Men who treat it as a health signal get a chance to fix the cause early.
Growth hormone: the youth hormone that may not lengthen life
Clinics offer growth hormone and drugs that release it to restore youthful muscle and skin, and Kyle Gillett and Craig Koniver describe using them, yet David Sinclair notes that lower growth signaling goes with longer life and Huberman lists the risks of injecting it. The contrast shows why feeling younger and living longer are not always the same goal.

Jason Fung calls type 2 diabetes a problem of too much sugar stored in the body, Peter Attia describes the factors behind it and cases of remission, and Casey Means explains the early blood markers.

Is fruit a problem? Fructose, fiber and the fatty liver question
Robert Lustig and the Means siblings single out fructose as uniquely harmful to the liver, yet Jason Fung, Peter Attia and David Sinclair each draw a different line between whole fruit, juice and added sugar. Sorting out their positions tells readers what to cut and what to keep eating.
Use it or lose it: novelty and mental challenge protect the aging brain
Tommy Wood, Mark D'Esposito, Alan Castel and Charan Ranganath all say the brain stays adaptable when it keeps meeting new and demanding tasks, and that routine alone lets it slide. This gives people a second lever against cognitive decline that works alongside exercise and sleep.
Artificial Sweeteners: Harmless Swap or Hidden Problem for Gut and Appetite?
Layne Norton treats non-sugar sweeteners as a useful way to cut calories, Robert Lustig and Justin Sonnenburg see risks to insulin and the microbiome, and Peter Attia and Andrew Huberman end up in the middle with limited use.

Pay Yourself First: Why Automating Savings Beats Budgeting Willpower
Several money teachers say the people who get ahead move savings out of their paycheck automatically before they can spend it, instead of relying on a budget and discipline. This piece compares their systems and where they differ on budgets.
Coming back from injury: prehab, patient rehab and the long road back
Joey Diaz credits prehab before knee surgery, Tom Segura calls a serious injury his turning point, Tony Hawk rebuilt after a broken femur, Travis Barker came through thirty surgeries, and Russell Crowe, Josh Brolin, David Blaine and fighter Ethyn Ewing describe their own rehab. Their stories agree that the work before and after the operation decides the result, and that setbacks during recovery are normal.
End the weight cut: why fighters, coaches and a veteran referee want it gone
Joe Rogan's MMA guests return to weight cutting again and again: Matt Serra and Din Thomas make the case against it, referee John McCarthy and Josh Thompson call it the grossest thing in the sport, and champions including Israel Adesanya, Belal Muhammad, Aljamain Sterling and Justin Gaethje describe what it costs them. Judo champion Neil Adams recalls a weight cut before an Olympic final, which shows that the problem is older and wider than the UFC.
The mind-muscle connection: how to make a stubborn muscle finally grow
Jeff Cavaliere uses a simple contraction test to predict which muscles will respond, Andy Galpin explains intent and ways to activate stubborn muscles, and Huberman describes how the nervous system recruits muscle and why isolating a muscle differs from distributing load. The shared lesson is that where you direct attention changes what a set trains, which helps lifters whose lagging muscles ignore extra volume.
Marriage, sex and singleness: Paul, the Song of Songs and a pastor
1 Corinthians treats marriage, singleness and sexual conduct, Ephesians describes love and submission between spouses, the Song of Solomon celebrates desire inside commitment, and Pastor Michael Todd turns the same teaching into habits of transparency and shared faith. They agree that intimacy is good and belongs within covenant, a fuller picture than the single rule many people grew up hearing.

Ben Shapiro and Destiny argue over whether legal terms like incitement and insurrection fit, Sam Harris and David Pakman treat the day and the weeks before it as a grave warning, Dave Smith asks what federal agents were doing, and Andrew Callaghan reports what he saw of the people involved. Set side by side, they show that most of the dispute is over what the events mean and what to call them, with a smaller set of open questions about facts.
How Young Talent Gets Underpaid and Where Its Leverage Comes From
A rapper, a TikTok creator and a grappler describe early deals and prizes that paid them a small share of what they brought in, and they do not agree that taking such a deal is always a mistake.

Beasts, horns and night visions: how to read the Bible's apocalyptic books
Daniel's visions, Ezekiel's visions of glory and a new temple, Zechariah's eight night visions and Revelation's symbols all speak in images meant to encourage people under pressure. Revelation is described as a letter of hope more than a timeline, and reading the four books by the same rule guards against treating symbols as a calendar.
Bones need load: DEXA scans, osteocalcin and lifting against bone loss
Peter Attia recommends DEXA scans and tracking bone mineral density, Stacy Sims and Vonda Wright treat strength training as bone medicine, Sharon Malone covers bone loss around menopause, and Huberman explains how loaded bones release osteocalcin that reaches the brain. Bone is living tissue that answers to mechanical stress, so the case for lifting covers the skeleton as well as muscle.
