🥛 What to choose: Low fat vs High Fat Dairy:
This probably won't surprise you. But it seems the American Heart Association (AHA) and European Society of Cardiology (ESC) may have it wrong. They promote the consumption of low fat dairy but recommend eschewing the high saturated fat dairy due to cardiometabolic risks. The latest evidence suggest these recommendations are likely outdated. Surprise surprise.
The saturated fat in dairy is my least concern about dairy (I consider it one of the benefits). But I think categorizing dairy in one big bucket is short-sighted. There are unique aspects of dairy to consider ( A1 vs A2, lactose, and alpha S1 casein). Certain types of dairy can be ok for some, but not for others.

🦠 How to fix the gut:
While we are talking about the latest research, I saw that a case study was just published using a pure carnivore diet to treat SIBO. SIBO is bacterial overgrowth into the small intestine (those bacteria are suppose to stay in the large intestine). And 6 patients used a zero carbohydrate, zero fiber diet to " eliminate these carbohydrate favouring bacteria through
starvation while still providing plenty of both calories and nutrients." I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. I look forward to the next decade of research with headlines like meat-based / carnivore diet used to reverse: T2D, obesity, hypertension, autoimmune conditions, and so on.
FYI the researchers also noted: According to our observations it also results in better satisfaction after meals, decreases cravings for sweets and generates weight-loss in patients where it is needed

🔁 What I'm going to keep doing:
I'm going to keep shipping. It's something I learned from Seth Godin. I've read all of his books (20). And I can summarize most of them in one word. Ship. And if I had 3 more words: Then ship again. If you are a writer, hit publish on the blog post, and start your next article. An artist, put a frame on it and start the next masterpiece. A musician,
release it, and start writing the next melody. An entrepreneur, sell it, and start improving the product with every iteration. A coder, go live with it, and start creating the next feature. There is an unseen power at work when you ship, and ship consistently.

📦 What I shipped:
The reason I set my 2020 Challenge to make 1 song / month was to force the shipping. Let everything else take care of itself. This month I finished up song #13, bullseye. If I didn't have this shipping mantra, I probably wouldn't have finished it, and definitely wouldn't have released it. It's not my favorite song. Wasn't created with any flash of inspiration. But I've
come to believe that those flashes only come when the source of that inspiration knows you'll deliver on it. So I'm going to keep on shipping.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"Your turn. Imagine that the world had no middlemen, no publishers, no bosses, no HR folks, no one telling you what you couldn't do. If you lived in that world, what would you do? Go do that."
– Seth Godin
