Learn to be bored again. Anon.
GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email that's like a chilled eucalyptus towel: fresh, a bit intoxicating, and lasts for 2 minutes. Let's go.
👐 Self-helped. When people think of Tony Robbins they think of a prehistoric giant of a man, with hands the size of shovels, who practices some sort of hokey witchcraft that leaves the disciples in tears, maybe even cured. Easy to sh*t on Tony because, well, it's easy to sh*t on anything... especially when you refuse to try it. It turns out, after coaching roughly 10 million folks IRL (100 million digitally) over his career, a Stanford study of Robbins’ “Date With Destiny” program found 100% of participants with clinical depression were symptom-free 30 days after completion of the five-and-a-half-day course." No drugs, no vomiting in a bug-infested forest for a week... just this dude. I sit on Twitter or TikTok for a couple minutes and see how depressed and powerless people (esp. kids) seem. In a world of small men, hacks, and gurus, one giant has stuck around. When he's gone, who's going to fill his shoes? It's not 46yo Gary Vee in a teenager hoodie and backwards ballcap.
🍦 Nice cream? Non-dairy alternatives to ice cream are now commonplace. Some people do it for the environment, or because cows are cute, or because dairy allergies are on the rise. Do what you please, it is your life friend. One thing that is patently false is that these ice creams - or any ice cream for that matter - are healthy. Lol. Aside from a doughnut sprinkled with kids cereal, ice cream (its particularly vicious pairing of white sugar and saturated fat) is the worst thing you can put in your mouth. Full stop. Again, I have no dog in the fight and would happily take a million $ endorsement from Big Dairy or from Big Vegan most days of the week. I am not perfect. But this veganwashing with regard to health belongs in the trash chute.
🍟 High off the food. In LA, godless new-age foodies are doing "caviar bumps" off the back of their hand. Only in LA, smh. But it brings up another point of actual consequence: people treat food like drugs. When a decadent society finds all the cocaine laced with lethal doses of fentanyl and all the weed strong enough to seat an elephant, dopamine seekers will lean on Taco Bell platters and Baja Blast IVs. No one is without their poison. I can think of worse poisons than food, but the only reason why New Yorkers aren't obscenely overweight (eating out at every meal) is because they live in a European city where walking is the antidote.
🕊️ Tweet of the Day. Say hi to the witches the wizards and the warlocks 4 me. Maybe they'll let you into their magical group chat.
