A short note on why I follow each account.
Where most of my sleep stack came from. Best when he is explaining a mechanism, worth a second opinion when he is selling a protocol.
The sleep toolkit is the single most useful thing on his site, and it is where my magnesium and theanine doses come from. He is at his best explaining how something works well enough that you can reason about it yourself.
He also has sponsors, and the supplement recommendations sit close to them. Worth reading with that in mind.
Sleep only, and deep. Also the person most likely to tell you a popular sleep trend is not supported.
A sleep researcher rather than a general health feed, which is exactly why he is worth following. He is where I got the mouth-taping caveat and the point that melatonin is a timing signal, not a sedative.
He is willing to say the evidence does not support something even when it is popular, which is rarer than it should be.
The most research-dense of the group. Follow when you want the papers, not the summary.
She goes further into the literature than anyone else here and links her sources, so you can check the claim yourself rather than taking it on trust. Micronutrients, heat exposure, and metabolism are the recurring subjects.
The clips account is the easier way in if the full episodes are too long.
Long-range framing - what you want to be able to do at 90, and what that means for training and testing now.
The Centenarian Decathlon idea is his most useful export: decide what you want to physically do decades from now, then work backward. It makes training decisions concrete in a way that general longevity content does not.
Also the clearest writer here on risk markers like ApoB and Lp(a).
Knees, ankles, and the ranges most training avoids. A coach with a system to sell, and the system is still useful.
The ATG material is the best free resource I have found for lower-leg and knee capacity, and the progressions are genuinely scalable — you can start assisted and work up.
He is also selling coaching, and the claims run ahead of the evidence in places. Take the progressions, leave the promises about injury.
The one to read when you want to know what to measure before you change your program.
Galpin’s habit is to ask what you are actually trying to improve and how you would know, which cuts through most training arguments. His assessment battery and the 3-5 framework both come from that instinct.
Also reliably unimpressed by training claims that sound exciting, which is useful.
Nutrition sorted by effect size. The person to check when a supplement or diet claim sounds too good.
Norton’s contribution is ranking things by how much they actually matter — calories and protein before meal timing, adherence before optimization. His supplement tier lists are the fastest way to find out something does nothing.
Combative on social media, which is either a feature or a reason to mute him.
