Why self-experimentation can be useful.

Many people swear by GABA (including @hubermanlab and @bengreenfield ) this is why I experimented with it:
* For 6 days I took a placebo
* For 6 days I took GABA

Unfortunately, the result shows otherwise:

The last era was big data. The next era is verifiable data.

@ShechterAri @SatchinPanda Great question Ari.
I've seen some data suggesting: Isocaloric TRE still improves biomarkers of metabolic health, but not significantly improve bodyweight (studies on humans are debatable due to how hard it is to control though)
too lazy to lookup references 🙈✌️

.@hubermanlab's podcast is a masterclass in modern science communication. He calls it "direct-to-consumer" science. I think the market for this is bigger than people realize.

We need more full-stack scientists thinking beyond papers as the only relevant scientific output.

@GregoryMcKeown Love this part of Essentialism @GregoryMcKeown, but I think there's one part it misses:
- part of the essentialist mindset is to "accept the pain" of saying no to meaningful projects.
In my experience trying to apply it in practice, accepting this pain is in itself essential 🧡

Contrary to popular thought, dopamine is not released in response to surprise. It IS released, however, when our prior beliefs are confirmed.
This has real implications for conflict resolution of opposing stances.

@PeterAttiaMD @dylanohernandez Not true at all, Biles has excelled as a gymnast and may excel once again.
"perform under duress" is easier for @dylanohernandez to say from a male's perspective
"She was a spectacular performer and a worthy ambassador for her sport" Not really "she is a spectacular gymnast"
