All protocols
5,340 protocols across every category, most recommended first.
- ▶ 1ToolsIncandescent Desk Lamp
Use a 40-watt incandescent desk lamp to supplement indoor LED environments; discussed in a workplace study where desk lamps improved color perception.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse an Incandescent Desk Lamp Without Looking Directly at It
Place a 40-watt incandescent desk lamp on the desk and simply work around it; direct staring is not required.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse Long-Wavelength Light Devices to Offset LED Exposure
If not getting outside enough or working in LED-rich environments, supplement with long-wavelength light exposure from a device. Host says he personally does this early in the day and sometimes closes his eyes for portions of the session based on comfort.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsReduce Close Screen Work in Children
Limit close-up screen work in kids and increase reading/viewing distance; avoid excessive close work within about a foot or two because close work plus screens is linked to myopia risk.
- ▶ 1ToolsDimmer Switch for Halogen or Incandescent Lighting
Use a dimmer switch with incandescent or halogen bulbs; dimming increases infrared output relative to visible brightness, extends bulb life, and can reduce circadian disruption in the evening.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsDim Incandescent or Halogen Bulbs
Dim incandescent or halogen bulbs to preserve infrared output while reducing visible brightness; this may help bulbs last longer and, in the evening, may avoid melatonin disruption. A dimmed halogen lamp can also be used in the evening without strongly disrupting circadian rhythm.
- ▶ 1ToolsWindows in Classrooms
Classrooms should have windows to support healthier light exposure for children.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsAvoid Tinted Windows
Avoid tinted windows, including in classrooms, because they reduce beneficial light exposure and block helpful wavelengths when possible.
- ▶ 1ToolsIncandescent Lights in Classrooms
Add some incandescent lights in classrooms as a strategy to improve the light environment for children.
- ▶ 1ToolsCandlelight
Use candlelight as a low-cost source of long-wavelength light in the evening. An odorless pure beeswax candle can be used safely, such as while reading.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse Candlelight While Reading in the Evening
Use a safe candle at the desk or nightstand while reading in the evening to add some long-wavelength light.
- ▶ 1ToolsHalogen Lamp
Use a halogen lamp as a low-cost indoor source of more balanced, full-spectrum light. Keep one in a kitchen or other morning-use area for early-day light exposure.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsUse a Halogen Lamp in the Morning
Turn on a halogen lamp during the morning, especially during the first 45 minutes after getting up, to provide balanced light at a critical time of day.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsDeadlifts
Highlighted as a marker of impressive strength and capability in later life; example given was deadlifting more than 200 pounds, over twice body weight.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsBench Press Body Weight for Three Reps
Specific strength standard mentioned: bench press your body weight for three clean repetitions; framed as a meaningful benchmark in serious weight training.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsBoxing
Presented as a way to keep movement and reflexes sharp; also described as excellent training for coordination, stamina, punch power, grounding, and willingness to absorb challenge.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsClassical Ballet Training
Recommended as foundational movement training before other forms; framed as the best way to learn how the body moves in space and build a reference system for movement.
- ▶ 1DietEat Three Hard-Boiled Eggs After Training
Post-workout meal example tied to a 5 a.m. gym routine; specifically three hard-boiled eggs after training.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsRun Stairs Backward
Recommended from boxing training; described as a very good training method.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsSpeed Bag Work
Recommended for visual coordination; involves near-far vision and switching from peripheral to central vision.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsDo Gymnastics-Like Movement Training
Raised as a broad educational movement model and valued for courage, center, and willingness to throw oneself through space.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsPractice Group Social Dance
Examples given include ballroom or square dance; valued because it teaches rules, traffic patterns, and social coordination.
- ▶ 1DietEat Raw Meat
Personal dietary practice mentioned in the context of minimal cooking: eating meat raw.
- ▶ 1DietEat Raw Vegetables
Personal dietary practice mentioned in the context of minimal cooking: eating vegetables raw.
- ▶ 1DietWhole Foods Staples: Meat, Fish, Fruit, and Vegetables
Staple foods in the discussed dietary pattern; these foods are presented as the core whole-food categories rather than separate standalone recommendations.
- ▶ 1DietAvoid Deli Meats
Deli meats are described as probably not great for health and characterized as terrible.
- ▶ 1ToolsUse Incandescent Light Instead of White LEDs
Prefer candles or incandescent lighting over white LED light; host specifically states incandescents are better than LEDs.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsMove More
Repeated emphatically as a takeaway for preserving nervous system function and aging better; also includes resisting the tendency with age to recede, reach out less, pull up short of boundaries, or avoid pushback.
- ▶ 1BehaviorsReduce Stress to Help Prevent or Potentially Reverse Hair Graying
Increasing stress may accelerate hair graying, and reducing stress may temporarily reverse it.
- ▶ 1DietHydration and Electrolytes During Illness
Maintain hydration and keep electrolytes up during illness; also follow appetite.
