• You can't store protein like you can carbs and fat. So there is a fear that if you eat too much protein it just turns to sugar via gluconeogenesis (GNG). So might as well eat cake! But it doesn't exactly work like this. I put up a couple slide presentations (Part 1 and Part 2) on protein and GNG, and how it relates to blood sugar, ketones, cortisol, and more.

• It's now been over 2 weeks since I've started using the X3 system and I'm still liking it.

• I've been posting up some of my workouts on instagram, and talking about how I like some exercises more than others. For example, I don't like it for triceps, but absolutely loving it for shoulders (overhead press), legs (split squats and calf raises), and of course, biceps :) Like I've mentioned, it is expensive, not for everyone, but if you want to invest in it you can get $50 off with "giveme50" code.

• Just FYI - they were sold out, but I heard they should have some back in stock soon.

• TL;DR -  Wolfram proposes a theoretical framework that reconciles the inconsistencies between quantum mechanics and relativity. It's not proof, it's not upending Einstein's work, but it is fascinating. 

👩‍🔬 What's the secret formula to learning anything -

Watch it + Do it + Feedback + Teach it = Mastery

• I've been thinking about this formula a lot. If I just watch a tutorial, read a book, or listen to a podcast I get a feeling that I've learned something. But unless I put that music production course or drawing tutorial into action immediately, I will 100% of the time have to revisit that education when trying to reproduce that beat or draw hair on a portrait. But if I skip the 1st step, and jump straight to "doing" without "learning" I'll find myself "reinventing the wheel" (likely making a host of easily avoidable mistakes while never actually getting to the usable "wheel").
