you can have it all. this is the real cheat code to being one of the 0.01%
You didn't "lose your edge" in your 30s. Your methylation broke down and nobody told you it was even a thing
That sharpness you had at 24 where you could work all day, go out at night, sleep 5 hours, and still think clearly the next morning wasn't youth. It was a body that could process and recycle neurotransmitters efficiently. Dopamine got made. Serotonin got made. They got used and cleared and rebuilt in a loop that ran clean
Then your B12 started dropping because your stomach acid declined from years of stress and coffee on an empty stomach. Your folate utilization shifted because you've got an MTHFR variant you've never been tested for.
Your homocysteine crept up quietly. Your SAMe production fell off.
And now you can't focus. You're irritable for no reason. You have this low-grade brain fog that never fully clears. Caffeine used to sharpen you up and now it just makes you anxious. You forget why you walked into rooms. You used to read for hours and now you can't finish a paragraph
You went to your doctor and he said "that's just getting older." Maybe prescribed something for focus or anxiety. Probably didn't test homocysteine. Definitely didn't test methylmalonic acid or run a functional B12 panel
You're running a cofactor bottleneck in the one-carbon metabolism cycle that controls how your brain makes, uses, and clears every neurotransmitter you rely on to function.
Actually fixing it:
Get homocysteine tested. If it's above 8 you have a methylation issue whether you "feel" it or not
Active B vitamins (methylfolate + methylcobalamin + P5P). Not the cheap cyanocobalamin garbage in your CVS multivitamin that your body can barely convert
Creatine. Handles roughly 40% of your methylation burden and takes pressure off the whole system
Eat enough protein. Methionine from animal protein feeds the cycle. Vegans and undereaters run dry here first
Glycine and collagen. Glycine is the biggest consumer of methyl groups in the body. Supplementing it directly reduces demand on the cycle
Fix the gut (obviously). B12 absorption requires intrinsic factor and adequate stomach acid. If your gut is wrecked, oral B12 barely touches it
Your biochemistry is running on empty and every doctor you've seen has mistaken a nutrient bottleneck for time passing.
I break down the full methylation pathway, what to test, and exactly how to restore it on my substack. link in bio
The easiest money in ecom is copying what's working in USA and applying it in Europe or South America.
Same products. Same funnels. Same ads — just translated.
By the time something is saturated in the US, it hasn't even launched in Spain, Brazil, or Germany.
You skip all the testing and go straight to scaling.
A guy I know took a back pain relief device that was everywhere on US TikTok and launched it in Mexico and Colombia. Did $400k in his first 3 months.
The amount of millionaires this one simple arbitrage has quietly created is insane.
And most markets are still completely wide open.
we've done $200k in automation work for a single PE firm.
last week they asked us to automate appointment reminders for a hairdresser they own.
that one request changed how i think about this entire industry.
full breakdown on why small businesses are the biggest AI opportunity nobody's talking about - and the exact playbook to land them
Mohnish Pabrai's simple plan to turn $10K into $1.28M without even doing anything.
"I gave you 128x. Without having to be a genius. Without doing anything. This is just plan B."
