This is my favorite interview question. I like to start them off with a win to break the adversarial atmosphere.
And then proceed to criticize their foos choices? J/k

#44Microwaved coffee and a few stale cigarettes.
Do you microwave the cigarettes in the coffee or simply eat them raw?

#45Porridge, Scottish style. Just milled porridge oats with whole milk. 5mins in a microwave. Salt to taste. I row for an hour or so every morning before breakfast so this hits the spot and keeps me full until lunchtime.
Love this. I make it on the stove top, but Scottish porridge is delicious.

#462 cups of coffee with Collagen powder and EAA powder mixed in. A few EAA and collagen capsules. types 1 2 3 5 10 collagen Also CoQ10 in the morning. With that and each meal I also take: A Tumeric/Curcumin formula, 200mg Oregano Oil on odd days, 15k IU's D3, 200µg K2 MK7, 200 mg magnesium taurate dont do this , 200mg calcium lactate, 400mg potassium, 5000µg biotin, mushroom capsules with 6 types of mushrooms, various…
I can lookup the individual supplements, but is there any specific reason (if you are willing to share) to take this combination? Also, I'm curious about the caveat for magnesium taurate, it seems harmless enough? If you don't mind me prying, could you point me in the right direction to read more about this regimen? Is it anti-aging research?
I should do a write-up some day of what each molecule does both good and potentially bad. The reason I warn about taking that much magnesium per meal is that some people starting at that level may experience difficulty breathing. There are prerequisite processes to build up to some levels of some minerals and not everyone needs that much. Even taking 15k IU's of D3 per meal can cause hypercalcemia in some people if they do not build their way up to it over time and also use enough K2. Knowing ones renal health is also very important when taking large amounts of certain molecules. Some of those things work together and some can work against each other depending on the person. The list is ever evolving. There is also a myriad of outdated known information about each thing which makes research a lot harder.
I arrived at that combination for myself after years of researching papers on nih.gov, linked studies from examine.com and binge watching thousands of videos by nutritionists and scientists of whom do not always agree with one another. I tailored that combination to me but there could be benefit in researching each thing. The ingredients and amounts will change with time.
Is it anti-aging research?
One could find some of those things mentioned in anti-aging and tissue/organ repair studies.
