Be careful about stacking stimulants and exercise.
Energy drinks, caffeine, and nicotine can improve motivation and performance, but they also cause high-amplitude dopamine release with minimal to zero effort.
When you use a stimulant, you might feel more motivated to workout. But in the absence of the stimulant, your motivation levels are likely to plummet.
If you need a stimulant for every workout, you’re creating a pattern of behavior that won’t serve you well in the long run.
Listen as Dr. Andrew Huberman (@hubermanlab) describes how he uses caffeine to enhance his workout quality while preventing it from becoming a crutch.

People with low muscle strength were 50% more likely to die earlier. Muscle strength may be an even more important predictor of general health and longevity than muscle mass.
Resistance training is the only thing that will increase muscle strength, and it is never too late to gain strength.
A small study involving 90-year-old participants revealed that eight weeks of high-intensity resistance training led to a remarkable 174% increase in muscle strength and a 48% improvement in walking speed, despite only a 9% increase in muscle size.
Engaging in resistance training, regardless of age, can fundamentally transform our biological resilience and quality of life.

This might be one of the most important documentaries that anyone can watch right now given current events and escalations between Hamas, Israel, Iran, and the US.
All wars are bankers wars.
If you are still caught up in the left vs right, Israel vs Palestine, Ukraine vs Russia narratives, treating geopolitics and war as if it's a football game where you are rooting for one side to win as the real moral authority, then you need to take 45 minutes out of your day to watch this in full.
I've shared this documentary already weeks ago and a lot of people saw it and appreciated it, but I think it's now more important than ever for as many people to see it as possible and to really understand the profound and eye opening truth behind those words, and how EVERY SINGLE conflict has had powers above it funding both sides with nefarious intent behind it and a broader agenda that is not in the true interests of the people.
I don't think any of what's happening right now is organic. I don't think Hamas getting into Israel to murder and capture civilians was a mistake, nor do I think the $6bil the Biden admin unfroze for Iran in exchange for hostages before the attack was a mistake either. They're constructing narratives right in front of us and we cannot just blindly believe them on surface level evaluation, especially when these narratives are being given by the establishment and MSM.
I've said this before and I'll say it again. You need to think like they do with strategy, perception, and propagandistic motivations in mind. You need to try and understand why they are presenting whatever information to the public and for what purpose. You need to question every action, every directive, every media spin.
Why is the narrative now shifting towards Biden admin causing this attack by releasing funds to Iran? Why is Lindsey Graham pre-emptively suggesting war with Iran in conjunction with this? What if this is designed to ensure Biden attacks Iran to cover his ass in giving them $6bil back?
Also...Why was there such a huge focus of attention on anti-semitism on X in the weeks leading up to this attack? Was that organic? or was that planned in advance knowing there would be an attack on Israel and perceptions needed to be pre-emptively put in place for justifying censorship?
Question everything. Assume conspiracy.

I’ve kept an eye on this Israel situation for the past few days.
Here’s what I’ve learned, & here are my blunt & honest thoughts:
1. Israel chose to ignore intelligence from Egyptian officials about a major attack coming from Hamas.
2. Multiple former IDF soldiers & Israeli intelligence personnel have come forward online and said there’s a zero percent chance Israel was unaware of this attack beforehand or couldn’t have prevented it.
3. We just watched unsophisticated terrorists on hang gliders soar into one of the most heavily-defended & surveilled countries on the planet.
4. Within 48 hours of the attack, we’re now suddenly seeing enormous support for an American war with Iran and the genocide of the Palestinian people.
I’m witnessing American pastors and formerly level-headed influencers in our world completely lose their minds and call for genocide.
It’s unsurprising, but insane to watch.
If the events of the past three years have taught me anything, it’s that when people get whipped into an emotional frenzy, critical thinking completely goes out the window.
People become highly suggestible and will rush to extremely dangerous conclusions without thinking about the consequences.
I think this is what we’re all witnessing with this situation in Israel.
I’m reminded of Pearl Harbor and 9/11.
In both scenarios, the American government received intelligence in advance of the attacks, but chose not to prevent the attacks.
Why?
The American government was willing to sacrifice the lives of American citizens in order to advance its geopolitical goals.
Pearl Harbor gave the justification to enter WWII.
9/11 gave justification to invade the Middle East & drastically expand the American military industrial complex & our surveillance apparatus.
They were brutal & extremely traumatic events for the American public to witness. The emotional trauma caused people to get whipped into an emotional frenzy.
America wanted ONE THING in response to these attacks:
The blood of our enemies.
I see the same psyop playing out now.
People are whipped into a frenzied bloodlust.
In their frenzied bloodlust, people are overlooking some SERIOUSLY important facts here, notably:
1. The fact that none of this adds up,
2. innocent civilians are being threatened with genocide, and
3. Escalated violence in the Middle East and a war with Iran both risk ***the rest of the planet getting dragged into WWIII.***
What happened in Israel this weekend was obviously gut-wrenching and awful to witness, but I do not trust Israel’s so-called “intelligence failure”, nor do I trust the snakes in Washington calling for war with Iran, & I sure as hell no longer trust any of the emotionally-frenzied influencers calling for explicit genocide of innocent civilians.
This was a defining moment in history, similar to Pearl Harbor, 9/11, COVID, the beginning of the Ukraine war, etc, and a lot of people just got played.
Hard.
People responded by going full mask-off, exposing themselves as reckless & incapable of exercising sound judgment in moments of chaos and heightened emotion.
And we’re now at the brink of WWIII because of it.
This is all worth noting.
There’s a high likelihood there will be more chaos throughout the rest of this decade.
There will be more psychological operations.
There will be more moments in time in which cooler heads ought to prevail, but people will get whipped into an emotional frenzy instead.
Keep your wits about you, & be cautious in whom you allow yourself to be influenced by.
Recognize that governments & intelligence agencies spend enormous resources waging psychological operations on social media nonstop when stuff like this goes down.
Remember that when chaos is at its peak, history shows there is ALMOST ALWAYS a hidden agenda being played out, & that hidden agenda is ALWAYS designed to prey on our base emotions to facilitate a desired end-result.
Pray for world peace tonight.
Thanks. 🤙
From the 1970’s through the early 2000’s Germany ran the Kentler project
They took young homeless boys and made them live with gay men with the intent for them to be raped
They theorized it was good for older men to have sex with children
Not a single person has been jailed or held accountable
Germany is a failed state
Resistance training - not just aerobic exercise - enhances skin health and may counteract skin aging.
Both resistance and aerobic exercise improved skin aging in sedentary, middle-aged women. But only resistance training increased the thickness of the dermis (inner skin layer).
Flat Earth was Phoenician propaganda to protect their lucrative monopoly on trans-Atlantic trade. For example, Michigan mined copper fueled the bronze age in the old world, as it can not all be accounted for in Native American artifacts. Its been revived as an Antarctic psy-op.
An abundance of energy, either circulating in your blood as sugars or triglycerides, or stored as fat, puts you in ‘abundance mode’ (not ‘adversity mode’) so your body doesn’t bother fighting for survival, and this increases inflammation & accelerates aging… 1/10
What people think is stopping their fat loss that likely isn't:
❌Slow metabolism
❌Hormones
❌The perfect pro/carb/fat ratio
❌Specific nutrients
What is more likely stopping progress:
✅Lack of accountability
✅Overeating on weekends
✅Unaccounted calories
✅Inconsistency
There is an AI deepfake of me making derogatory comments about the German government circulating. The voice is off but it's otherwise moderately convincing.
A 2 min cold immersion to the neck and five, 30 second cold showers per week led to a significant reduction in abdominal fat and waist circumference in the men in this study; also multiple psychological improvements related to stress & wellbeing. https://t.co/C8l1vARyBi
A brief & yet hugely impactful *addition* to an exercise protocol is to get your heart rate WAY up at/near maximum for 60-90seconds, 1X per week (2-4X would be even better). It positively impacts long form endurance capacity, strength, power output & cardiovascular health.
The effects of obesity on the brain mimic those of Alzheimer's disease.
Neuroimaging data shows that obesity and Alzheimer’s disease are linked to gray matter atrophy in brain regions involved in attention and areas involved in reason, problem-solving, and comprehension.
Any creatine other than monohydrate (CM) is a scam
CM saturates the muscle cells 100% with phosphocreatine, you can’t do better
CM is the cheapest, most effective form so why do companies try to sell others?
Because the profit margins on CM are so slim they reinvent the wheel
High-intensity exercise increases lactate - which is transported into the brain and increases serotonin.
High-intensity exercise increased serotonin, which correlated with improved inhibitory control - the ability to selectively focus and suppress attention to other stimuli.
