Juliet and I are back from a long stretch of travel with a lot to get into. I was inducted into the Best Hour of Their Day Hall of Fame at Affiliate Con in Dallas, but the bigger honor is being in a class that includes our late friend Rob Orlando, who brought strongman training into the modern gym.
Juliet wants everyone to run, not walk, to the theater for the new Elizabeth Holmes documentary, You Can See Everything. She's not wrong.
This week's actual science: we met Rob Leon at The Assembly, whose father is a neurobiologist at UC Irvine, and they're building a product around the connection between smell and brain health. The research on smell loss as a dementia predictor is genuinely surprising.
We also break down the first real study out of California's later school start time law. The results are clear, and the math on what it means for how much sleep kids get is worth knowing.
Plus Weird Longevity Shit, BFR recovery shorts, and some book sequels I've been waiting for.
What You'll Learn in This Episode- Why smell loss may be one of the most undervalued brain health indicators
- What a new study found when they measured California's later school start time law
- The math on how much extra sleep teenagers gained (and why it adds up fast)
- The strongman training legacy of Rob Orlando
- Bryan Johnson's "GLP Brian" and what our crew thinks of it
- How BFR recovery shorts work as a travel-friendly recovery tool
