I'd be really supportive (or at least interested) if you did talk about modern peptides and nutrition more.
While I'm in the business space now, I did get a huge kick out of studying nutritional anthropology (what did humans eat in the past? the optimal human diet?)
which then got me into researching modern nutrition and its downfalls (there may be thousands of unknown nutrients modern nutritional study doesnt account for? the shitty way nutrition studies are often conducted? massive amounts of public doubt in govt safety institutions due to being compromised like the FDA was during aspartame approval? The way all the successful fad diets actually address different stages of mitochondrial damage and no one diet is the most effective? the whole ultra processed foods thing?)
Which lastly got me into sketchy reddit forums and other communities doing self-experimentation with peptides.
I'm no type that's brave enough to order mystery dust from chinese suppliers, but I've seen some amazing anecdotes from people with these peptides.
Thomas DeLauer admits to trying them out, MOTS-C looks groundbreaking, and retatrutide is actually INSANE.
we've seen it improve eGFR results in kidney disease patients. kidney disease is widely thought of to be chronic and always lead to eventual failure, with blood markers showing speed of progression, not improvement. so for reta to improve those markers is crazy. It has huge implications for the kidney transplant and dialysis industry.... and thats just one example!
There are actually a few self-experimentators on substack with paid newsletters showing anecdotal results with nutrition and peptides( exfatloss, etc) since people can't wait for modern science to catch up with these seemingly groundbreaking peptide compounds.
There seems to be a niche but growing audience for them so let us know definitely if you come out with any interesting thoughts on it
Lol mystery dust, true. These are all great. It’s stuff I geek out about as well and often find myself on weird parts of the internet like we all did 10 years ago.
I have a lot I can share and some great connections in the space that can help round out my thoughts if they’re incomplete.
It’s such a huge part of business and life in general.
Thanks for reading Laila and thank you for the comment. I’ll start to incorporate it :)
Knew you were into fitness, Dan, but didn’t realize you truly geeked out on it. I suspected that may be the case when you posted your 5 year transformation pic (really impressive by the way….I’ve been a fan of your writing and products for a few years, so when you posted that photo I felt more inspired to reach my fitness goals than I have in about 15 years obsessing about this stuff).
Thanks for sharing this, I also like to experiment risk:reward style, and am curious if you have recommended sources for these (disclaimer: I’m at work and haven’t checked your google doc yet)
I really like the proposed idea of 30 min walk between each 2hr blocks of deep work. There are a lot more to gain from this article and it is worth to read three times.
Hey Dan. I have a very strong and often very frustrating gripe with your work. With both your youtube videos and sometimes your writing pieces, I almost always 1/3 of the way in forget why I am watching/reading. You take (in my insignificant opinion) waaaaay to long to get to the actual value, of why i came here to watch or read of listen. I mostly end up giving up but sometimes i do go back and read the title to remember why i bothered to click.
I only say this because i believe in your work, I DO think there is great wisdom in what you share, and i think my constructive criticism will help you further your social media business. Your titles are great, they get me to click, but its getting to a point where i think - “ooo this sounds interesting I’ll click on i- oh wait, i always end up leaving midway, theres no point watching”
Maybe my attention span is the problem, but i seem to be able to watch other people’s educational/wisdom pilled content just fine. I can listen or watch a modern wisdom podcast or a 1hr 30+ alex hormozi stage lecture just fine.
Definitely talk more about nutrition stuff thanks!
On it🫡
Yes please!!

Any reputable recommendations for the Methylene Blue and SLU-PP-332 capsules?
Really good advice as usual, Dan. Thank you
Please write an article on overthinking. How to control on yourself through physical exercise. Thank you for writing such a great articles.

…and it’s all right there 😅

This new wave of longevity influencers is getting reckless. They mix clean-living talk with weekly chemical stacks and call it optimization.
I’m a medical doctor and founder in longevity tech, I love biohacking, but I also read the labs.
“Slightly elevated liver enzymes” means cells are dying.
No one,not Huberman, not you, not me knows the long-term cost of this trend.
Real longevity isn’t about gambling with biology. It’s about mastering it.

Dan you really are an omega jacked nerd. This is way out of left field and I love it.
Hell yes brother, keep writing about this.
You have a special skill, which is to make people interested in the things you're interested in. Use it :)
closed the article as soon as sam altmans quote came up, do you tech bros not have any connection to the real world?
Loved this 👏
I love how personal this letter is!
You really should do more of this, Dan.
Also, a YouTube channel dedicated to your fitness journey?
Hell yeah!
Nice one
it’s funny because some of the substances you mentioned are illegal where i live
