carb for classic glucose-fueled energy or keto to fuel a fat-burning state instead

primarily supports a whole-foods diet but could potentially fully replace it

ease in; the fiber load is significant

individual responses to supplements vary; start low and listen to your body + intuition

highly recommended to do your bloodwork & study potential (side) effects before starting

choose reputable vendors that lab-test every batch, like the one linked, as many contain contaminants

notes

go big; larger bags are cheaper long-term

hunt for deals; black friday & other sales are your best friend for stocking up

cycling nootropics and adaptogens like ashwagandha (e.g., 4-6 weeks on, 1-2 weeks off) may help avoid downregulation

you might benefit from cycling other supplements too

lion's mane boasts centuries of harmless, beneficial use, yet a fresh echo chamber brands it as dangerous

rare risks aside, form your own verdict from the facts

physical

environment

optimize your indoor environment (study basic feng shui principles). keep track of air quality and use air filters if needed (a DIY Corsi-Rosenthal box is cheap and effective) and check for mold

a safe living environment is non-negotiable. calm situational awareness, trusting your intuition and staying quietly capable tend to handle most real-world risks

flicker-free (DC-powered), full-spectrum incandescent lights are the preferred ones (check any light for flicker with phone camera in slow-mo / high framerate). red light therapy, mainly on your face and thyroid, can also be beneficial

minimize EMF & dirty electricity: airplane mode on phones when near body and not in use, wifi off at night, wired internet > wifi. hunt wiring noise with AM radio tuned to static; ferrite cores / DC power / stetzer filters to silence it

stay hydrated but avoid drinking most unfiltered tap water. if natural spring water isn't available, filter thoroughly and re-mineralize with electrolytes and trace minerals. use a shower filter if needed

using steel, cast iron or ceramic cookware is preferred over teflon non-stick cookware to avoid chemicals leaching into food or the air

avoid plastic as much as possible, especially for heating or storing food and drinks. use glass, stainless steel and paper instead to minimize microplastic exposure

natural fabrics like cotton, linen and wool are preferred directly on your body, especially for underwear, to avoid potential disruption from synthetics like polyester

fluoride toothpaste can be replaced with a hydroxyapatite-based alternative

awnings are criminally underrated during summer; zero-energy cooling that slashes indoor temps and minimizes AC use


action

the real performance stack is good habits, sleep, sunlight and passive income. fixing your bank account will for sure reduce chronic stress

eat a whole-foods diet. generally if your great-grandma wouldn't recognize the ingredients, avoid it. this naturally eliminates most processed foods and seed oils (high in polyunsaturated fats like linoleic acid)

sun good, burn bad. get morning sunlight exposure shortly after waking up

eyesight protocol: sunrise/sunset on closed eyelids, daily long-distance gazing & relaxing tension, ditch sunglasses unless extreme glare, palm eyes when strained

lock in ideal posture: chin tucked, shoulders back & down, ribs not flared, pelvis neutral, feet straight, tongue on palate

prioritize your sleep. track your REM & deep sleep percentages. go to bed early and wake up early. avoid blue light after sunset

exercise daily, unless sick then rest. movement + clean food + good sleep = rock-solid foundation

consume caffeine in moderation, only early in the day and cycle off every few weeks to reset tolerance. if you get anxiety from caffeine then pair it with l-theanine or avoid it

intermittent fasting can deliver razor-sharp clarity, trigger autophagy for deep healing, surge growth hormone, plus stack dozens more proven benefits

practice contrast therapy: dry sauna followed by a cold plunge. if male: keep your danglers cool in the sauna with cold water &/ ice

splash your face with ice-cold water (or go harder with a full cold plunge) to wake up instantly and fire up your system

ground yourself at least 10-20 minutes daily by walking barefoot on the ground

generate your own electricity when possible. going fully or partially off-grid with solar + batteries is preferred:


business

shift from extraction to co-creation. compounding value follows

the system taxes the noisy while refunding the quiet literate

cash flow keeps you solvent. ownership keeps you sovereign

amateurs pay retail. pros deduct it as a business expense

crashing markets are clearance racks for the patient

hustle scales linearly. systems scale exponentially

cash moves the needle. leverage moves the board

a job pays bills. an asset pays freedom

true freedom has no strings attached


mental

aura

effortless ease compounds aura. anxious stress depletes it

who you know pays rent on relevance. who knows you collects it

discreet excellence compounds value. ostentatious bling depreciates

timeless style is always in season. trend chasing expires by next quarter

competence radiates quiet confidence. incompetence radiates noisy desperation

underpromise and overdeliver compounds respect. overpromise and underdeliver triggers refunds

impeccable timing turns words into gold. missed beats and loud delivery turns them into cringe

respect for self and others dissolves tension. contempt, nitpicking and cynicism multiplies it

gratitude, generosity and skills pay dividends. entitlement, stinginess and excuses go bankrupt

manners open every door. rudeness gets you blacklisted. skills and manners are the ultimate status symbols


zen

this moment is the only moment

wherever you are, there you are

peace is the default state

today is a good day

quiet the mind's 24/7 sports commentator. let silence fill the stadium until only awareness remains

a disciplined mind creates a disciplined body. relentlessly remove what harms you; protect and strengthen what serves you

never be obsessively certain about things you don't know for sure. obsessive compulsive certainty is a cognitive trap rampant in modern society

breath is the remote control for your nervous system. slow nasal cycles drop you into parasympathetic calm instantly. six coherent breaths can reset heart rate variability and clear mental fog faster than caffeine


wizardry

the formula for peak energy is simple

your highest excitement is the compass

be true to yourself and act on it with zero expectation

then the tapestry of your life will rearrange to support you

sharp mind(s) + imagination = the power to channel raw energy into purposeful (co-)creation

understand that everything is energy and vibration in different patterns. your experience is a data stream flowing through consciousness; the world is happening through you, not to you

beliefs shape reality. audit every belief like outdated software; keep only what runs clean and true

consider prayer as direct communication with the source of creation. answers often arrive in subtle, mysterious, or unexpected ways

have a clear intent, it can be the difference between mind over matter vs matter over mind. the world is a co-creation of crystallized intent

develop a clear vision of who you are and who you're becoming. ensure your actions, thoughts and feelings are in alignment

ask yourself the hard questions and contemplate the valuable data in their answers:

who am i? why?

who do i want to be remembered as?

what would i die for? what do i live for?

what are the highest, most aligned versions of me?

what hardships am i willing to endure to live my dreams?

who do i want to spend my time with? in which environments?

what do i want to spend the rest of my life thinking about?

what advice would an older, wiser version of myself give me right now?
