• While eating just meat for years on end was a common occurrence for much of human history (until the agricultural revolution), today it's quite rare to find people who have eaten this way for over a decade. So I had to tune in when I saw a bunch of the OG carnivores chatting about their experiences of 10+ years of just eating meat.

• Sleep is important. I'm finishing up a 70-hour program on sleep this month. I thought it was as simple as closing your eyes, but apparently there is more to it :) A couple things worth noting: Insufficient sleep is linked with increased appetite and obesity (by disrupting appetite hormones).(r) And diaphragmatic breathing, the kind you naturally do in your sleep but should do when you're awake (and singing), decreases cortisol levels (a proxy measure of stress).(r) But most people take shallow "chest breaths" all day, playing a role in the low grade chronic stress most people suffer. This is why, even if your diet is on-point, you exercise, you do all the right things, but sleep is off, health suffers (dramatically), you can't lose weight, you don't have energy, ect...I plan on talking much more about sleep (especially the top reason people get poor sleep - disordered breathing - in 2021) because combine good sleep with meat and life gets a lot brighter!

🎶 What is coming down the homestretch:

• It's December. Last month of the year and my 2020 Challenge (make 1 song/month). I really didn't want to release song #11 this week. As I was finishing it up all I could think about was how terrible it was. But that's the beauty of the challenge - I don't have to decide whether to release it or not - that decision was already made. And that's the real power of a "true commitment." There is no self-negotiations. No wavering. Just follow through. And now just 1 more song to go!  

• Over the last several months I've noted a number of big-time investors that have moved into bitcoin. The last 2 standing, Ray Dalio and Warren Buffet. And recently Dalio admitted, "I might be missing something with bitcoin." But it's not just investors jumping on board, but banks, companies, and even countries that could be jumping in soon. Who's next - google, amazon, apple, microsoft, facebook?
