I spent 100+ hours researching what actually works for:

• Better sleep
• More energy
• Longer life
• Lower stress
• Sharper focus

I'll post one science-backed tip every day.

Follow @TheHealthMinute so you don't miss them.

@LoriShemek If these results translate to humans, it could be a major step forward. But we've seen many therapies succeed in animals and fail in clinical trials, so the real milestone will be well-designed human studies.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@Dr_Biohacker The most exciting findings are the ones that hold up across multiple high-quality human trials. Nattokinase is promising, but it's worth following the evidence as it evolves rather than any single study.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@GutOptimized Sometimes what looks like a gut problem is actually a nutrition problem. Before adding more supplements, it's worth asking whether the body simply has everything it needs to repair itself.

@KristenJakobitz Sleep quality is about more than duration. A cool, dark room is one of the simplest evidence-based ways to support deeper sleep, regardless of age.

@Longevity_EDU Astaxanthin is an interesting antioxidant with promising research, but context matters. No supplement can outcompete the fundamentals of sleep, exercise, and a nutrient-rich diet.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@LoriShemek Magnesium is one of those nutrients where correcting a deficiency can have wide-ranging effects. It's not a cure-all, but it's involved in so many biological processes that adequate intake is easy to underestimate.

MINDSET: stress control & community

This list costs nothing but changes your life.

@MagnusVigso Chronic stress doesn't just affect testosterone. It affects sleep, recovery, body composition, and performance too. Fix the stress, and a lot tends to improve.

@bryan_johnson One of the hardest truths in longevity is that prevention often gets all the attention, while detection gets overlooked. Finding a problem early can sometimes matter more than any supplement, diet, or optimization strategy.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@_MCRicardo_ @LoriShemek @_atanas_ @DrKristieLeong @DrRPalmquist @JuhanaHarju @UsNdHealth @drfherediaz @DrGrimaldesJ One of the most overlooked ideas in health is that the mouth isn't separate from the rest of the body. Metabolic health, oral health, and brain health appear to be far more connected than we once thought.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@Dr_Biohacker The body doesn't wake up all at once. Blood pressure, heart rate, cortisol, and clotting activity all rise rapidly in the morning. How you start those first minutes may matter more than most people realize.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@BrandonLuuMD We often focus on learning more and forget that performance depends on state. A calmer nervous system can unlock abilities you already have but can't access under stress.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@thyroiddriven The conversation around salt is more nuanced than "salt is bad." Context matters: activity level, insulin sensitivity, kidney health, overall diet quality, and whether someone is consuming processed foods or whole foods can completely change the picture.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@nicknorwitz @foundmyfitness I think one of the biggest mistakes in nutrition is confusing a therapeutic diet with a universal diet. An intervention can be life-changing for a specific condition without being the optimal long-term approach for everyone. That's nuance, not contradiction.

[The Health Minute @TheHealthMinute]

@bryan_johnson Sleep is the closest thing we have to a performance-enhancing drug that's completely legal and free. Most people try to fix low energy with caffeine when what they're actually missing is recovery. Everything compounds when sleep is in place.

30 days of health truth.

The most important thing I've learned:

There is no secret.

The "secret" is doing the obvious things consistently:
→ Sleep
→ Move
→ Eat mostly real food
→ Manage stress
→ Maintain relationships

The boring path is the fastest path.

The best intervention for chronic disease:

Exercise.

• Diabetes: Reduces HbA1c like medication
• Depression: Matches antidepressants in non-severe cases
• Hypertension: Lowers blood pressure 4–9 mmHg
• Anxiety: Cuts symptoms across 49 trials

It is underprescribed medicine.
