@RyanLawhead @navdeezi @mistressdivy Agreed unless you can pay the house off FAST like less than 10 years fast. A run down house way under budget > renting

@nerjiyullahi I see so many people destroying their long-term health by pretending everything is fine when it isn’t. Keeping the peace by swallowing your emotions leads to chronic stress, poor sleep, emotional eating, and a nervous system stuck in overdrive

@sageXLJ It’s makes it waaaay easier but nah. $200-$300gets you a membership at a gym, food for the month and 180g protein a day

Shit don’t matter in life besides your close circle and work as a man IMO. It takes discipline and NO shiny object syndrome. The past few years have taught me so much about life. Shit is WORK but fun!

One of the most critical steps in reducing microplastic exposure is avoiding the heating of plastics.
For example, adding boiling water to a plastic bottle can increase the leaching of BPA, a plastic-associated xenoestrogen, by up to 55 times.

Heat accelerates oxidation, causing plastics to release microplastics faster. A hot coffee in a plastic-lined paper to-go cup is an avoidable source of BPA, BPS, and phthalates.

This is part of my personal microplastics strategy, which I call imperfect avoidance.
We can take simple steps to minimize exposure by removing or reducing the 'worst offenders.'

First, avoid heating plastic altogether—even those 'microwave-safe' containers designed to prevent melting, not leaching.
A recent study showed microwaving food in plastic can release over 4 million microplastic particles into food in minutes. Opt for glass or ceramic instead.

Cut back on canned drinks and canned foods and opt for fresh when possible.
One study found consuming soup from a can for 5 days led to a 1,200% increase in urinary BPA levels compared to those who consumed the same amount of fresh soup.

Even 'BPA-free' cans, including sodas, are lined with plastic that contains BPS, another endocrine disruptor that may not be any safer than BPA.

If you're filtering tap water, use a reverse osmosis filter with stainless steel storage to avoid reintroducing microplastics.
My new episode on microplastics and their impact on our health is a critical conversation—especially for pregnant women, babies, and adolescents—most vulnerable to endocrine disruption during key developmental stages.

While we can't eliminate microplastics' ubiquitous and pervasive presence, we can reduce opportunities for accelerated bioaccumulation and exposure, often with minimal inconvenience to ourselves.

Resistance training can have long-term benefits that last years. Even if you later quit.

Just one year of high-intensity resistance training can preserve leg strength in older adults for three years after stopping—even as muscle mass declines.
This surprising resilience suggests that the benefits of strength training extend far beyond muscle size, creating lasting neuromuscular adaptations that keep you strong long after the workouts end.

In contrast, those who engaged in moderate-intensity training (body weight) or did not exercise experienced significant losses in both strength and functionality within the three years after training stopped.

This suggests that resistance training could be crucial for maintaining muscular functionality later in life, perhaps due to lasting increases in neuromuscular components like acetylcholine receptors — an idea sometimes referred to as “muscle memory.”

Dr. Layne Norton (@biolayne) dives deep into these surprising findings in episode 94 of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

@FinCreighton How much do you find excessive weight has to do with knee pain?
