@RohunJauhar Unfortunately no blood test can tell you this.

Optimal diet has a ton of components that go into it. Blood sugar, inflammation, vitamin & nutrient content, body temp, RHR.

You can test for markers for all of these, but then you have to tweak and adjust…
@RohunJauhar Best starting point IMO is getting a continuous glucose monitor from a company like @Levels so you can see what your diet is doing to your blood sugar.

Very common blind spot for most people and has a huge ROI if you learn how your body responds to different foods in that way.
@RohunJauhar @Levels I’d also consider getting one of the pricier @WellnessFX panels to see where you’re deficient for vitamins / minerals, then adjust your diet & supplements accordingly.

Don’t worry about cholesterol, sex hormones, inflammation markers, etc until all other stuff is in line
@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX Oh and find a place where you can do a DEXA scan or an NBody for an accurate Body Fat % reading.

Check it every 2-4 weeks and optimize around getting that down to a reasonable target (12-15% personally, definitely below 18%), that will address a ton of other things
@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX If you wanna throw a bunch on your plate at once you could also get an @ouraring and track how different dinners affect your sleep RHR and HRV. That will tell you a ton about how your body responds to different foods.
@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX @ouraring Oh I’d get your water tested, indoor air tested, and audit anything you put on your body too.

Those are two really common areas most people are harming themselves that often get overlooked.
@RohunJauhar @Levels @WellnessFX @ouraring Eh you don’t have to actually test your air and water, just get a high end air purifier (I like the TP04) and a Berkey Water Filter or better.

Or just don’t drink tap water and get spring water (mountain valley is good I think)

Let's say an average @AxieInfinity player can earn 400-500 SLP in an 8-hour "workday."

At the current SLP price of $0.26, that's $104 - $130 per day.

That's $13 - $16.50 per hour.

So yeah if you're currently earning minimum wage in the US, you may as well quit & play Axie.
@AxieInfinity If the price goes back up to its peak of $0.40, you're making up to $25 an hour.

GG minimum wage jobs.
Like you can literally chill on your couch on a group call with friends playing a game and earn above minimum wage.

This is *incredible*

Last thread on @HoneHealth.

@Saad_Hone reached out and we’re going to talk, and I appreciate him being willing to engage with someone publicly questioning his company like this.

This thread is about how we can all work together to make this better.
My DMs have been crazy the last few days.

I was far from the only one concerned by tech influencers promoting what I see as a shady-looking testosterone company.

I heard from Founders, Angels, VCs, Employees, Peers.

But very few were willing to call them out publicly.
Which I 100% get.

I was extremely hesitant to start this fight.

And I’m an unfunded, employer-less guy who sits in his backyard writing about crypto.

There’s a big risk to calling out influencer investors.

The more I think about this the more it bothers me.

A bunch of tech influencers with no medical expertise should not be encouraging their huge followings to get on TRT.

It’s irresponsible. Borderline dangerous.
Especially when it seems like these promos were written for them with inaccurate scare tactics baked in.

30 year old men stop naturally producing “hormones”?
Like @packyM you said they rebranded because “Hone is a destination.”

It didn’t have anything to do with the awful reviews for their old brand?

Lots of talk today about men taking exogenous testosterone and a new company helping them do it.

I’ve looked into this area a decent amount and can say pretty confidently that it’s not the slam dunk it seems, and might make the problems worse.

Not something I’d ever take.
If your testosterone is low, that means something in your environment is messing up your normal hormone production.

You need to analyze your diet, lifestyle, exercise, skincare products, plastic exposure, air quality, water quality, and find the culprit.

If you supplement...
Then your body doesn't get the same signals to produce as much and your natural production will slow down FASTER.

Plus you didn't fix whatever was messing you up in the first place!

You just put a bandaid on it.

Alright, you know what, I'm done with alcohol.

It's addictive, toxic, depressing, fattening, and a big negative in my life.

If anyone *ever* sees me drinking alcohol again, I want you to tell me you're disappointed in me.
I don't have a serious problem with alcohol, but that's part of the problem.

It's disruptive enough I notice its effects, but not so disruptive that it's causing serious harm.

Which is why it's so bad: it can sneak in where a bit of drinking feels fine. But it's not fine.
Poor sleep, organ stress, extra calories, muscle repair, brain harm...

Missing years of my future kids' lives...

There are tons of downsides to continuing to consume it and no irreplaceable benefits.

Alright, so, time for a VERY painful story about how in my excitement about learning solidity yesterday I made a mistake that let someone steal $30,000 from me.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️
When you're doing Solidity development, you need some way to interface with the network to deploy contracts, the easiest way being through MetaMask.

So, mistake 1, I used my normal MetaMask account to get set up.
Then in order to deploy anything, you need to have your MetaMask seed mnemonic in your code somewhere so you can sign the deploy, etc.

For any non-crypto people: you need to put a bank password in your code.

And I used a bank account with money in it.
