Fasted Workout Nutrition
- Consume 10g of essential amino acids during fasted workouts to prevent muscle catabolism.
- Avoid BCAAs in the fasted state, as they are insulinogenic.
Daily Detox Practices
- Prioritize daily detox practices like sauna and coffee enemas over occasional cleanses.
- Incorporate movement, like rebounding and vibration platforms, for lymphatic flow.
Exercise-Induced Rhinitis Relief
- Try a histamine-blocking supplement like HistaBlock to relieve exercise-induced rhinitis.

21 Lessons for the 21st Century
Yuval Noah Harari
In '21 Lessons for the 21st Century', Yuval Noah Harari tackles the most pressing questions of our time. The book explores issues such as the crisis of liberal democracy, the rise of nationalism, the impact of technological advancements, the threat of terrorism, and the challenges posed by climate change and nuclear war. Harari presents these complex contemporary challenges clearly and accessibly, inviting readers to consider values, meaning, and personal engagement in a world filled with noise and uncertainty. He emphasizes the need for critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity in navigating the future and suggests that individuals must identify strongly with a global community to confront global problems effectively.
Dirty Genes
Esther Minskoff
The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMFs
Nicolas Pineault
This book provides a straightforward approach to understanding the risks associated with electromagnetic fields (EMFs) from devices like smartphones and Wi-Fi routers. It offers practical tips on how to minimize exposure without abandoning modern technology. The book covers topics such as the health impacts of EMFs, how to reduce cellphone radiation, and safer alternatives to common devices.
Free to Learn
Peter Gray
In "Free to Learn," Peter Gray argues for a more child-centered approach to education, emphasizing the importance of unstructured play and exploration in a child's development. He challenges traditional schooling methods, advocating for increased autonomy and freedom for children to learn at their own pace and in their own way. Gray draws on anthropological research and evolutionary psychology to support his claims, highlighting the detrimental effects of excessive adult supervision and control. The book promotes a shift towards a more playful and less structured learning environment, fostering creativity, self-reliance, and a love of learning. It offers practical advice for parents and educators seeking to create more enriching and empowering experiences for children.
