Bridge Biohacking And Homesteading
- Michael Kummer argues biohacking and homesteading must be bridged to get the best health outcomes.
- He says homesteaders lack biohacking knowledge while biohackers rarely grow food, so collaboration matters.
Prepare Foods To Reduce Harm
- Remove skins and seeds from defended plant parts and ferment or pressure-cook when appropriate to reduce toxicity and glycemic impact.
- Listen to your body and moderate intake of high-oxalate or reactive foods rather than assuming all traditional preparations suit you.
Stress Shrinks The Body's Bandwidth
- Chronic stress reduces physiological resources, worsening diet and toxin effects.
- Michael links modern fast-paced life to needing more mitigation efforts than a lower-stress traditional lifestyle required.
