Welcome to this new day, Hero!
Willpower for not watching porn comes from your energy and brain drive
Without them, porn has an upper hand
Let me tell you about a study of Israeli parole judges
If you are in prison, you’d think that your parole depends on your behavior
But turns out there’s a huge factor you don’t control
They did this study on judges
When was the percentage of people granted parole the highest?
In the morning
And then it kept declining until lunchtime
After lunch, it got bumped up
But around 2:30 p.m. it would dip again
Cognitive performance including your brain drive keeps decreasing throughout the day
That’s why it’s easier to fight urges in the morning
And very hard at night
But knowing that, how can we hack brain drive to improve willpower ❓
Let’s go over my favorite ways to do so
Brain drive depends on — Number 1️⃣ — your… food
If you eat junk food…
It floods your brain with serotonin which makes you relax
Killing brain drive… and willpower
Here’s how I get brain drive with food:
1️⃣ Read meat for dopamine = motivation
2️⃣ Coffee
It’s like a nootropic for me
3️⃣ MCT oil
These foods give me high brain drive
And it’s so much easier to focus on what I really want
Rather than think about porn
I want you to switch to healthier food slowly
Avoiding gluten and eating more healthy fats is a good start
Now here’s the 2️⃣ source of willpower for no contact with your genitals
Sleep is the Number 1 underestimated factor for energy in the body
And energy is WILLPOWER to steer clear of porn
So do at least this one thing from this day on:
Make bedtimes and wake-up times regular
You can’t sleep less today and catch up on the weekend
That’s not how it works
This disrupts your circadian rhythm
Stealing away your energy
And also aging you prematurely
Do you want to feel old when you’re 40?
The 3️⃣ way to increase energy for willpower to avoid porn is through supplements
We don’t get enough vitamins and minerals from food
Because of soil depletion
Here are four supplements I’ve seen help my clients:
✔ Fish oil for:
Higher T (8% increase in studies)
Better protein synthesis
Reducing stress
Fighting inflammation
✔ Vitamin C
A powerful antioxidant to support your immune system
✔ Magnesium
Magnesium affects more than 300 processes in the body
But most people are deficient in magnesium
In particular, it helps with sleep and muscle cramping
✔ Zinc
Another important mineral that helps with testosterone and fertility
While I recommend these supplements, I am not a doctor
Make sure you are careful with them
But I do feel they help me with willpower on this porn-free journey
Just as these other two factors: healthy food and sleep
And I want you to join me in this journey
