Rock has dodged steroid admissions his entire career

β€œHe is a prominent and outspoken, I suppose, well, he's not really a prominent fake natty, but he has essentially said flat out that he is, you know, doesn't take gear, or is, you know, I think the only admitting he did to anything was, you know, I took something when I was in my teens, and, you know, it was just like a random, like, prohormone or something, and then that was it. And essentially has dodged it for his entire career, if not outright, kind of said in a roundabout way that he doesn't do anything.”

Thirteen-minute daily meditation improves memory after eight weeks

β€œThe title is brief daily meditation enhances attention, memory, mood, and emotional regulation in non experienced meditators. One group did a thirteen minute long meditation, and this meditation was a fairly conventional meditation, they would sit or lie down, they would do somewhat of a body scan evaluating for instance how tense or relaxed they felt throughout their body and they would focus on their breathing. that daily meditation of thirteen minutes can enhance your ability to pay attention and to learn. It can truly enhance memory. However, you need to do that for at least eight weeks in order to start to see the effects to occur”

Rock never got cardiac imaging despite decades of enhancement

β€œBy his account, he's suggesting that he's never had, like, screening done, despite the fact that he is the highest paid athlete, uh, not athlete, uh, actor on the planet, I believe. A guy who is one of the highest paid and one of the most who needs to rely on being, like, a big jacked, probably on hormones guy to be that most paid actor. And yet, at his, in his 50s, he had not even had the screening done. The guy has been exposing himself to huge risks, fluctuating body weights, using significant amounts of hormones, probably, eating 6,000 to 8,000 calories a day, supposedly, which is absolutely not, you know, gonna be healthy for you, ultimately.”

Rock got a second AI scan that overruled the plaque diagnosis

β€œI called you. And I said, Doc, listen, here's what I got. I'm not indicting anybody. I'm not throwing anybody under the bus, but what do you think? And here's what their suggestion is. And again, I'll never forget on that Zoom. You went, OK, hold on. Let's not jump to conclusions. I don't want you getting on that right now. Don't get on the medication. There's a couple of steps here, I think, that we can do that could be invaluable. For example, let's get a scan done, but let's get an AI scan done.”

DΓ©jΓ  vu may be neurons firing out of sequence

β€œNo discussion of memory would be complete without a discussion of the ever intriguing phenomena known as deja vu. They evaluated the patterns of neural firing in the hippocampus as subjects learn new things. Neuron a fires, then neuron b fires, then neuron c fires in a particular sequence. found that whether or not those particular neurons were played in the precise sequence that happened when they encoded the memory, or whether or not those neurons were played in a different sequence, or even if those neurons were played activated that is all at once with no temporal sequence, all firing in concert all at once evoked the same behavior and in some sense, the same memory. So at a neural circuit level, this is deja vu.”

Chronic adrenaline elevation actually inhibits learning and memory

β€œchronic stress, the chronic elevation of epinephrine and cortisol is actually detrimental to learning. And there's an entire category of literature mainly from the work of the great and sadly the late, Bruce McEwen from the Rockefeller University and some of his scientific offspring like the great Robert Sapolsky, showing that chronic stress, chronic elevation of epinephrine actually inhibits learning and memory and also can inhibit immune system function, whereas acute sharp increases in adrenaline and cortisol actually can enhance learning and indeed can enhance the immune system.”

Adrenaline spikes after learning reduce repetitions needed

β€œIt is the presence of high adrenaline, high amounts of norepinephrine and epinephrine that allows a memory to be stamped down quickly and far and away different than the idea that we remember things because they're important to us or because they evoke emotion. That's true. But the real reason, the neurochemical reason, the mechanism behind all that is neurochemicals have the ability to strengthen neuro connections by making them active just once. There's something truly magic about that neurochemical cocktail that removes the need for repetition.”

The Rock's Hawaiian shirt exaggerated his actual size loss

β€œSo, I do think this was a pretty poor choice of wardrobe if he didn't want to exaggerate things. It looks like almost potentially like his suit hasn't been even, you know, tailored to his new low of body weight potentially. But the Hawaiian shirt, bro, like, you know, you're going to get lit up by people who don't understand body composition. When you're that lean and you're wearing a baggy shirt, like, prepare to be told that you don't work out anymore.”

A viral fitness clip falsely claimed Rock came off due to artery plaque

β€œThe Rock has officially come off steroids. Now, love him or hate him, this guy is on the top of the charts when it comes to fake naturals. He's right up there with Mike O'Hern. However, the show looks like it's finally coming to an end. He recently found out that he had plaque buildup in his circumflex artery from his decades of gear use. Now, the reason why this plaque buildup can be so fucking dangerous is because it can lead to heart attack, strokes or aneurysms, which is probably why he decided to hop off.”

Cardiovascular exercise releases osteocalcin from bones to strengthen hippocampus

β€œexercise can impact learning and memory through other non neurogenesis, non new neuron type mechanisms. And one of the more exciting ones that has been studied over the years is this notion of hormones from bone traveling in the bloodstream to the brain and enhancing the function of the hippocampus. Yes, indeed, your bones make hormones. We call these endocrine effects, so they're effectively acting as hormones. And one such chemical is something called osteocalcin.”

Medieval communities threw children in rivers to cement memories

β€œin medieval times, communities threw young children in the river when they wanted them to remember important events. They believe that throwing a child in the water after witnessing historic proceedings would leave a lifelong memory for the events in the child. And believe it or not, this is true. This is a practice that somehow people arrived at. I don't know if they were aware of what adrenaline was, probably not, but somehow in medieval times, it was understood that spiking adrenaline or creating a robust emotional experience after an experience that one hoped a child would learn would encourage the child's nervous system”

Heart disease remains the leading killer, even for naturals

β€œThe leading cause of death in the US is still heart disease. And within that, the subsect of the cause of that heart disease is most often going to be atherosclerosis. So plaque buildup in the arteries. And this is something that manifests early in life, like as early as, you know, like teenage hood, you start to stack plaque in your arteries. And most people are not exempt from this. Even metabolically fit individuals, a lot of them will still have some level of plaque accumulation.”

Playing Mark Kerr required Rock's juiciest physique ever in his 50s

β€œLike the role he played, he was achieving, you know, the representation of a MMA legend who was known for being a sauce fiend, and pre-like juice regulation, and also a guy who's a genetic freak for muscle building and being jacked, probably one of the juiciest guys ever in the sport. And that guy, I, the craziest shit about it is the Rock is doing it in his 50s, playing a guy, well, by the way, like he is representing the role, like a spitting image, of a guy in his 20s who is a phenom on gear, and then the guy who's that guy he's playing is actually nearly the same age as the Rock, I believe, in real life, which is like the weirdest contrast ever.”

A clean bill of health may green-light Rock to bulk again

β€œIf he is indeed, like, plaque free, as they are suggesting, that would actually put him in, like, a rare, kind of like, probably like a unique, uncommon subsect of the population of, you know, the US., essentially, where he is actually more healthy from a plaque accumulation standpoint or a, you know, atherosclerosis potential standpoint than the majority of people in the country. So the fact, if it is indeed true, like, that's, in my opinion, would kind of lead to the conclusion that he's probably like, huh, I could probably do more of this shit. I could probably, you know, do more of these roles in the future.”

Cold water exposure boosts memory retention of dull material

β€œMcGaugh and Cahill did experiments where they gave people a boring paragraph to read and only a boring paragraph to read. But one group of subjects was asked to read the paragraph and then to place their arm into very, very cold water. In fact, it was ice water. We know that placing one's arm into ice water, especially if it's up to the shoulder or near to it, evokes the release of adrenaline in the body. And what they found is that if one evokes the release of adrenaline through this arm into ice water approach, the information that they read previously, just a few minutes before, was remembered. It was retained as well as emotionally intense information.”

Taking photos enhances memory even if never reviewed

β€œif people are allowed to choose what they take photos of, that taking photos Again, this is with a camera, not mental snapshotting, that taking those photos would actually enhance their memory for those objects, those places, those people, and in fact details of those object, places, and people. And indeed, that's what they found. What does this mean? It means if you really wanna remember something or somebody, take a photo of that thing or person, pay attention while you take the photo, but it doesn't really matter if you look at the photo again. That framing up of the photograph stamps down a visual image in your mind that is more robust at serving a memory than had you just looked at that thing with your own eyes.”
