@Reg that is the same resource Dr. Terry Wahls used to help inform on her development of the “Wahls’s Protocol.” I’ve read her books too. She’s also a great resource for information. Her story is inspiring as well.

I like that among Elon’s first moves in his “free speech absolutism” was to fire internal critics.

Now, one might say that, duh, that might happen in any business, but most businesses aren’t being run by an avowed free speech litertarian.

Some good info here on micronutrient inadequacies.

This is more Schadenfreude than reportage per se* (though the information is factual, it’s editorialized), but it’s entertaining all the same:

*Just saying I am aware of the bias. The YouTuber never claimed to be impartial to my knowledge.

I’ll try to give it a watch later in the week when I have some time.

Autumn,

Presumably they’re both capable of just reading my first post on the subject matter. I’d wager most people are.

I read your post too and you presume to tell agricultural producers how to do their work and to tell consumers how to eat. Sounds like the same food control freakery that starved millions throughout The…

Jake,

Oh, a capital idea. A capital thought. Do you suppose i can be bought? I’d paraphrase for a raise to guide you through your haze.

Greater perspicacity, lucidity, sagacity you’ll seldom find. You’re a duck and she is a sharpshooter behind a blind.

Pretty rhymes don’t make any of that accurate.

Since starting to eat this way the weight has literally fallen off faster then I ever thought was possible (almost in a scary way). People at work make comments at how, “Are you losing weight?” ….I always smile, “thank you for noticing,” 😊 if only the doctors told me this years ago….unfortunately doctors still believe the lies too. Too many doctor…[Read more]

It’s not a moral issue.  It’s a biological one. Americans eat too much meat, too few vegetables, and too much processed foods.

@Reg

lol I love bill maher. But I disagree in the sense that he too is unknowingly adding to the problem by making it sound like Americans are the gluttonous bottomless pits , and if we could simply get control of ourselves then the obesity epidemic would all go away….

We have been lied to for too long. Obesity is not a disease caused by lack o…[Read more]

My mom in her sixties was younger than I’ve been since I was a teenager. It was like her second childhood in many ways—better in that she had more money and autonomy. But rather than a serious notion that I plan to retire early, so-to-speak, it’s the idea that I could. I’ve given myself the license to say I’ve had enough if I really feel that’s t…[Read more]

Autumn, 60s arrive way too fast. I am nearly at that crossroads. Time feels like it is accelerating.

I don’t feel old. Not at all. But i guess that is not your worry. It is the part about getting sick of it all. That is addressed in part by the seeming celerity of time passages. It also can make us more daring to do an about-face into the teeth…[Read more]

There are a few people are less likely to get depending on diet. Vitamin D. Omega 3. Vitamin K, I think. One of the -siums (magnesium?). Some people are more prone to iron deficiency. And with a lot of people turning a way from iodized salt, it’s possible people don’t get enough iodine.

Then there are anti-nutrients. Oatmeal, for instance, has…[Read more]

I had periods where it was gym, gym and more gym. Sure there is equipment and various ways to exercise but give me outdoors. I let my gym membership lapse during the pandemic and have not renewed it. There is something so valuable being in nature. Occasionally when i walk with someone socially who is not fit i still enjoy hell out of it and see…[Read more]

It is kind of a drug for me. Go a few days without getting outside and feel like shite.

I concur. On Jan 1st 2018 I decided to walk 20,000,000 steps in 2,000 days. I am ahead of target and only need to average 8,500 steps to hit it. (by end June next year). Even when I cycle to the gym and then run on the dreadmill, I still need a walk outdoors…[Read more]
