All-In with Chamath, Jason, Sacks & Friedberg
All-In Live from Austin: Colin and Samir, Chris Williamson, and Bryan Johnson

We want to test 20% of the foods that make up 80% of the U.S. diet. So then we can say on average, the average American consumes blank, you know, mercury per day or cadmium or whatever. So we tested a few of the things. We looked at diapers. there was a dangerously high level of glyphosate in diapers. For the cotton? Cotton, exactly.

Call them out right now. We can't yet. Okay, we got the test soon. Exactly. So we're going to reveal the first few ones, but dog food was really bad, which makes sense. Dogs have been living their shorter lives now. But yeah, once you start seeing this, it's really pretty.

Yeah, so again, to back you, Jason, on this. So Gerber, so there was a law passed in California that said baby food providers have to disclose heavy metals in their foods. So it went into effect January 1. And so we go to Gerber's website.

Yeah, I think the four. Four big. And so it's like, okay, so go to Gerber's website. I can't find heavy metals results anywhere. And then I realized my VPN's on, and I'm coming from a server outside of California. They've IP blocked. No way. Yep, California-only IP origination, and they hide it. And so this is what I'm saying. These companies... These are nefarious. It's really not good.

I think he is going to challenge status quo power. And I think that's going to create a lot of conflict and a lot of reconfigurations. I think it will refrag.

Yeah, I mean, the power laws are so clear. Sleep is, like, by far and away the biggest power law. Then exercise, number two. Diet, number three. And so it's just being consistent on those three things. And then once you get those three layers, you can go down other layers. But, like, what we've tried to do is we've tried to say anything which increases my speed of aging is a form of die.

So how do you eliminate that? And then we just started with the power laws. I start with zero all the way down and just, yep. Top three things for sleep? So the thing you want to do is you want to lower. So the key marker is lowering your resting heart rate before bed. That is the number. I'd say if you could optimize one marker in your entire life, it's that.

So before you go to bed tonight, look at a wearable or take your pulse. It's your resting heart rate. So tonight, let's just say you're at 55. So your goal of the next week or two is to try to get down to 50. The next month, 45. As you do that, so the way you drive it down is you have your final meal of the day at least two hours before bedtime.

So if you go to bed at 10, be done at 8, and then push it back an hour, you're like, hey, 30 minutes each day. And as you push it back every day, your heart rate is going to go down incrementally because your body has more time to digest. So then you also find that food you eat, like if you eat a big pasta or pizza or something, it will jack up the heart rate.
