Built my own private gym when the world shut down. Now I’m building hundreds. Elite fitness. Smart tech. Zero excuses. @Sqwodlife @Sqwodpod

I grew up in Pearland.

Now I live in Berlin.

Same disease. Different accent.

Wealthiest nations on earth, sickest people on earth. Pharma wins, you lose.

Im building Sqwod Pod so the 80% on the sidelines have a place to fight back.

Health is wealth. Stick around.

A tiny bee just did what chemotherapy couldn't.

Scientists in Australia discovered that honeybee venom can wipe out 100% of aggressive breast cancer cells in under 60 minutes.
And the healthy cells around them? Barely touched.

The breakthrough came from Dr. Ciara Duffy and her team at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research, working alongside the University of Western Australia.
They tested venom drawn from 312 honeybees and bumblebees across Australia, Ireland, and England.

The target: triple-negative breast cancer and HER2-enriched breast cancer. Two of the deadliest, most stubborn forms of the disease.
The weapon: melittin. The same tiny peptide that makes a bee sting burn.

At one specific dose, melittin tore through cancer cell membranes completely within an hour. Within just 20 minutes, it shut down the chemical signals cancer cells need to grow and multiply.
Bumblebee venom, which lacks melittin, did nothing. Zero effect, even at high concentrations.

Scientists then recreated melittin synthetically in the lab and got almost identical results, meaning no bees need to be harmed to develop the therapy.

Published in the peer-reviewed journal npj Precision Oncology, the findings are still early-stage. Human trials haven't happened yet.

But one thing is clear. Nature has been hiding answers in plain sight all along, sometimes inside the smallest creatures on Earth.

@itsolelehmann Water first thing when waking up.
Coffee 1 hour after waking up (i buy Beserker brand of Robusta beans)
Creatine, fish oil, and good sleep round off the Supps.
No social media before noon helps too.

You live 5 minutes away.
Roll out of bed.
Walk to your gym.
Get strong.
Go home.
No commute. No excuses. No algorithm telling you to come.
Just a neighborhood gym that’s always open.

Fruits & vegetables likely account for a majority of people's dietary microplastic and PFAS intake.

What’s frustrating is that this isn’t something you can just rinse off. In many cases, the contamination appears to be taken up into the food itself.

Organic may reduce some of that exposure, but even organic farms can be affected when they’re near contaminated land or water.

Should you stop eating produce? No. We should be much more upset about how widespread these chemicals have become, especially when children are being exposed through foods we otherwise consider healthy.

One practical thing I think is worth considering is beta-glucan. There’s some evidence it may help support the excretion of PFAS, and given how unavoidable these exposures are becoming, that may be a useful tool, especially for families who can’t realistically eliminate every source.

If you're in Berlin, come give us a visit. If you're building the solution, I'd love to connect over a coffee. Just DM me.

The Les Mills 2026 Global Fitness Report just confirmed everything....

[Tee Major @Tee_Major]

The gym was built for the 20% who were already going to show up.

The data says 80% want in.

Nobody built the door.

Thats the whole game. Build the door.

70% of America doesn’t meet strength training guidelines.

The White House declares a fitness month.

Meanwhile, the system that failed those 70% remains untouched.

We don’t need inspiration. We need infrastructure.

Berlin doesn't care about your startup. It doesn't care about your hustle. It just keeps being Berlin and the founders who survive here are the ones who stopped needing the city to validate them.

We don’t have a TV at home and we limit our kids screen time, aged 6 & 8. Get your kids off the devices

[Camus @newstart_2024]

This MRI study on young kids just exposed something terrifying:

They scanned the brains of 60 children aged 3–5 — including 5-year-old Rose — and found interactive screen time is causing measurable loss of white matter in their developing brains. Even just 2 hours a day is linked to impaired neural connectivity, language, and literacy development.

Professor Mike Nagel (neuroscientist and father) said his first reaction was simply: “Wow… I was not anticipating seeing anything like that.”

We’re physically changing children’s brains before they even start school — and the damage is visible on scans.

This one actually unsettled me. I’ve always suspected too much screen time was bad, but seeing real white matter loss in toddlers hits different.

Parents of little ones — has this kind of research changed how much screen time you allow?
