10 personal practical takeaways from the first 10 summaries

New format for this one. Not summarizing a new episode this week…just reviewing learnings so far and writing about ways I’ve personally changed my behavior. Hope it’s helpful!

1. I eat more of a Mediterranean diet, in part for the benefits on brain health

2. I consume at least 1g EPA (from fish oil) daily for brain health, among many other benefits

3. New mindsets I’m working to adopt

   • Viewing healthy food as indulgent/delicious to help feel more full

   • Viewing stress as beneficial. I welcome it and recognize it is helping me achieve my goals

   • I don’t look at side effect lists. If I experience side effects, I view them as a signal the treatment is working.

4. I don’t look at my sleep wearable data if I slept like shit

5. I’ve stopped taking probiotics

6. I eat more kimichi and sauerkraut

7. I make sure I don’t accidentally fall asleep in the evening (e.g. while watching TV) since this messes with sleep pressure

8. I try to do at least one workout per week where I get to my max HR

9. If I workout in the morning, I do so fasted

10. I try to set a hard cutoff that I don’t eat past 8pm for sleep-fasting benefits
