One thing I dislike about the social media era is people trying to ‘force’ those with a larger platform/community to have a public opinion on everything — particularly current global events.

It’s entitled.

It's hard because if you're a 'public figure' you are pressured to have a public 'take' on everything. Even if you are not well versed on it.

If you speak, people attack you.

If you don't, people attack you.

Social media has made people less empathetic and less charitable.

Hard truth:

Many people currently in their 20s + 30s will arrive at a place of ill health in their 50s + 60s (or possibly earlier).

Destructive lifestyle habits don't reveal themselves right away - but they will eventually.

The good news: it's never too late to change.

If you had to eat a single berry for the rest of your days, what are you choosing?

It’s a very simple choice for me:

I thought at 30 the human body was supposed to completely deteriorate?

Avocado by itself: With chilli flakes + salt:

Kangaroos just casually look like they’ve been lifting for 10+ years — cracks me up 🤣

beets for brain health + so much more. i like to dilute my beet juice with spring water, and add a little lemon juice to help my body absorb the iron.

If you think that vegetables are bland and boring:

You’ve unfortunately had your tastebuds completely and utterly stolen from you by companies producing ‘foods’ rich in fat, sugar, salt and excess oils.

Elevate vegetables using herbs, spices, citruses, vinegars and more.

This France v South Africa start has been on fire 🔥🏉

Make a habit of regularly revisiting books that have had a profound impact on your life.

A bag full of almond butter and mushroom coffee 🤷🏿‍♂️😂

Happy Sunday friends

When you're lacking motivation, remind yourself: discipline now, freedom later. The labor will pass, and the rewards will last.

One of my favourite books of all time — 4 simple principles for personal freedom and growth:

1. Always do your best
2. Be impeccable with your word
3. Don’t take anything personally
4. Don’t make assumptions

An easy read — and an all-time classic.

Glad to have finally donated some blood yesterday 🩸

Your salads don’t have to be boring:

— Add bitter greens (arugula my top choice)
- Put 1 or 2 plant protein sources in there (tempeh/tofu, chickpeas, beans, lentils)
- A source of fat (avocado, tahini)
- Add ferments (sauerkraut, kimchi)
- Make a homemade dressing

Good to go 👍🏿

If you feel *extra* groggy in the mornings, DON’T snooze your alarm as it will worsen sleep inertia (which is the feeling of reduced cognitive awareness in the morning from forced awakedness)

Repeatedly forcing yourself out of sleep isn’t a good idea 👍🏿 jphysiolanthropol.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

I used to be in the camp of blaming doctors for constantly favouring drugs over lifestyle changes, but it’s a little more than that.

Do we overmedicate? Yes

But are the efforts of doctors to encourage patient lifestyle change ignored and refused by said patients? Also yes

Completely useless chart which doesn’t take into account muscle mass, bone density, ethnicity. BMI needs putting in the bin 🗑️
