Finished the video today. If people can watch this with an open mind and without judgement it will be life-changing. All of humanity's problems explained in one video and as someone struggling with a non-dual perception of the reality, the last 15 minutes were quite mindblowing. This was like a summary of your last 2 years work handed on a silver platter. This and the integrity videos were the top so far this year. ""God"" bless your work

Love seeing this one come back to life. Anyone posted this gem yet? I might be late to the party

@levani you may want to check Seth Godin's This is Marketing. Somebody recommended it to me here and it is gold. Not your traditional "screw your client over"marketing advice thou but necessary if you want to make your life purpose a profitable career as well

soak them overnight, then boil to the point you can effortlessly squash them, then start small. A tablespoon a day. You'll build up the tolerance soon as your gut adjusts

there's much more to worry about from 300grams of it daily than iron overload especially since (it seems like) you are limiting your fibre intake largely so losing the protection against all the damage in the gut. None of my business but I'd say try to shuffle out some of that red meat with some plant proteins if you wanna be around long enough to see your grandchildren also, take EXTREME caution when listening into Frank Tufano. I watched many of vis videos and some of his advice is flat out dangerous and insane.

There will often be occasional rogue studies pointing to something and saying "this is wrong". This study does it nicely. Their aim, if you notice, was not to see whether there is any correlation between serum vitamin D and covid complications. They were looking at Genetically predicted variation in serum vitamin D status, instrumented by genome-wide significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with serum vitamin D or risk of vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. Which basically means looking at the few genes polymorphisms (of which 99% we don't know yet) and seeing if they predispose a person to vitamin D deficiency and covid complications. This study is not interpreting the evidence of serum vitamin D and fatal outcomes of covid. The evidence presented by @Tetcher is actually very decent and good quality and not to be discounted the way you did. One of his links is a large systemic trial (highest quality of hierarchy of evidence) which clearly shows protective effect. Just because an observational study looking at genetic snips shows no correlation does not mean there is none. You can't draw a correlation between 2 factors when covid is systemic and multifactorial infection. A multitude of systems and molecules are in play and vitamin D, based on overall evidence, is helpful regardless of what this observation study shows. The majority of the human population is largely deficient or borderline deficient and 80/100 people will benefit from vitamin D supplementation because most of us get nowhere near enough sunshine or eat enough dietary D. All this study does is probably create another hysteria in media discounting people from getting their vitamin D in check as they rightfully should Also I want point out that nowhere in the Cornell study did they actually make a stratification of : how much vitamin D do ppl have and how much does that impact complications. They simply said: are you deficient? Yes? No? But based on their criteria you could be deficient with 50nmol/l but not be deficient at 76nmol/l and that would already skew the results because we know from larger systemic trials that optimal value of D is between 160-170nmol/L. I would love to see a study looking at the levels and how complications evolve as levels increase. You can't just say: deficient or not. You need to show by how much or by how little which they failed to do

It takes much longer than 3-5 days to run out of electrolytes, your body conserves them in kidneys, adrenals, nervous system and digestive tract because historically we would have evolved in an environment with a limited amount of sodium. Potassium is abundant and so is magnesium and once you stop moving around and will mostly rest, you won't burn through your storage. You'd have to be starving yourself for a month for it to start affecting your heart, the body is very efficient and resourceful at obtaining electrolytes if they are not coming from diet, it'll find them from somewhere else. It is a nice safety precaution to be sure thou.

@sausagehead he is referring to a lot of random blogs and any studies he uses are invitro basically dripping coffee on a petri dish and mixing it with one other thing and seeing what happens. The MRI stuff is quite interesting though. Yes caffeine may have some beta-adrenergic antagonistic effects constricting blood vessels but larger studies on humans actually show beneficial effects for dementia and alzheimer's and stroke all of which are partially also shown by lack of cerebral oxygenation so it ain't as simple as that. Plus they only looked at one person, there could be other factors in play such as being stressed as fuck from being on video and being put in a coffin (getting MRI feels like being buried alive). If this guy was looking for objective truth he would have to start from the top of the hierarchy of evidence which is systematic trial and meta-analyses, most of those show beneficial effect of caffeine. Isolated in vitro studies are the bottom of hierarchy of evidence. He clearly has a bias against it and was looking for studies supporting that bias.

Definitely not, contains corn syrup + sugar, soy concentrate, calcium caseinate ( poorly-absorbable form of calcium) and calcium phosphate (you want to minimise phosphate intake to absolute minimum) Any form of soy proteins should always be avoided despite all the benefits of fermented soy, this stuff is definitely not good for you although I've seen worse

did you eat your legumes raw? nom nom You can literally make this a staple of your diet. 9/10 of my meals are based on legume/vegetable/spice basis + some tofu. Legumes are the most complete food on the planet, in fact I'd go as far as to call them superfoods. Hmm, not for oats and buckwheat, if you look into their micronutrient value and compare them to other empty carbs (w.g. white pasta, white bread), wholegrains are actually pretty good. Much better than rice, potatoes or bakery products. A cup of buckwheat will give you your day's need of B-vitamins, magnesium and copper

@ivankiss I think you got some nice balance in there. Some good proteins, carbs, fat, good amount of veggies and fruits. Pound per pound, things like legumes (beans, lentils, chickpeas) are the cheapest and most nutrient-dense food on the planet. I'm in UK and here there are these bulk companies where you can order like 5 kilos of red lentils for 8 pounds. I'd look up companies like that and order nuts, seeds, beans and lentils in bulk. Then add these to meals. If they are raw, soak them for 12-24 hours and then cook until soft. Legumes are a brilliant source of protein fibre and carbs and you can literally eat them indefinitely without a worry of getting fat. Then maybe get like 2-3 kilos of walnuts and 2 kilos of almonds. I'd also look into buying some nice long grain high-fibre rice in bulk. Here I buy these 4 kilo bags. Just make sure to soak the rice as well (arsenic). I also buy my spices, tofu, teas, pasta and wholegrains this way. So you pay like 150-200 euros once, but you get a huge box and then you have the staple of your carbs and protein for 2 months. All you have to keep buying are fruits and veggies. Also if you can spare the money ,pressure cooker, I found, is the most effective way to make amazingly delicious meals that are super cheap, healthy and that provide you enough food for up to 10 portions. You can't get it cheaper than that. And you also save time and energy because these things are ridiculously energy efficient. I got one from Tefal Hope that helps. Happy to share more if you're interested

well, brain is the first to feel that something is wrong so it is a good sign that something needs to change Unfortunatelly it is a common one so people just learn to live with it or cover with caffeine plaster

exactly! The thing about body fat, especially the type that accumulates around the belly is that it is not just idle tissue but it is very metabolically active. That fat tissue is like a factory for pro-inflammatory molecules (cytokines) and it also aromatises your testosterone into oestrogen so yah, drop any excess bellyfat and it will impact hormones positively for sure Besides that it also damages your microbiome and it may be contributing to brain fog

I didn't sorry I jumped into conclusion, let me delete my post

Nothing raises a mammalian (natural) oestrogen in the body. No food has that sort of impact. This is a common misconception. Food may "sit" in oestrogen receptors but it cannot impact your natural steroid secretions. Same when people thing [add food] raises or decreases testosterone. Nothing does that. What decreases natural testosterone secretion is hypogonadism, being castrated or having a genetic defect or something like a pituitary tumour. There may however be things externally that are interfering with hormonal balance and that can be "stealing" your testosterone and making it into oestrogen (through a process called aromatisation). Things like sugar, being fat, being insulin resistant and being inflamed do that generally and so does lack of physical activity. Soy is beneficial overall. Despite all the fearmongering on the internet, there is no harm to consuming it. It does not give you manboobs or cancer or anything. As a guy soy protects you from prostate cancer. It is not a goitrogen and it is not going to make your dick shrink or turn you into a woman I would however eat it organic and fermented simply due to glyphosate pesticides being used but hey, pesticides are an issue with everything these days so this argument is not valid just for soy. That being said I would absolutely avoid soy concentrates like soy protein , soy powders as those are most contaminated and at such amount it may stimulate IGF-1, a growth factor. But so can dairy and chicken. ...For same reason you should also avoid casein, whey and all dairy concentrates as well. So, long story short, Soy is good for you, don't be afraid of it. Fermented is preferable because it is easier to digest and you lose some of the pesticides. If you can get your tofu or tempeh organic even better. A lot of broscioence is based on nothing, these people don't know how to interpret the research and how to read studies or distinguish shit studies from high-quality ones. A lot of studies against soy are mechanistic or in-viro, the largest systemic trials and meta analyses all show beneficial effects.

Find healthier alternatives that will give you the same reaction And eliminate all cakes and junk from sight. Don't buy it, don't enter the shopping aisles when they are found and don't go shopping when you are hungry. If you get the craving rather than giving in allow yourself to "ride" that feeling and submerge yourself in that. Become an observe rather than a slave of your desires and it will go away. If nothing else helps, have some 90% dark chocolate available to quench that desire with something healthier

As Leo said, over 50% of global population are deficient, some critically. Ever saw those kids with crooked legs, that's what deficiency does to you. Deficiency can harm your gut, your teeth, your bones, your thyroid and even accelerate autoimmunity. It can even accelerate massive depression. Vitamin D is no fun to play around with. Get it tested and if your levels are below 55-60 ng/mL start to supplement until you get to 90-95.

Sometimes it can help but I wouldn't take it indefinitely. If you are going for it, buy a good quality one, made of wholefood ingredients otherwise the absorption is <10% and you're buying expensive pee. Not to mention cheap multivitamins come packed in a lot of garbage that you don't need in the body. But in the long run, all your micros should come from diet. Vitamin D is the only one that can be difficult to get enough of but if you get enough sunshine you may not need that one either

Take a step back and reevaluate your goals? Maybe you are heading down the wrong road and need to go back to the last known intersection, whatever that means for you. It is not cowardly to go back to drawing board but it is unwise to pursue a goal that may not necessarily be achievable even if the original idea and the vision were powerful.

I was contemplating what it is that gets men attracted to buts and hips and boobs and it is exactly that. Boobs mean the chances of offspring dying of malnutrition are lower (although size has nothing to do with lactation volume), hips & bum mean more space for baby during birth means possibility of bigger baby which means higher chances of the offspring not dying during early days. Funny how evolution turned us in horny sex machines where in reality we only want what is best for our babies However this brings me to the next question, why do women like men with more profound jawline? -
your brain cannot focus for that period of time and still retain information unless you are on enhancing drugs. Your dopaminergic circuits need to get recharged after such an extended period of focus. This is very individual but the peak focus starts to come down after 2-3 hours and you only get one or two of those per day. Don't take that as a limiting belief, if you can go for longer by all means do. it'll probably produce a lot of confusion. It may be better strategy to focus on one subject for a period of time and then switch to next such as doing subject 1 for 2 weeks then take a break then switch to subject 2. It will be easier to memorise information related to each other (e.g. only study biology) then cross reference and study biology for 2 hours then engineering for 2 hours then astrophysics for 2 hours. At the end of the day the retention will be 5%
