Things I learnt after buying a house after 1 year and going through lots of shitty products and things and what I'd do know if I bought or build a house again:
- home assistant + their HA Green (little box that's open source to connect all your devices with Home Assistant)
- LG or Mitsubishi air conditioning in EVERY room, both cooling/heating, every unit should have its own outdoor unit, or you get annoying things like you can't cool one room and heat the other at same time! I think they're called mono splits
- xiaomi air purifier in every room, big spaces get the big purifiers, smaller rooms small ones (most air purifiers are too small for the space they're in!)
- a good smart lock, it's so good because you come home and your door auto opens (esp nice if you carry stuff)
- matic vacuum (they gave me one so I have to disclose but it's GREAT, all the Roomba and Chinese ones suck)
- unifi router with access points, outdoor extenders, cameras, doorbell, all PoE
- starlink with local fiber backup
- tesla dreamwall or other batteries sufficient to power for days (means like 4-8 batteries @ 13kwh per maybe!), then connect your freezer, fridge, stove, etc to it (heavy loads) so you can keep and cook food when shit goes down
- related get a Weber Genesis gas bbq so you can always cook food, fun with friends too
- solar panels actually sufficient to power (so like 30-50, crazy number but if you get like 15 it's just not enough?)
- pool is honestly overrated, you'll almost never use it, also lots of maintenance (we had a massive water leak with a $10,000 water bill this month, so F that)
- but u DO want a standalone jacuzzi, that's nice, with lights!
- if you care about safety get steel doors with massive locks for other rooms, and make those safe rooms, so if someone comes in you have multiple layers of security
- also get weapons to defend you and your family where legally possible!
- garden should be permaculture kinda concept with vegetables, herbs and stuff you can grow to eat, like strawberries, rosemary etc
- harvia dry sauna, and if outside, add a little changing room to it so you don't exit in the cold outside!
- related, build a home gym, get a big power rack with cables, free barbell, smith barbell, everything built in, and then some dumbbells and kettlebells, and a gym bike like concept2, maybe concept2 rowing machine too, with that you can do almost anything to stay fit! then hire personal trainer to come to your house or you will never go!
- ALL lights should be changeable to red at night, via home assistant, so you can make everything red at 10pm for sleep!
- also get outdoor lights for fun and security (burglars hate lights)
- ALL windows black out blinds on outside, for both security and just NO light during sleep
- when you're not sleeping, get lots of sunlight, big floor to ceiling glass windows, it's great!
- all doors to outside flat on floor level, no stepover edges (like in PT)
- preferrably lots of land around your house so you're not close to any neighbors (neighbors are always annoying even if they're nice!)
- fellow water kettle, fellow ode 2 coffee grinder
- sofas, other interior, make sure to find natural materials, 99% of interior is polyester/plastic
- LG makes the best TVs, end of story, but their software is shit and spies on you, NEVER connect them to the internet/WiFi, instead buy an Apple TV box and connect that, that doesn't spy on you and has no ads, then connect it with HDMI and you're good, also no annoying LG TV updates
- re: TVs, people show these formulas of like blalba distance to sofa from tv is N meter so now you need 60", in my experience they always sell you a TV like 10-15" too small, we had 77" LG TV and it was like diving into the screen, beautiful, but then we followed the formula and changed it for 65", not the same! get bigger!
- get a VERY big bed, 2m wide by 2m long at least, get natural bed sheets/duvet and seperate duvet from partner, the less you wake up when your partner moves the better
- guest rooms are a bad idea, it's annoying to have friends and family IN your house for weeks or a month, good luck trying to have SEX! better get a small house or apt near for them or put them in airbnb!!!
- add a delivery box outside ur house so delivery people can put packages inside without having to ring your doorbell 10x per day
- get a $500 mini projector and big projection screen outside (or a white wall) so you can have movie nights outside w friends
Sauna is one of the most effective health protocols I've done. Here is everything I've learned; it's the most robust characterization ever produced.
Results:
1) Fifteen sessions of sauna dramatically reduced environmental toxins in my body:
+ 65% drop in 2,4-D
+ 100% drop in MEP
+ 15% drop in MBP
+ 100% drop in MEHP (undetectable post sauna)
+ 56% drop in NAPR
+ 56% drop in HEMA
+ 100% drop in Perchlorate (undetectable post sauna)
2. Sauna eliminated 85% of microplastics from my ejaculate.
Nov 2024:
165 particles/mL
July 2025: 20 particles/mL
Nearly identical drop in my blood same time period:
Oct 2024: 70 particles/mL
May 2025: 10 particles/mL
3. Sauna, without ice on the boys, devastated my fertility markers.
Total Motile Count: โ56%
Concentration: โ30%
Motility: โ50%
Morphology: โ48%
Count: โ9%
4. Sauna coincided with my fertility markers being at an all-time high. I have more total and motile sperm than 99.6% of men of any age, including men under 25.
+ total count: 600 M
+ concentration: 162 M
+ motility: 55%
+ total motile count: 330M
+ morphology (normal): 10%
We do not know what to make of these improvements. Was it the sauna? Sauna + ice? Ice only? We don't know but we did not identify any other protocols or lifestyle changes during this interval that would plausibly account for the change.
5. My vascular function improved by a ten year reduction in age. Now I have the vascular age of an elite 18-early 20s.
+ Central Systolic Blood Pressure: 96 mmHg
+ Central Pulse Pressure: 20 mmHg
+ Pulse Pressure Amplification: 160%
+ SEVR: 227%
+ Augmentation Pressure: 1 mmHg
+ Augmentation Index Wave: 3%
+ Traditional blood pressure: 107/75 mmHg
6. What type of sauna?
Use a dry sauna with high temperatures between 80-100ยฐC (176 to 212ยฐF) and 5-20% relative air humidity. Aim for the lower end of this spectrum, especially as a beginner. Higher temperatures closer to the boiling point can cause side effects like headaches and severely dried nose and eyes.
Note: Steam baths, hot tubs, and infrared saunas fail to replicate the same effects because they do not allow you to safely reach the required high temperatures and do not induce the same level of sweating, the necessary inverted (skin-to-core) temperature gradient, and the massive re-direction of blood to the skin with resulting vasodilation.
Dry sauna is unique, and very likely superior to wet (steam bath) and infrared saunas. By heating up your skin way faster than your core, dry hot sauna flips your core skin temperature gradient, eliciting the following hormetic benefits:
+ enhanced blood flow: the heart pumps up to 70% more blood, similar to intense aerobic exercise (zone 2-+ increased sweating for detoxification: to maintain a stable core temperature, the skin produces 0.6-1 liter of sweat per hour, facilitating significant detoxification.
+ improved heat tolerance: the body becomes better at handling heat, leading to a lower core body temperature (offering metabolic advantages)
+ safe activation of heat shock proteins: the skin experiences substantial heat shock protein activation, while a modest 1ยฐC increase in core temperature is sufficient to activate these proteins without the risk of hyperthermia.
+ extended Exposure at higher temperatures: dry saunas are more tolerable for longer durations and at higher temperatures, maximizing the benefits.
7. Sauna protocol and frequency
Type: hot dry sauna
Temperature: 176โ212ยฐF ( I do 200ยฐF)
Relative air humidity: very low, 5-20%
Duration: 20 min
Frequency: 4โ7x a week
8. Heat Protection
If you'd like, you can protect your head from the heat by wearing a sauna hat or wrapping it with a towel (use only cotton or other 100% natural material). You can breathe through a towel or cloth if needed to protect your nose. I am personally fine not doing this.
Most importantly, ice the balls.
Icing the testicles is absolutely required to prevent heat from damaging fertility markers.
+ Ice the testes during the sauna session.
+ Use a non-toxic, reusable ice pack material.
+ Wear cotton boxers and shorts.
+ Place ice packs in between the boxers and shorts.
+ Keep them in place for the entire session.
Men should care about preserving fertility markers even when they are not trying to conceive. Sperm quality is tightly coupled to testicular function, which governs testosterone production, metabolic health, and long term endocrine stability. When fertility parameters decline, the same upstream dysfunction often drives lower testosterone, higher inflammation, and increased cardiometabolic risk.
9. Hydration
Dry sauna induces sweating as part of its beneficial mechanism. Be sure to hydrate properly. In general, you might need to rehydrate with up to 16โ32 oz (0.5โ1 L) of fluid after a sauna session. Be sure to add electrolytes.
If you want to be precise, measure your sweat amount and electrolytes (saltiness) using a patch (e.g., from Gatorade) to quantify your liquid and electrolyte loss, and rehydrate accordingly. Some people have saltier sweat than others and must ensure they replenish electrolytes as well as water.
My results: my body sweats 18 oz during a 20 min sauna at 200 ยฐF, with a sodium concentration of 25-39 mg/oz. A single sauna session flushes 450โ700 mg of sodium out of my body.

I wish you all the best in life my friend. A new era or being human is here. One where existence is the highest virtue. Prioritize sleep, daily exercise and eat well and you'll be in a strong position. Try to avoid the bad stuff. Anything that takes away your agency.
Be a warrior and caretaker of existence. Don't Die.
