There are two supplements I always pack when I travel:
• Glutamine - My baseline is 5 g/day, but when I’m traveling, sleep-deprived, or exposed to something going around, I’ll increase to 15–20 g/day (split into 5 g doses). Glutamine is an important fuel source for immune cells, and I think it’s especially useful during periods of stress, travel, and immune exposure.
• Creatine - I usually take 5–10 g/day, but on travel days, I’ll go up to 15–20 g/day, split into doses. Creatine supports cellular energy metabolism, and the brain is very energy-demanding, especially under sleep deprivation/jet lag.
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.
It’s so important to send love to all the past versions of ourselves, not just the ones who were “crushing it” or had it all together.
The versions who were struggling need it most!
The one who was hurting.
The one who was sad.
The one who was angry.
The one who wasn't always kind to others.
The one who couldn't give herself permission to rest.
The one who didn’t feel lovable.
The one who stayed too long.
The one who made herself small.
The one who needed everyone else's approval.
The one who didn't feel safe being herself.
The one who was lost.
There are times in my past where I wasn’t proud of myself, how I acted, or decisions I made. Would I repeat them? Absolutely not. AND I know now that I did the best I could with the tools I had at the time. That’s not an excuse, it’s compassion. Because if we stay in shame and can’t love our past selves, we’re blocking our growth, transformation, and blessings.
And all of those experiences and choices - good and bad - led me to the person I am today, and you know what? I love this version of me!
Which version of you needs to hear this most today? Send them a hug!
Sending so much love and light your way,
Lo

This announcement is still sinking in 🥹💙 I am incredibly honored to be included in this year’s @mcdathletics Hall of Fame induction class 🙏
Those years were an absolute grind, I was constantly pushing myself to my limits and past them.
🙏 I am so grateful for the coaches, friends, and family who supported me! ❤️
🥳 Congratulations to the other inductees!
Why rest is important Practically and Spiritually ✨
I’m starting this week off after a very busy 5 day trip, part business and part personal.
Old me would’ve thought ”Get back to work, no days off, hustle harder.”
But now I know there’s abundance in rest, there’s power in trusting yourself, and trusting that Universe/God/Spirit will support me.
When we allow ourselves to rest, we allow ourselves to receive.
And from a physiological perspective, our bodies, our immune systems, and our brain all need rest and recovery in order to perform at their best.
Sprints are important in work and in life, but you can’t sprint an entire marathon.
If we constantly try to “push through,” we will diminish our top output and our ability to perform at our highest level.
So whether it’s this week or sometime this month, I hope you give yourself permission to rest, relax, and recover!
Wishing you abundance & joy this week!
hugs,
Lo

Are you fasting the wrong way?
Women have a stronger cortisol response in the morning than men, and it’s directly tied to hunger hormones. When you skip breakfast or push your first meal to noon, those hormones dysregulate for the rest of the day — driving carb cravings, afternoon crashes, and uncontrolled eating at night. The very opposite of what you’re trying to do.
Research shows that women who broke their fast by 8AM and finished eating by 5PM had significantly better metabolic control than those eating in a compressed late window.
You don’t need a 16 hour fast to get the benefits of autophagy, and you definitely don’t need to wait until noon to eat. Simply stop eating after dinner. That’s it.
If you eat dinner at 6 and breakfast at 8, you’ve already done a 14 hour fast without skipping a single meal.
Front load your food, eat earlier, and stop at night. You’ll sleep better, feel better, and lose weight without starving yourself.
Full conversation with Dr. Stacy Sims is out now on The Dr. Hyman Show Podcast.
The smarter women are, the more hostility they face.
In the U.S. & China, the higher women’s IQs, the less they're liked—and the more they’re undermined by coworkers. Men pay no price for being bright.
It's long past time to recognize female intellect as an asset, not a threat.
Mindful Monday - a prayer for your body. I use it daily.
You can use it no matter what state your body is in — especially helpful when you're dealing with an illness, injury, or any kind of healing.
Save this to come back to it whenever you need it 🙏

Here's a snapshot of the biological insult from international travel. It takes your body over two weeks to fully recover.
It's a big price tag.
One international trip per quarter is a reasonable balance.
Time to recover:
> sleep duration: 2 days
> grip strength: 5 days
> mood: 1 wk
> cortisol: 9 days
> sleep quality: 2 wks
> blood glucose: 2 wks
A group of UC Berkeley students did a 9-week digital detox… and the results were striking.
Cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Sahar Yousef (UC Berkeley Haas) found that participants experienced less anxiety, less depression, and more mindfulness. Some students said they suddenly started noticing all the positive things in their real life once the constant scrolling stopped.
Dr. Yousef also raised a concern, noting that heavy daily tech habits may be linked to brain changes: “We’re actually seeing brain atrophy… degradation of certain brain areas related to self-awareness [and] cognitive control.” (Note: This is an emerging area of research — more long-term studies are needed.)
This feels very relatable. The longer I step away from endless scrolling, the clearer and calmer my mind seems to get.
Our digital habits have become so automatic that we rarely stop to consider their impact on mental health and focus.
Have you ever tried even a short digital detox? What difference (if any) did you notice?
Good for Oura for jumping on this partnership and I wish the majors would just allow all wearables. If someone has been using Whoop or another device, allowing them to use Oura for two weeks is not really helpful. It’s like mandating all the players have to wear the same brand of shoes.
I love sports. Not for the competition—but for the heart, the stories, and the leadership.
The best teams don’t just have talent. They have character.
I love the power of authenticity and great leadership.
Congrats Cori and UCLA! 🥳
Cody Campbell (@CodyC64) discusses the average deficit for an FBS school. It's unsustainable and getting worse.
"The average budget deficit for all 136 FBS schools is $20M per school per year."
In this clip, Cody lays out the current business problem and how it could get even worse if something isn't done quickly to fix it.
Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”
