It supports brain health, muscle recovery, and even metabolism, making it a simple, safe, and cost-effective addition to nearly anyone’s daily routine.
I take creatine daily. NEVER trust supplements from SCAMazon. Full of fakes with who knows what inside. Buy direct or don't bother.
Lloyd Blankfein has been with Goldman Sachs since 1982, so he has had the unfortunate opportunity to experience several financial crises. Many people shiver at the thought of the next crisis, and while Lloyd doesn't wish for another one, he sees them as an opportunity to test his protocols in risk management and leadership — all of which haven't failed him yet. BONUS CONTENT: Lloyd also offers his perspective on AI through the lens of a tenured investor
This episode is basically a rundown on how to actually optimize testosterone and hormone health as a guy, without just jumping straight to TRT. Dr. Kyle Gillett covers everything from what blood tests actually matter, to diet stuff like dairy and fiber, supplements like creatine and Tongkat Ali, all the way to actual testosterone therapy dosing and hair loss treatments
Taking 1,000mg of melatonin every night sounds crazy. But what's even crazier is that graduate researcher Richard (@PGC1a_RB) isn't even doing this because he needs help sleeping. It is simply one of his many self-experiments that help him understand the subjective benefits of a drug or supplement outside of its primary application. Along with the results from his various experiments, Richard also shares his top five life protocols and gives advice on how to spot a phony health influencer

Lloyd has long been known for being calm in crisis, a quality he recently demonstrated at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner during the active shooter incident
People at his table dove under the table, which was sensible in that situation, but he stayed seated and asked “Are you going to finish your ?????”
“In moments of crisis like that, I always try to be ??????????”
Hire board members who have already survived a ??????
He will never say “I already know about that” to someone bringing him information, he doesn’t want people to ???? ??????? in the future
Become a “complete person” early by trying a range of activities, learning humanities and history, and living interesting experiences so you become an interesting person people want to back
Diet and exercise are the two biggest levers for hormones across your entire life
Do not randomly cut ????? in puberty, it can mess with IGF‑1 which helps growth, bones, skin and hair
????? is huge because it sets your gut microbiome baseline for basically the rest of your life
If you’re carrying extra fat, cutting calories the right way can help hormones long term, but if you’re already lean and cut hard, ?????????????? usually goes down
Growth hormone and IGF‑1 drop, SHBG goes up, free androgens go down
3 to 4 hard training sessions a week is sustainable long term, but training vigorously past an hour regularly is not doing your hormones any favors
Track supplements, when you received your variable, how long it took for effects to appear and what you felt
Report results privately in a diary or publicly on X/??????
At 1,000mg of ????????? Richard now has about four memorable dreams per night
Being able to remember dreams is a sign of a healthy brain
Top 5 health protocols:
Make circadian health a priority, get natural light early, reduce light at night
Tune nutritional timing, eat more of your calories in the first half of the day, your body needs energy for the day not right before bed
Stay moving with low intensity work like walks or bodyweight squats, a walk after eating can have similar blood sugar effects as ????????
Do not forgo socialization, humans need face‑to‑face interaction, a positive interaction can feel “healing”
Have an open mind, listen to competing perspectives, be skeptical without being scared

If you’re willing to spend $100,000 a year on tokens, you can basically live like you’re a normal citizen in 2028
Token costs are coming down, compute is going way up
He thinks there could be like 90,000x the amount of inference from now to 3 years from now
Naval lays out several theories for why open source Chinese models are catching up so fast
China does its own pretraining with looser copyright constraints, crawling more of the open web
They’re distilling US models by mass querying them, something Naval says is hypocritical for Anthropic to complain about since Anthropic itself distilled the open web
Cheap resold API access to things like Claude Max accounts lets distillation happen at scale despite KYC rules
Genuine algorithmic breakthroughs like DeepSeek’s R1, driven by a huge concentration of Chinese mathematicians and researchers in US labs
Weak security at AI labs means weights are probably already getting hacked and leaked
Garry says the most significant current unlock isn’t abstract superintelligence, it’s practical: a 1 million token context window means an AI agent can already process something like three Harry Potter books’ worth of information at once, way more than a human “monkey brain” holding 7 items plus or minus 3
Any CEO right now could have an AI evaluate the entire company and identify exactly which 20% of employees to cut, but almost nobody actually does it
The US realistically can’t defend Taiwan
Aircraft carriers vulnerable to Chinese land-based missiles
DJI drones effectively the world’s largest defense contractor
Most Taiwanese people don’t actually want to fight
Rich families dodge the draft by keeping kids abroad
Taiwan’s second largest political party is pro-China
Naval predicts slow multi-generational reunification, similar to Hong Kong, rather than open conflict
Naval doesn’t want UBI, he wants UBR, “universal basic robot,” where everyone gets a robot to cook and clean for them
He connects this to demographic pressure: boomers retiring with too few younger workers to support them is driving immigration and taxation fights, and robotics could relieve that pressure
He estimates robotics optimists say two to three years away, skeptics say five to ten, but nobody thinks it’s impossible
