His friends' parents ask me how we talk.

They notice he tells me things. Real things.

Not the "how was school" answers. The stuff that lives underneath.

That did not happen because I asked more questions. It happened because I asked 7 specific questions starting when he was 5, and I kept my mouth in the right shape when he answered.

Here are the 7. And what most parents get wrong when they try.

Easy carnivore cheese dumplings.

Lay out provolone on parchment and bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes.

Fill with ricotta and ground beef (50/50), fold over and bake for a few more minutes!

You are bored because you have no side quests.

Life isn’t supposed to be:

work → phone → bed → repeat.

You need experiences that make life feel bigger.

Here are 20 side quests every man should complete:

In this one, increased levels of physical activity and reduced levels of daily sitting time were associated with lower risks of all-cause mortality and premature death in patients with cardiovascular disease, with more favorable effects observed when the two behaviors were combined.

There is a process that I have used, and still use, to reignite life...

Create two timelines—6 months and 12 months—and list up to five things you dream of having (including, but not limited to, material wants: house, car, clothing, etc.), being (be a great cook, be fluent in Chinese, etc.), and doing (visiting Thailand, tracing your roots overseas, racing ostriches, etc.) in that order.

If you have difficulty identifying what you want in some categories, as most will, consider what you hate or fear in each and write down the opposite.

Do not limit yourself, and do not concern yourself with how these things will be accomplished. For now, it’s unimportant. This is an exercise in reversing repression.

Be sure not to judge or fool yourself. If you really want a Ferrari, don’t put down solving world hunger out of guilt. For some, the dream will be fame, for others fortune or prestige. All people have their vices and insecurities. If something will improve your feeling of self-worth, put it down.

Drawing a blank? In that case, consider these questions:

1) What would you do, day to day, if you had $100 million in the bank?
2) What would make you most excited to wake up in the morning to another day?

Don’t rush—think about it for a few minutes.

If still blocked, fill in the five “doing” spots with the following:

— one place to visit
— one thing to do before you die (a memory of a lifetime)
— one thing to do daily
— one thing to do weekly
— one thing you’ve always wanted to learn

What does “being” entail doing?

Convert each “being” into a “doing” to make it actionable. Identify an action that would characterize this state of being or a task that would mean you had achieved it. People find it easier to brainstorm “being” first, but this column is just a temporary holding spot for “doing” actions.

Here are a few examples:

1) Great cook —> make Christmas dinner without help

2) Fluent in Chinese —> have a five-minute conversation with a Chinese co-worker

Determine three steps for each of the dreams in just the 6-month timeline and take the first step now.

Define three steps for each dream that will get you closer to its actualization.

Set actions—simple, well-defined actions—for now, tomorrow (complete before 11 A.M.) and the day after (again completed before 11 A.M.). Once you have three steps for each of the four goals, complete the three actions in the “now” column.

Do it now. Each should be simple enough to do in five minutes or less. If not, rachet it down. If it’s the middle of the night and you can’t call someone, do something else now, such as send an e-mail, and set the call for first thing tomorrow.

If the next stage is some form of research, get in touch with someone who knows the answer instead of spending too much time in books or online, which can turn into paralysis by analysis.

The best first step, the one I recommend, is finding someone who’s done it and ask for advice on how to do the same.

I swear taking L-citrulline in the morning, L-arginine at night, and CoQ10 with breakfast changed my life.

I did it for 30 days straight, and my wife kept asking why my erections got harder and my energy and libido shot through the roof.

Here's exactly what I did:

[brian mackenzie @brianmackenzie]

This is the floor for strong, lean, aerobically functional people in an unwell population: basically being capable across the full system.
Caloric output at these minima (standards):
- 40kg: RMR ~1100-1250 → TDEE ~1900-2600
- 50kg: RMR ~1350-1480 → TDEE ~2300-3100
- 60kg: RMR ~1500-1630 → TDEE ~2550-3400
- 70kg: RMR ~1620-1780, TDEE 2750-3700
- 80kg: RMR ~1750-1920, TDEE 3000-4000
- 90kg RMR ~1950-2150, TDEE 3300-4400
- 100kg: RMR ~2050-2250, TDEE 3500-4700

A lean 90kg example hits the standard cleanly: ~207W aerobic, corresponding glycolytic/neuromuscular power, 135-180kg 3RM deadlift range, 35+ push-ups, elevated RMR ~1950-2150 from muscle. Strong, lean, aerobically functional. The system has real capacity.

Higher muscle mass at any weight raises RMR and intake tolerance while holding the W/kg DOWN beyond 5 minutes, and sometimes even at 30s = Aerobically Challenged for Health.

These are what I would consider the integrated minimums that deliver healthy function: aerobic foundation + power + strength + endurance + body comp that supports real adaptation and reserve.

Test where you sit against them. Manage the full system to hit and hold them. The data and the physiology are pretty damn clear. #KNTK #UnifiedSystem = #Healthy

I read posts like this and get depressed.

Makes me wonder sometimes if it would be better to walk away from all the business of medicine and the hospital and the acute and chronically ill so I can just be normal. Healthy. Human.

@simpleorganix and her content is wu-wu to our modern bourgeoisie sensibilities but I know she’s right.

We live and thrive in the domains where we were created to exist and there are consequences to veering far away from that. Subtle at first. But compounding over time.

One can’t help reflect on the quiet times. When we let ourselves have any quiet at all. That it’s not supposed to be this way.

There is medicine in bare feet on grass. Swimming naked in a river. Breathing mountain air. The stillness of forest. And sun on your bare skin.

I year to return to something more like that and less like it is. It’s in part romantic. But also a practical want of the soul.

[@simpleorganix @simpleorganix]

Our mind is malleable…

Neuro plasticity teaches us this.

Everything you experience synthetically is changing Brain structure.

We are slowly going from plasticity to plastic…

Electricity can’t conduct there.

Blue light
P*rn
AI
Digital Images
TV
Light Flicker
Social Media
Scrolling
Filters
Even plastic surgery & makeup

This is why it’s important to get as much natural networking in as possible. A way of adjusting the time & space technology tampers with.

Sun rise, shine & set
Nature
Plant life
Starry skies
Moon
Natural bodies of water
Florals
Wildlife
Travel
Real social interactions
Real photos
Real books
Real Scripture
Real beauty

Neurons have been building their electrical intelligence & excitability for 300,000 around the Earths network…

Nature(all) is the Brains true fabric.

3. Drinking the sleep tea

Instead of chugging water all day then stopping at night, I drink:

Sea salt + chamomile tea +1g of glycine 2 hours before bed

This combo helps your body actually USE the water instead of just flushing it out.

Devised by Kenneth Snelson and made famous by the architect Buckminster Fuller in 1949, the concept of tensegrity seems counterintuitive, but it simply uses the laws of statics.

This is a gorgeous LEGO version.
