1. What I'm not eating -

• Potatoes are the 4th most common food in the world behind wheat, corn, and rice. This concerns me because they have a special ingredient, the same one used in nerve gas in chemical warfare. 

• In 2017 I did 6 months eating nothing but beef muscle meat ("Level 3" Carnivore Diet). I then tested in other animal-based foods like eggs, salmon, and chicken throughout this year. Recently I experimented adding beef liver in for the first time. I noticed an interesting side effect...I had increased satiety. I was eating less, but wasn't as hunger. It turns out I'm not alone. There's a difference between being "full" (stomach) and "satiated" (brain) - and I think I'm going to talk more about this on instagram this week if this topic interests you. Nonetheless, it seems that the massive nutrient punch from liver may have a satisfying effect.

• My computer screen has seemed more blurry than usual. I often find myself moving my head ever closer to the screen. So I traveled over an hour, across state borders, to go to this special eye doctor. I thought perhaps my eyes had improved from all the liver I was eating :) and maybe my prescription was too strong? But it turns out, my prescription is exactly the same. The doc said my problem was my endless hours staring at a close screen which messes with eye accommodation. So if you're like me, he recommends taking 10 minute breaks every couple hours to look out in the distance. Seems to be helping so far.

• Several years ago I read The Martian by Andy Weir. I loved it. But for some reason, since then I've read exclusively non fiction. Which I think is a mistake. This fiction book has brought a different kind of joy to my morning reading. I feel like I start each day with enhanced imagination and creativity. I won't go that long again before my next fiction book. 

• John Mayer is one of my favorite people on instagram. He somehow perfectly balances entertainment, education, and insight. I also find his authenticity a breath-of-fresh-air in a social media world full of fakeness.

7. What I think is a modern day superpower  -

• I think there are 2 skills, that when combined, give a unique superpower. Yet, this superpower is very rare because the skills seem like opposites. If you have one skill than you can't have the other. But I don't think that's true.

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