@vidhster Congrats on the Interintellect grant! Super excited to see what’s coming down the pipeline around friendships—especially important as loneliness can be so damaging—affecting everything from our physical to mental health

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@JasonShen ain’t that the truth! 😂

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

lol why does managing your health as you get older start feeling like a part-time job

[Steve Schlafman @schlaf]

The Thesis Conference by @every and @interintellect_ was phenomenal.

We need more small IRL gatherings of smart and generous people exchanging ideas.

@JasonShen haha agreed! didn’t get a chance to chat last night but lots of top tier experiences last night

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@hubermanlab i’m curious—why do you say zero-cost instead of “free” 🤔

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@myles_cooks what’s manchego?? this looks amazing! 😍

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@maxlugavere google docs prb ur best bet; in what way are you worried it’s not safe?

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

Alcohol is amazing.

Amazing because despite:
- It making us feel like shit
- Making us someone we’re not proud of
- Detrimental effects on our brain and body

…society still accepts and enables it. And we still love drinking it!

If you believe that #obesity, #diabetes, and #cardiovascular disease are all inter-related because they are "metabolic disorders"...

then it is time to add #mental disorders to the list of "metabolic disorders."

#Mental health = #Metabolic health

I consider healthspan more important than longevity. Who wants to live longer if you can’t live well?

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@gjohnson391 @hubermanlab looool same tho

[Structured Success @StructuredSucc]

My entire childhood I was told I needed to think before I spoke. I'm sure other ADHD'ers can relate.

The problem is that I couldn't actually do that, and I still can't, so what I learned instead was to not speak

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@hubermanlab What if you’re just holding the phone and using it for a while? Is contact through your hands harmful? Or if it’s nearby while you’re working all day? I guess the question really is how close it needs to be to be harmful.

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@rubenponders @hubermanlab Probably because it’s hard to remember it’s doing something bad to you 😅

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

@eli_loch @hubermanlab Same!!

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

I’ve been meditating since 2019 but I’ve never had this realization.

Thanks to the @wakingup app for helping me have this profound breakthrough. I hope there are more to come!

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

💥 Meditation breakthrough moment:

Thoughts aren't in my head.

Sounds don't pass through my ears.

I am not in my body.

Let me explain. 👇

[Joyce Ling @thejoyceling]

Said in another way:

Thoughts are consciousness.

My perception of sounds is consciousness.

The sensations that define “my body” is consciousness.

👉🏼 There is no “me” or “other”. There is only consciousness.
