Examine.com dosing guidance discussed; Huberman takes 50 mg/day.
Sulforaphane, found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, enhances phase 2 liver detoxification — the process that prepares toxins including BPAs, BPSs, and microplastic-associated chemicals for excretion. The bioactive dose from rodent studies translates to amounts attainable from raw broccoli, but Huberman chose to supplement with 50 mg/day.
Based on rodent studies translated by examine.com, the bioactive human dose of sulforaphane for a 200-pound person is approximately 1.5 to 7.2 milligrams — attainable through raw cruciferous vegetables.
Despite predictions that AI would eliminate radiologists, the Mayo Clinic's radiology staff grew 55% after AI arrived at reading scans.
In 2025, radiology was the second-highest paid medical specialty in America, with average incomes 48% higher than a decade ago.
A study across 3 hospitals found radiologists spent only 36% of their time reading scans — the part AI can do — with the rest being human judgment.
Robert Greene notes that one in six Americans is on some form of drug to deal with depression, suggesting a deep societal disconnection from meaningful experience.
Spencer Greenberg and Jeremy Stevenson analyzed almost 500 self-improvement techniques and found they all reduce to just 12 underlying psychological drivers.
Cold exposure has good short-term alertness benefits but the evidence base for long-term health benefits is much weaker than popularly believed.
In a randomized study of 20 habit-formation techniques run on hundreds of people, almost none of the techniques produced statistically meaningful results.
People given a tiny-habit fallback option (e.g. 10 squats instead of gym) were actually MORE successful at completing the full habit, not less.
The most effective habit-formation technique was 'habit reflection' — recalling a past successful habit, writing down what helped, then applying those lessons to a new habit.
