The PM and other major party politicians are getting their figures from the gas industry rather than the ATO and Treasury 🤯 Whose side are they on? When you try and interrogate these figures from the gas lobby you get “PAGE NOT FOUND”. You cannot make this stuff up! Head to ourgas.com.au to get involved. The only way we win this is if the major parties know they will continue to lose votes at the next election if they don't put Australians first.

🚨In 1990s, Stanford researcher Dr. Robert Sapolsky discovered something that should have broken the internet by now. He was studying dopamine pathways in primates and found that the brain doesn't just adapt to repeated stimulation. It actively fights back. When you flood dopamine receptors consistently, the brain deploys what neuroscientists call "opponent processes." For every artificial high you create, your nervous system generates an equal and opposite neurochemical low. Not eventually. Immediately. The system is designed to maintain balance, so it starts producing compounds that directly counteract dopamine while you're still experiencing the dopamine hit. This means every notification, every scroll, every digital reward doesn't just give you a high followed by a return to baseline. It gives you a high followed by a crash below baseline. You end up in neurochemical debt. Tech companies never publicized this research. They probably never read it. They were too busy discovering that variable ratio reinforcement schedules could keep users engaged for hours. They built addictive systems by accident, then refined them into addiction machines once they realized what they'd stumbled onto. Your phone delivers an average of 80 dopamine hits per day. Your ancestors got maybe 5. Each hit triggers opponent processes that create a corresponding low. By the end of a typical day of normal phone usage, your baseline dopamine is running in negative territory. You feel flat, restless, vaguely unsatisfied, and hungry for stimulation because your brain chemistry is literally below zero. You think you're bored. You're chemically depressed by artificial highs. The opponent process theory explains why nothing feels interesting anymore. Your brain isn't broken. It's precisely calibrated to maintain neurochemical balance, and you keep throwing that balance off with artificial intensity. Every Instagram hit requires an equal Instagram crash. Every TikTok high gets paid for with a TikTok low. Every notification rush gets balanced with notification emptiness. Your reward system is running a neurochemical deficit that grows larger every day. Sapolsky's research revealed something even more disturbing: opponent processes don't just create temporary lows. They become permanent changes to your baseline dopamine production. Chronic overstimulation doesn't just make you tolerant to digital rewards. It makes you insensitive to natural rewards. The sunset that would have captivated your great-grandfather becomes invisible to you not because sunsets got worse, but because your dopamine system needs intensity levels that sunsets can't provide. A good conversation becomes boring not because conversations got less interesting, but because your brain requires the rapid-fire stimulation of social media to register engagement. You've accidentally trained your reward system to ignore everything that isn't artificially amplified. This connects to research from Dr. Anna Lembke at Stanford, who found that people who undergo complete digital fasting for just 30 days show measurable increases in dopamine receptor density. Their brains literally regrow sensitivity to natural rewards. Food tastes better. Music sounds more complex. Social interactions become genuinely engaging again. But there's a catch that nobody talks about: the first two weeks of dopamine detox feel like clinical depression. Your brain has been chemically dependent on artificial stimulation for years. Removing that stimulation creates actual withdrawal symptoms. Restlessness, anxiety, inability to focus, emotional flatness, and desperate cravings for digital input. Most people interpret these symptoms as evidence that they need their phones. Actually, they're evidence that they've been neurochemically dependent on their phones without realizing it. The withdrawal period isn't a bug. It's proof the reset is working. What happens after week three is remarkable. Colors become more vivid. Conversations become genuinely absorbing. Simple pleasures like hot coffee or cool air become satisfying in ways you forgot were possible. Your brain rediscovers that reality contains enough complexity and beauty to hold your attention without artificial amplification. You don't need more interesting content. You need more sensitive reward systems. The solution isn't better apps or more engaging entertainment. The solution is restoring your brain's factory settings for what constitutes a worthwhile experience. Sapolsky's opponent process research suggests this can happen faster than anyone expected. Every day you don't artificially spike your dopamine, your baseline moves a little higher. Every natural reward you pay attention to rebuilds receptor density. Every moment of boredom you endure without reaching for stimulation strengthens your capacity for sustained focus. Ancient humans lived in a world that provided exactly the right amount of stimulation to keep their reward systems healthy. Enough challenge to stay engaged, enough calm to stay balanced, enough novelty to stay curious, enough routine to stay stable. We built a world that provides 10 times too much stimulation and wonder why nothing feels rewarding anymore. Your brain is not the problem. Your environment is the problem. Change the environment, and the brain heals itself automatically.

Could interseeding cover crops into soybeans actually increase moisture retention? Alex Frasier seems to think so, in fact he has seen it happen on his own farm. Each different cover crop species comes with a diverse microbiome that colonizes the soil. All of that biology respirates moisture and carbon, creating a system that is much more efficient at utilizing, capturing and storing moisture. Then above the ground, the cover crops shade the soil from the harsh rays of the sun, preventing evaporation and protecting microbial life who thrive in cool, moist soils. You can learn more about Alex's method of soybean interseeding in our most recent podcast: zurl.co/N89AW #CoverCrops #SoilHealth #RegenerativeAgriculture #Interseeding #CoverCropping

THE CONTRASTING EFFECTS OF BLUE AND RED/NIR LIGHT ON THE MITOCHONDRIA. - Recent research published this year in Nature: Scientific Reports demonstrates the effects that light in the built environment has on human health. Our modern build environment is dominated by short-wavelength light from LEDs and fluorescent lighting. This can have deleterious effects on the mitochondria. Adding to this effect is the lack of long-wavelength light from sources like the sun and incandescent lighting bulbs. These long light wavelengths have a beneficial effect on mitochondria function and overall human health. The lack of them in our modern built environment, seems to be impacting public health in a delirious fashion. Two recent papers to read: 1. nature.com/articles/s4159… 2. nature.com/articles/s4159…

R.I.P. Netherlands Make no mistake, this is not government stupidity, this is what the Dutch majority wants, it's what the majority voted for (D66, CDA, VVD, GLPvdA). The majority wants immigrants in and investors/entrepreneurs out. More to come (e.g. exit tax)!

"But that darn Elon just went and tried it and it worked, and they cancelled our WHOLE program!" Here's an interesting story about how Elon Musk ambitiously skipped to the last step when trying to land on a barge with a rocket, proving supersonic retro-propulsion worked. @DrPhiltill knew someone working on a supersonic reentry program at NASA at the time who was shocked Elon was able to skip ahead, thus canceling their need for the program. Failing fast and forward not only saves so much money, but is more efficient and skips over steps you might not need. This lesson could even apply in your own life. This is my favorite part of my recent interview with Dr. Metzger.

I was surprised when I learned about this important step is for detoxification, not binders, chelation, sauna or an expensive supplement. It was oxygen. If oxygen isn’t reaching the tiniest capillaries in your body, your detox efforts are not going t to optimal without proper oxygenation, your body simply can’t get rid of toxins effectively, no matter what else you try. So, what’s the first step? Many people have dysfunctional breathing patterns because of modern life, bad posture lots of sitting, screen time or just because they didn’t know This results in poor oxygen delivery to our tissues and sluggish detox. Luckily we can all do breathing practices There is another layer to this for extra efficiency which is heart – breath – brain coherence, which is a route into bliss/flow states. There are inexpensive tools that allow you to optimise this and collect data to monitor your progress to get the best results and be self-accountable Getting into flow at will at work, while learning or sport is something I use to improve my performance. But I learned by using biofeedback I met Niels Voigt who has 10 yrs experience teaching heart – breath – brain coherence to athletes and the public in France last year and we spent each sunrise doing coherence work. I incorporate this into my daily routine and now I am using the apps and heart rate monitor to get into flow in other situations, not just seated or sitting on a cushion. Niels and I are doing our 6th online workshop for Heart Breath Coherence Level one as this is the foundation before moving into brainwaves. If this is something you would like to learn it is $35 for 90min and we have 5 spaces left for the Jan 22nd online session.
