Autobiography of a Yogi

If you haven't already, read: Tripping Over the Truth... It is a great review of the history of Cancer. It concludes that the reason for the failed war against cancer stems from a flawed paradigm that categorizes cancer as an exclusively genetic disease and explores therapies born from the emerging metabolic theory of cancer.

Great tips in the episode and notes ranging from practical to sci-fi like tDCS, wet suits & rocking beds. Practical: Maintaining a dark, cold room in the 60s, appropriate timing for your chronotype, avoiding light at night/getting bright light early. Watch ep. & get Matt's book!

There are a few times in life when you read a new book and realize that your life will be transformed if you follow its teachings. Peter Attia's Outlive is such a book. It can save, or at a minimum massively improve, your life. I can't imagine a better investment for 28 bucks.

He wrote a beautiful book called The Circadian Code... really strongly pointed to the fact that liver health, brain health, metabolic factors and endocrine factors... all seem to benefit from having a period of each 24 hour day in which we are not eating anything.

Williams and Penman suggest a variety of quick and easy ways to practice mindfulness, including taking something we've placed on autopilot — brushing our teeth, drinking our morning coffee — and putting it back on the list of things we pay attention to.
