Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup!

🥩 What makes everything better:

Taurine improves lipids, blood pressure, glycemic control, liver function, and inflammation. (r)

Taurine is found almost exclusively in animal foods.

Yet people limit animal foods to try and improve lipids, blood pressure, liver function, and inflammation.

💤 When 10 years of work works:

I got this message this week:

When I started down this road, I didn't realize product development / entrepreneurship was so high stress, with constant uncertainty and long stretches where you wonder if anything will work or ever matter.

Then eventually, someday, messages like this show up.

And they are much appreciated 🙏

Having lived the struggle, I try to pay it forward as often as I can. When something genuinely helps me, I say so. It costs me nothing and can mean the world to the person on the other end who's grinding away wondering if their work matters.

🚰 What's in your water:

The Environmental Working Group publishes a database on toxic chemicals in drinking water.

Check the quality of your local water.

💡 Who are you:

Want insights into your personality?

Take a psychology assessment (~40 min) and get back a 10,000-word profile of yourself including attachment style, love languages, conflict patterns, and more.

The most personal therapy session you can do in 40 minutes.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:

"Confidence is less about knowing you’ll win and more about knowing you’ll bounce back even if you don’t. Real confidence is built on resilience. Adaptability. Tolerance for uncertainty. Fear loses when you embrace that failure is never final."

📊 What's the biggest mistake:

The biggest mistake lottery winners make.

Catchy title, but really it discusses the biggest financial mistakes most people make.

💩 Can you smell that:

I have a good sense of smell. People around me say it's too good. Smells bother me that most don’t notice.

But your sense of smell can detect health risks.

So, should doctors start testing patients' sense of smell?

As always, it's an honor getting to spend some time with you.

Hope you have a great weekend!
