Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥳 We did it!

Last month I wrote how I was (likely) getting booted from the LMNT electrolytes affiliate program after 7 years.

There's no animosity though.

They've been great to work with. I just don't promote their product much because I don't think you need them. 

Electrolytes can be helpful while transitioning to a carnivore diet and for athletes that need an extra boost. Also good for just a tasty drink.

I use a bit of the chocolate flavor in my coffee. Total game changer.

Also, since I've started cardio (I'm in my fat loss phase), I've added a bit more in the evening too.

But LMNT need their partners to hit certain milestones, and because I don't promote them all the time, I wasn't hitting them.

So a month ago, I wrote this in this newsletter:

I think I'm getting the axe, unless about 1000 people use this link to buy.

And guess what, this is the email I got this week...

We did it!!! 🥳🥳🥳

Thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏

Moving forward, I'll continue not to promote them much, but they are a quality product, so if you ever want to give them a try, use this link :)

🥩 What got featured:

I was one of the original LMNT affiliates. 

I recommended their electrolytes in "The Ultimate 30-Day Guide to Going Full Carnivore" that I wrote in 2017. 

The guide has been downloaded hundreds of thousands of times. And it's still live, still downloaded many times every day.

In fact, I saw in a recent Men's Health article, the author said he used the 30-day guide in his Carnivore Diet experiment. 

But he must not have read the guide carefully though...

Perhaps he needed to add in some LMNT!

🖋️ What I'm writing now:

A lesson from the last 7 years...I should have went into supplements instead of education! 😂

Alas, I still haven't learned my lesson.

Right now, I'm writing a book on what your teeth say you should eat.

My thesis is: The diets of people who lived before modern dentistry was needed can tell us a great deal about what we should eat. And vice versa. The diet changes that led to widespread cavities, malocclusion, and fatty tongue indicate foods incongruent with our biology.

This week I organized nearly 2,000 pages of notes into their respective chapters and subsections. This was a big milestone. Now I can actually get to writing.

More to come!

💡How to go faster:

If there's something you need to do but don't want to, try friendly competition.

For example, cardio, which I started doing again recently per my fat loss protocol.

I started by competing with myself. The goal was to do 5 miles of biking at level 7 resistance in under 15 minutes.

My friend then joined the challenge and did 5 miles in 14:30 seconds.

So then, of course, the next time, I had a bit more motivation...

Friendly competition makes pain more endurable.

P.S.

I've been able to get my heart rate into the 190s and stay aerobic, maintaining only nasal breathing. 

I find this fascinating because prior to the last few weeks I haven't done much cardio at all...for years. I think the key to regaining this cardiac fitness so quickly is diet, resistance training, and maintaining a habit of only nasal breathing.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"Being overwhelmed is often as unproductive as doing nothing, and is far more unpleasant. Being selective—doing less—is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest."

– Tim Ferriss, on doing less to do more

✂️ What got cut in half:

Only 21 million bitcoin will ever exist. About 19.5 million have been mined already, leaving only about 1.5 million bitcoin left to mine over the next 126 years.

The reason it's going to take so long to issue the rest of the bitcoin supply is because the amount that gets mined is cut in half every 4 years.

We celebrated a halving this past week!

Per history, after halvings we see a massive run up in bitcoin price.

One explanation is the change in the stock to flow ratio.

This model predicts an average price of the next 4 years of ~$500k 😲

🤗 What it looked like:

I went to pick up my 5-year-old nephew from his basketball game. 

When he saw me he ran off the court in the middle of play to give me a hug. It was the sweetest thing ever. 

It looked kind of like this. 

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