Mike Tyson on discipline: "The best way to receive discipline is to do what you hate to do, but do it like you love it. You do that, that's discipline."
Harvard scanned meditators' brains and found something that should've made headlines everywhere.
10-20 minutes a day doesn't just "reduce stress," it physically grows new brain tissue, shrinks your fear center, and reverses age-related cortical thinning.
Here's the breakdown:🧵
@forallcurious A grain of sand? No, it’s a universe.
Harvard & Google just mapped 1mm³ of the human brain. The result?
🔹57,000 cells
🔹150,000,000 synapses
🔹1.4 PETABYTES of data
We found "whorls" & "super-connections" that aren't in any textbook.👇

@paulkruegersd Wait just one minute Paul, you need a “media ID” to enter a building in San Diego ?!?!? Let alone in CA?!?!? A media ID?!?!? But no ID to vote?!?
If you’re curious what I actually do for longevity, here’s my weekly routine:
~5 hrs/week of exercise (when I'm not traveling). That includes:
• CrossFit (~3 hrs/wk) for strength + high-intensity work
• "Zone 2" running on recovery days for cardiovascular and brain benefits
I also try to sauna 5x/week at night for heat acclimation and supporting sleep quality.
A simple, whole-food diet:
• ~1.6 g protein/kg/day
• Eggs + smoothie for breakfast, turkey burger for lunch, and vegetables/salad + meat for dinner
Last is supplements:
• In the morning, I take creatine (10 grams), a multivitamin, cocoa polyphenols, sulforaphane, and omega-3s
• In the evening, I take magnesium, omega-3s, vitamin D + K2, PQQ, and nicotinamide riboside (NR)
This is what I’ve found to be sustainable and aligns with the latest evidence.
