I've done this before and recently got back into it again. Huberman has talked about it as a way of increasing one's response to stress. It's also a meditation. I followed along with the video for a week and don't need it now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0pGZLx_v0w&t=2s&ab_channel=Kitar...

I was my son's personal trainer. I love him more than anybody, which is why it hurts so much. I wanted a close family and the opposite of the one I grew up in. We were a close family for a lot of years. After the cancer, it got really rough when they hit adolescence. Without warning, one day when he...

Bram You're doing a lot better than me in the forgiveness department. My mother was sadistic, narcissistic, and a highly manipulative multiple personality and used me as an emotional support. She didn't love me, but I sure tried to get it from her to no avail. When she died at the age of 95, five ye...

Another Huberman video of 8 minutes presented as a public service. I didn't send to anybody my age because they won't do it so why make them feel worse and freak them out. Maybe one of your friends or relatives will be persuaded to do some of this. Probably in 30 or 40 years, if the human race survi...

I put up these kinds of videos because it might help even one person. The title is click bait, but it has useful content in 12 minutes. Andrew Huberman is a neuroscience professor at Stanford. To encapsulate the video. Important goals like athletic performance, business, writing a book contain stres...

Another deep regret I'm trying to let go of. I started a spiritual quest in 1970. I don't know if I'm a spiritual seeker any more. I had some very deep visions (not from drugs) of total love and experiencing the Divine (that's what I called it. Maybe it was just my neurons firing in a particular pat...

Sleep problems are due to several factors. 1 Too frequent urination at night. I could get back to sleep after the second time but not the third. There were times I'd urinate a lot more than that. It happens to a lot of guys my age probably due to an enlarged prostate which I have. I was drinking too...

What you're doing works so keep it up. The body changes whether you like it or not. If I were you, I wouldn't change your program, and hopefully you'll live a long healthy life. I like cardio more than the lifting, but if I don't lift the consequences are dreadful. My advice is over the decades keep...

I have listened to Colonel Douglas MacGregor recently about the disastrous fiasco of Ukraine. It's great for lining the pockets of the military industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned against over 60 years but dreadful for America. The amount of money sunk into this is not believable. wh...

It's about 4 minutes and worth hearing. I assume everyone on this board is covered by his recommendations, but family members, friends may not be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk_tUQSDN0k&t=10s&ab_channel=ThinkZone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk_tUQSDN0k&t=10s&ab_channel=ThinkZo...

I found the podcast. Ten companies control 85% of the calories in America. It's at 1 hour 14 minutes and 46 seconds into the podcast. Lustig talks about how he's trying to change this.

I don't eat any of that stuff and rarely did. My friend from high school who was in an old age home, fell and hit his head about a month ago is lucky to be in a nursing home and getting physical therapy. The doctors were sure he'd die then when he was on a ventilator. He was a decent athlete in high...

Terry Jones the presenter is very entertaining and very funny. There's a lot of black humor. I knew the Crusades were brutally gruesome, but they were a lot worse than I imagined. Each part is about 50 minutes. I watched half so far and have learned much more than expected. https://www.google.com/se...

Bram I couldn't find the link while doing a quick search. I heard it in an interview with McGill. Indian Hatha yoga is quite ancient dating back at least 2,000 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatha_yoga When I started doing hatha yoga in 1970, it was viewed as part of a series of spiritual prac...

Benny, thanks for the advice. I've never done them and just found them online. I'll check them out. I haven't done hatha yoga seriously in 35 years when I was in an Iyengar yoga class. I started this thread after Bram wrote about going to a Bikram yoga class and thought it could be helpful.

Be careful not to overdo it and stretch too far resulting in injury or even surgery. Pay attention and listen to your body, since every session might be different. Some days, one can stretch further than others. Stuart Mcgill, professor emeritus at Waterloo University in Ontario, and one of the fore...

I'm really grateful not to have young kids. I don't know how you can raise them to be healthy in the world they're in. My kids had to have cell phones due to terrorism in Israel. If there was a terror attack near them, we wanted to know if they were safe. There weren't smart phones before they went ...

I don't know if it's worse than before Covid, but I see a lot of kids here walking around looking at their phones. I remember about 15 or so years ago being in LA, and some people were talking loudly on their cell phones while walking on the sidewalk. A friend said then that a lot of people were not...

Layman talks about his protein recommendations and how much can be absorbed for muscle protein synthesis on this podcast at 1:39:33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NNBgm0c3zY&t=6094s&ab_channel=TheProofwithSimonHill His personal recommendation is 40 grams of protein for breakfast, 55 for di...
