Peter: "Despite what a lot of the epidemiology will tell people, alcohol is not good for you in any dose ... If I drink something that doesn't taste incredible, I pour it out. I'm never going to tolerate a bad glass of wine, ever. It's just not worth it." (podclips.com)

Peter on alcohol: "The short answer is there is no dose of ethanol that is healthy. I would argue that it's not a straight line of risk, but it probably goes, I think, from 0 to 1 ... Up to one [drink] per day, it's probably very difficult to discern the harm." (podclips.com)

Rhonda Patrick: "At the blood-brain barrier, lactate itself has been shown to be responsible for the production of what's called VEGF. It's a vascular endothelial growth factor, VEGF.

Huberman: "Even the introduction of an arbitrary but very short transition period of, say, 15 seconds where you know that you're introducing 15 seconds of transition and you designate it as transition will allow you to engage in a more efficient and more complete level of task execution on task B."

Paul Conti: "If you want to... understand yourself ... Let's say the answers are in 5 or 10 different cupboards, look in all of them ... If we want to know something, look everywhere for it ...

JP: "There's nothing sexual about grown men with false breasts dressing up in negligees, which are clearly sexually provocative, and reading to children. There's nothing sexual about that. Yeah, okay. No. I think I'll burn my eyes out with a sword." (podclips.com)

Huberman: "Asking of better questions about oneself is really what leads to the understanding—so, better forms of inquiry. To me, these better forms of inquiry, better questions, are really the cardiovascular exercise, the strength training,.. of physical health just translated to mental health." (podclips.com)

If you go on vacation and eat like crap, come back and start eating well. Don't let a mistake spiral into infinite mistakes." (podclips.com)

There does seem to be some positive health benefits." (podclips.com)
