sauna is great
everything you need to know...
0. sauna is a top longevity therapy
1. dry sauna is best
2. wet & Infrared saunas lack longevity evidence
3. aim to do 4-7 sessions per week
4. the body takes time to acclimate to sauna
5. expect sleep & HRV to be wrecked in first 2 weeks
6. after workouts is ideal
7. avoid polyester clothing & towels
8. wear as little as possible & 100% cotton
9. heat wrecks male fertility
10. men should ice their balls
11. women don’t need ice
12. wear a sauna hat to avoid hair/scalp irritation
13. 11 min @ 176°F (80ºC) is when benefits start
14. 20 min @ 195°F (90.5ºC) is ideal
15. pro move: core body temp to 102.2°F (39ºC)
16. this takes me 34 minutes @ 200°F (93ºC)
17. be careful, that’s hot as hell & not necessary
18. don’t cold plunge after
19. never sauna dehydrated
20. drink electrolytes before and after
21. sauna’s good for muscle recovery
22. it may remove microplastics from body
23. don’t water rocks, avoid aerosolizing contaminants
24. measure the air quality in your sauna (if you can)
25. remove potentially toxic materials from your sauna
26. sauna with a friend creates joy

The physical commitment he had to this song has always made me like it more. I don’t think we will see anything like this again.

The man who proved your phone's safety standard is wrong worked for NASA.
W. Ross Adey.
UCLA Brain Research Institute. Then Loma Linda. 400+ papers.
NASA built his lab's biotelemetry into the Apollo program. The EEG of Lovell and Borman in orbit was Adey's tech.
In the mid-1970s, 20 years before the FCC set its safety standard, Adey proved the assumption it would rest on was wrong.
With Suzanne Bawin he showed that Radiofrequency radiation at "non-thermal" levels, too weak to heat tissue, could still drive calcium ions out of brain tissue.
But only inside a window.
Specific intensities.
Specific modulation frequencies.
Peak effect at 16 Hz, right in the EEG band.
Crank the power higher? Effect disappears.
Use an unmodulated carrier? Effect disappears.
This is the Adey window.
It is why FCC safety limits are useless.
The FCC measures average power. Adey proved power alone isn't the variable. Modulation matters. Frequency matters. The window matters.
He testified to Congress in 1980s, warning that the safety standard rested on a biology the science had already moved past.
Congress thanked him. The standard got written anyway.
Adey died in 2004. The Adey window is in physics journals and out of every regulatory document.
The FCC's RF exposure rules were adopted August 1, 1996, built on an engineering standard from 1992. They have not been updated in 30 years.
In 2021 a federal court, the DC Circuit, ruled that the FCC's RF guidelines were arbitrary and capricious.
The court said the agency had ignored exactly the things Adey proved mattered. Non-thermal effects. Modulation. Children. Long-term exposure.
The FCC was ordered to fix it.
It hasn't.
Three generations of kids have grown up inside the window Adey warned about.
The fourth is being born this year.

Bonus points if you get your blood checked.
Start here, it will change your life.

Civilization and almost all human progress have been created by a talented few for the benefit of the many.
The key to sustaining this is maintaining the conditions that allow exceptional individuals to arise and excel.
Only then is the dysfunction of the average safely diluted and rendered non-lethal to themselves and everyone else.
Most find this reality hard to accept.

Once the technology is ready, they’ll launch another ‘Cash for Clunkers’ program.
If that fails to move enough vehicles, they’ll pressure automakers to accelerate the obsolescence of pre-2027 models.

Name one thing WiFi does better than Ethernet.
I'll wait.
Not speed. Ethernet is faster.
Not reliability. Ethernet never drops.
Not security. Ethernet needs physical access.
Not health. Ethernet emits no RF.
The only thing WiFi has is convenience.
And that convenience is irradiating your family 24/7.

I can't love this post enough.
The year is 1950. Your doctor lights a cigarette and tells you smoking is fine. He read it in a study. He is telling the truth about having read it. He does not know, or is not saying, that the study was funded by the tobacco industry.
The year is 1958. Your doctor tells you to eat less fat. The evidence is contested. The contestation is not in the public messaging. The food industry has been helpful in clarifying which findings deserve attention. Some researchers who published contradictory data have been quietly defunded. Ancel Keys is on the cover of Time magazine.
The year is 1962. Your doctor prescribes thalidomide to your pregnant wife for morning sickness. It has been approved. The FDA gave it the green light in Europe. Twelve thousand children will be born with severe limb malformations before anyone in an official capacity acknowledges the problem. The families are told the drug was safe. The drug was approved. Both of these things remain true.
The year is 1972. Your doctor prescribes Valium. Britain is in the grip of a benzodiazepine wave that will last two decades. The dependency risk is known internally. It is not shared. Your doctor is not lying to you. He was not told either.
The year is 1999. Your doctor prescribes Vioxx for your arthritis. It is newer than ibuprofen, well-tolerated, and Merck has a study showing it works. Merck also has internal data suggesting it roughly doubles the risk of heart attack. This data will not reach your doctor for four more years. Fifty thousand people are estimated to have died in the interim. Merck eventually settles for 4.85 billion dollars. No criminal charges are brought.
The year is 2002. Your doctor prescribes OxyContin. Purdue Pharma trained its sales representatives to tell doctors the addiction risk was less than one percent. That figure came from a letter, not a study. The letter was about patients with terminal cancer on short-term doses in hospital settings. Your doctor is a GP with a patient who has a bad back. Nobody draws a distinction. Nobody is required to.
The year is 2008. Your doctor checks your cholesterol. Your LDL is elevated. You are prescribed a statin. Nobody mentions that the number needed to treat for primary prevention is approximately 250. Nobody mentions that the muscle deterioration you'll notice over the next two years is listed as a rare side effect rather than a documented pattern affecting a meaningful percentage of patients. The trial that informed the prescription was funded by the manufacturer.
Now it is today.
Your doctor has new guidelines. New studies. New consensus.
He is confident.
He has always been confident.
The confidence has never been the problem.
The confidence is, in fact, precisely the problem.

Nobody has ever given a full-throated sales pitch for a tin of sardines. That is a market gap.
Allow me.
The tin is food-grade steel, lined, sealed, oxygen removed. The environment inside is more controlled than most restaurant kitchens you have eaten in happily and without incident.
No preservatives. Canning is heat and the absence of oxygen. Just the fish, suspended exactly as they were the day the boat came in.
The omega-3s survive it. Studies comparing fresh to tinned show no meaningful difference in EPA and DHA. The fish was caught, canned within hours, and the fatty acids went nowhere.
The bones are edible. They have been sitting in olive oil long enough to become soft, and they are the calcium delivery mechanism the sardine built for itself. You eat them. That is the intended use.
What the tin actually contains: EPA and DHA in immediately usable form. Selenium, iodine, B12, CoQ10, vitamin D, calcium, complete protein with every essential amino acid.
Your protein shake has twenty-three ingredients. The sardine grew its own nutrition in the North Atlantic and asked for nothing.
A food humans have eaten since before written history now apparently requires a defence.
Buy the tin.

A 5G tower at an elementary school in California has been shut down after multiple students and teachers were diagnosed with cancer. The data is starting to catch up with the marketing. A 2022 review found that 74% of studies showed negative health effects near these towers.
DNA Damage: RF radiation creates micronuclei in the blood—a marker for cancer. We are essentially living in a microwave.
The Blood-Brain Barrier: RFK Jr. has warned for years that 5G disrupts the very shield that protects our brains from toxins.
The Profit over People: Why are these towers near schools? Because the industry prioritizes signal strength over biological safety.
