It's LIVE! Beef Protein + Creatine is finally out. 🙌🏼
This one took a while, and I'm proud of where it landed. Twenty-two grams of grass-fed beef protein isolate and three grams of creatine in every serving. Five ingredients — beef protein, creatine, real vanilla bean, pink salt, monk fruit. That's the whole label. Nothing to look up, nothing hiding behind "natural flavors."
The beef comes from cattle raised in the EU, where growth hormones are banned, and it's made from meaty bones and connective tissue rather than muscle trim alone. The creatine is made in Germany. The pouch is compostable kraft paper instead of a plastic tub.
I'm proud of this one. If you try it, I want to hear what you think!

In 1990, the average 13-year-old could recall about 13 phone numbers. Today the average adult recalls fewer than four. Dr. Rob Carter, an integrative physiologist who has spent 25 years studying humans under pressure, ran the assessment himself.
His point isn't that phones are bad. It's that every convenience replaces a capability, and capabilities you stop using fade. He's documented the same pattern in navigation, manual dexterity, emotional regulation and social skill. His research on heat stress shows the reverse also holds: the body adapts upward when you challenge it, which means the losses are reversible.
I pushed back on parts of his argument, because "modern life is making us weak" is one of those claims that feels so obviously true nobody checks whether the science holds up. Some of it does. Some of it needs more nuance.
For me the convenience was GPS. I stopped using it and my sense of direction came back.
What's yours?

For years I read labels to find out whether food was allowed. Dropping that one question changed more than the food did.

Adding cattle to the homestead was never about nostalgia or having a 'farm feel.'
We brought in South Poll yearlings because they made practical sense for what we're trying to build — a system where the animals do the work.
Moving them every single day sounds like extra effort, but it's the opposite. It forces you to think in systems, not in routines.
The land responds fast, the animals are calmer, and you stop fighting nature and start using it.
We're still early, but what we've learned about rotational grazing in just a few months has changed how I think about the entire property.

People will spend $10,000 trying to optimize their health…
Then spend the entire day indoors.
Don’t forget the basics.

Primal Queen isn't what their ads say it is. I bought it, read their own study, pulled their own lab report and did the math on what you're actually paying for.

What's the actual downside of low testosterone?
I asked myself that this week after seeing 312 ng/dL on my labs at 44 years old.
I've run this experiment in both directions. Five years on TRT and hCG, peaked around 1,800 ng/dL. Then I tapered all the way off — and my resting heart rate, my HRV, and my food bill all told me something I wasn't expecting.
If you're on the fence about TRT, this episode is the conversation I wish someone had walked me through first.

Mimi spent years as a clinical dental hygienist before she stumbled across a mushroom compound that changed the direction of her career entirely.
She wasn't looking for a new business. She was just trying to understand why a patient cleared HPV after taking something called AHCC. One conversation sent her down a rabbit hole she never came out of.
Nearly a decade later, she and her husband run The Medicin, dedicated entirely to educating people about Immune Intel AHCC and getting it into the hands of anyone who needs it. She has worked with thousands of people navigating everything from HPV and autoimmune conditions to eczema and chronic inflammation.
What I respect about Mimi is that she leads with the science, not the sales pitch. Over 100 published studies, used in more than 1,000 cancer clinics worldwide, and she still takes the time to answer every DM herself.

A few weeks ago, we walked out to check on the herd and found a wet, wobbly bull calf standing next to our South Poll heifer.
Still slick. Already on his feet. Mom had handled the whole thing while we slept.
That was the good part of the story. But then...

By midday, he was gone.
Not “gone” gone. But we couldn’t find him. Our pasture has gotten away from us this spring (more on that in a minute), and the grass is tall enough that a newborn calf can vanish completely.
It also turns out he fits cleanly under the hot wire, so “the paddock” became more of a suggestion than a boundary.

Most people think of lion's mane or reishi when they hear "mushroom supplement." AHCC is something else entirely.
It's a patented mycelial compound derived from shiitake mushrooms that goes through a specific fermentation process, making it more bioavailable and more potent than anything you'll find on Amazon. It has over 100 published studies behind it and is used in more than 1,000 cancer clinics worldwide.
What makes it different is how it works. It's not an immune booster. It's an immune modulator, meaning it gives your immune system better information rather than just more activity. That distinction matters whether you're dealing with an autoimmune condition or trying to avoid getting sick.
My guest Mimi Lindquist has been studying and educating on AHCC for nearly a decade. She hasn't been sick in three years.
If you care about immune health, this one is worth understanding.

Today I got put to the test and there's a clear winner in my book.
But honestly, all of these habits matter.
Cold plunge, sauna, red light, grounding, sleep, movement, sunlight, they work together, not against each other.
Which one would you have picked?

Two years ago in Norway, I asked a Sami reindeer herder if they eat nose to tail.
"We use every single piece of the animal," he said.
So I asked about the organs. He told me they feed those to the dogs.
I assumed it was because organs were considered waste. He corrected me immediately.
His dogs work for days straight across rough terrain — no guaranteed food, no guaranteed water. They don't get to go inside and rest. So they get the most nutritious parts of the animal, because the operation depends on them staying functional.
The organs aren't the scraps. They're the fuel for the most essential worker on the farm.
I liked that answer a lot.
