Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥩 How much is it:

I picked up a 1/2 cow last week. Here's how much you get.

As far as how much it costs, a 1/2 cow is generally going to run $2,000-$3,000. A great investment in your health.

🫁 Can you make it:

You should be able to hold your breath from A to B.

If you can it's an indication of efficient oxygen use, good CO₂ tolerance, calm nervous system, and better endurance.

💪 Why you fatigue and cramp:

...and it highlights the importance of electrolytes (this chocolate one is my favorite in coffee and this is my favorite post-workout).

💡 How to stick to it:

In a recent newsletter from James Clear, the habit-guru wrote:

When determining the size or complexity of a new habit ask yourself: What can I stick to — even on my worst day? Start there. Master the art of showing up. Then advance.

It struck me because this is exactly what I teach in Meat Health Academy. I call it the 4% Rule.

I got the 4% Rue from research on "flow states" that suggests there is a sweet spot just beyond your current abilities, a 4% stretch, where you're neither bored, nor overwhelmed.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"To be interested in the changing seasons is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring."

– George Santayana, on embracing change

📊 What's the trade:

Bitcoin is hitting new all time highs and JPMorgan analysts are calling it part of the "debasement trade," writing:

“The bank defines it as a trade that ‘reflects a combination of factors, which in our client conversations range from elevated geopolitical and policy uncertainty, to uncertainty about the longer-term inflation backdrop, to concerns about ‘debt debasement’ due to persistently high government deficits across major economies, to concerns about Fed independence, to waning confidence in fiat currencies in certain emerging markets in particular, and to broader diversification away from the US dollar.”

So far this year Bitcoin and gold are the top performing major assets because it's becoming clear that the US is going to run big deficits and drop interest rates to try and outgrow the debt.

The debasement trade is on. Buckle up.
