Optimizing for longevity - diet and lifestyle
I've consumed quite a lot of content about lifestyle, longevity and nutrition science, including David Sinclair, Dr Michael Greger, The Huberman Lab, Dr. Peter Attia etc. While a lot of the data points to a vegan or whole-food plant-based (WFPB) diet done right is the way to go, we also have the viewpoints of many other experts such as Dr. Peter Attia, stating exercise is the most important factor in optimizing for longevity. So technically, consuming animal-based protein to get the most of your exercise could supersede the same exercise regimen on a WFPB diet with longevity in mind? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this.
How to prevent night terrors in children?
Are there any specific protocols that can help in prevention of night terrors for kids? I'm asking specifically for the parasomnia ones (~3 hours after falling asleep, kid crying like possessed, not really awake, remembers nothing in the morning). Bonus question: if light late in the day is detrimental to our sleep why kids are having such a hard time falling asleep in the dark? Should we kill the night lights as soon as they fall asleep?
Tyrosine and 5HTP ratio
Hello, I have seen around the web the idea of taking tyrosine in a 10:1 ratio with 5htp. The idea being that if you adjust your dopamine levels, then your serotonin levels will suffer? Would you advise this based on your expertise? Secondly. Tyrosine seems to have a slower effect on me, subjectively giving me a focus and motivation boost for few hours, but not until an hour or so after taking it. Any reason this might be? Many thanks for the work you do, it has, and continues to completely change my life. Josh
Plants, Meat, what do we eat?
A great divide is coming into view among the biohacking, longevity seeking universe and I am quite confused. I’m paleo and would never eat grains again and I love my steaks. The carnivore crowd seem to be thriving and symptom free from thei previous health issues. The dichotomy is striking and upsetting at the same time. How are we supposed to know what is correct?
non-dominant hand training
I was wondering if you incorporate any specific training with your non-dominant hand to create more/different neural connections? Should we all be playing the piano or undertaking other such activities that use both hands? Would be great to get advice on any games or practices to build a better brain! Thanks.
