Nutritional yeast is being slept on

Basic but often overlooked principle: The body’s need for nutrients goes waaaay up in acute & chronic illness

If you don't understand when *not to take a supplement/peptide, then you don't understand it.

Are you paying attention?

I like this idea: One purpose in life is to build a character - a way of living and moving in this world - that you are proud of. Shaping and embodying this character becomes a main priority. Above wealth. Above fame, etc. Once you decide upon careful reflection the values and virtues you wish to bring forth in this world, then it acts as a filter/sieve for which actions and behaviours that are available to you. The rest is simply no longer of consideration. Of course, not so easy to implement, but you can practice this constantly, day in and day out. Some quotes on character by the mighty Marcus Aurelius: "It can ruin your life only if it ruins your character. Otherwise, it cannot harm you-inside or out." "Settle on the type of person you want to be and stick to it, whether alone or in company." "You fail your soul when you fail your principles." "Your task is to stand straight; not to be held straight." "I was once a fortunate man but at some point fortune abandoned me. But true good fortune is what you make for yourself. Good fortune: good character, good intentions, and good actions."

One thing people don't understand is that if you are eating a large amount of macros (for bulking purposes), your micronutrient requirements scale up with that. You can't increase protein + carb intake without also increasing you magnesium, potassium, B1, zinc, B2, B3, B5, trace minerals, etc. If you are eating micronutrient dense foods this typically happens by default (maybe still not enough Mg + B1 tho), but if you are macros maxxing a la body builders, this will become a problem.

Too many people go through life without a single thing that excites them throughout the day. Create a mindset that gets excuted about things. Figure out what excites you. Live a life with more of that in it.

You can tell a lot about a persons childhood (indoor vs outdoor) based on their eye health

From client today 🙏: "A child is a great teacher to be present in the real world"

Micronutrients don’t directly signal satiety, but they enable mitochondrial energy flux and efficient fuel utilzation. What does that mean for hormonal health (which are signalling molecules at the end of the day)? Thyroid hormone signals energy availability. It is basicslly telling the body: "Operate as if fuel and oxygen availability are sufficient to sustain a higher rate of energy flux" BECAUSE THEY ARE. Because ypu are micronutrient maxxing (and mitotoxin minimizzing)

If SSRIs helped your mental health, optimising methylation status may give you relief without side-effects of pharmacteucials. DNA methylation silences expression of neurotransmitter transport genes resulting in increased levels of serotonin & dopamine activity. This is oversimplified, many mental health issues can stem from overmethylation as well but it is worth looking into.

Micronutrient maxxing is actually a lot of fun. Just know that if your digestion is compromised covering intake requirements isnt enough. Its worth looking at functional markers to check if pathways utilizing specific vitamins and minerals are working optimally. Those with chronic issues likely need significantly more than RDAs. But for health optimisation purposes, it is a great skill to cover these nutritional bases with food rather than supplements.

This will rub a lot of people the wrong way but long-term tolerance to a wide range of fibres is often a marker of a healthy gut. Many will settle on elimination diets as it feels great, rather than taking the (sometimes intricate) steps of rehabilitating the gut terrain to allow reintroduction of once not tolerated foods.

Sleepy Milk Tea - For Optimal Sleep & Recovery This is my sleep milk tea recipe that I drink every now and then. It is sweet and tastes incredible (in my opinion). I dont drink it every evening, just when I feel a bit too wired. The base involves creating a very concentrated chamomile tea and mixing a small volume with gently heated milk and a teaspoon of honey. Then I add: - 5g of colostrum - 3g Taurine - 2g Glycine - 4g Myo-inositol. You can drink this with 200-600mg L-theanine and 300mg magnesium glycinate. This combination supports parasympathetic tone and GABAergic signalling.

There’s a reframe I think is crucial for anyone dealing with long-term issues. Many people remain, to varying degrees, in a state of anxious grasping for "how things used to be." Before forward momentum can be built, there’s usually a period of full acceptance required. Accepting where you are, how you are, right now. Almost like finally hitting solid ground after a long fall and finding your footing. This mental base is crucial. Building a foundation fo where you are, even if it’s not where you once were or hoped to be. Kind of like a sense of being grounded - "I’m no longer falling".

Don't underestimate how important optimal vitamin D levels are for healing the gut. It regulates the integrity of the gut barrier/permeability/leaky gut. Increases tight junctions. Vitamin D plays a role in the innate immune system. It upregulates intestinal alkaline phosphatases which helps to detox endotoxins like LPS. Also got antimicrobial peptides like cathelicidin. Vitmain D also regulates paneth cell function! It alters microbiome composition = more diverse, anti-inflammatory. Reduces general gut inflammation and also makes the immune system more tolerogenic, less Th1/Th17‑dominant responses.
