how to live powerfully in the present
I wish I'd found this book sooner but I trust in divine timing so perhaps I wasn't ready. I'm sharing it with you because you all are ready. I know how difficult (read: seemingly impossible) it can feel at times to show up today as you'd like to be tomorrow. I wrestled with this very task for years and years and years. If you read this book, my hope is that you wont have to put in as much blood, sweat and tears as I did. Click below; read it; learn it; live it.
when it comes to food, use common sense and be skeptical
Marion Nestle was a professor at NYU while I was getting my masters. She's the GOAT when it comes to nutrition, nutrition science, food politics and understanding the complexities of why we eat what we eat, as well as the role that food manufacturers play in our “illusion of choice.” In this article, she touches on a lot but one of the biggest takeaways is the reminder that education is good and great, but it's rarely enough. We all know what to eat to be healthy. And yet, Nestle says: “Three-quarters of American adults are overweight and obese, which suggests this is a country-wide problem. Everyone overeats. That’s what this is about.”
More often than not, when we think about risk, we think in terms of what might happen if we do z, y or z. We don’t usually think about the opposite, which is what might happen if we don’t. As it relates to long term health and risk of disease, it also doesn’t help our case that risk today might be next to nothing because when we get to the age when risk demands more of our attention, there’s very little we can do. In this short convo, Peter Attia - a brilliant doctor, if you don’t know him look him up - talks about the importance of prioritizing prevention now, when you’re young. He says it’s completely possible to change the disease trajectory of your life at 30 but it’s a lot harder to find the motivation because at 30, we have very few markers reminding us that we’re getting older. This led to me think about the ancient practice of Memento Mori, which is latin for remembrance that you will one day eventually die. I know, not the most uplifting end note - or is it? If you choose to regularly reflect on your unavoidable death, don't you think you might make more of your time here alive on earth?
This recipe slaps. I'm tempted to leave it there and not say anything else because it's kind of a full stop situation but just so you're aware, it's also super healthy, too. I know, shocking. Guaranteed to bring you back to the days of drinking shitty beer in your friend's parents basement, feeling like you know everything and thinking that getting older is a myth so you'll surely stay young forever. Just me? Have fun, kids.
