Please, please, please, focus on YOURSELF! It doesn't matter what other people are doing, thinking, saying, wearing. ALL THAT MATTERS is YOU. FOCUS ON YOURSELF. On your life. On your career. On your relationship with YOURSELF. Seriously, become your own best friend, your own hero. Because nobody will come and save you. Nobody but YOURSELF.
People will judge you for failing.
People will judge you for succeeding.
People will judge you for not trying.
Criticism is guaranteed.
So you might as well get criticized for going after what you want.
Don't make yourself small for anyone. Be the awkward, funny, intelligent, beautiful little weirdo that you are. Don't hold back. Weird it out. Be the glitch.
meditate on the breath.
meditate on the body.
meditate on the emotions.
meditate on the scenery.
meditate on the meal.
meditate on the TV.
meditate on the feed.
meditate on the conversation.
meditate on everything.

Self doubt is part of life.
Every person, even the people you admire most doubt themselves.
The secret is to do it anyway and to not expect to be fully confident when trying anything new.
"The only constant is change"
If you're not progressing, you're going backward.
The most dangerous thing you can get yourself into is being stuck in a time loop.
Where days are just copies of one another and your ambition and joy die of boredom and repetition.
Don't lose sight of your goals, don't stop progressing.
Stagnation is decay, the world won't wait for you.
It doesn't wait for anyone.
You're constantly competing with everyone.
If you're not getting smarter, stronger and richer.
You're getting dumber, weaker and poorer.
Every.
Single.
Day.
Don't get stuck in loops.
Stop waiting for a "life-changing" experience to turn your life around.
What you need is a life-changing decision, a conscious one.
Discipline doesn't fall from the sky, you create it yourself.
There is no point in waiting for things to happen.
You need to make it happen.
When I wanted my life to change, I changed how I spoke. Who I spoke to. What I listened to. How I spent my time. Who I spent my time with.
Before that though, I had to declutter my mind and with that came a decluttering of my company and my pastimes.
I had to change my mind.
Many skin issues start in the gut.
Common issues like dysbiosis, inflammation, immune dysregulation, malabsorption & permeability can manifest as skin issues.
Psoriasis, rosacea, eczema, atopic dermatitis & other similar issues are often linked to these gut disruptions.
I ignored my symptoms of poor gut health for years and ended up with an autoimmune disease.
Years of following advice from traditional healthcare only made things worse.
If I could go back in time, here’s how I’d approach things differently.

10 warning signs you have nutrient deficiencies
Nutrient deficiencies are more common than you think
Not only have we replaced whole foods with processed garbage that drains you of precious vitamins & minerals
But the soil where crops are grown is also depleted
Pesticide use & unsustainable mono-crop agriculture are to blame
These practices destroy soil microbiome diversity & affects the transfer of nutrients from the soil into your food
Many crops are genetically modified to grow large & ward off pests
They look perfect on the outside but end up being tasteless & devoid of much of its nutrition
Your food’s nutrient density has dropped
It's estimated that nutrients in your food are down over 38% since the 1950s
You might be eating all the good stuff but it often isn't enough to keep you thriving
One of the main culprits is the liberal spraying of glyphosate on crops
When you eat these foods, this chemical acts as an antibiotic in your gut
Your gut health is destroyed due to high consumption of these frankenfoods
Your gallbladder & liver are overworked trying to clear out these toxins which makes it harder to digest & absorb what you eat (aka malabsorption)
It’s a recipe for many future health disasters
With that being said, properly nourishing yourself these days takes strategy
Your body gives you physical signs when something’s off but they often go unnoticed
Let’s dive deeper into what you should look out for:
1- Red bumps on skin
Also known as keratosis pillaris, this skin condition happens because your body struggles to produce collagen
Your collagen production needs:
Magnesium
Vitamin C
Vitamin A
Copper also helps the proteins of your skin collagen keep their structure
Healthy structure = healthy skin
Inflammation causes these bumps
If you’re eating processed foods, then you probably have a lot of omega 6
You need more omega-3s in your diet
Foods to eat to correct your deficiencies:
Cod
Salmon
Beef liver
Bone broth
Sardines/mackerel/anchovies
2 - Overthinking/Irritability
An overactive mind & unbalanced mood is a sign your body is burning out
High stress and not eating right will throw your brain out of whack
It doesn’t have to be your destiny
Mood challenges and overthinking might mean you lack B vitamins
Particularly Thiamine (Vitamin B1) which will help chill you out
Parasites may also be a reason your mood is off
Foods to eat:
Nutritional yeast
Game meats
Seafood
Raw milk
Supplementing with methylated B complex or inositol works great too
3- Craving salty foods
You probably know someone who craves salty food
We’re all told to avoid salt like the plague and that’s why your body ends up demanding it at some point
Salty food cravings are a sign of sodium deficiency
Some evidence shows it can be because of low zinc levels which cause you to lose your sense of taste
Foods to eat:
Add unrefined sea salt to all your meals
Game meats
Beef liver
Oysters
4- Nightmares
You should be dreaming every night
Not having any means your sleep isn’t as deep and recuperative
Nightmares on the other hand are a sign your stress is out of control
Nightmares happen when a part of your brain called the amygdala is hyper-stimulated
This is because your magnesium and B vitamin levels are low, especially thiamine (B1) and pyridoxine (B6)
Start eating in a way to help boost these vital b vitamins & short circuit your stress response
Foods to eat:
Salmon
Beef liver
Nutritional yeast
All kinds of meats
Supplement benfotiamine or a methylated b complex
5- White spots/ridges on the nail
Your nails say a lot about you
Many of you end up depleting your zinc & B vitamin reserves due to a diet high in refined carbs &low in nutrient-dense foods
Low zinc = White spots
Low B vitamins/Vitamin A = Vertical ridges
Biotin is believed to play an essential role in keeping your nails at their best
Foods to eat:
Beef liver
Game meats
Oysters (zinc)
Nutritional yeast
6- Muscle cramps
Muscle contractions rely on mineral balance but with all the fear-mongering going on with salt
Many of you steer away from an essential element in your diet
Salts (also known as electrolytes) contain minerals such as:
Magnesium
Potassium
Sodium
All of them work in a fine balance to keep your every cell in your body healthy
Muscle cramps are a sign your minerals are off
Probably Magnesium since we burn through so much of it
Could be Sodium/potassium too
Foods to eat:
Coconut/spring water
Leafy greens
Sea salt
Pickle juice
Quality electrolyte supplements should have all 3 with no added sugars
7- Asthma
Breathing problems is an SOS something is off
Not being able to adequately intake oxygen puts stress on your brain
This is caused by the inflammation in your lungs triggered by your immune system
Asthma is a lung allergic reaction
Your immune system is accidentally attacking you
One of the best ways to boost immunity is making sure you have optimal Vitamin D levels
Spend more time outside
The sun (within reason) is your friend
Low Vitamin C can also make allergies worse
But you have to heal the gut to rebalance your immune system especially if parasites or mold are in the picture
Foods to eat:
Citrus fruits
Fermented foods
NAC, Quercetin and Bromelain can help relieve asthma symptoms
8 - Hair loss
80% of men and 50% of women will experience hair loss
Genetics gets all of the blame but this doesn’t mean your lifestyle isn’t playing a role
Chronic high stress (cortisol) & unbalanced hormones are a nightmare for hair loss
Research shows that low/dysregulated iron is definitely present
Low Zinc, Vitamin B3 and B7 (biotin) are also key factors in hair loss
Eating right and better managing stress/hormone levels are therefore essential
Foods to eat:
Fish
Liver
Meat
Oysters
Strongly consider Red light therapy too
9- Swollen feet
Much more common as you get older, swollen feet are a sign your minerals are off
This is due to a poor Western diet and nutrient deficiencies caused by daily medication use
Processed sugars are messing you up
They drain your body of potassium & magnesium while forcing you to retain sodium
This leads to edema/swelling in your feet
You need to fix your diet and balance out these minerals
Foods to eat:
Sea salt
Goat kefir
Organ meats
Coconut water
Supplement magnesium glycinate or use mag chloride topically
A multimineral supplement is worth a shot
10- Oily + Flaky skin
What’s happening on your skin is a representation of what’s going on inside you
We spend a lot of time lathering our skin with toxic synthetic chemicals without ever considering that diet plays a role in all of this
Oily skin is the result of overactive sebaceous glands
These oil-producing factories are controlled by two main factors:
Androgens (testosterone)
Insulin
Zinc is a primary mineral to modulates both of these
Low zinc = lots of oil
Flaky skin is a little different in that it’s more localized on the nose & forehead
If you eat lots of processed foods
This increases their Omega 6 (inflammation) levels
More inflammation = less healthy skin
Your gut, liver and gallbladder are all very important too
When this drainage system is backed up, your skin becomes the next place to detox from
If you want to fix your skin, then start with your diet
Foods to eat:
Cod liver
Fatty fish
Oysters (zinc)
Grassfed beef
Consider TUDCA as a supplement to help drainage from liver/gallbladder
