Kool Health Weekly Digest: Biohacking, Experiments, and Emotional Journeys
Week of March 15, 2024
Whatup KH Krew,
Welcome back to our one-stop shop for the cutting edge in biohacking, my wild experiments, and the kind of emotional stories that make you feel unstoppable.
This is Kool Health, your weekly catalyst for transformation.
Spring Forward with a Sleep Hack
Yes, the Illuminati played us again – we lost an hour!
But no worries, here's how you bounce back from a night of too much fun, Netflix, or Illuminati hunting:
Stay Hydrated: Replenish with magnesium, Celtic sea salt, and trace minerals.
Caffeinate Smart: Limit yourself to 300mg of caffeine, cutting off by 1 PM.
Move it: Reset your circadian rhythm with gentle activity, not a marathon.
Eat Right: Opt for protein over sugar to stay awake and alert.
Boost Immunity: Counter the sleep deficit with bone broth, vitamin C, and NAC.
Nap Right: A short mid-afternoon nap can be your secret weapon – but don't overdo it
Experiment of the Week: Morning Creativity Sessions
Ditching the morning reading for direct writing has unlocked 2-3 strong ideas every day.
Here’s my Morning Creativity Protocol:
Complete your usual morning self-care routine.
Turn on the Wi-Fi (assuming you turned it off).
Dive into writing for 15-30 minutes (or more if you’re feeling it).
You'll be amazed at what flows out.
Insight of the Week: The Dark Side of Vitamins
Diving into the murky waters of the supplement industry, I've discovered most vitamins are more villain than hero. Check out this article. Makes me wonder.
Here's why you should question what's in your vitamin bottle.
Identifying Quality in Supplements
Concerning Binders and Fillers:
Magnesium stearate: Often used as a lubricant; can impede nutrient absorption.
Titanium dioxide: Used for color; potential inflammatory properties.
Questionable Vitamin Forms:
Synthetic Vitamin E (dl-alpha-tocopheryl acetate): Less bioavailable than natural forms.
Folic Acid: Synthetic form of folate; can be problematic for those with MTHFR mutations affecting folate metabolism.
Reputable Brands: Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, Kion
Prioritize transparency, rigorous testing, and bioavailability.
The Kool Health Supplement Stack: Simplified
Finally, The Stack
Taking beef organs has become a cornerstone of my supplement regimen, truly nature's multivitamin.
I've been exploring an ancient concept that suggests consuming an animal's organ benefits the corresponding organ in the human body.
Native Americans and other traditional societies have observed that everything in nature is connected to the human body, with certain foods and animal organs resembling the parts of the body they benefit.
For instance:
Liver for detoxification and nutrient metabolism support, due to its high vitamin A and essential fatty acids content.
Heart is rich in CoQ10, supporting heart health.
Kidneys support detoxification and healthy kidney function.
Brain offers essential fatty acids, supporting cognitive function.
Anyway, enough of going down the rabbit hole.
I recommend trying some beef organs to see how you feel. Heart & Soil does a wonderful job
Personally, I feel great and don't need to take any multivitamins.
SO
After years of trial and error, here's the supplements worth your time and money:
Beef Organs: For unparalleled nutrient density.
Kion Aminos: The Swiss army knife of supplements.
Digestive Enzymes: For optimal nutrient absorption and digestion.
Stay tuned for the complete list and deeper insights.
Workout of the Week: Kettlebell Swings
After reading Tim Ferriss's "4-Hour Body" and his comments on how he got super shredded by simply doing kettlebell swings as an abs workout and barbell rows, I've started every workout with the swings.
They make your booty pop and your back-line incredibly strong.
I absolutely love this workout; it feels like I'm doing deadlifts, squats, and explosive cardio all at the same time.
Here are three tips for perfecting your kettlebell swing:
Stance and Grip: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out. Bend at the hips to grip the kettlebell with both hands, palms facing you.
The Swing: Bend your knees slightly, then drive through your hips to swing the kettlebell up to chest height. Keep your arms straight and your core engaged.
Control and Return: Let the kettlebell swing back down as you hinge at the hips and slightly bend your knees. Maintain control and use the momentum to begin the next swing.
It's GOATED.
Listen I know the photo is in Spanish…. BUT it’s the most accurate photo I could find on the internet for a KB swing, just copy him haha.
