Erling Haaland gets it:
Raw honey
organic coffee with maple syrup
steak and beef liver
raw milk from the farmers market
mouth taping
raw carrot salad
blue light blocking glasses
lots of sunlight
red light therapy
meditating
being a silly goose
This is the way
Erling Haaland is taking the world by storm.
He drinks raw milk and eats beef liver and heart.
He doesn’t fear the sun. He gets sunlight in the morning and limits blue light at night.
In this video, I’m reviewing his diet…
FUN FACT: Apparently Erling Haaland lives off of a diet of sourdough bread, raw milk, coffee, maple syrup, eggs, honey, steaks, potatoes, asparagus, and bearnaise sauce. Delicious.
It’s all a dopamine game.
no phone when you wake up.
do the hardest work first.
save entertainment for the evening.
stop rewarding yourself before you’ve earned it.
your brain runs on contrast.
the more you delay easy dopamine, the easier hard work becomes.
make your brain work for the dopamine. not the other way around.
heres a complete hair regrowth protocol that costs under $30 per month and contains only ingredients backed by published clinical research. no finasteride. no minoxidil. no prescriptions
rosemary oil topically every night. a randomized clinical trial compared it head to head against minoxidil and found equivalent regrowth at 6 months. 3-5 drops of rosemary essential oil mixed into jojoba or castor oil as a carrier. massage into thinning areas for 2-3 minutes before bed. the massage itself adds the mechanical stimulation benefit on top of the rosemary
microneedling at 1.5mm once per week on thinning areas. the study showed 4x improvement in hair count when added to a topical regimen. use a clean dermaroller or dermapen. apply topicals 24 hours after needling, not immediately
saw palmetto 320mg daily orally. inhibits the same enzyme as finasteride (5-alpha reductase) but locally rather than systemically. the effect is milder but it comes without the sexual side effects because it doesnt suppress DHT throughout your entire body
pumpkin seed oil 400mg daily orally. the double-blind study showed 40% improvement in hair count over 24 weeks through natural DHT modulation
scalp massage 4 minutes daily with fingertips. the published study showed measurable increases in hair thickness over 24 weeks from massage alone
optimize sleep to 7+ hours for growth hormone production. reduce caffeine to minimize cortisol-driven telogen shift. get morning sunlight for circadian hormone regulation
total monthly cost: roughly $25 for the rosemary oil, saw palmetto, and pumpkin seed oil combined. the dermaroller is $8 and lasts 3 months. the massage and sleep are free
every single component has published evidence. the hair loss industry charges $100+ monthly for pharmaceutical options that require lifetime use. this protocol addresses DHT locally, stimulates the follicle directly, triggers growth factors through microneedling, and optimizes the hormonal environment that determines whether your follicles grow or shut down
this is the protocol they would rather you never found out about
Blue light available from wake-up until sleep for 16 hours -> brain thinks it’s summer all day
Summer biology results in MSH up regulating fertility
But… with no ocular UV exposure this doesn’t happen
So you don’t get the high melatonin of winter nor the hormonal boost of summer
Worst of both
⚡️The quote is basically the whole monetary caste system in one sentence.
Coca-Cola’s real superpower is not syrup. It is trust converted into cheap liabilities.
A company with stable cash flow, global distribution, brand durability, and institutional credibility can issue long-term debt at low rates.
Then inflation and money supply growth slowly erode the real value of that debt while the company owns assets, pricing power, equity, brands, bottling networks, real estate, inventory, and financial claims that reprice upward over time.
That is the trade.
Borrow weak money.
Buy stronger assets.
Let time and inflation pay the debt for you.
The rich understand this. Corporations understand this. Governments understand this. Real estate investors understand this. Private equity understands this. The entire upper layer of the economy is structurally short fiat.
The bottom is structurally long fiat.
Wage earners hold cash, earn salaries, rent time, pay variable prices, and borrow at worse terms. Their groceries reprice. Their rent reprices. Their insurance reprices. Their healthcare reprices. Their tuition reprices. Their savings melt. But their access to cheap leverage is limited or punitive. They experience inflation as damage.
The asset-owning class experiences inflation as transfer.
That is why inflation is not merely “prices going up.” Inflation is a balance-sheet sorting mechanism. It separates those who can borrow against credibility from those who must save in currency.
The Coca-Cola bond is powerful because it lets the company manufacture a financial liability that other people treat as safe. Pension funds, insurers, bond funds, and conservative allocators buy the paper. Coca-Cola receives dollars today. It pays fixed coupons tomorrow. If the currency base expands faster than the cost of that debt, Coca-Cola wins quietly.
The product is Coke.
The deeper product is creditworthiness.
The deepest product is access to monetary dilution before the masses feel it.
This is why ownership matters more than income. Income gets taxed and inflated away. Assets and cheap fixed-rate liabilities ride the monetary wave.
The system is not neutral.
It rewards people who can convert money into claims before money loses value.
It punishes people who receive money after the dilution has already moved through the asset layer.
That is the real game.
Rich entities sell paper promises and buy reality.
Poor people sell reality and hold paper promises.
Just write the bad sentence.
Pixar's Andrew Stanton on why it's more important to do the work, even if it sucks, than to talk about the great work you'll make (and never do it):
"There's a term for it: whistling on the steps of Carnegie Hall. Most people spend more time telling you the symphony they're going to write than the symphony is written.
Finish the sentence. I don't care if it doesn't have an ending, or a middle. Just freaking write the sentence. It's gonna be bad. You don't get to the nice sentence until you've written the bad sentence. Writing is rewriting."
"It's chipping away at the marble. Every time you decide not to, you're not practicing. So you're just going to be that much less practiced."
I’m a dermatologist. I’m supposed to say there is no amount of safe sun exposure.
But I won’t, because that’s a lie.
The attached shows how much sun is safe in different cities at different times of year.
What do I mean by ‘safe’?
I mean this: UV causes DNA damage and skin cancer.
But, shockingly, your body repairs that damage. As long as the damage doesn’t outpace repair and start accumulating it shouldn't increase your risk of skin cancer.
Data just came out that tells us how much UV you can get without damage accumulating.
They took the people most susceptible to DNA damage from UV and exposed them to UV, then did skin biopsies to measure the damage, then more skin biopsies to measure the repair, and repeated it daily for 4 days.
At 1.6 ‘Standard Erythemal Dose’ (SED) there was no accumulation of damage.
So, the attached charts show how much sun it takes to get 1 SED in different cities at different times of the year at different times of day.
And there are extra safety margins built in. It assumes a perfectly clear day with zero air pollution and that the sun is hitting your skin perpendicularly. Unless you’re laying flat, most sun is hitting you at an angle, which isn’t nearly as intense.
But a bigger question you might be asking is ‘Why would a dermatologist be telling you to get sun in the first place?’
Because getting sun reduces your risk of death.
Mostly by reducing your risk of heart attacks and strokes. That is very well proven.
But it’s also very likely that sun exposure reduces your risk of autoimmune disease, dementia, cancer and depression. It’s just not as well proven as the protection against heart attacks and strokes.
And before you reply and say ‘just take vitamin D!’, know that it has been ROBUSTLY proven that vitamin D has little (if any) benefit for preventing any of the above. Vitamin D is mostly useful as a marker of if you’re getting enough sun.
What do I do myself and what do I tell my patients?
Get as much unprotected sun exposure as you can without getting a burn.
That’s my GUESS as to what has the best risk/benefit ratio. Dying of skin cancer is actually really rare, especially when compared to the risk of heart attacks, strokes, autoimmune disease, dementia and other cancers.
But I’ll admit it’s not for sure best to get as much sun as possible, since sun does increase the risk of skin cancer and it might be the case the benefits plateau at a low level.
So, if you’re really worried about skin cancer stick to the charts.
The best science I can find says that amount won’t cause skin cancer.
The takeaway?
Sun is good for you, just don’t get a burn.
The universe will make sure you'll win if you just keep going. not because life suddenly becomes easier overnight, but because the moment you truly believe in yourself, you stop moving like someone who’s waiting to fail. most people think success belongs to the smart, lucky or talented people. but actually, a huge part of it belongs to the people who refused to stop before the results showed up.
every good thing in your life once existed as something uncertain, something invisible. there were moments where nothing made sense yet but you didn’t quit just because you couldn’t see immediate proof. you kept going anyway, and eventually you got to see it all with your own eyes.
so keep showing up. keep visualizing. keep moving like the life you want is already making its way toward you. appreciate that you are constantly evolving and that this position you are in right now is not your final destination.
cause the universe responds differently to people who trust themselves deeply. people who continue anyway. people who stay committed to the vision even when they have no evidence yet besides faith.
what’s meant for you does not always arrive instantly. sometimes life is preparing you mentally before it delivers what you asked for. sometimes the delay is building the version of you capable enough of handling the blessing properly once it arrives. “every version of you that suffered was shaping the version strong enough to receive what you asked for.”
so stop acting like your dreams are impossible just because they haven’t happened yet. keep believing. keep working. keep aligning yourself with the version of you that already has it. your future is responding to the energy you repeat every single day.
Underrated life advice: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
Taking care of yourself doesn't have to be complicated.
It starts with the habits your body has needed all along: morning sunlight, movement, nourishing food, quality sleep, and moments to reset your nervous system.
The basics may not be flashy, but they're often the most powerful.
