If sunlight is so bad for you, why do the majority of people think we look better with a tan?

Borrowing tomorrow’s happiness today (eventually the bank account runs dry): -alcohol -porn -doom scrolling -marijuana -video games -junk food -nicotine How to make deposits to the bank account: -deep work/ attending / “raw dogging” -meditation -movement -human connection without tech -nature -discipline -single ingredient foods, including animal meat/organs What’s the balance in your “happiness” bank account?

For the purposes of this, assume the "tan" is not overdone or orange spray tan weirdness. We are talking a reasonable tan vs no tan here. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Do NOT buy “natural” peanut butter in a grocery store. Your “natural” peanut butter is likely rancid. (PMC4711438) At 77 degrees F, the peroxide value (PV) of natural PB (with oil separation) can be 70 meq/kg within 2.5 months. This is quite high and a clear indication of rancidity. For comparison, the gold standard with fish oil (which quickly goes rancid) is <5 meq/kg. These are 10-15x those levels. Most peanut butters have a “shelf-life” of 12-18 months. Let that sink in. The natural peanut butter you are eating has likely been sitting on the shelf for FAR longer than 2.5 months. That oil at the top, that’s peanut oil, and it’s almost certainly rancid and causing oxidative stress/inflammation in your body when you eat it. If you want to eat “natural” peanut butter, start with organic peanuts, grind them yourself, store in the fridge and use within 2 weeks.

Botox in the face may reduce orgasm intensity in women, and it can affect depression scores depending on where you get injected. (PMID 30283017) 36 women: 24 got actual Botox and 12 got other cosmetic treatments as controls. A significant drop in the orgasm domain for the Botox group was found on the Female Sexual Function Index. No change in the controls. "Reducing the ability to make the facial expressions associated with sexual pleasure leads to a reduction in the reported feeling of pleasure associated with it. The results suggest that the facial expressions do not occur simply to communicate pleasure to a partner but they are an integral part of the feeling of pleasure and are important in the process of achieving orgasm." The results for depression went in two different directions: Injecting the crow's feet (laugh lines) worsened depression scores. Injecting the glabellar frown lines improved them. Small sample size, and these findings haven't been replicated or refuted yet. I still think this is enough to make you think twice about Botox in the upper face, especially frown lines, crow's feet, and laugh lines. More research is needed, but this is pretty concerning.

“Looksmaxing” is evolutionary selection. Historically, a wide jaw, clear skin, symmetrical face, healthy teeth and gums, and a strong, capable physique all signaled optimal fertility and health. These traits were built through a diet rich in animal foods, with their unique nutrients like K2, B12, choline, creatine, retinol, zinc, and collagen, plus a life of daily movement outdoors. Ironically, today looksmaxing has been co-opted into a grotesque race to an impossible standard, with zero regard for fertility and health—the very things it historically had at its core. Sad, really.

This is why I do what I do…

Why are so many people struggling with infertility?

This can’t be good 😳

Texas Roadhouse “butter” is mostly butter flavor, soybean oil, palm oil and emulsifiers/stabilizers. Don’t be fooled.

Raw leafy greens are FAR more dangerous than raw milk. Before you freak out, look at these numbers... Raw leafy greens: 32 lbs per person per year leafy greens consumed by Americans (USDA). 90g/serving = 161 servings per year per person. 330 million Americans x 161 servings/year = 53B servings of leafy greens per year in the US. 2.3 million cases of foodborne illness from leafy greens (CDC data). = 1 illness per 23,000 servings/year. Raw Milk: 14.4 million raw milk drinkers in US (4.4% of US population). 3.3 million "frequent/regular" raw milk consumers. 3.3 m x 52 servings/year (1 per week avg) = 171.6 million servings (lowball). 120-300 cases foodborne illness from raw milk (CDC data). = 1 illness per 572,000 servings raw milk. This means that eating raw leafy greens is 25x more dangerous than raw milk on an illness/serving basis. Should raw leafy greens be illegal? No, but we need to be honest about the relative risks here. Why drink raw milk in the first place? There are multiple studies that show raw milk (vs pasteurized) is associated with lower rates of asthma, eczema, and allergies (PMIDs: 31770653, 22146591, 34472138, 30813365). Raw milk also increases lactobacillus populations in the gut ( PMID 32438623), is associated with improved lung function into adulthood (PMC5758444). Does raw milk carry a risk of illness? Yes, as do ALL raw foods - raw leafy greens, raw fish, and other raw vegetables. Sourcing for raw milk is critical if you choose to drink it. And no, drinking raw milk does not make you conservative, this has nothing to do with your politics. This is about honest consideration of a (incorrectly) vilified food that humans have consumed for thousands of years.

This therapy may be able to reverse alpha-gal syndrome, aka tick induced meat allergy... Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) uses acupuncture in the ear, a single needle placed for 3-4, weeks to help the immune system "reset." Western medicine isn't really sure how it works but there's some evidence that it's quite effective. (PMID 35003502) 126 patients treated, 121 (96%) reported symptom remission. More studies are needed, but this is compelling data. Red meat (beef, lamb, venison) and dairy + collagen are incredibly nutrient-rich foods that are vital for optimal health. Not being able to eat these is a big deal. I hope this therapy is studied more widely and this information gets to those who are suffering with alpha-gal. Please share if you know someone who has this issue.

You crave garbage food because you eat garbage food. Stop eating garbage food and those cravings will go away. Being healthy is easier than you think.
