Bartlett demonstrates Wispr Flow live on camera, posting to a Slack channel and composing an email by voice, showcasing the product's claim to be four times faster than typing. He then transitions to Function Health, explaining that a single blood draw unlocks over 160 lab results covering hormones, inflammation, toxins, and cardiovascular markers, with an AI query layer on top. Bartlett says he and team members use it personally. The membership costs $365 per year with a $25 discount using code DOAC25.
Poirier has never been a casual drinker — when he drinks, he drinks until the bottle is gone. He envies people who can stop at two. After the arrest and a conversation with his wife, he's made the definitive decision: alcohol is out of his life permanently, because it has never benefited him and he refuses to replicate his father's legacy.
After posting an apology on Instagram, Poirier deleted all social media apps from his phone and has not returned to any platform since Father's Day.
Poirier met his wife Jolie in middle school. She dropped out of college — nursing school — and moved from Louisiana to South Florida so he could train and chase the UFC title. Poirier says he doesn't think he would have made it to where he did without her as an anchor. Coming home after the arrest and facing her was one of the hardest parts.
Making the first hour of your day high-cortisol and the last hour low-cortisol is described as the single most impactful daily habit for mood, focus, alertness, stress resilience, and sleep quality.
A Washington University in St. Louis study found that a great night's sleep produces attention-improvement effects effectively equal to Ritalin.
In the 4 to 6 hours after exercise, dopamine and norepinephrine are elevated, making you more alert and better able to focus — unless you've exercised to exhaustion.
The physiological sigh — two big inhales followed by a full exhale — was discovered by physiologists in the 1930s and is the fastest way to reduce autonomic arousal.
Doing just 10 deliberate exhales throughout the day can significantly elevate heart rate variability by the evening, by repeatedly activating the vagal sinoatrial node pathway.
For nicotine to have a genuine cognitive-enhancing effect rather than merely rescuing withdrawal deficit, Huberman recommends using it only once or twice per week at 3–6 mg.
Because vaping can be done anywhere and is more palatable, people consume far more nicotine via vaping than they ever did smoking, potentially making vaping more dangerous in aggregate despite being safer per puff.
Huberman reported that two injections of approximately 100–200 micrograms of BPC-157 eliminated persistent shoulder pain that had resisted months of other interventions.
Huberman reported that on nights he used the peptide pinealon, he achieved 2.5 to 3 hours of REM sleep inside 6 hours — an unusually high proportion normally only found in the final hours of longer sleep.
