Message to myself, don't be afraid to say:
"I don't know."
"Maybe I'm wrong."
"I'm wrong."
"I have more to learn."

It’s not discipline most women need - it’s safety.

The female nervous system can’t thrive in constant cortisol and caffeine.

Chronic stress lowers progesterone, wrecks their thyroid , and Doctors convince women they’re ‘too anxious’ - when they’re just depleted and dysregulated.

If your doctor uses ferritin alone to “confirm” iron deficiency … they’re either lazy or don’t know what they’re talking about.

Ferritin doesn’t only reflect iron storage.

Ferritin elevates with inflammation, liver stress, CKD, infection, or oxidative damage.

High ferritin usually means you an underlying health condition.

4 blood tests your doctor won’t order (but you need):

Homocysteine - shows methylation & heart risk long before cholesterol does

Omega-3 Index - inflammation & cognition marker (aim ≥ 8%)

Full Thyroid Panel (TSH, fT3, fT4, TPOab) - explains weight gain, fatigue, depression

Zinc and copper - key for hormones, mood & immune balance

10g a day of creatine is not enough.

The magic number is 0.35 g/kg.

A study published in Nature found that when participants supplemented with high-dose creatine after 21h of sleep deprivation, not only did their cognitive performance return to baseline...

IT IMPROVED beyond baseline in outcomes such as processing speed.

After 21h of no sleep!

"A high single dose of creatine can partially reverse metabolic alterations and fatigue-related cognitive deterioration."

Note: Participants had not taken creatine before.

Stop touching receipts if you care about your hormones.

Receipts are lined with endocrine disrupters like BPA.

Chronic exposure can lead to lower testosterone.

Wearing hand cream or sanitiser before handling receipts “can increase BPA absorption up to 100‐fold."

Latex gloves won't work - you need to use nitrile gloves.

Improving small habits like this decreases the total toxic exposure body burden.

It's not imposter syndrome.

You're just not good enough ... yet.

Outwork your self-doubt.

[Alexander Emmanuel @aemmanuall]

Stop complaining your testosterone is low when...

You don't sleep enough.

You're stressed daily.

You don't have enough muscle.

Rely on Uber Eats for your nutrition.

You’re deficient in zinc, magnesium, and
Vitamin D.

TRT won't fix your discipline.

The problem with your business isn’t leads, clients and money.

It’s that you keep breaking promises to yourself.

You say you’ll do it. You don’t.

If you don’t listen when you speak...

Why should anyone else?

You wouldn’t be a happier person if life went exactly the way you wanted to.

Your life is given purpose and meaning through struggle

It is by wrestling with despair that we find hope to continue on

Working to solve your struggle is what makes you happy

Be thankful for the struggle you have because it gives you the chance to feel happy in the first place.

Both faith and fear demand you believe in something you cannot see. You choose.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

When we are tired, it is often because we are bored. When no real challenge faces us, a mental and physical lethargy sets in. “Sometimes death only comes from a lack of energy,” Napoleon once said, and lack of energy comes from a lack of challenges, comes when we have taken on less than we are capable of.

I was ordained by God to do this.

Should you take x drug?

____ made me a better person.

If you can't answer yes, should you really take it?

Festina lente; a classical adage and oxymoron meaning “make haste slowly.”

The deeper you’re willing to venture into darkness, the more light you’ll uncover.

Before a hero becomes a hero they suffer

You’re suffering because you’re becoming a hero.

Only if you keep going.

[Alexander Emmanuel @aemmanuall]

Most morality is cowardice. Most claim to be moral because they're afraid of doing things that society considers inappropriate.

"I would never hurt someone."

You're just a weak coward passing it off as morality because you refuse to come to terms with your shadow and weakness.
