Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🦷 How to cure gingivitis:

After months of back-and-forth, our schedules aligned and Dr. Ken Berry and I got to talk about how to prevent cavities, cure gum disease, and much more with a proper human diet.

This was a YouTube Live and a lot of great questions came through. 

We discussed:

• Cavities (causes and cures)
• Teeth in the fossil record (why our ancestors had perfect teeth)
• Fluoride, Root Canals, Implants, Amalgams (aka "Silver" or "Mercury" Fillings)

...and what all these things have to do with what you eat.

You're going to enjoy this one.

🎁 What gifts I have coming your way:

The body gives us many clues about what we should eat.

Some of the best clues come from the mouth.

Dr. Ken Berry and I only touched the tip of the iceberg. We didn't get to cover craniofacial development, crooked teeth, or the airway (fatty tongue, sleep disordered breathing, snoring, and obstructive sleep apnea), so we might have to do Round 2 sometime.

But you won't have to hold your breath...

The reason it took Dr. Berry and I so long to connect and the reason why it was the 1st podcast I've done in quite some time, is that I've been working on some things for you.

I have a gift coming your way next week. It's been months in the making and I think you're going to love it.

I also have another gift. It's been quite literally YEARS in the making. Also, coming your way next week.

If there's one Saturday 7 you don't want to miss this year...it's next week's :)

🎉 What to do ASAP:

Don't defer fun experiences. Do them ASAP. 

They are worth more now than later because of "memory dividends."

Experiences keep on giving in the form of fulfillment from getting to re-live and re-experience them in your memories.

Of course, balance this with the great work that you do...

💡How to do great work (Part 2):

A couple weeks ago, I linked an essay on how to do great work.

That essay led me down a rabbit hole where I stumbled upon a classic lecture by Richard Hamming called, "You and Your Research." It could just as easily be called "You and your Career," as he outlines broad principles of success.

Here are my 3 takeaways:

1. Pursue the right problem, at the right time, in the right way
2. Combine individual focus with collaboration
3. Aim for excellence
    

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"What you work on and who you work with is more impactful than how hard you work. Work hard enough, but get the first two right."

– Shaan Puri

📈 How to level up:

After reading Hamming's lecture, You and Your Research, I saw a video that inadvertently expanded on his ideas in a modern context. 

For example, "How do you find the right problem to work on?" and "How do you foster collaboration?" and "How do you aim for excellence?" 

Here's some answers:

1. Discovering it: It feels like play to you but looks like work to others
2. Immersing in it: Surround yourself with others doing the same
3. Amplifying it: Take a simple strategy and turn up the intensity

🤖 Have you seen these robots:

AI is all the rage, but have you seen what's happened during the last 40 years of robotics?

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.

I told the doctor I got bit by a wolf.

"Where?" she asked.

"No, just a regular."
