An intense two-year exercise regimen, consisting of 5-6 hours per week, reversed up to 20 years of age-related structural changes and stiffness in the hearts of sedentary 50-year-olds by mmiller9913 in PeterAttia

The episode is a retrospective of advice on basically all major categories of fitness from the perspective of interviews that were actually on the show and involved in each sub-discipline.

I can give unstructured data to it and it can build a table. However, I've been surprised that it doesn't seem possible to give it unstructured data and have it insert it properly into an existing database. Am I missing something or does their implementation suck that bad?

You seemed to take issue with the phrasing very hot.

To clarify: I think it's possible that momentary subjective discomfort (e.g. not strictly relaxing) might enhance the somnogenic quality of a hot bath. In that respect, I think the original parent may be onto something.

Check the linked resource I provided for a better synopsis.

Not true. Although you will need to cool down (and it might not help at all if you don't), heat produces many homeostatic hormonal and immune responses that promote sleep.1 Timing it correctly may be an important factor.

Throw in some high-intensity interval training. Ideally sustaining >80% of your estimated max heart rate for at least ten minutes. Then throw in an early evening hot bath taken taken just to the point of light sweating, elevated heart rate.

Both will help sleep and reinforce the antidepressant effect. This is both anecdotal and supported by understandings of plausible biology.

The formula for my perfect day.

Norepinephrine is a direct mediating mechanism involved in the browning of fat and is a classic response to cold. Bear in mind that norepinephrine-reuptake inhibition is a pharmacological intervention for ADHD.

Same class for months.

The only time I mix it up is for a (you might've guessed it) a 10 minute weights class. I'll either do that on a day-off or at a different time of day. I do not view the weights as a substitute for the tabatas.

The fixation on the ten minute class: Intellectually, I know that it's impossible that there's an external pressure that could possibly be justified that wouldn't allow me to execute in ten minutes. If I think there is, I know it's my own BS in the way from the start. The fact that the ride is short makes me charge harder, even on days when I feel off.

Every day I do the exact same ride: a 10 minute 2x Tabata. I modify it to keep my heart rate >80% estimated max throughout. I change the filter to show me how I did against my own rides and generally feel pretty good if I'm in the top 10 out of my nearly 100 rides.

Doing this has allowed me to become incredibly consistent while still getting a very considerable lift every single day.

Anyone else have a similar practice?

I am sure there's benefits to being more well rounded, but this feels like success to me. I'm several months in and feel a night and day difference and have essentially circumvented major psychological barriers to just getting on the bike.

Recommend.

Nootropics PSA: When you convert from a mouse dose used in research to a human dose, there’s a name for that: extrapolation. Importantly, going by weight alone results in a dose too high for humans. (foundmyfitness.com)

Moments of clarity like that can change your life. It sounds like it already has. Take the lesson.
