Every phone, every tablet we hand our kids — there are thousands of people on the other side of that screen whose only goal is to exploit, groom, and lure.

This is part of a longer conversation I had with @titaniajordan from @barktechco — one every parent should hear.

@AmericanAir While I’m happy for Freddy. This was our flight status yesterday for our anniversary trip to Vegas to see Kenny Chesney at the Sphere. Ended up going back home since there were no flights to get us there anymore before the show. Anniversary trip went from Vegas to DFW terminals.

[Anna Dugas @she_Anna_igans]

@FreddyLA7 It’s DFW. We have had a whole day here ourselves with flight delays. We decided to go back home so waiting on that flight 🙃

Chuck Norris didn't die.

He decided being on Earth was too easy.

He's looking for a planet to bench press now.

@gotrice2024 We did this at our party after the honeymoon where we celebrated with our friends and family our marriage. Pizza food truck and it was at a local brewery. Everyone had a great time!

Chris Williamson's life-changing rule on Huberman: "If they don't have what you want, don't listen to what they say."

"There's no greater waste of time than justifying your actions to people who have a life you don't want."

Stop seeking validation from those who haven't built what you're chasing.

Protect your energy. Surround yourself with winners. Build in silence.

The world will notice when you succeed—then they'll want your advice.

You are destined for greatness. Guard your mind, ignore the noise, and go get it.

Watch this 14-second fire starter.

NEW: Jelly Roll breaks down in tears after his lifelong dream of being invited to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry came true at the end of Joe Rogan's show.

Rogan surprised the singer with a message from country music artist Craig Morgan.

Jelly Roll threw his headphones to the side when he realized what was happening.

"That's like ... it don't get no bigger in country music, bubba."

Congrats!

I recently had a conversation with a friend who runs a clinic network of 1,000+ MDs.

She said the main conversation among doctors is frustration that patients are asking about the "root cause" and "more natural cures" for their conditions.

She said 0% of patients asked these questions five years ago, and now 80% of patients do.

Her doctors see this trend as a negative thing, and spend their time deriding the MAHA movement and social media personalities in the breakroom.

These clinics focus on dermatology and make money selling drugs and procedures. Many dermatological issues are tied to root cause issues (diet/lifestyle) and not a lack of cream or injection.

On Reddit boards, countless medical professionals are decrying these "root cause" questions.

I think this represents a major shift/dynamic happening in medicine that should be openly discussed. Are patients' right to be asking more questions about the root cause, or are the doctors right to be deriding Americans for taking health into their own hands? To be asking about food, exercise, over-medicalization, and lifestyle habits...

Should patients trust their doctors on chronic disease management? Can patients actually reverse their conditions and thrive if they explore the root cause? Are the answers simpler and more under our control than we believe?

I think the answer is clearly yes. I hope the trend of patients asking doctors for the root cause doesn't slow down, and it not only changes how we practice medicine, but also changes our culture to be more empowered.

If you have an acute condition that will kill you right away, see your doctor and listen to them. Our system is a miracle at addressing these acute issues. But that's less than 10% of our spending.

Our system's failure at chronic disease management has economic, national defense, and spiritual effects that are existential.

We need to have respect for our food and our soil. We need to cherish breastfeeding and natural food... We need to ensure kids are away from their phones and outside running around... We need to rejuvenate a grounding in the spiritual...

These are the messages our healthcare leaders should be repeating again and again - and that light is starting to shine through, despite aggressive resistance from hard-working doctors whose income and identity are undeniably tied to the broken status quo.

A must-watch: RFK Jr. addresses HHS with a call for unity and open dialogue.

“I've come through a highly polarized confirmation process.”

“The fog of narrative warfare has made it hard to get a sense of who I am and what I believe and what I represent.”

“A lot of times when I read these articles characterizing me, I think to myself, I wouldn't wanna work for that guy either.”

“Since we all are here together, I have a request to make from you, my new colleagues, let's start a relationship by letting go of any preconceptions that you may have about me, and let's start from square one.”

“Let's establish a mutual intention to work toward what we all care about, the health of the American people.”

“What I promise to you now is to hold my preconceived answers lightly. I promise to be willing to be wrong. I promise to listen to all the stakeholders, inviting all the parties to the conversation, including the ones with whom I've disagreed in the past. I promise to keep an open mind toward every possibility and every contingency.”

“I hope you will all join me in this commitment because the health of our people is a lot more important than being right or being vindicated.”
