Exposing the scrotum/testicles to direct sunlight for 20 minutes/day increases testosterone significantly. I wonder if a sun/S.A.D. lamp would have a similar effect?

Do you also take magnesium? Have you verified serum levels via blood work?

Serum is more relevant. 40-60 ng/mL 25(OH)D, a commonly preferred range, is usually achieved with 50-100 IU/kg vitamin D3. 10 IU D3 : 2 mcg+ MK-4. And chelated/TRAACS magnesium.

Save at least 20% of take-home in a high-yield account. Even if not making that much. Get into the habit. Never touch it (even if it requires drafting legal documents)! The DJIA (ie, stock market) averages 8% YoY above inflation. 50% is eve

In my opinion, 43 (1 CEO + 6 managers/executives + 6 * 6 individual contributors) is the optimal employee count. It becomes a still-reasonable 259 (1 CEO + 6 executives + 6 * 6 managers + 6 * 6 * 6 individual contributors) if reality i

Selegiline has also been associated with increased lifespan. I sometimes wonder if vitamin D's effect on blood sugar is comparable to metformin.

How did you arrive at this number? Based on my calculations, it will take 50 years of saving 20% of take-home into an inflation-offsetting account to be able to retire. It's assumed a house is purchased separately. If the fabled 8% YoY

Magnesium deficiency/insufficiency is almost as common as vitamin D's. If status hasn't been verified by something like an RBC or WBC magnesium test, then it isn't really known.

NutrEval, a comprehensive hormone panel, a thyroid panel, and genetic testing. Keeping everything in the preferred range (for a 25 year old; can get more involved as time goes by) may be a better approach. Iodine protocol. MSM lotion.

Nootropics are to increase verbal fluidity and mental clarity. A multivitamin stack supports nootropic use and helps maintain good health (along with nutrition, exercise, and quality sleep; engineering jobs can be draining/stressful).

Memantine is best at about 5 mg (start at 2.5 mg, then add another 2.5 mg 3-4 days later). I forgot to mention P21/cerebrolysin, perhaps my favorite nootropic. SEMAX + selank + alpha-GPC is a good/strong general purpose stack, esp
