So, guys, Derek, moreplacemoredates.com.

Today we are going to be checking out Mike O'Hern's pre-workout.

It was sent to me by a few people.

And notably, this was screenshoted and give us a good summarization of what you can expect.

Mike O'Hern, I am not a huge fan of pre-workouts that contain huge amounts of caffeine and stimulants.

I don't like that stimmed out feeling.

They just have a negative effect on my workouts.

So notably, your metabolism of stimulants becomes less efficient as you get older.

So caffeine and other stimulants are going to hit you harder and harder.

So if you're ever wondering why, well, obviously tolerance plays a big

impact on it, but there are a lot of individuals I know personally who, when they were in their

20s, they could slam the fuck out of energy drinks out of pre-workouts. And now in their later 30s or their

40s, they can't even handle half the shit they used to. And that is, you know, literally just drug metabolism.

So I don't know if he's always been like that or if that's just because he's in his 50s now,

but it's worth noting nonetheless that it's an interesting factoid that tolerance seems to,

you know, or metabolism, I should say, seems to, you know, slow down as you get older.

When it comes to train and obviously there there's genetic differences already off the bat

in terms of how fast you can clear this stuff out of your system.

There are actual genetic polymorphisms you can check during your genetic analysis,

you know, with 23 and me, whatever it is, in order to see if you're a fast or a slow metabolizer

of caffeine.

Interesting nuggets of information for optimizing your sleep protocol.
