I also got this gem of a comment:

"absolute dog, heard he ran a 2:20 marathon" (it was 2:21, but pretty close)

Student eval comments that'll keep this wannabe comedian going:

"I appreciated making the jokes in lectures"
"I like when he cracks little jokes"
"He made some funny jokes about the topics that helped me learn"
"Daniel was a great instructor and so funny"
"He knows the material and is funny"

Can NAD⁺ slow aging? The supplement helps cells make energy and repair damage, but human evidence is thin, and hype is high. Experts (incl. APS members Daniel Craighead and Jonas Treebak) say proceed with caution. More in The New York Times: https://ow.ly/8ziz50XircF #ISpyPhysiology πŸ§ͺ

Influence of Resisted Breathing on Blood Pressure, VO2 Max and More! (Daniel Craighead, PhD)
YouTube video by Coaching Influence of Resisted Breathing on Blood Pressure, VO2 Max and More! (Daniel Craighead, PhD)

I recently had the pleasure of appearing on The Coaching Lab podcast. I had a great discussion with Dr. Brad Cooper about the state of the evidence of inspiratory muscle strength training for improving health and sport performance: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLhH...

Can you hack aging with NAD supplements? Early research shows potentialβ€”but human studies haven’t proven the hype.
