live well and times shall be good. building @littlefarma_io

I studied Maths and Computer Science because I wanted to earn enough money to live comfortably in the city.

Now I live off-grid on a regenerative farm.

Here's 5 things I've learned:

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

i've found the best way to have oats (organic only):

pour about half a bucket full.
add an equivalent volume of water.
throw it in the pig pen.
get sausages and bacon in a couple of months.

by far the tastiest and healthiest way to have them.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

everything i eat in a day as a dude that wants to be medium-jacked without counting a calorie

breakfast:
4-6 eggs, fried
250g of beef mince, sometimes with liver
for a treat, 2-3 rashers of bacon.
fried with plenty of butter.
glass of raw milk

pre-workout snack at 1pm: dates and honey

post-workout: raw milk and maple syrup

dinner at 5pm: beef (mince, steak, or brisket) + rice + sauerkraut

delicious, simple and effective.

milk wasn’t pasteurised for your safety. it was pasteurised so that industrial farmers could profit off a poorly treated cow.

diseased cow, diseased milk, pasteurised and sold to you.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

they want you to revolt so they can eliminate anyone that’s a threat.

i suggest, instead of protesting and rioting, make money, buy land, start a village, produce your own food, have multiple babies, and live well.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

meat, organs, eggs, fat, raw milk, honey, fermented foods.

if you're not a pro bodybuilder, that will get you to your best and most easily maintained physique.

The same company that:

-poisoned Asians and Latin Americans with HIV-tainted blood
-owns Agent Orange, the chemical warfare used against the Vietnamese in the war
-developed Heroin and sold it to children as the 'non-addictive' cough syrup.

also owns Roundup (glyphosate), labelled "probably carcinogenic" by the IARC.

sprayed on crops right before harvest, straight into your overnight oats.

conveniently, they also make medicine for cancer treatment.

(and yes, there were lawsuits. settled for $10 billion total)

Bayer is a 50 billion dollar company, that still has huge influence over what ends up in your body.

Is this who you trust to keep you healthy? or could support your local farmer instead?

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

Nothing beats ruminants for food security and environmental friendliness.

grass grows from sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water. free of charge.

our jersey cow browny, eats it and turns it into creamy raw milk, nutrient-dense enough to double the weight of a calf.

our dexters eat the same stuff, and turn it into the most nutrient-dense meat agriculture produces.

our sheep follow after, and eat what's left. they turn the weeds, clovers, and woody brush, that the cows leave behind into high quality protein and fat with higher levels of omega 3.

climate tech and factory food cannot compare.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

The UK lost 6,365 farms last year.

The price of bog standard mince beef from the supermarket has risen by 75% since 2022.

Supermarkets have posted record-breaking profits.

Access to nutrient-dense, chemical free food is going to be one of the biggest problems conscious people face in the coming years.

If you want to keep living well, support your local farmer.

disclaimer: i live and work on a regenerative farm.

Paul has the same testosterone level as me. I'm a 25 year old steak and sunshine bro. Bodes well for this lifestyle.

[Paul Saladino, MD @paulsaladinomd]

I think I qualify as a "steak and sunshine" bro. I do comprehensive bloodwork every few months (and have done multiple YouTube videos to show these results). I take no pharmaceuticals, and no hormone replacement and my results are great. My ferritin is normal, my testosterone is >800 ng/dL as a 49 year old, and my thyroid works beautifully. I reversed chronic eczema with a carnivore diet and was able to reincorporate foods back into my diet (animal-based) without triggering these symptoms again. Getting moderate sunlight exposure is a key part of my regimen on a daily basis and I am healthier for it.

I fundamentally disagree with your premise. I've met - in person and talked with him for hours at his home. He told me point blank that he and Kate were optimizing for attention above all else. I respect the fundamental aim of his quest, but his self-proclamation as the "healthiest human on the planet" (with his biomarkers as proof) and then admitting his ferritin has been chronically low connected with a diagnosis of autoimmune gastritis is egregious. He clearly knew something was wrong for a long time and hid this.

I have not seen many (any?) replicate his purported results by following his protocol, and I fear that many have and will continue to be harmed by following a calorie-restricted vegan diet thinking that it will help them improve longevity. It will not, and it never has in the history of humans on this planet.

Improving your sleep? Amazing. Limiting social media? Fantastic. Creating a community of people around you who support your passions? Incredible. Exercising daily? Great.

Avoiding the most nutrient-rich foods on the planet (animal foods) and fearing the sun simply makes no sense. These need to be vehemently defended if humans are to truly thrive on this planet and live long, healthy lives.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

why should you support your local farmer?

because you want food security.

why do you want food security?

so that you can eat real food.

why eat real food?

so that you can be healthy.

why be healthy?

so that you can live a great life.

support your local farmer. live a great life.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

when you’re not healthy, your life sucks.

the foundation of health is clean water and real food: grass-fed beef, eggs, dairy, wild seafood, and organic fruit and veg.

so whoever controls your access to those things, controls your life.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

the problem with net zero and sustainability was never with the idea, but with the execution.

of course we want to preserve the environment and produce goods sustainably so that we can all continue to live well on a beautiful planet.

but the idea has been hijacked to push policies designed to line pockets, reduce your autonomy, and don’t actually benefit the environment.

clean air zones, for example.

what happens when someone needs to get from A to B but there’s a clean air zone in the middle?

they either:

1) buy a new car (wasteful). and of course that new car has software and an internet connection + is more difficult to repair yourself. bonus if it’s electric and makes you more dependent on the grid.

2) drive around it, burning more fuel and releasing more particulates into the air, which of course lowers the air quality even more.

3) pay a fine.

4) take double the time or pay more money for public transport.

none of which actually meaningfully benefit the environment or the people.

@grok @Jasper_Truth @grok how would you use this to purify a standalone cold plunge?

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

call me a luddite, but in many areas the advancement of technology is causing a regression in quality of life.

cars peaked in the 2000s when they got you from A to B safely and effectively without a software update and hundreds of fragile sensors.

phones peaked at the iphone 11. only thing that’s meaningfully improved is the camera and its ability to surveil you eg. “hey siri”.

food peaked in the early 1900s before globalisation and the rise of processed food. people didn’t have the option of coloured cereal with added sugar or oat milk. they just ate what you could grow in the local region.

in these areas, going forward means going back.

technology should serve you. not turn you into a slave.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

four years ago i moved into a van and people asked me why i would do that to myself.

“i wouldn’t enjoy that life”

that was the problem.

i’d been enjoying tv-shows, gadgets, passing out in the back of an uber at 4am, and many other modern pleasures.

but whatever i’d been enjoying, it wasn’t life.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

having too much convenience is definitely a first world problem, but that doesn’t make it any less of a problem.

you trade sunsets for netflix, home cooked meals for takeout, and real experiences for a thousand one-minute videos.

the cost?

your vitality.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

live simply so that you can you can live freely.

live freely so that you can live well.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

too many dudes get stuck going to the gym and never progress beyond that.

the whole point of training is to prepare you to do difficult (and more interesting) things out in the real world.

have an activity that you can apply that fitness to.

what you'll find is that that too much muscle gets in the way. there's an ideal amount of muscle.

[Rob @nomadiclifter]

reject the wellness industry, live well for free:

-morning sunlight
-breathwork
-sprints
-hike
-tan
-barefoot on ground
-use the money you spend on supplements an alcohol to buy grass-fed beef, free-range eggs, and raw milk
