Greetings—from my garage. Here’s the video (scroll down ￬) for paid subscribers that I promised in my most recent Saturday Coffee. Because so many of you asked for it, I decided to send it to all paying subscribers.

Perhaps the greatest benefit of working with rings is that they force your gym body to adapt to new forms of instability, to keep your weight centered and balanced on the rings. Thus, this workout builds muscles that regular gym weights and weight machines can’t. Talk about functional strength!

NOTE: This movement isn’t for everyone and requires some shoulder and triceps strength as well as some equipment, which I discuss in the video. But if you’re interested in developing upper-body strength in just one minute of daily movement, this simple rings movement works. It also builds six-pack abs in short order, I’ve found.

Let me know what you think in a comment.

Greetings! This is an exclusive paid subscriber benefit associated with my post, “Do magic mushrooms make you live longer?”

Here’s a quick review of a study from July 2025 by researchers from Emory University’s department of medicine showing how psilocybin extended lifespan in aging mice…and suggesting that it might work on you, too.

The paper, titled, “Psilocybin treatment extends cellular lifespan and improves survival of aged mice,” can be read in its entirety here. But unless you’re a scientist, it’s not a fun read. Instead, below are a well-known researcher’s detailed thoughts on the study, in plain-English, bullet-point form.

One longevity researcher’s review of the psilocybin study

Matt Kaeberlein is a respected University of Washington biologist and a longevity researcher with a reputation for not overstating the science — unlike a growing number of his colleagues in prestigious labs at Harvard (David Sinclair), MIT (Leonard Guarante) and Stanford (Andrew Huberman).
