Andrew Huberman says most men over 40 should probably be taking Cialis every single day.
The vasodilation from it that helps with erections is the same mechanism that:
- Lowers blood pressure
- Protects the brain
- Prevents strokes
Stanford's head of male sexual health, Dr. Mike Eisenberg, recommends 2.5 to 5 milligrams of tadalafil daily for most men over 40.

Michael Phelps won 23 Olympic gold medals using a mental technique most athletes ignore:
"The biggest thing that really separated me through my career was my mental game. Everything that was in between my ears."
Michael explains how he used visualization:
"When I would visualize, I'd visualize every single thing getting up to a meet, probably a month or so in advance. What could happen. What I want to happen. And what I don't want to happen. Because when it happened, I was prepared for it."
He describes the goal:
"When I got to a swim meet, there's nothing I can control at that point except what I do. I can't control what anybody else does. So I want to know how the race could go, how I don't want the race to go, and in a perfect world, how the race should go. So I could get behind the block and not have to think about anything."
His coach Bob Bowman reveals how they trained this skill:
"When Michael was young, I gave his mom a book of progressive relaxation. Before he'd go to bed at night, she would read this progression of things: clench your fists, work through your whole body. He got so good she'd just open the book, say two things, and he'd be asleep."
Bowman explains why visualization works:
"The brain cannot distinguish between something that's vividly visualized and something that's real. By the time Michael steps up on the block at the Olympics, he's swum that race hundreds of times in his mind. All he has to do is shut everything down and it goes on autopilot."
Michael adds the key detail most miss:
"When I would visualize, it would be what you want it to be, what you don't want it to be, what it could be. So you're always ready for anything. If I have a suit rip, fine, I need another suit, put it on. Any small thing that could go wrong, I'm ready for."

He calls it "truthmaxxing”: trusting your own judgment above everything.
Pure Elon: follow your conviction, no matter what.
A recent study has demonstrated that continuous exposure to rose essential oil through inhalation can lead to measurable increases in gray matter volume in the human brain.
In this randomized controlled intervention, 50 healthy women participated: 28 in the experimental group applied rose essential oil to their clothing daily for one month, while 22 in the control group used plain water. Before and after the period, researchers used magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess changes in brain structure. The results indicated a significant increase in gray matter volume (GMV) across the whole brain, with a particularly notable effect in the posterior cingulate cortex (PCC)—a region involved in memory processing, self-referential thinking, and emotional regulation. No significant changes occurred in areas like the amygdala or orbitofrontal cortex.
The olfactory pathway likely explains this effect: aromatic compounds from the rose oil travel directly to the limbic system, providing sustained stimulation that may promote neuroplasticity and help counteract age-related brain atrophy. The authors suggest this could have implications for dementia prevention, as the PCC is among the regions affected early in conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
This appears to be the first evidence that prolonged scent inhalation can induce structural changes in the adult human brain.

Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman shares with Bill Maher a surprising trick to help you fall back asleep when you wake up in the middle of the night.
“I can’t promise, but I’m willing to wager… that within five minutes or so, you’ll be back to sleep.”
This year, I wish you less — less information, less food, less entertainment, less communication, less stimulation. You already have too much of all that, and it stands in the way of your serenity, health, sleep, and creativity. Merry Christmas! ☦️
I don't say this lightly, but this is the best new fantasy anime I've seen since Mushoku Tensei. If you haven't watched this yet, I recommend you to do so

Andrew Huberman: "Someone I really respect said this, 'There are basically two kinds of people in life. Winners and losers.' And the definition is this—losers take things that happen to them... and the wallow and they use it for self or outward destruction."
"Winners take whatever they feel, it sucks, and they transmute it into things that are good for themselves and for the world."
Socialist Bernie Sanders is upset that rich people might get richer by developing AI. Apparently, the real tragedy isn’t poverty or scarcity, but the possibility that someone might profit while making everyone else’s life easier.
If AI raises profits by raising productivity, producing more and better goods at lower prices, then consumers are the real winners. But Sanders isn’t worried about consumers. He’s worried about jobs, as if jobs are some moral good in and of themselves.
Jobs are not the goal. They’re the cost. We don’t work because work is fun. We work because we want the goods and services that work produces. If technology lets us get those things without the work, that’s not exploitation, it’s progress.
Every worker is also a consumer. And consumers benefit when prices fall. When goods and services cost less, people don’t have to work as hard to afford them. If prices fall far enough, people barely have to work at all. That’s not a dystopia, that’s the logical endpoint of productivity.
As long as goods and services are scarce, some work will always need to be done. When technology eliminates one job, it frees up labor to do something else. The less labor required to meet our needs, the more leisure society enjoys and the higher our collective standard of living. That’s how civilization advances.
But if Sanders is right, if anything that eliminates jobs is bad, then we should be consistent. Let’s not just smash all the robots and ban AI, but destroy every labor-saving device ever invented since the Stone Age. That way every one of us can go back to foraging, hauling water, building straw huts by hand, and stitching clothes from the hides of animals we kill ourselves with hand-carved spears.
Everyone will have a job working from sunrise to sunset, every day. No one will be unemployed. No one will retire. If you don’t work, you die.
But at least Bernie Sanders will be happy, as no one will be getting rich off us.
