Social media addiction
You're incredibly active on addictive social media platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube, yet you're still highly productive. My strategy has always been to not use social media at all, but I'm impressed by your ability to accomplish so much while seemingly be able to resist the pull of the addictive algorithms of social media... I would like to do the same, but I have trouble staying off. I have three questions. What do you tell yourself to stay off? What protocols do you use to resist the pull? Finally, does having a team help you maintain your sanity?
Good news/Bad news with the Sleep cocktail
The good news is it helps me with the issue I have of transitioning from consciousness to sleep state. I fall asleep within the hour. Falling asleep has been impossible since I kicked a 15 yr Valium dependency. The bad news is it only works for 3 hrs max. So I wake up at 3 a.m and can't get back to sleep. Can I take another dose of the sleep cocktail? Any suggestions to get me sleeping again?
Zone 2 training
Hi! I have recently started doing more Zone 2 cardio thanks to you and Dr. Peter Attia. I would like to know the shortest duration you can do to still reap the mitochondrial benefits. So, if you only have 30 min, is that enough? On days I have more time, I sometimes like to do a combination of activities eg. elliptical plus bike. If your heart rate drops and you go into zone 1 briefly during the transition, do you lose the benefit of doing zone 2 for a longer duration eg. 30 min elliptical plus 45 min bike but drop in between for 2-5 minutes. Finally, I know it is better to do Zone 2 before Zone 5 (I sometimes add 20 min HIIT after an endurance session). But what about weight training? Is it better to do before or after the cardio? Of note, I usually do my exercise fasted (to get to my eating window for TRF) but that means I'm not consuming protein until sometimes >3 hrs after the start of my activity. Thoughts?
Sleep for Teenagers
Some high schools are now starting later in the morning (8:30am start versus a 7:30am start). This is in response to a common belief that teenagers can't wake up early (or go to bed early). Do you believe the science supports this as good practice? Should schools be looking at this? Are there alternatives?
