New Video: Sleeping Position
Hey everyone! Finally a new video!
This one took a while, mostly because I got hung up on potential mechanisms by which snoring is bad for you, but didn't even talk about that in the end.
One correction on the vid - it’s no longer accurate to say the brain doesn’t have a lymphatic vessels… [Nature article from 1 day ago] The central nervous system (CNS) was long thought to lack l...
Upate: Pillows and Writing Process
Hey everyone,
It's been a while since my last my upload so I thought I'd give you an update. Here I'm talking about some of the difficulties I have with my writing process, so this might be interesting for those of you working on similar non-fiction writing type projects - you might be able to relate to some of the hurdles I run into.
The question to address in the upcoming video is "Do we really need pillows for good sleep quality?" - I talk a bit about the idea I have so far...
Better Sound Quality Incoming
Just need an audio interface and I can start using this. Maybe do some more podcast-y posts for you guys here on Patreon.
Also, I just started an Instagram - totally new to this, never had an account. What kind of content do you guys want to see? - https://www.instagram.com/jeverett.whativelearned/

Response to Q&A Question - Sustainability of Meat
Hey everyone,
Here's my response to one of the questions I got. I'm new to this kind of format so my speech lacks a bit of fluidity, I hope it's not to the point that it's hard to listen to. I'll have to do a few extra takes going forward as I get used to monologuing into a recorder.
Feel free to leave any questions or comments, let me know if you like this kind of audio format.
Talks mentioned:

Behind the Scenes - Writing Process (Podcast) | $5 Tier
Hey everyone,
This is a podcast for those of you on the Behind the Scenes tier. I'm discussing my writing process and the concepts/principles I keep in mind while writing.
This is my first time doing this so I hope the flow isn't too bad.
Feel free to give me some feedback -
Did this format seem appropriate for discussing the writing process?
Would you like to see other "podcasts" from me?
Or whatever comments or questions you might have.
Thank you!

Why is Nutrition Confusing? - Script
Hey everyone,
Here's the script for my latest video!
This one took a while to make - honestly what took most deliberation was what to cut out. It could have been an hour if I left all the other points I had in there.
A big point that's missing here is human error & bias and industry influence. However, that's a little messier to talk about and I don't think is very productive. Painting a picture that most science is biased by hubris and industry funding doesn't encourage ...
Tusko the Elephant (Deleted Scene)
Hey everyone,
Been working on a video that's going to be a little more than twice as long as my normal videos. There was this one anecdote and shows the difficulty of trying to determine how to get an equivalent effect of some compound on different animals of different sizes. I cut it out because it didn't seem entirely relevant and was just belaboring a point I was making. I thought it was quite interesting so I'll share it with y'all:

Tim Ferris Questions
I surprisingly didn't have any questions come in for the Q&A, but one of my friends asked me the Tim Ferris questions, so I'll answer those here. (By the way, what does everyone think about the Q&A "system" ? Did anyone have trouble finding the "how to submit" a question post? I hate to make it so formal, but it's so I can easily find your email in my inbox)

Q&A #1 - My background, NAD Boosters
Hey everyone, only had two questions for this Q&A which allowed me to dig into them pretty deep. (I'll leave the questions anonymous, but if y'all would like me to mention your name let me know and I'll edit it in)
(1) My background: "I’m still interested in your background, as I indicated earlier. I’m interested because I’m wondering how you went from being raised in TX to living in Japan and being so well-qualified in the language – both intrigue me. ...
Ideas for New Video on unpacking health info
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a video about how deal with the constant incoming information on health/food from the media. It will focus on a couple heuristics to help analyze headlines and whatnot.
There's all kinds of new studies showing low carb diets shorten lifespan, eggs are bad again and that keto gives you keto crotch. Of course in the past there's been tons of finding things like fish gives you stomach cancer, coffee gives you kidney cancer and butter gives you breast ca...
G. Taubes & S. Guyenet - Anyone want a breakdown?
Does anyone want a breakdown of this?
It was a bit of a pain to watch, it seemed like Stefán was out to exact some revenge on Gary for a past transgression by being publicly rude to him. Gary even said to Steven at some point "What do you mean you haven't read those studies??? This is what we had a falling out over like 6 years ago, we used to be buddies!" There were some interesting points discussed ...but it was rough sitting through all that tension.
Did anyone watch ...
Beta Carotene is not Vitamin A - Blood Tests
A couple months back I went with my Mom to get some blood tests and thanks to various clinic staffs' clerical inefficiencies... we just recently got the results back. Mom said she didn't mind sharing, so here's her Beta Carotene and Vitamin A results:
It's very concerning that her Vitamin A is so low (actually below the reference interval). Vitamin A is important for immune functio...

Dave Feldman - LDL, Triglycerides & Energy - mp3 link & Full Video
Hey everyone,
Here's a link to the complete interview with Dave Feldman in one segment. (I publicly uploaded the first segment of the interview where he explains the Lipid Energy Model) Thought it might make it a little more convenient to watch then to have to click over to the second part. Also, I've attached an mp3 of the interview for those of you that would prefer to listen to it on you...
Orthotropics / Mewing Video & Transcript
Hey everyone,
Here's my new video on the importance of tongue posture for the proper forward development of the face. I had seen a couple videos by John Mew on "growing the face" and it was an interesting concept but I got really interested in it when pushing my tongue on the roof of my mouth helped with TMJ / temporomandibular joint dysfunction - something I've had since a teenager. Basically I tend to clench my teeth when I sleep and my jaw pops and starts to shift out of place if I ...

Merry Christmas! Update / Q&A
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!
I hope y'all had a good time hanging out with family and friends. Went to a Christmas market here in Tokyo which was more like a beer, glühwein and German sausage market.
Quick update:

Alcohol: What do you do to prevent crap-iety?
Anything y'all do to mitigate the negative effects of alcohol? It could be a hangover prevention, something to prevent you from feeling extra groggy in the morning or anything in general to protect your body from its negative effects.
Alcohol: Questions, Comments? Hangover cures?
Hey everyone,
I recently made a post on twitter asking what people do to avoid a hangover:
(link to tweet if you wanna see hangover strategies: https://bit.ly/2La1eG5 ). And I'm thinking I should have phrased as "What do you do to mitigate the negative effects of alcohol?" As "anti-hangover" would suggest you're going out with the int...

VIDEO: Interview on Alzheimer's w/ Amy Berger [Patreon Early Access]
Hey everyone,
Hope y'all have been having a good autumn / winter. I recently went to the Low Carb Houston event in Texas and had the chance to interview a couple great speakers. I finished editing my interview with Amy Berger on Alzheimer's so I'm sharing it with y'all for now, but plan to release it publicly in a week or so after I make a video in my usual style on Alzheimer's.
I have a couple other interviews that I will be releasing relatively soon... there's a lot of editing ...

New video! Looking forward to y'alls comments
Okinawan Myth (Short Video Excerpt for Patrons)
Hey everyone!
Here's a short excerpt just for y'all. I'm working on a breakdown of Chris Kresser (omnivore) vs. Joel Kahn (vegan) debate - shooting to have it released within today. At one point, Kahn says "they eat almost no saturated fat in Okinawa Japan and had the greatest longevity in 1970..."
I address that point in this excerpt
Debunking a "debunking" - Kresser on JRE
Hey everyone,
I'm working on a breakdown of the Kahn Kresser debate, hopefully I'll be done before everyone loses interest in it.
I was looking at some counter arguments and came across a video in which a youtuber "debunks" Chris's statement:
"There is no meta analysis of RCT's that shows that eating more sat fat will increase your risk of death.
Much of the debate was spent talking about saturated...
