Bryan Johnson reveals the 5 habits for incredible sleep

‘When you go to bed on time your basically giving your body capacity to heal it self and repair slowing down your speed of aging’

‘Sleep is the most powerful drug available to anybody by far the most powerful drug,I have achieved the best sleep score in human history’

‘You need to map your identity you are a professional sleeper,you have to show up on time and treat it seriously’

‘Your final meal of the day maters a lot so I eat my final meal of the day 9 hour before bed I do that because my body completes digestion’

[Dalton (Analyze & Optimize) @Outdoctrination]

Collagen can reverse aging in the brain, even in small amounts.

Collagen increased white matter in the brain after just 4 weeks.

White matter is the tissue in brain that mainly reflects the axons of neurons - the part that transmits signals to other neurons.

just 5g of collagen a day, a bit over a teaspoon.

[Dr. Rhonda Patrick @foundmyfitness]

One of the most common things I'm asked about is sleep supplements.

Here's my list (and why I take them):

• Melatonin - 3 mg or less 1-3 hours before bed. Best reserved for travel/jet lag or when you *really* need sleep.

• Magnesium glycinate - calms the nervous system especially when stressed (which depletes magnesium). I take 120 mg before bed but some research uses 200-400 mg.

• L-theanine - non-sedating amino acid that helps to calm the brain. A dose of 200-400 mg can improve sleep latency and sleep quality, especially if you're dealing with anxiety/insomnia.

• Glycine - when taken about 30-60 minutes before bed, it may improve subjective sleep quality due to its nervous system effects.

• Myo-inositol - not strongly evidenced as a sleep aid but I've found it helps me calm the "mental chatter" before bed.

Melatonin isn't a sleep hormone.

Your mitochondria make it during the day—under sunlight.

Scott Zimmerman, an optical engineer with 80+ patents, connected the dots.

Here's what this changes: 🧵

[no.mind @the_no_mind]

The problem with most supplements is the deuterium they deliver.

Stephanie Seneff, MIT researcher:

"People are loading up on supplements that are actually hurting them — they're not supplying the low deuterium resource that would have happened if it had been biological."

Most supplements are made in chemistry labs.

The molecules are chemically identical to their natural counterparts.

But they lack one critical property: deuterium depletion.

Deuterium is a heavy form of hydrogen that damages ATPase pumps in the mitochondria.

Melatonin is the clearest example.

Your gut produces 400x more melatonin than your pineal gland — most of it inside mitochondria.

Seneff: Melatonin is not primarily a sleep hormone. It is a deuterium depletion system.

Here's the mechanism:

Gut microbes produce hydrogen gas that is 80% deuterium depleted.

That gas feeds a chain of conversions — producing methyl and acetyl groups that are severely low in deuterium.

Those methyl and acetyl groups get attached to serotonin, converting it into melatonin.

Each melatonin molecule now carries depleted hydrogen — ready to be delivered to the mitochondria.

Inside gut cells (enterocytes), an enzyme called CYP2C19 strips the methyl group off melatonin.

Each time it does, it releases four molecules of deuterium-depleted water directly into the mitochondria — protecting the ATPase pumps that generate your cellular energy.

Four depleted water molecules. Per cycle. To the ATPase pumps that need them most.

When melatonin is made synthetically — which is virtually all commercial melatonin — the methyl and acetyl groups come from bulk chemicals made in a lab.

Random high deuterium content. The biological depletion step never happened.

Your body cannot tell the difference.

Sleep improves. Antioxidant effects occur.

But the deuterium depletion cycle doesn't run. The mitochondria don't get what they actually need.

The short-term benefit masks the long-term harm.

The TMAO (Trimethylamine N-oxide) evidence:

TMAO is a marker for deuterium toxicity — deuterium-loaded methyl groups accumulating systemically.

People who ate eggs — no TMAO increase.

People who took synthetic choline supplements — elevated TMAO.

The mechanism: enzymes that metabolize methyl groups can detect deuterium — and refuse to process it.

The trimethylamine survives in the gut. Gets oxidized in the liver. Becomes TMAO in the blood.

The same problem applies to:

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) — the acetyl group is low deuterium from gut microbes, unpredictable when synthetic.

Choline bitartrate — Seneff: "If you're taking choline bitartrate, you need to stop."

Methionine — methionine-deficient rats lived longer in one study.

Seneff's interpretation: methionine restriction extended lifespan not because methionine itself is harmful — but because the rats stopped receiving deuterium-loaded synthetic methionine.

Their gut microbes produced it naturally — low deuterium.

The rats getting synthetic methionine wrecked their mitochondria with deuterium-enriched methyl groups.

The deficient rats didn't.

Methylated B vitamins — likely synthetic, likely the same problem.

The studies testing these supplements never account for the fact that they're synthetic.

They have no idea that's even a variable worth measuring.

What to do instead:

- Get methionine from meat, fish and eggs — not synthetic amino acid supplements.

- Get choline from eggs and animal foods — not choline bitartrate.

- Get tryptophan from food — chicken, turkey, beef, pork, fish, eggs, hard cheeses (parmesan, cheddar). Your gut microbes convert it through the biological pathway naturally, producing depleted melatonin the way biology intended.

One study: tryptophan loading increases serum melatonin 4-fold — even in rats without a pineal gland, confirming the melatonin was gut-sourced not pineal-sourced.

- Animal fats — butter, tallow — are among the lowest deuterium foods available. Derived from acetate produced by gut microbes from deuterium-depleted hydrogen gas. The same pathway that makes biological methyl groups low in deuterium.

- Eat certified organic. Glyphosate disrupts the gut microbiome — which disrupts the entire deuterium management system upstream.

- Fermented foods support acetate production and the whole chain. Whenever the food is fermented, the microbes are making nutrients that are low in deuterium.

- Keep your gut microbiome healthy. It is your primary deuterium management system.

Seneff is 78 years old. Still writing papers. Mentally sharp. Doesn't take any supplements.

"I don't take any supplements. None of these organic molecules. None."

The supplement industry sells you the molecule.

They don't sell you the mechanism biology built into the production process.

@bryan_johnson @grok how can I prevent Alzheimer’s

[Matt Giannino @MarketMovesMatt]

I tested every indicator for 10 years:

MACD, Bollinger Bands, Stochastics, Fibonacci, Volume Profile, Order Flow...

After $83K in losses, I only use TWO:

1. RSI (tells me when to enter)
2. Moving Averages (tells me the trend)

That's it.

Everything else is noise.

My 3-rule system for 95% win rate:

Rule 1: Only sell puts on red days (RSI <50)
Rule 2: Target 5% return in 30 days
Rule 3: Close at 50% profit (5-7 days)

Simple systems win.
Complex systems lose.

Every time.

BREAKING: Claude now has the ability to pull live options chains and Greeks through a free API

It structures cash-secured puts, spreads, LEAPS, covered calls, and poor man's covered calls using real data

Here's how to set it up and 5 real trade setups it just built:

[Matt Giannino @MarketMovesMatt]

The "no lose" scenario most traders miss:

Sell put on TQQQ at $50 strike.
Collect $500 premium.

Scenario 1: TQQQ stays above $50
→ Keep $500. Never buy stock.
→ Do it again Monday.

Scenario 2: TQQQ drops to $45
→ Own 100 shares at $50
→ Real cost: $45 (premium offset)
→ Sell covered calls monthly
→ Lower cost basis weekly
→ Bounce = profit

Scenario 1: Win.
Scenario 2: Also win.

The system doesn't allow losing.
That's not luck. That's math.

[Jason Luongo @JasonL_Capital]

After years of selling cash-secured puts, here's the system that works for me consistently:

The setup I look for:

- Stock on my watchlist that I'd own for years
- RSI oversold on daily, ideally weekly confirming
- Price at or near meaningful support levels
- High IV environment so premiums are worth the risk
- Tight bid-ask spreads and strong open interest
- 30 DTE, ~0.20 delta
- Strike at or below support where buyers have historically stepped in

The rules:

- Close at 50% profit and redeploy. The annualized math crushes holding to expiration.
- If assigned, flip to covered calls above cost basis. That's not a loss. That's the wheel working.
- Premium collected gets reinvested into the next CSP or used to DCA into long-term holdings.
- Base hits compound. I'm not swinging for home runs.

Names I'm selling puts on right now:

$IREN - high IV, AI infrastructure thesis I have deep conviction in
$HOOD - extremely liquid chain, friendly premiums, would happily own more shares
$ONDS - defense/drone demand accelerating, elevated premiums on pullbacks
$SOFI - $1B quarterly revenue, CEO buying stock, premiums are rich after the selloff
$HIMS - telehealth platform with GLP-1 tailwind, elevated IV makes premiums attractive

What I've learned to avoid:

- Selling into earnings, CPI, or Fed days. Binary events are not my game.
- Names with wide spreads or low volume. Illiquidity silently destroys your edge.
- Stocks I don't actually want to own. Even if I'm "sure" I won't get assigned.
- Entering without a clear support level on the chart. No setup, no trade.

I wait for red days on quality names and collect premium like rent.

NFA DYOR

[Matt Giannino @MarketMovesMatt]

5 stocks I'll sell puts on forever 💸

These names pay premium AND I'd happily own them:

1. TQQQ – Tech 3x. Volatile enough to print weekly.
2. SOXL – Semis 3x. AI demand keeps it strong.
3. NVDL – Nvidia 2x. Best risk/reward on the list.
4. TNA – Small caps 3x. Underrated premium machine.
5. TSLL – Tesla 2x. Best used when discounted.

📈 High IV. Strong trends. Quality names.

Sell the puts. Collect the premium. Repeat.

[Matt Giannino @MarketMovesMatt]

Top 10 things that made me $200K last year:

1. Sold puts every single red day
2. Closed every trade at 50% profit
3. Never traded earnings
4. Kept 30% cash at all times
5. Only used 3 core tickers
6. Checked IV before every trade
7. Followed green EMA clouds only
8. Funded LEAPs with house money
9. Scaled position sizes slowly
10. Never broke a single rule

Rules aren't restrictions.
They're the reason I win.

Comment "WIN" to learn how to get all my trades daily.
