Discusses age-related cognitive decline and shares personal experience with worsening cognition at 54, including a history of multiple concussions from a wrestling career and lack of past concussion protocols. He emphasizes that physique matters less than mental clarity and states the content is not medical advice, only his experience and research. He frames cognitive decline as a “starving brain,” describing healthy brains as “plump” versus cognitively impaired brains as “sucked up,” and says the foundation of improving cognition is feeding the brain by improving insulin sensitivity and eating nutrients the brain can use. He highlights peptides he uses to boost insulin sensitivity and support cognition: RTA (for insulin sensitivity, stable blood sugar, fat-burning, reduced cravings for unhealthy food, and broader health markers like blood pressure, cholesterol, and liver support), and mitochondrial peptides SS-31 and MOTS-c (SS-31 as a “mechanic” that tunes mitochondria and MOTS-c as a “supercharger”). He explains he cycles SS-31 and MOTS-c sequentially rather than together to avoid overstimulation and fatigue, and he uses perceived sharpness and stable energy as feedback to adjust timing. He also describes Semax as “fertilizer for the brain,” supporting neuroplasticity and growth once the brain is adequately fed. Finally, he stresses the importance of sleep and stress management to allow the brain to regenerate and avoid being worn down.
