If you were wondering, @albertahodl has superior beef. Best tasting meat I’ve had in a long time. If you can get some cow from him. No funny stuff in the meat, either.

TL;DR see the sun. Eat what’s locally grown and locally raised. BTC for a circular economy to manage Deuterium levels and thus health. The Center for Deuterium Depletion https://share.google/gftsRoHlZTzIp088K

Nutritional deuterium depletion and health: a scoping review - PMC

Deuterium, heavier hydrogen isotope is found in higher concentrations in equatorial waters and plant foods like fruits and starches. The higher in latitude and altitude the lower the Deuterium in the water. Too much deuterium in the body makes it a challenge and sort of clogs the ATP and Electron Transport Chain in your mitochondria. The electron flow to your body becomes less efficient. If you’re in a high light environment with abundant UV and you’re eating local foods you’ll be able to deal with it easier. If you’re not eating foods out of season can heighten deuterium levels which can prolong and cause issues. Cancer has been lowered and prevented by lowering deuterium. Some anecdotal evidence from physicians have used the depletion approach as part of treating Autism. Animal foods are safest bet for low deuterium foods. Higher the fat + had a face = no brainer approach. Deuterium depleted water can be purchased to lower levels but it’s pricey at 20dollars a liter. If you’re dealing with an issue that would benefit from depletion this would be a good option for you. If not, then sweat and exercise outside and drink as local a water you can. This may seem like a majoring in the minors type approach but it impacts your energy flow at the mito level which seems to be the epicenter of chronic diseases. The TLDR isn’t a new approach either. It wasn’t too long ago we ate what was around until supermarkets came about. The Deuterium perspective gives another reason why tying our diet to what nature can support where and when you are does have implications.

Summer is coming up. Here’s something to work towards to ensure you’re prime for getting out in the mtns this summer. Scale accordingly. Do each exercise to best of your ability. I ain’t no doctor. Bodyweight squats are continuous. Slight pauses but no breaks between to accumulate reps. 100 bodyweight squats is the gold mark for your upper legs. The jump rope ensures your feet and lower legs are ready to match what the body needs to go uphill. Work towards the numbers by end of the month. This will get you ready by July if you start now.

Buy quality footwear for what you need. Years ago I was required to buy leather boots with only stitching, no glue adhesive. There were these newer boots that came out that did use glue for the soles but were safe for fire use. One of the guys in my crew bought these. He also dressed kinda like jersey shore cast so you get the idea. Anyways after several days in the job of fighting fire his boots started to peel at the sole. Somehow he was able to get a standard set of boots but point is that you will never regret putting quality into your shoes especially if they protect your feet.

For me I have a binary allocation for things I need to do and avoid. I use this for health and training. They’re set to get me towards primary goals. Main strategy is more in the POSITIVE and less in the NEGATIVE. this changes based on your day, needs but easy question is if the item/practice/choice is an advantage or disadvantage. As you stack your positives, advantages you develop resilience to things in the Negative /disadvantage bin.

Here’s why you program out training: Bc you’re making the best use of your time. Your goal depends on what you do from where you’re at. Something may be better than nothing yes, but your time matters so make your sessions matter. Why they matter is up to you. This may vary by session and how you feel that day. Hence the need for a system over a rigid “this normie did this and that”. The body changes so you’ll need to be smarter than the miles and weights. This is what I’ve found useful after the last 15 years.

They want you to give up. They want you to stay down for the last time. They want you to depend on them. Do not give up. Your bloodline, past and present, needs you. Plant the tree whose shade you won’t get. If it gets hard reach out. We win together, decentralized.

I was not homeschooled. But I am suspicious and nearly anti credentials when it comes to teachers plugging those. The requirement for teachers to possess more advanced degrees in public schools is so dumb. Especially when the school district outcomes seem to be lessening.
