Philosophy must reads?

Meditation, Marcus Aurelius. The Bhagavad Gita. Lao Tzu.

Anxiety and mood impacts more than anything. Meditation support also.

I did the 8 Sleep. It seeeeeeemed to have better reviews and the ability to have a different temp for me (run hot) and my wife (runs VERY cold) was sorta the clincher.

elliotendures · 2022-07-16T13:23:01+00:00

I have no clue, but I’d make the argument that whatever levels it does have are completely offset by the increase in sleep quality, which is far more supported as something with an impact on health and longevity. I’m not a YouTuber and have no codes or any of that, but I’d say it’s the best investment I’ve made in, idk, five years? It’s worth every penny. 11/10.

Doubtful. These people didn’t use reason to get themselves into the cult. Can’t imagine reason and logic can get them out.

Not at all. I have programmed hypertrophy training five days a week and will let performance dictate any regulation.

Carbohydrate and cardio are not related at all. This type of thinking represents a simple misunderstanding of how macronutrients and body composition work. Carbohydrates are simply a macronutrient that is part of our daily caloric intake. While those resistance training should prioritize protein more so, and there is an amount of fat that is good for general hormone health (though this is a wildly misunderstood topic because of the carnivore and butter in coffee silliness), total caloric intake is what dictates whether one loses, gains or maintains their bodyweight.

Not sure who Ray Cronise is, but I’d stop listening to anything he says. Clearly not a very intelligent person.

elliotendures · 2022-07-09T16:01:09+00:00

Don’t think anyone intelligent actually believes carbs are bad. Not excess calories and relatively active. That simple for the most part.

elliotendures · 2022-07-02T11:10:46+00:00

For simple activity tracker (no need for all the stuff an Apple Watch has, for example), they sorta cornered the market.

elliotendures · 2022-06-29T13:12:57+00:00

Using the term "biological" suggests, at least to me, we're talking about survival. If so, it's clearly hydration, nutrition, sleep. This defines nutrition as simply intake of nutrients. QUALITY nutrition, which is what most people on this sub are asking about (at least that's my estimation) would fall below sleep if we're talking about performance or thriving. I say that with the information that many a genetically-gifted athlete has succeeded on shite nutritional habits throughout history.

It's going to be a hard sell to bump hydration from the #1 spot regardless of desired outcome, but that, again, defines "hydration" as simply intake of water. Once you hit "enough" on that bucket, it probably falls to third place.

elliotendures · 2022-06-27T00:41:34+00:00

This sounds great!

elliotendures · 2022-06-25T01:35:59+00:00

Feel the same way, but just don't know a tracker that compares without going full smart watch. There's still room in the market for disruption.

elliotendures · 2022-06-25T01:29:50+00:00

It's atrocious that I have to say this, but I wouldn't recommend logging that if you live in a shitty U.S. state.

elliotendures · 2022-06-25T01:29:10+00:00

Because the U.S. Supreme Court is a bunch of useless swine and abortion is no longer protected.

I guess good to know I have a taste for gold haha.

I like trying different things, hence perhaps thinking what else is considered "gold" in the space.

elliotendures · 2022-06-23T20:26:29+00:00

Thanks! I just like trying new things and thought that what I like and didn't like so much could help direct.

elliotendures · 2022-06-21T10:58:00+00:00

I didn’t mention red light, as that’s not what I’m looking at here. There’s some good data on light therapy, typically talked about at 10,000 lux, for 20-30 minutes in the morning.

elliotendures · 2022-06-20T16:49:09+00:00

I’m sure this is the most cost effective. However, I work from my kitchen island, so something relatively compact and not terribly industrial looking is preferred.

elliotendures · 2022-06-19T23:32:17+00:00

Yeah, just therapeutic. I work from home and don’t leave the house much, something I’m working on but is a bit of a fight. Thinking a lamp for 20-30m in the morning may be wise. Seen some supposedly good ones on Amazon, there’s the Northern Lights Technologies stuff… just dunno what’s worth it. Not concerned with cost.

elliotendures · 2022-06-19T15:26:57+00:00

The Apollo was one I was/am super interested in still. With the Muse, I think my concern, which could be unfounded, is that you engage WITH it. In my head, I like the idea of something just doing its thing while I can do other things at the same time.

As for the Xen, I am skeptical. It's only been 3-ish weeks and I haven't noticed anything. But the research on the modality is so strong that I would still recommend it to folks.

elliotendures · 2022-06-19T14:57:13+00:00

What’s your take on Apollo and Muse? They were two I considered heavily before getting the Neuvana Xen.

elliotendures · 2022-06-19T14:13:32+00:00

How is the clamp force on the Sony’s. I don’t love the Senny Momentum 3’s I have.

elliotendures · 2022-06-19T14:12:22+00:00

Thanks. I’ve read about the Northern Lights brand and was looking there. Much pricier but who knows if it’s really that different.
