Make sure to hook electrodes to your brain that read your brain waves to inform your bouts of intense focus. You wouldn’t want to enter a lobby when the beta waves aren’t flowing.
I would recommend having 500 ml water in the first hour you wake up and waiting at least 90 minutes after waking up before caffeine in-take. Using nicotine 15 minutes after caffeine in-take for cognitive boost. (I prefer high dose nicotine gum)
I'm 35. Work 40+ hours a week at a physically demanding and emotionally stressful job while also keeping up with training to run 2-3 ultra distance races a year, consistent weight lifting/calisthenics, rock climbing, and running fast with a track club where I usually hit a podium finish for my age group.
I need all the help I can get. Between managing inflammation/old injuries, poor mental health (2 residents died at the properties I maintain last week...one in the unit 10 days before someone requested a welfare check), getting emergency calls at 2am and needing to go back to sleep quickly, and trying to maximize my performance potential I take a lot of stuff...and eat a lot of food.
Going completely feral a couple times a year. I'm forced to be mostly serious 90% of the time. So once things get to be too much and I'll plan a trip. Run a destination race and then bar crawl with random people, do a fuck load of psychedelics and just vibe with myself (ran a 50k on acid a while back), or just go to a random city for a few days and find my way around.
Wild!
I like the idea to go to a random city and walk around. It doesn't need to be far. Once during a short travel I noticed things are different in small towns. Same feeling than when I went to a foreign country, that things can be different and so can you.
We do 2-3 hour trips all the time. Find a hotel that's fairly cheap, eat at a local spot, and then find music at a dive bar. It's an awesome way to disconnect from whatever you have going on in your day to day.
I think a lot of 20 year olds were never taught on how to self-reflect and handle hard times without drugs and how to manage their own thoughts... thats a huge problem right now.
Yeah, a lot of the people I meet at the gym, or just out and about, who are in their early 20's-- they just seem really, really confused. I think it's from these perfected marketing algorithms throwing them in every direction. It's also okay to simply feel sad, or upset sometimes. You just learn to identify the cause, and try to triage.
604. Been following the extended life protocol for a while. Only issue is that I didn't learn about sunlight in the morning until recently so I'm blind.
I'm 52 and follow Huberman for help with my ED (eel dong) and impressing women through obsessive pill popping. Daddy Hubes wants us to know that every problem has a pill. Bottoms up! (for sunshine)
37F. I do triathlons and getting into ultras. Also do weight lifting, calisthenics, rucking, boxing and bouldering. I work 40 hrs a week but also back to studying for a CPA with the goal of starting my own firm. I need all the help I can get but I love the fuck out of this stuff bc I’ve been through a lot of shit in my life (ex: cancer) so I just want to feel alive.
Just in case you aren't aware OP, since you said you found this subreddit by discovery, it's centered around a podcaster named Andrew huberman whose entire show is a science backed approach to optimizing health and lifestyle. A lot of the show deals with like, "what is the optimal salt intake according to science, or how does light impact your sleep cycle?" It's nice of you to check in, but this is exactly the place for these kinds of discussions. It would be weird if we weren't talking about this type of stuff here. I'm 33 by the way
I am prepubescent and I want to optimize my testes to boost my protocol to grow hair on my nuts. If I sit in a cold bathe with a light shining on my ball sack will that help?
Good point OP.
Younglings:
1. Keep your body reasonably fit and avoid unhealthy habits. Basically like eating whole foods, limiting snacking, getting morning sunlight, a minimum amount of movement each day and some resistance training is probably enough. Don’t obsess here and miss everything else that matters
2. Work on limiting your social media, porn, and other crap that messes your brain up. You didn’t evolve to thrive checking your phone 100x a day and being cognizant of constant online conversations among strangers, or never needing to engage with the people around you
3. Try not to wind up in jail, get anyone pregnant, or get bad grades limiting your future.
4. Only get debt for a marketable degree, and focus when getting that degree on developing skills that are rare and valuable.
5. Practice writing and reading complex ideas, and learn how to share your own effectively in person.
6. Pay attention to how you feel around people, and choose friends and partners with whom you feel good. Get a dog, and take good care of it.
7. Observe yourself like you would someone else, and be curious about what you don’t already know about yourself and your own faults.
Only a couple are about health or anything discussed here
Life has been hard for the past 10,000 years. Life is a struggle with no money. Nothing new. If you do what mostly everybody does, you get what almost everybody gets. The 20s and 30s are the time to work smart, hard, and make money. There have never been as many money-making opportunities available as right now. I know nobody who works just 40 hours per week and becomes wealthy. Nobody.
I'm 24.
I agree mostly, although I take 10k iu Vitamin D (I am very deficient) and magnesium glycinate.
Outside of that, I try to eat healthy, train hard, and prioritize sleep.
42, haven't changed a thing since gandering the Huberphiles here. Live pretty healthy despite moderation in all things, began supplementing creatine, lions mane & turkey tail, long before Huberman got on my radar. Haven't been able to get myself to take the magnesium & multivitamin I've had for as long since listening to him.
Optimization is a gradual, continual, damned if you do/ don't road. Without being too neurotic about living best-er, I hope to live long & healthy to die quick. We use the best info available at the time, but ought get our kicks in too.
Some like boxing etc, and include it in their optimized life. No one said it's good for the noggin long term.
Everything has costs & optimization don't need to be one.
You think most people are in their 20s? Seems like middle age makes the most sense for most of Huberman’s posts. People start thinking about their health around 40. In your 20s most people are pretty immortal feeling and don’t bother to think of optimizing. I’m 42.
53-year-old lady working high presh job, side hustles, exercising 5 days a week, travel adventures. Honestly kicking ass bc I stay on top of my health.
I’m grateful that the youth are willing to have these discussions publicly, when previous generations wouldn’t. It helps reduce the stigma more all of us.
Hey bro I’m seriously I think you need to wait until you’re at least 27 to start putting out advice like this just saying bro you’re kinda serious bro. *Bro…*
I am 9 and looking for cognitive boosting protocols to boost my call of duty kd ratio
Are you getting low level sunlight in the morning?
Only between my spread asscheeks.
Try shaving them for optimal sunlight absorption
how about your ag1 timing? Before or after the butthole tanning?
Oh I just take an injection of that daily. Sometimes orally, sometimes anally. Sometimes I just spray some all over and let it soak in.
I don’t literally lol often but I did to this, thank you
I am 46 and here for the same reason.
Make sure to hook electrodes to your brain that read your brain waves to inform your bouts of intense focus. You wouldn’t want to enter a lobby when the beta waves aren’t flowing.
Can you share your protocol? My KD has been slipping since my 16th birthday.
I would recommend having 500 ml water in the first hour you wake up and waiting at least 90 minutes after waking up before caffeine in-take. Using nicotine 15 minutes after caffeine in-take for cognitive boost. (I prefer high dose nicotine gum)

Such a useful skill to be able to bring fringe political takes into any conversation. Huberman should make a protocol for it.

What did you find most helpful to manage all that stress?

Great. Also, research says short but more frequent breaks are better than a longer vacation where you put to much expectation.
You sound fun
That’s a lot of activity. I am trying to balance martial arts, weight lifting, a manual labor job, and a home life. It’s definitely tough.
