I came across this very interesting interview by Chris Williamson to Dr Andrew Huberman. He is a neuroscientist, Associate Professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine and a podcaster.
The mind and the body are intimately linked. Trying to improve your mental outcomes without thinking of your physical inputs is a losing battle, but the question of which inputs to use, and when is a huge challenge. Thankfully, Dr Huberman is one of the best communicators of high performance advice on the planet and has a lot of answers.
It is a long and rich conversation, worth your time if you want to know more about human performance, motivation, neuroscience, etc.
