We seem to have completely forgotten that a quality diet entails more than just macronutrients or "cutting out carbs"...

Nutrients and minerals are critical to health & most people are deficient in many of them.

Here are some common deficiencies...
Vitamin A retinol: skin health, steroid hormone production
Zinc: immune system, gut health...
Copper: ATP synthesis and iron recycling
Magnesium: over 400 enzymes, including relaxation & de-stressing
B1: neurotransmitters & converting carbs to fuel
B2: converting fats to fuel & methylation
B3: NAD production
B6: amino acid metabolism and methylation
B7: skin, hair, nails, energy production
B9: DNA methylation & cell division
B12: mood & cognitive function
Choline: neurotransmitter synthesis
Creatine: energy production in muscles & brain
Vitamin E: antioxidant
Iodine: thyroid hormone conversion
Selenium: metabolism, reproduction & thyroid function
Genital Sunning: beauty, immune system, cognitive function

The sunlight is a miracle, forgotten health cure...

It is the source of all life on earth and one of the most powerful ways to improve your mood, health and attractiveness.

Our modern society is the only one in history that has feared the sun as much as we do and it shows.
Attempting to block the sun with creams that actually cause the disease, epitomizes how backwards our society is.

If we want to restore health & humanity, we need to restore our relationship with the sun...

Here's why....
Throughout history, humans have worshipped the sun as anything from a conscious God to the most important healer.

Ancient Greek Physicians often prescribed solar therapy, and ancient egyptians built the city of Heliopolis to worship the sun

Hard truths men need to hear:

#1: Quit your desk job immediately. It is crushing your soul and ruining your health.
#2. Women aren't tools to cure your loneliness. Stop having casual sex. Find a loving partner, commit to her, and start a family.
#3. Not everything that happens around you is your fault. But you should take 100% responsibility for it all.

REWIRE YOUR BRAIN AND CHANGE YOUR LIFE…A Thread

Feeling stuck? Change starts with changing your consciousness.

This is a long one, but understanding this will change your life in incredible ways.
How can you get anything you want in life?

Your beliefs.

But this isn’t just positive mindset in the traditional sense.

Merely thinking positive thoughts will DO nothing and can even do harm.

Why?

Because your subconscious runs the show.
Your positive affirmations are too superficial and can’t actually change your behavior.

Before I get too woo woo, let me explain a bit more

The world is extremely sick.

There's an opioid epidemic
Millions are dying from heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration
Smoking kills 100s of thousands

Nobody is freaking out

Yet for some reason coronavirus caused the whole world to shutdown

I finally figured out why
Why are people allowed to guzzle canola oil, smoke cigs, and fester away homeless on the streets?

Yet we mobilize TRILLIONS for a pandemic that kills a small fraction of people?
Sure, it's contagious, but that cant be the whole story

I'm not saying that we shouldn't have responded to coronavirus.

The bigger question is why we haven't responded to all of these other issues that could SAVE MILLIONS?

I just figured it out

ELECTION & THE GOOD LIFE THOUGHTS

Why does this election seem more contentious than ever?

And what does it mean?

This election was very important for some policy reasons...

But also because it reveals the incoherent mess that morality has become
A coherent vision of the good life has collapse and as a result we've been left with the moral shambles of a lost past...

Both sides will have a hard time coming to terms with the election results no matter what happens because of the moral islands each side lives on.
A functioning principality requires shared axiomatic assumptions.

You can have disagreement, but you need to first agree on what game you're playing.

For instance, two football teammates can disagree on what play to run but still come to terms after what the coach calls

HPA AXIS DYSFUNCTION & BREATHWORK

HPA axis dysfunction is a pervasive problem. It is linked to

- Depression
- Autoimmune conditons
- Sex hormone imbalances
- Diabetes
- IBS
- Anxiety
- Cardiovascular disease

Here's what it is and some ways to tackle it.
The HPA axis describes the connection between the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and adrenal gland.

They regulate the stress response, mood, digestion, the immune system and energy.

So yes, pretty much everything. Image
The HPA axis functions as a feedback loop.

Stress is not inherently bad and your body needs it in acute doses.

But during HPA axis dysfunction, it NEVER shuts off.

This leads to major neurotransmitter imbalances and people who are perpetually on edge & triggered
