How your ability to focus is dependent on your diet: Being fasted reduces parasympathetic "rest and digest" activation, keeping you alert. "Half as much caffeine will give you just as much lift as twice as much caffeine will give you on a full belly of pasta." Neurons thrive on... glucose. A study published in Neuron found that "the precision with which neurons in the brain will represent things in our environment is actually much greater when there is sufficient glucose in the brain." Very low blood glucose sharpens concentration through alertness; sufficient blood glucose sharpens concentration through improved neural encoding. Overeating collapses both. Delay the first caffeine intake to 90 to 120 minutes after waking to avoid an afternoon energy crash. Do a first 90-minute focus block fasted with water, electrolytes, and caffeine. After eating, expect a dip. A second 90-minute block in the afternoon is viable if the midday meal is modest enough to avoid pushing the nervous system into parasympathetic mode. Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.show more

Sauna spikes your blood glucose as much as a meal: - A CGM showed sauna sessions spiking glucose as high as a full meal - It's not a sensor error - you dehydrate, water leaves the blood, and sugar concentration rises - Glucose drops back to baseline or slightly below once you rehydrate - The recommended protocol is sauna 3-4x per week, 1-2 hours before sleep, within an 8-10 hour feeding window - The mental and physical benefits outweigh a concentration-driven spike - don't drop sauna over it Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

Eating too much added sugar could be shrinking your brain Even if your blood glucose levels are within the “normal” range, being on the high end is linked to more atrophy in the hippocampus (critical for learning and memory) and the amygdala (vital for emotional regulation) Worse yet, higher blood glucose levels are associated with a 54% increased risk of vascular dementia Consuming too much added sugar isn’t just bad for your waistline—it’s putting your brain at risk

Improving blood sugar control can happen in as little as 90 days, even without medication Here's how Benjamin Bikman helped people with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes drop their A1C from 8.9% to 5.6%: • Control carbs – Focus on veggies and lower-sugar fruits; avoid bananas, pineapples, mangoes, and starchy roots • Prioritize protein – And don't fear the natural fat found in high-quality meats • Time your meals – Eat more calories early (and try to stop eating 3–4 hours before bedtime) • Exercise – As much as you can. And remember: the best exercise is the one you'll do. As little as 10–15 minutes of walking after eating cuts glucose spikes dramatically.

“I have very high caffeine tolerance.” Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D. breaks down caffeine intake, which includes 4–6 cans of Mateína yerba mate per day, and occasionally a couple double espressos: “Caffeine's great. It's definitely a performance enhancer - so much so that the people who regulate this stuff in sports set an upper limit on the milligrams of caffeine that you can ingest.” “I cut off my caffeine intake at about 2 pm, but I also drink caffeine first thing in the morning if I'm going to work out in the first two hours of the day. I do that about three or four days a week.” “Other times, I wait a little while. I love yerba. I also drink coffee. I'll have a couple of double espressos. I love it.” “By 8:00 or 9:00, if you cut caffeine out earlier, you're going to crash on a steep cliff - and it feels great because you fall asleep easily.”

Timing your coffee intake for peak cognitive alertness has less to do with cortisol spikes and more to do with leveraging the biology of adenosine. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine, a molecule that builds up the longer you’re awake and makes you feel tired. But right after waking, adenosine levels are at their lowest, meaning there’s not much for caffeine to block. That initial “jolt” you feel from your first sips? It’s often just natural sleep inertia fading (or maybe the placebo effect from coffee’s smell and ritual). Dr. Michael Grandner (Dr. Michael Grandner) explains how waiting approximately one hour after waking allows adenosine levels to naturally accumulate, creating optimal conditions for caffeine to bind more effectively and producing a robust and measurable enhancement in alertness and cognitive performance. From the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast. Links to the full episode can be found below.

Dyno Therapeutics co-founder Sam Sinai on how his team cracked the blood-brain barrier well enough to reach 50% of neurons with a single injection: "For brain specifically, the brain has this extra layer of defense called the blood brain barrier. It's really put there to prevent anything to get in." "What we have done is actually in primates we can show that we can get up more than 50% of neurons, through a systemic injection." "You're just injecting in the veins, and then the virus actually makes its way into the brain." "Neurons are a primary target, but it could be in some cases glial cells, depending on the disease. Solving pan brain, meaning all of brain delivery, is a key objective there."

What if feeling calm and in control starts with your first bite of the day? Jessie Inchauspé has built her career around that idea - The idea that your glucose levels shape far more than you think… Many of you will recognise Jessie from the show, as this is the third time we’ve had her on. But for those of you who don’t know her, Jessie is a biochemist whose work has reshaped how many people view cravings and sugar. This time, we go much deeper than just “avoid sugar.” She walked me through how your fasting glucose is one of the most important numbers to know, and why muscle is one of your greatest metabolic assets. Small habits like moving after a meal or changing the order of your food can dramatically change your energy. When we started talking about pregnancy and stress, the conversation shifted. It stopped being about hacks and started being about responsibility. About the idea that what’s happening in your body today could shape someone else’s life tomorrow.

Be careful about stacking stimulants and exercise. Energy drinks, caffeine, and nicotine can improve motivation and performance, but they also cause high-amplitude dopamine release with minimal to zero effort. When you use a stimulant, you might feel more motivated to workout. But in the absence of the stimulant, your motivation levels are likely to plummet. If you need a stimulant for every workout, you’re creating a pattern of behavior that won’t serve you well in the long run. Listen as Dr. Andrew Huberman (Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.) describes how he uses caffeine to enhance his workout quality while preventing it from becoming a crutch. Check out the post below for a link to the full episode!

Can CGMs be harmful? Continuous glucose monitors are big business these days, and for sure, they can be helpful. Especially for people with type 1 diabetes and anyone treated with insulin, they can be a godsend. 🙌 However, they are now also promoted as tools for anyone to "avoid blood sugar spikes" to improve health and weight loss. This obviously expands the market massively, but is this a good and helpful way to use them? I would argue a CGM can be a good tool, if you know how to use it right. However, there are a couple of concerning risks if you don't, as I discuss in this clip: 1. Adding fats on top of any food will lower your blood glucose spike, but it can also add tons of extra empty calories, which may be counterproductive for weight loss, etc. In effect, lowering your blood glucose spike this way may lead to weight gain, not weight loss. 2. Healthy people on strict low-carb diets tend to develop "Adaptive Glucose Sparing," a fancy way of saying their glucose levels become very sensitive to even small amounts of carbohydrates. Wearing a CGM in this situation may make people afraid of even tiny amounts of carbs, like a few blueberries, thinking that any carbs are dangerous. A couple days of eating slightly more carbs could remove this issue. Berries and similar foods are hardly dangerous for healthy people. With those two major caveats, I'm all for testing CGMs and learning about blood glucose reactions to food. What is your experience with CGMs? Please share in the comments. More The clip is from my recent appearance on the Optimize Your Body podcast with Martinsilvafitness. Here's the full podcast on YouTube; it's also on Spotify and all other platforms:

How purpose and fulfillment physically change your brain's mitochondria: "People who felt more purpose in life and who felt more connected to others, it seemed like that was sufficient to increase the energy transformation capacity of the mitochondria in their brain." "If you tweak the mitochondria in a rat brain, you can change the behavior of that animal from more submissive to more dominant or from more dominant to more submissive." "Chronically stressful things actually damage the mitochondria in the brain, there are fewer mitochondria and they don't transform energy as well." "The human experience is the most direct way in which you can know whether the content of your life matches your energy and matches what matters for you." "Energy flow is the lynch pin between matter, the stuff of biology, and experiences." Martin Picard on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes beats a 30-minute walk for blood sugar control. Dr. Rhonda Patrick shared this on Rich Roll’s podcast. The GLUT4 transporters (which pull glucose into your muscles) stay elevated for up to 48 hours after movement. Short, intense bursts throughout the day, like quick squats, can actually outperform longer, lower-intensity activity for glucose regulation. A 2024 study found that doing 10 bodyweight squats every 45 minutes during an 8.5-hour sitting period improved blood glucose control better than a single 30-minute walk. The frequent muscle contractions drive more GLUT4 to the cell surface and create beneficial lactate signaling. With blood sugar issues on the rise, these tiny “exercise snacks” are an easy, zero-equipment way to support metabolic health all day long. Have you tried doing short movement breaks like squats during your workday? Did you notice any difference in energy or focus?

“To get your thyroid activity up, it requires good nutrition, high ratio of calcium to phosphate, if possible, a one-to-one ratio is very good, but many people on a standard diet are getting five times as much phosphate as calcium.” “Keeping a very, very high ratio of calcium to phosphate in your diet is helpful, because that helps to suppress the parathyroid hormone. And the parathyroid hormone blocks the use of oxygen in all of your tissues, and that leads to the production.” “If you have a high ratio of calcium to phosphate, calcium happens to suppress the fermentation of fiber and starch in the intestine. So high calcium intake will actually reduce the production of the endotoxin as well as reducing the consequences of your reaction to the endotoxin.” Ray Peat

You all know full well that if you produce too much of something, its value will fall. That's elementary. Money is just the same. If you print too much of it, its value will fall ... It isn't a newfangled theory. It is as essential as the law of gravity, and you can't avoid it if you want to in fact tackle inflation.

Anthony Chaffee said: "Alzheimer's is being called type 3 diabetes—you're getting insulin resistant in the brain, so you just can't get glucose into the brain for energy." He explains it further: "Your brain has been running on low energy for decades and it can just shrink and atrophy and get worse. Switching over to ketosis through a ketogenic diet and having ketones running your energy structure just bypasses that—you don't need insulin and it just goes bang right into your brain, turns on. It's like flicking a switch and your brain starts working a lot better.” Anthony Chaffee, MD also mentions: ”It can also start repairing and rebuilding because ketones cross the blood-brain barrier and reconstitute into fatty acids which make up the physical structures of the brain. Your brain is fat, your brain is cholesterol—so you need fat and cholesterol for that."

If your parent is showing signs of Alzheimer's and you want to do something about it, put them on the ketogenic diet. This diet puts their body into a state of ketosis, where instead of their brain burning sugar for fuel, it burns fat and produces something called ketones. Ketones become an alternative fuel source for their brains. Most people with Alzheimer's have brain cells that are insulin resistant. It can no longer efficiently pull glucose from the bloodstream for fuel. Even though glucose is available, the insulin delivery system is broken. Brain cells are starving and can no longer power themselves properly, causing brain fog, memory loss, cognitive decline, and even depression. Ketones bypass this broken system entirely. They cross the blood-brain barrier without needing insulin, feeding your brain cells directly. They produce less cellular waste than glucose. And even act as natural antioxidants exactly where your brain needs them most. Here's Dr. Dale Bredesen's ketogenic protocol from his latest clinical trial on Alzheimer's: • Cut simple carbohydrates. • Fast for at least 12 hours overnight. • Plant-rich diet high in healthy fats (a mildly ketogenic diet - best if starting out) 90% of his patients improved following these rules. Some went from impaired cognitive scores to perfect ones. And results were 7x greater than the leading Alzheimer's drugs. The ketogenic diet is one of the protocols families use to treat their parent's Alzheimer's in our online community. More on this in the comments below.
