Social media platforms are shifting toward increasingly chaotic and violent content, raising questions about the intent behind these algorithmic changes. I noticed my feed became perversely violent in the last few weeks. It was causing me to have adrenaline dumps that I felt in my gut.

Not using THC on most days was hard the first week or so but then I really only found it hard after a hard BJJ session when I was hurting all over. 2. No weed hangovers in the morning was nice and I was able to journal before I had a coffee. 3. Body comp essentially no change. 4. psilocybin microdose wasn't missed either, although it'll be interesting to see if my tolerance has gone down. I'm ready for tomorrow's MISOGI.

We do more intense challenges over there and dive more deeply into the topics that make us Harder to Kill. Watch my explanation and let us know if you're going to participate this weekend.

Friday's PEPTIDE workshop got into the nitty-gritty of how to make an informed decision on whether their use is right for you. We created a decision matrix for Ozempic, BPC 157 and TB 500.

Good morning bro, I was just talking with Simon McGinnis and I'm wondering do you still have that turmeric tea recipe? I can't find it anywhere but I'd love to make a batch
