Teamless

For men, joining the military is just finishing school. Military official, speaking of man's warring nature

GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email that makes you consider heresy, if even for a brief moment. In under 2 min. Let's go.

1. 🥜 Jip peanut butter. In another totally unsurprising misstep in Big Food, Jif peanut butter issues a product recall due to salmonella contamination. Trash in, trash out. I know times are tough right now, but make sure your peanut butter contains no hydrogenated fats/oils; ideally, the only ingredients are peanuts and sea salt. The Western medicine-food industrial complex is a loud and hilarious racket. Earmuffs are recommended.

2. 🏃 Every brand = wellness brand. It should come as no surprise that it seems, today, every brand is a 'wellness' brand. Optimize your sleep, improve your sex life, meditate for four hours every morning, fix your mental health, never be sad again! Trump broke people's minds from 2016-2020, then C19 happened, and now the global economy is in free fall. It's less that these contestations are untrue, and more that by and large every brand is now promising to sell you salvation in a way I have not before seen (born in 1992). The twisted consensus that the world is fucked and people (usually your 'opponents') are shit is The Widespread Lie of the 21st century. At most, 10% of your self-wellness will stem from outside inputs (food, sleep, sex), and the rest from your believing that no brand/ticket/club/NFT will save you. The only thing that will save you is, as my old yoga teacher used to say, "the good quiet boring everyday Work."

3. 💦 Autophagy whiz! Light v Dark. Testosterone v Estrogen. Cells too have two modes: Building v Detoxing. Autophagy refers to a “self-eating” process in which your body digests damaged cells - consider it a way to clean out the debris of your cells that results from general use. Cyclical ketosis (eating primarily fat, some protein, and very few/no carbs) and intermittent fasting (not eating calories for 12+ hours, 16+ is most effective) both activate autophagy. Other hacks: citrus bergamot tea, green tea, turmeric, and 30 min of high intensity interval training (i.e. breathing hard and perhaps temporarily hating yourself). This - not a $6,000 nude mental health retreat - is what self-care actually looks like.

4. 👑 Teamless. This tweet below. People are so drunk on ideology these days that they feel they must choose a team: meat-only (hunter) OR vegan (gatherer). Otherwise, they'll be alone. The "valley" between these oppressive peaks is where the truth lies, albeit populated with fewer followers and thus fewer 'opinions', but the river of Truth runs clean and crisp and cold.

How do you like them Apples? If you ever need anything, hit reply. Love hearing from readers.

Your friend,
