👨🔬 What about the fact meat is acidic -
- "Isn't meat acidic?" There is a fear that meat and all the protein that gets broken down into amino "acids" will cause the body to leach calcium out of the bones to balance the pH. I put up a couple slides on the topic.
- I also did a Carnivore Q and A - you can watch a recap here (it's in the VIP area; password: 2020)

⚖ What's a powerful duo -
- I think there is a very fine line, one that I've had a hard balancing, between commitment and the ability to change your mind. I've always been the kind of person where if I said I was going to do something, I did it. No turning back. For better or worse. And while I think following through and keeping your word is hugely important, I also think there is an art to changing your mind. To being able to say "I was wrong" and there is a better course of action. When I started giving myself
permission to change my mind (in the right circumstances) it freed me to make decisions that I'd otherwise be afraid to commit to. I've found that if I get this balance right, it gives me the ability to commit AND course correct, a powerful duo.

🔎 What is the solution to almost all problems -
- This short piece is full of priceless, simple advice, that is anything but simple to follow. It explains how the solution to almost any life problem is to fall in love with the process, not to agonize over the end goal. If you focus on the gap between where you are and where you want to be, you'll be miserable. But if you can instead focus on your
new "identity" as the person with the change, you'll reach your goal faster and more happily.

🤗 What I'm embracing -
- Last week I released my 1st song. And I'm trying to embrace being a noob. I received so many kind messages about the courage it must take to put a bad song out there. But really, why should I (or anyone) be embarrassed about being a beginner? About still learning? For some reason if you're over 18
it seems like it's not ok to still be learning - not ok to be a noob. But I remember someone saying that if you're always the smartest person in the room, it likely means you're never learning.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about -
"If you're overly worried about looking bad at something, you'll never have to worry about being good at anything."

💲 What's your Plan B -
- Warning - if you listen to this podcast by Plan B, bitcoin may become your Plan A. In it they discuss the bitcoin halving that is coming in May which they estimate will increase bitcoin's value by 8-10x (BTC price of $50 - 100k). Moreover, if bitcoin proves to be inversely correlated with traditional assets and we have a large down turn in the market (which some people are predicting in the
not-too-distant future), it'll be an undeniable safe-haven asset, thus pumping it's value even higher.

🙉 What happens if you win the popularity game -
- I was talking with Dr. Paul Saladino this week and before we started the podcast I was asking him about his crazy year, gaining over a 100,000 social media followers, being on some of the most influential health podcasts, and just this week making an appearance on The Doctor's TV show. And while this all seems so amazing from the outside, Paul has been feeling a lot of stress. It can be a mean place in the spotlight. And serendipitously right after our podcast, I was sent
this article that is an eye-opening look into "becoming famous." It impressed upon me how much kindness matters - even to those seemingly on top of the world.
