    This week’s stories:

    Smartphone App Catches What Sleep Trackers Miss
    A 2026 trial found that suvorexant, a popular prescription sleep drug, improves sleep quality scores — but worsens morning alertness and cognitive function while improving afternoon and evening performance. The study used a smartphone app to pulse users throughout the day, revealing a split-time-of-day signal that traditional sleep scales miss entirely. Optimizing your sleep dashboard and optimizing your waking performance are not the same thing.

    Bats Are Breaking the Telomere Model
    A 2026 bioRxiv preprint on the tropical bat species Molossus molossus found that these animals live unusually long lives with almost no telomere shortening — challenging the assumption that telomere erosion is a universal driver of mammalian aging. Instead, the bats maintain genome integrity through superior DNA repair and oxidative stress management driven by the metabolic demands of flight. Telomere length may be a symptom, not the cause — and the longevity industry has been measuring the wrong thing.

    The Fenugreek Hack That Cuts Glucose Spikes by Up to 20%
    Soaking fenugreek seeds overnight and consuming them before meals has been shown across multiple small human trials to reduce fasting glucose and post-meal glucose spikes by 5 to 20 percent. The mechanism is dual — soluble galactomannan fibers slow carbohydrate absorption while bioactive compounds improve insulin receptor sensitivity in muscle and liver. It's a cheap, food-grade, CGM-trackable lever that most people have never tried.

    The First Longevity Supplement to Move Vascular Age Like Exercise
    A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial out of the University of Surrey found that a multi-ingredient longevity stack targeting NAD metabolism, glycation control, and mitochondrial function improved three independent vascular aging markers simultaneously in healthy adults over 40. Arterial stiffness improved by 1.18 meters per second — equivalent to reversing roughly a decade of age-related decline. Blood pressure dropped 6.1 millimeters of mercury, outperforming aerobic exercise, HIIT, the DASH diet, omega-3s, and magnesium in head-to-head comparisons.

    Carbon Monoxide Exposure Is Up 50% in 2026 — And Most People Won't Know Until It's Too Late
    Maryland state data reported by CBS News shows emergency room and urgent care visits for carbon monoxide exposure jumped from 167 cases in 2025 to 251 so far in 2026 — a nearly 50 percent increase. CO binds to hemoglobin more tightly than oxygen, quietly starving your brain, heart, and muscles while producing symptoms that mimic fatigue, brain fog, and the flu. The CDC estimates more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning every year — and most of them never saw it coming.

    Fat Plus Carbs Around Training May Actually Be the Metabolic Move
    A 2026 study found that combining fat with a carbohydrate-rich period during or around exercise improves insulin sensitivity and fat oxidation in the recovery phase — directly challenging the long-held "never stack fat and carbs" rule. The mechanism appears to be a mixed-fuel training effect: the liver and muscle learn to manage glucose and fat concurrently when both are present during high metabolic demand. Context changes the calculus, and the workout itself may be the variable that flips the equation.

  • The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

    AI Expert Says: Humans Are Just Mystical Meat Robots : 1429

    2026-03-10 | 57 mins.
    What if understanding how AI thinks could reveal uncomfortable truths about how your own brain works, and give you powerful tools to make smarter decisions, resist manipulation, and upgrade your cognition at the root level?

    -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR

    Host Dave Asprey sits down with Tom Griffiths, the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology, Consciousness, and Culture in the Departments of Psychology and Computer Science at Princeton University. Griffiths directs Princeton's Computational Cognitive Science Lab, a research group focused on understanding the mathematical foundations of human cognition, and the Princeton Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence. He is the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By and the author of the new book The Laws of Thought, and his award-winning research has appeared in Science, Nature, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

    Together, Dave and Tom go deep on the cognitive science behind human performance, brain optimization, and the surprising overlap between biohacking and artificial intelligence. They explore why your body filters reality before your conscious brain ever sees it, how your mitochondria function as a distributed cognitive network, and what that means for longevity, decision-making, and neuroplasticity.

    You'll Learn:
    Why AI models reveal that humans may be more "stochastic parrots" than we'd like to admit
    How your mitochondria pre-process sensory reality before your auditory cortex even fires
    Why emotions like anger, love, and remorse are computational tools evolution built into your reward function
    How low energy and blood sugar directly degrade your decision-making at a hardware level
    What "resource rationality" means and how to use it to make better decisions under constraint
    Why AI systems have measurable psychological personalities, and which ones are least likely to mess with your head
    How neuroplasticity can eliminate the inner critic and reshape your mental operating system
    Why two-process cognition (fast and slow thinking) is a feature, not a bug, of human intelligence

    WW3 Doomscrolling, 5 Minute Sleep Hack, Diet Wars, Dopamine Supplements : 1427

    2026-03-06 | 11 mins.
    This week’s stories:

    Healthy Diets That Offset "Bad Genes"
    A major UK Biobank study of over 100,000 people found that following any one of five healthy dietary patterns was associated with up to 3 extra years of life — and the benefit held regardless of genetic predisposition to longevity. Your DNA is not an excuse. The macro pattern matters more than the perfect protocol.

    Micro-Habits in Sleep, Activity, and Diet That Extend Life
    Researchers built a composite "SPAN" score combining sleep, movement, sedentary time, and diet quality and found that small improvements across all four — we're talking minutes per day — cut mortality risk by up to 64% when stacked together. The gains only showed up when behaviors improved in combination, not in isolation.

    Methionine and Cysteine Restriction: The Diet That Mimics Cold Exposure
    New research shows that reducing sulfur amino acids — methionine and cysteine, found heavily in certain animal proteins — triggers fat browning and thermogenesis in mice, mimicking the metabolic effects of cold exposure without the cold. Supporting human data from Nature Metabolism suggests this lever works in people too

    Tyrosine and Lifespan: What the Data Says for Men
    A Mendelian randomization analysis of over 270,000 UK Biobank participants found that genetically higher tyrosine levels were associated with nearly one year shorter lifespan in men — with no significant effect in women. This reflects lifelong endogenous levels, not short-term supplementation, but it's a signal worth understanding if you're using tyrosine strategically

    War Doomscrolling and WW3 Anxiety as a Stealth Aging Accelerator
    Compulsive consumption of conflict and war news is linked to PTSD-like symptoms, existential anxiety, and chronic stress — even in civilians far from any battlefield. Layered on top of cardiology data connecting chronic stress to heart disease and stroke, your news diet is now a legitimate healthspan variable. Subtractive biohacking is still biohacking.
