Ben Greenfield on The Portal (w/ host Eric Weinstein), Ep.

Спорт

Eric sits down with leading fitness geek, guru, thinker and human guinea-pig Ben Greenfield to learn how one of the world's most highly regarded trainers and fitness experts cuts through the nightmare that is our medical literature.
The academic and medical literature in health and medicine is a disaster. Studies are performed and reported in non-standard and idiosyncratic ways which are then further distorted by a press often looking more for headlines and scoops than facts and rigor. In this episode we get to ask one of the most sought after fitness optimizers how ordinary people can better understand their own minds, brains and bodies in light of the cacophony of 'expert' opinion. Ben, here in his role of master pedagogue, gives detailed implementable answers as well as simple to follow priorities that sum up his years of study and training for the mere mortals who wish to better everything in their lives by tackling health at the fundamental level.

    Grounding works. Maybe some false claims floating around it, but it is certainly a good thing for anyone to do. It relieves muscle tension and promotes mental composure. Lots of things you'd think little of may have huge significance in the long run. Go try grounding sometime. Just stand as motionless and relaxed as you can barefoot on comfy soil for 20 mins.

    Definitely way above 90%. The entire biohacking approach to testing and micromanaging various biomarker levels this guy is advocating is not only fundamentally wrong, but dangerous. There's a good reason we have a system where doctors decide what tests to take and when. The nocebo effect causes real harm, unnecessary health interventions based on unnecessary tests cause harm, and more generally hypochondria causes psychological harm.

    I get what Eric was trying to do in his suggestion: get all these people in one room to see if they can come to a consensus such that future research can be guided into several directions. I do think there is bounty and truth in all this, but large empirical studies are required in order to get to the bottom of all this.

    My guess is that his desire won't come to fruition for the same kind of reason he concluded that self-driving cars won't come to fruition. He said self-driving cars won't come to fruition because the programmers can't bring themselves to program the car to plow into a baby carriage rather than a crowd of children if worse comes to worst...both because they don't want to hate themselves and because they don't want to get sued or imprisoned for making that programming decision. Likewise, if your toilet says "eat this, don't eat that" and you end up sick or dying, the toilet maker, for right or wrong, will end up on the hook. Humans want information to make decisions, but if the decision doesn't pan out or goes bust, they want to tack hides to the wall. Ergo, stagnation.

    Very confusing. As a software engineer I imagine I could create the same confusion if I started naming AI algorithms such as Markov Chains. I've met so many academics who hide behind esoteric vocabulary to appear smart and expert that it is hard to hold that prejudice back here. It is especially curious that the public communication is so convoluted when your guest runs a podcast and otherwise engages in public education? Being an expert is insufficient. Communication skills are a similar priority and those skills were lacking.

    He does the same in the book. Reason for it is pretty simple, I think. We don't know the true value behind any specific action or supplement when it comes to the direct impact on human health, especially when the person is already healthy. In his book he recommends hundreds of different processes and compounds but there is no existing consensus on which ones are the most beneficial per dollar spent.

    One of his staples to good health definitely should have been quality of sleep, which they discussed earlier, but failed to mention at the end. Sleeping in a cool environment definitely helps with repair, inflammation, swelling, heart rate, and blood pressure. Also, if you are a thicc boi, with a thicc neck and snore, you might want to have a sleep study done. Sleep apnea will obliterate your quality of sleep and throw your entire endocrine system out of wack. Losing weight doesn't always completely remedy apnea and snoring either. Also depends on your nasopharynx anatomy, adenoids, tonsils, uvula and general airway. Continuous positive airflow pressure (CPAP) can prevent a multitude of later-in-life issues, if you catch apnea early and work to improve your overall health.

    Absolutely no NYU doctors have ever discussed nutritional supplements or diet with me or with any of my friends who go there. In fact, a friend who is going to NYU for cancer treatments, has never, after three years, been asked what she is eatimg, or has suggested a nutrition plan. I, myself, pay out of pocket for a naturopathic doctor to advise me on the nutrients best for my body. NYU's rep is overblown, imo. (Also, NOT walking barefoot in NYC is a lot healthier than going barefoot.)

    Anyone else catch the dig at some of the more "fringe markers out there that you can track for longevity; let's say something like telomere length...." Ooooh.....gauntlet thrown Brett with your fringe science.....pretty boy says you deserve your place at Evergreen cast out of the system to float....alone....an interstellar exoplanet. Sorry I just had to try something to make this interesting. Not that I don't enjoy seeing a monotone exchange of ideas about shit, bile and cold water. Eric I draw the line at you having a Post Modernist on to discuss spirituality just in case you were considering that road. If you attempt a health segment in the future can we please hear from the other side of the experience? Have some dead people on to provide their perspective?

    @@stopper90004 That's pretty extreme. I'm pretty sure he genuinely believes they would know the person. He's just making too many assumptions. I don't think he's trying to show off. He just needs to say "do you know [X]?". I actually think it's the opposite of him trying to show off. I think he's likely trying not to patronize his guests or insult their intelligence, but in the process, he's overcorrecting.

    I've been thinking about this app store for health recommendation algorithms. You share all your data into something like Cronometer, FitnessSyncer, Google Health, or Apple Health, and then you can plug in various algorithms. It's very hard to bridge this gap of writing code for such an algorithm. In essence, we'd need people like Ben to have a great sort of "algorithm sandbox/development environment" to develop these algorithms. I am a software developer by trade, focusing on user interfaces. I'd love to work with anyone on this problem. Doesn't matter what you do. Honestly, I'd love to just talk with anyone about this challenge.
