Let's do this.

"There's no secret to longevity. Longevity is the secret. If you just hang in there, I think, sooner or later somebody goes, 'hey ya know, I always liked that guy, even if you suck'". ~Kevin Bacon

"The purpose behind the sufferings you are going through is to push you into a new freedom from false definitions of who you are." ~Paul Zahl quote to Tullian Tchividjian

"If there's one simple piece of advice to stay healthy longer & max your lifespan it's this: eat less often" ~David Sinclair

File this away under the medical wisdom forgotten with the discovery of insulin. Here's Elliot Joslin in 1910 writing about the diabetic diet and the importance of fat. Give or take that "teaspoonful of brandy," he sounds a lot like @Virta and Dr. Sarah today.

What science says about maximizing life: 1. Eat less often. 2. Avoid sugar & high GI foods. Eat stressed plants. 3. Do hip-hinge exercises, stretch, pant a few times a week. 4. Block blue light. Sleep well. 5. Calm your mind, never lie, don't hate. 6. Have close friends & pets.✌️

Research from Yale shows mice fed a ketogenic diet infected with the influenza virus had a higher survival rate than mice on a high-carb normal diet.  news.yale.edu/2019/11/15/ket…

I was WRONG. After thoroughly reviewing these two papers - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… and ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… I am no longer convinced exercise - even heavy exercise - is immunosuppressive UNLESS in a very carb depleted state. So proceed with the indoor treadmill marathons. ;)

A highly functional schedule: 1) Sunlight & movement 2) Task completion 3) Thoughtful, reflective 4) Repeat 1-3 5) Sleep And of course nourish, hydrate, relate & avoid energy sinks i.e., don’t mix states of mind across above steps; practice functional compartmentalization.

This is a potent 3 step daily: 1 -3min cold shower or plunge immediately after waking up (AWA). 5-30min of viewing sunlight ASAPAWA (There is always *some* sun, folks, even if through cloud cover). Resistance train, or endurance work or sprints, 6 days/week. (Notice “or”).

Good nutrition can change the world. Nutrition geeks can change our worldview. Let's follow it through. #endurant

Objectivity is the ability to share about our past and not fixate on it.

Objectivity is knowing and sharing how the past brought us to the present and how it gives hope for the future.

Those of us walking this short path of life. It's the Endurant way.
