90% of the soldiers on the first boats to hit the beach didn't live to see the end of the day. Look at those faces. Some of them never made it to 18.

Never forget that they paid the ultimate price for our freedom. We live our lives the way we do because of them.

God bless this guy, Oasis has saved me countless times from putting awful things in/on my body that I never would’ve known about if it wasn’t for that app. Hard to imagine life without it now.

@cvcwellness Just curious, thanks for sharing

@thegarybrecka is this true?

Almonds are an environmental catastrophe.

People hear that and assume you mean in some abstract, projected, 2050 kind of way.

No. Present tense. Happening now. Today, while someone posts about their oat-and-almond-milk morning ritual and refers to it as 'conscious consumption.'

- 1.1 trillion gallons of water used annually in California alone
- 1,900 gallons required to produce a single pound of almonds
- 10% of California's entire water supply consumed during historic drought conditions
- Approximately 50 billion bees killed per year from pesticide and fungicide exposure during mass pollination events
- Entire Central Valley sections converted to monoculture desert requiring permanent irrigation infrastructure
- Fungicide cocktails applied during February bloom, peak bee vulnerability, routinely implicated in colony collapse
- Almonds provide essentially no complete protein, moderate oxalate load, and require industrial processing to make palatable
- Virtually every almond ever eaten has been shipped internationally at least once

The person drinking almond milk in a reusable cup is, on balance, responsible for the deaths of more living creatures before 9am than a British beef farmer manages in a fortnight.

But the cow breathed out, so.

Microplastics aren’t coming… they’re already in your bloodstream.

They’ve been found in human blood, lungs, even placental tissue, and most people are adding more every single day without realizing it.

Plastic water bottles.
Takeout containers.
Heated food in plastic.

Heat + plastic = chemical leaching straight into your body.

If you want to lower your exposure:
1. Drink from glass or stainless steel
2. Stop microwaving plastic
3. Filter your water

This is not good.

“Everywhere chemicals” leaching from plastics may have contributed to 1.97 million preterm births and 74,000 newborn deaths worldwide in one year (2018), with an estimated 6.69 million years of life lost.

Born at 28 weeks. The child faces:
7x the risk of hearing impairment
5x the risk of vision abnormalities
3x the odds of dental enamel defects
2x the odds of developmental delay

Previous U.S. analysis found that prenatal phthalate exposure was associated with increased preterm birth risk. Mothers in the highest 10% of DEHP exposure had about a 50% higher chance of preterm birth than those in the lowest 10%, and phthalates were linked to about 56,595 preterm births in the US in 2018.

"Everywhere chemicals" are phthalate derivatives added to plastics to make them softer, they leach into the environment and into food, where they have been linked to health risks including birth and developmental disruptions.

These chemicals have been associated with inflammation, endocrine and metabolic disruption, and in pregnant women may disrupt placental and maternal-fetal pathways, which could contribute to preterm birth sometimes.

Preterm birth is linked to a dramatically higher risk of newborn death: one large study found nearly 16 fold higher neonatal mortality versus term birth, and a global meta analysis estimated that 8% of babies born preterm die within the first 28 days, rising to 40% in extremely preterm infants.

Phthalates (especially DEHP) exposure damages adults too, with those in the highest third of exposure showing 42% increased all-cause mortality compared to being in the lowest third.

Like most young men, the standard for the way I approached everything in my life was always set by my dad. His ability to enact kindness and fortitude, resilience, and courage all at once have been unparalleled by any one else I have known. The other people in my life that I look up to closely resemble many of the same qualities that I have witnessed from him. Many people know that he was a great wrestler, but for those unaware he was a:

2x NCAA All-American
NCAA Finalist
Olympic Alternate
13 year coach at Michigan State in the Big Ten

He is really the only reason that by about the age of 5 years old I had already decided and proclaimed that I would be a college wrestler.

It’s really exciting and cool for me to let everyone know that he will also be a full time coach at Ethos Wrestling Club this spring and summer. Not only will it make the experience very gratifying for me, I know that he has a ton to offer our athletes and their families as he built the foundation for success that my brother and I were able to find.

Looking forward to seeing you this offseason!
