other people, what do you have?” – Peter Attia
  • Poor emotional health is a threat to longevity
    • Your emotions matter but don’t just take them at face value; use them as cue to dive deeper below the surface and consider the origin
    • Considerations for emotional health: (1) Sense of purpose; (2) Satisfaction and joy; (3) achievement; (4) Quality of relationships; (5) Self-regulation; (6) Distress tolerance
  • The next time you are tempted to chastise yourself or use negative self-talk, try this instead:
    • Take out your phone and voice record a description of what you would say to a friend if they just committed the same act you were just about to punish in yourself
    • For example, instead of yelling at yourself for burning dinner, pull out your phone and record yourself talking to a friend who is upset they just burned dinner – you will find yourself much kinder to them than yourself
    • With practice, you will still remember the incident happened, but you will be able to move on easier without it ruining the day
  • TRT is safe in men who actually need it; the risk is in the supraphysiologic levels being administered to people who don’t need it and without proper guidance or supervision
  • Focus on healthspan and you’ll get the byproduct of improved lifespan
  • Stop giving into the noise! People spend way too much energy getting worked up about silly things instead of focusing on the big picture
    • The cereal is processed and made of junkier ingredients in the US than other places – but should you be eating the cereal in the first place?
