Muscle is harder to build than it is to maintain. In fact, with proper nutrition you should be able to maintain muscle mass without that much rigorous. exercise.

So before your natural sarcopenia (Natural muscle degradation from aging) sets in. Work your ass off to become gloriously ripped. Stupid ripped to the point that people can tell you’re ripped through your clothes.

Then coast with casual exercise and eating a species appropriate diet.

I’ve been able to add 50lbs onto my max bench press and I grew 2 inches. Probably nothing.

I like to think I coined the phrase UTXHoe(s) as the bitcoin version of a Gold Digger.

If you buy something that’s packaged in plastic that says “BPA-free”, it’s almost definitely not BPS-free which is more toxic than BPA.

Opt for glass bottles whenever possible.

From a heavy metal perspective you should avoid getting tattoos.

I don’t know which metal is in each different color, but I know that the ink used to dye your skin is loaded with heavy metals. There are numerous different metals like lead, cadmium, aluminum, and nickel to name a few.

Instead of getting a tattoo, just get ripped, tan, and beautiful instead!

Unfortunately, environmental toxicity is the most difficult to escape and yet possibly the most impactful on one’s health.

-Pesticides in the air from the mass fumigation they do to monocrops

-Aluminum leeching into the food from the pesticides breaking down the aluminum in the soil

-Brake dust floating around in the air in cities

-Cell phone towers and wifi giving off EMF’s

-Absorbtion of phthalates because everything is made of plastic

(And many others)

But luckily we have dirt (bentonite clay)!

I am convinced that at the very least given bentonite clay’s negative charge when hydrated helps with neutralizing the positive charge that EMF’s give off. Additionally, it’s extremely good at clinging to toxins which include heavy metals, aluminum (a toxic metal, but not a heavy metal), and pesticides.

I’m old enough to remember cell phones becoming more compact and commonplace and moms -with very little evidence- talking about how cell phones can cause cancer.

Mothers’ intuition was very attuned to the dangers of EMF’s.

Keep your phone out of your front pocket.

Keep it out of your chest pocket

Throw it on speaker phone or plug in some wired-headphones to takes calls.

Who is the knees over toes guy? I’ve heard of him.

Yeah they provide a solid base with zero synthetic materials + I don’t have to keep destroying my socks. I notice discomfort in my lower back much more easily now when I switch to traditional gym shoes.

Ah first time I’ve heard of that brand. I use Birkenstocks, but for more stationary lifts.

If you want to save your lower back the trouble and pull a pro-move at the same time, use kettlebell front squats to blast your legs.

The front squats alleviates the pressure on the lower back.

It also works your core simultaneously.

Bonus points if you use those mini-ramps to do the squats on a decline.

Saw someone doing back squats with those Hoka gym shoes and heavy enough weight that it was forcing them to lean forward.

Hoka gym shoes have to be the most padded gym shoes I’ve ever seen in my life, they’re basically lifts made of tempurpedic mattresses.

This combination is a disaster for your lower back.

Anyone remember that episode of The Office where Michael roasts Dwight about him brushing his teeth with butter and clay?

Dwight was ahead of his time.

Straight bentonite clay and Redmond’s salt makes for a fine toothpaste on it’s own.

Do some coconut oil pulling in addition to hedge your bet.

Just took a leap of faith by plugging my nsec into the Primal iOS client on my Mac.

It was just as magical as importing my private key into a new hardware wallet for the first time.

Hopefully I haven’t compromised myself😅

Don’t sweat it, many of us have lived a fiat-lifestyle, but there’s always opportunity for redemption.

Best of luck with your health journey, it’s done me a world of good and the second and third-order benefits only compound🤙🏽

A one or two months of no booze, eating mostly animal-based food, and consistent exercise will make it difficult to go back in any meaningful way.

Experiencing health is a one-way function.

Good: Boxers

Better: 100% cotton boxers

Best: No underwear w/ 100% linen shorts. (unless you’ve de-plasti-ified your life, then absolutely nothing is best)

Me: “Hold on, let me put on my sunblock”

*throws on 100% linen shirt and a hat*

Woah really? I’ve always thought of espresso as a concentrated coffee thinking it had more caffeine on an oz-for-oz basis… Can you explain the 19” of contact with water vs 25”?

If I’m not mistaken I believe the first instance of “Bulletproof Coffee” was a fermented black tea mixed with yak butter.

Additionally I’ve heard of African tribe chewing on coffee beans for energy, but covering it in pork fat when they consume it.

So this may be one of those things where caffeine stand alone isn’t preferable, but when properly prepared you can mitigate most -if not all- of the negative impacts.

#coffeechain

There is an equal amount of literature on caffeine being good for you and caffeine being bad for you. So my approach is cautious moderation.

My initial thought is that caffeine has Lindy behind it.

However, I know allowing the body to use this as a crutch for energy is never a good thing and caffeine is a natural insecticide which can be damaging to the gut lining.

I drink a small amount, no more than a cup and a half in a day. No more than a single espresso shot if I’m having espresso.

I always consume as early in the day as possible so as to not disrupt sleep.

I almost always consume it after a meal.

I almost always cut it with a fat and a carb. Raw milk or preferably affogato with a scoop of raw milk ice cream.

And I sure as hell DO NOT drink it out of a plastic lined cup.

#coffechain ☕️

Throw a pinch of Redmond’s salt in your coffee grounds.

It cuts the acidity.

Eating foods that follow The Lindy Principle is crucial.

Pura Vida🌞

Choose the right foods.

Prepare them properly.

Eat them in the right proportions relative to each other.
