Cortisol isn't just a stress hormone.
It kills testosterone, fuels stubborn belly fat, and wrecks your sleep.

Here are 9 natural ways to lower your cortisol starting today (share this)🧵
1. Cold exposure
Let’s start with a truth most people miss:
Cortisol isn’t the enemy.
It’s excessive, unregulated cortisol that wrecks your brain, sleep, and fat-burning capacity.
Fix that, and your body stops thinking it’s in a war zone.

Cold shocks the body... but in the right dose, it retrains cortisol regulation.
- Builds stress resilience
- Lowers baseline cortisol over time
- Spikes dopamine 250% (sustained)
Try 30sec-1min at the end of your shower 3-5x a week (not a frozen lake).

Dread before social situations
It’s not “introversion.”
It’s your nervous system running an old risk calculation:
“If I’m fully myself, I could lose connection.”
So your body goes into threat mode—before you even walk in.
Ignore this, and the next signs get harder to miss…

That pause isn’t shyness.
It’s protection.
Your system learned early:
Truth can cost love.
So it tries to keep you safe by silencing you first.
Once your body treats honesty like danger, what do you do?

In today’s Vatnik Soup, we’ll introduce the International Olympic Committee (IOC) @Olympics . It’s mostly known for organizing sporting events, and for being supposed to foster the Olympic ideal while actually submitting to dictators.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) was founded in 1894 in Paris by Pierre de Coubertin with a noble goal: promote peace through sports. Politics out, sportsmanship in: sounds great in theory.
2/15

But in practice, the IOC has a long history of accommodating authoritarian regimes, always in the name of “neutrality,” “dialogue,” and “keeping sports separate from politics”, usually not in a particularly consistent or moral way.

The Map of Hunger (1770–1947).
We are often told that the British gave India railways and telegraphs. The data tells a different story. They gave us 31 major famines in 120 years.
We visualised the geography of mass starvation under the British Raj.
This wasn't "Bad Weather." It was Policy.

The Early Holocaust (1770–1792)
The arrival of the East India Company marked the beginning of mass death.
• Great Bengal Famine (1770): 10 million dead (1/3rd of the population wiped out).
• Chalisa Famine (1783): 11 million dead across North India.
• Skull Famine (1791): 11 million dead in the Deccan.
32 million lives extinguished in just three decades.
This was the cost of "Company Rule."

The "Free Market" Genocides (1876–1900)
The infographic highlights the Great Famine (1876-78) in the South and the Indian Famine (1896-1902).
Death Toll: ~16 Million.
The cause? While Indians starved, the British exported record amounts of grain to London.
Viceroy Lytton famously blocked relief efforts, citing "market interference."

Mr Justice Swift endorsed the EHRC update as an accurate statement of the law for employers & service providers.
The update says service providers and employers can only provide lawful separate sex facilities based on sex, and suggested where possible they offer a unisex alternative.
GLP was judged not to have standing as it lacked “sufficient interest”. The anonymous claimants did have standing, and so their substantive arguments were considered.
Worth watching. The rate of change is still accelerating.

because as the World splits into competing geopolitical blocs, both Great Powers are dropping the facade of fair & equal competition among equal nations. Instead, both are openly wielding real power, and aren't acting like equal partners of the weaker nations.

2/ The Financial Statement Deep Dive
Every hedge fund manager reads financial statements. Now you can too:
"You are a senior equity research analyst at a top-tier investment bank. Cite every financial metric with its exact source (SEC filing, earnings report, or financial database) and reporting date. Do not estimate any numbers. If a metric is unavailable, state that clearly instead of guessing.
Analyze the most recent financial statements for [COMPANY NAME / TICKER].
Step 1 — Income Statement Analysis:
→ Revenue for last 4 quarters with exact figures and YoY growth rates
→ Gross margin, operating margin, and net margin for each quarter
→ Trend direction: Are margins expanding, stable, or compressing? By how much?
→ R&D spend as a percentage of revenue (if applicable)
Step 2 — Balance Sheet Health:
→ Total assets vs. total liabilities
→ Current ratio and quick ratio
→ Cash and short-term investments on hand
→ Total debt and debt maturity schedule (when is debt due?)
→ Goodwill as a percentage of total assets (flag if >30%)
Step 3 — Cash Flow Reality Check:
→ Operating cash flow (TTM)
→ Capital expenditures (TTM)
→ Free cash flow (TTM) and FCF margin
→ How they're spending cash: buybacks, dividends, acquisitions, debt repayment, R&D
→ Is cash flow growing or declining vs. previous year?
Step 4 — Red Flags (check each one explicitly):
→ Revenue growing but cash flow declining? ⚠️
→ Debt growing faster than revenue? ⚠️
→ Accounts receivable growing faster than revenue? ⚠️
→ Inventory buildup without revenue growth? ⚠️
→ Frequent one-time charges or adjusted earnings that differ significantly from GAAP? ⚠️
→ Auditor changes or qualified opinions? ⚠️
Step 5 — Green Flags:
→ Improving margins quarter over quarter
→ Growing free cash flow
→ Decreasing debt or increasing cash reserves
→ Consistent GAAP and non-GAAP earnings alignment
Step 6 — Competitive Context:
→ Compare all key margins and ratios to the company's top 3 competitors in a table
End with a plain English summary: What story are these financials telling? Is this company getting healthier or weaker? Use a table format with clear column headers and cite the source of every number."
