Wow, 85k for Sleep Science, Ketamine on Camera, My Investing Playbook, Diggnation, and a new Random Show

New food for thought, binge-worthy videos, and a podcast return that's pure nostalgia

Sep 09, 2024

Friends,

What a month it's been!

As promised, for those of you who upgraded to become paid members of this newsletter, 100% of your subscription revenue last month ($85k) has gone into funding a study designed by Dr. Matthew Walker with a goal to create a combination of antioxidants that can repair poor sleep damage (what—what study? watch our video here). Getting the study done will likely cost approximately $150k, and I'll be personally bridging the gap to get there—let's go!

If we find a therapeutic supplement, paying members of this newsletter will be on the list to beta-test the early formulations.

A quick note, there is a live Apple Event today at 10AM PT (new iPhone, Apple Watch, etc.). JOIN US IN CHAT for a live discussion as we watch the live stream.

The latest…

Diggnation is back

Diggnation, our old tech/beer/life commentary variety show podcast, is back! We've released our second episode and have recorded the third. Expect a new episode out every three weeks. And please, if you were a Diggnation fan in the past, tell your old crew that watched, and subscribe to our new feeds (YouTube, Insta, TikTok, Spotify) — all found on our new website www.diggnation.show

Ketamine - My On-Camera Experience with a Treatment That Could Reshape Mental Health Worldwide

A personal journey, and likely our most impactful piece this month, was my on-camera experience with ketamine therapy. In an in-depth conversation, Dr. Jennifer Ellice and I explored ketamine’s potential to reshape mental health treatment worldwide, discussing efficacy, risks/safety, and the science behind this controversial approach — full video.

Tim Ferriss and I took a deep dive into everything from ketamine therapy & AI breakthroughs to dating dilemmas and silent retreats. Packed with candid insights, health hacks, and hilarious anecdotes — full video.

My Supplement Stack

In this article, I share my supplement stack and the importance I place on quality and third-party testing. I discuss several trusted brands I rely on and break down my daily supplements, which include Vitamin D3, a multivitamin, Ubiquinol, collagen, fish oil, creatine, and protein. I also mention a longevity stack I've adopted featuring taurine, PQQ, and ergothioneine, as well as zinc lozenges I use for immune support. My choices are informed by conversations over the years with experts like Tim Ferriss, Dr. Peter Attia, and Dr. Rhonda Patrick — full article.
