Methylene blue is one of the most misunderstood compounds in biohacking, yet it can upgrade your energy, mood, memory, and cellular resilience when you use it the right way. We are back again with another solo masterclass, and this one breaks down how to use methylene blue as a precision tool for brain optimization, longevity, and human performance while avoiding the dosing mistakes that create jitteriness, sleep disruption, or dangerous interactions. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey guides you through more than a century of research on methylene blue. He has been hacking this compound since the early 2000s and brings deep insight into mitochondria, neuroplasticity, metabolism, supplements, fasting, red light, ketosis, nootropics, and functional medicine. You will learn how methylene blue works inside the cell, how it improves electron transport, and why it appears in neurology, psychiatry, and anti aging research at the same time. This episode shows you how to test your own dose, how to stack it with light and ketosis for maximum effect, and how to avoid serotonin syndrome or sleep disruption. Methylene blue also touches nearly every major system that biohackers care about, which is why this solo masterclass shows you how it interacts with mitochondria, neuroplasticity, metabolism, sleep optimization, and long term anti aging pathways. You will hear how it influences redox balance, ATP production, brain optimization, and stress resilience, and how it behaves when combined with ketosis, fasting, creatine, NAD boosters, red light therapy, or other nootropics. Host Dave Asprey explains why methylene blue pairs well with certain supplements but clashes with psychedelics or SSRI medications, how it fits into functional medicine protocols for mitochondrial repair, and how to use data and wearable tracking to dial in your response. This episode gives you a complete framework to evaluate whether methylene blue belongs in your personal longevity strategy and how to use it with precision instead of guesswork. You'll Learn: • Why methylene blue acts like mitochondrial jumper cables and when it improves energy and mood • The exact signs that your dose is too strong, too weak, or in the Goldilocks zone • How methylene blue interacts with neuroplasticity, memory circuits, and cognitive resilience • Why psychedelics, SSRIs, and MAO inhibitors can create dangerous serotonin interactions • How to pair methylene blue with red light therapy, ketosis, creatine, fasting, or NAD boosters • The link between mitochondrial health, fertility, libido, and long term anti aging strategies • How to track sleep optimization, HRV, and performance signals to dial in your personal protocol • The difference between aquarium grade dye and pharmaceutical grade formulations • Why genetic testing for G6PD deficiency is essential before higher dose experimentation Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

Well, I have a new to me and probably to you do-dad to help with anxiety symptoms. It is the Opera Air Mindfulness browser. In addition to the standard browsing features it has tools to help you breath and relax, guided meditations and a musical audio mode that can help you focus. Is this a good or bad thing? The TLDR: Some of the tech bros say it is a gimmick and who in their right mind would use it? In my bad times, I would have glommed on to it because I was looking for help. Lots of people are looking for mental health support and aren't too picky where they find it. (we should be, but when a person is in pain they are going to do what they think they need to do.) I like many of the features but there is a cost. Free ain't free especially online. Opera Air, like many other browsers is ad supported or allow third party extensions to be used in the browser. Many browser allow ads and cookie tracking to be passed onto those third party data collectors. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) can hide your location and computer. You generally need to tell it what you want. A free VPN can be problematic. Who is operating it, where is the data passing through and what if it is down and you don't know it? Or it is blocking you from seeing certain web sites? The security features require users to turn them on. If you don't, oopsie? Also, if you use those third party vendors extensions, you are subject to their terms of service which might include things you in no way agree to. Again, I am not bashing the browser. I like the reminders about getting up and moving or taking a breathing breaks. But I do want folks to know what the benefits to you is versus cost of your privacy and personal information. That will be up to you to decide. Resources Mentioned: If you would like to see how Opera Air works, Brett in Tech has an overview video of the features of the software. Before you download, I would suggest reading the Opera Help Page and read the FAQs so that you understand what you gain and give up when you use the browser.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS November 19th, 2025!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! REGISTER HERE! Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In today's episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle the pervasive fear around muscle loss during fasting by examining recent research and clarifying why concerns about extended fasts are largely unfounded for people with significant fat to lose, addressing the context behind why lean individuals like Dr. Peter Attia and Thomas DeLauer have adjusted their fasting approaches differently. They break down groundbreaking 2025 research from Nature showing that maximal leg muscle strength was completely preserved during seven-day fasts despite measured lean body mass loss, explaining how DEXA scans measure water, glycogen, and other non-muscle components rather than actual contractile muscle tissue that takes months and years to build. The hosts reveal how fasting actually protects muscle through elevated growth hormone (your body's "muscle guardian") and how ketones directly decrease leucine oxidation while promoting protein synthesis even at low ketone concentrations between 0.5-1.5. They emphasize that 75% of the population with substantial fat stores has a completely different fasting application than ultra-lean athletes, and that combining consistent fasting with protein prioritization and resistance training 2-3 times weekly creates optimal body composition changes while accelerating fat loss. This episode delivers a confidence-boosting perspective for anyone who's been hesitant to embrace fasting due to muscle loss fears, reframing extended fasts as a powerful tool for those with weight to lose while providing clear guidelines on when and how to transition fasting strategies as you approach your maintenance weight.

The R&I guys are back! Host First Officer Ryan Argenta sits down with Captain Scott Bowles and Captain John Doherty from ALPA's Retirement & Insurance Committee to talk smart money, savvy timing, and how pilots can make major-league financial plays through the new Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation (NQDC) plan. Whether you're eyeing tax strategy, income flexibility, or long-term planning, learn how to harness a little Bobby Bonilla energy - turning today's earnings into tomorrow's steady paychecks. We cover eligibility, tax-deferral tactics, in-service vs. retirement/termination distributions, market exposure, and practical risk checks, including insolvency considerations and timing gotchas. After the break, we shift to Open Enrollment 2026: plan changes, HSA reminders, GVUL considerations (including the imputed-income play), and simple to-dos so you don't leave money on the table. It's practical, pilot-specific financial insight with a side of humor and real-world strategy. An overview of the NQDC and related MOU details can be found in R&I Update 25-03. The FAQs can be accessed directly at Newport NQDC FAQs. The first round of Newport-hosted webinars has concluded; however, pilots can watch a replay of the Plan Design Overview Meeting via Deltanet.

California has taken a new approach to protecting minors online. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed the Digital Age Assurance Act, shifting responsibility for age assurance to app developers while leaving verification to self-reported age data at the operating system level. The law—backed by Big Tech and set to take effect in 2027—moves away from the stricter parental consent models in Utah and Texas and creates a new compliance landscape for developers under CCPA and COPPA. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Alysa Z. Hutnik, Laura Riposo VanDruff, Alexander I. Schneider, and Salim Rashid.

Building custom GPTs for real work, not just party tricks is tricky. That's why I invited Len Ward to sit in my guest chair. He's a former Wall Street pro turned agency builder, now leading Comexis, and he has the scars to prove what works and what does not. We covered where these tools shine, where they trip you up, and how to keep them sounding like you, not a committee of the internet. Key points The idea Build a focused GPT that acts like a virtual team member. Feed it your processes, products, locations, and goals so it can help with tasks like onboarding, strategy, and client communication. What can go wrong Trusting outputs without review, letting the model drift from your voice over time, and uploading sensitive info or leaving training on so your data fuels everyone else's bot. What we would do differently Lock down privacy settings, create prompt playbooks, retrain with fresh voice samples on a set schedule, and keep humans in the loop for approval. What went wrong I learned the hard way that voice drifts. I had the GPT read my work, it started strong, then wandered off into generic advice land. Len called out why. If we keep feeding broad material and never course correct, the model forgets our tone. Another stumble is data carelessness. Uploading client details or financials, even as examples, can create risk. One more trap is blind faith. These tools are fast, not flawless. They still need a final pass from human eyes. Actionable takeaways for women running the show Scope the job Name one clear role for each GPT, such as Onboarding Coordinator or Content Draft Assistant. Narrow focus leads to better answers. Set privacy controls In settings, turn off training on your data. Do not upload personal or financial info. If you must, scrub names and use your own codes. Build a prompt playbook Ask the GPT to write the top ten prompts it responds to best. Save them and start sessions with those prompts to keep work on track. Refresh the voice Every few weeks, feed three to five recent posts, emails, or show notes and say, learn this voice again. Then ask for a short style checklist it must follow. Require a human check Before anything goes public, the content owner signs off. Think of GPT as the fast assistant, you are the editor in chief. Collect and centralize content Keep a clean library in Drive or Dropbox. Use clear folders for articles, FAQs, product sheets, and case studies. These become your training set. Answer real questions Watch chatbot logs or support tickets. Turn every repeated question into a page, a post, or a short video. If your site does not solve a problem as fast as ChatGPT, visitors leave. Forget silver bullets Old school SEO tricks are not the ticket. Strong brands with deep, helpful content win more often in AI answers. Keep writing, keep linking, keep it useful. Why this matters now We are shifting from search and retrieve to solve my problem. Custom GPTs, used wisely, can speed that shift inside your business, from onboarding to content to customer care. Used carelessly, they dilute your voice and increase risk. The good news is the fix is simple habits, not magic.

As America sends its biggest naval hardware to the Caribbean, we ask whether the intent is more than mere sabre-rattling—and why the Trump administration has appetite for another foreign entanglement. Our correspondent sits down with Salman Rushdie to discuss his new book and the value of humour. And as AI-generated spreads, more of the lyrics get filthy.
