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. → Learn more on the latest Primal Shift Podcast — available on all platforms: primalshiftpodcast.com

First day with cattle on our homestead. We've been building toward this for years... The homestead keeps growing! 😅

80–93% of Americans test positive for glyphosate in urine samples. A UC San Diego study documented a 1,200% increase in urinary glyphosate levels over 23 years. It's in beer, wine, honey, and infant formula. Already inside most people's bodies, whether they know it or not.

From city water to well water, @mkummer82 shares his journey to achieving optimal hydration even on the homestead! 🚜✨ He breaks down the installation, why he chose the Series 6 whole house water filtration system, and the difference he’s noticed. See the full review: youtube.com/watch?v=JpLo16…

I spent almost a year supplementing with Mimio, a fasting mimetic designed to deliver the same molecules your body produces during a 36-hour fast. Then I ran biological age tests before, during, and after to see if anything actually changed. The results were not what I expected. My pace of aging slowed down measurably over that period, and my biological age markers shifted in the right direction, without changing my diet or lifestyle in any meaningful way. What made this conversation with Dr. Chris Rhodes particularly interesting was not just the supplement. It was understanding why fasting works at the molecular level, how long you actually need to fast to get real autophagy benefits, and what most people doing 16:8 are missing entirely. The science here is more nuanced than most longevity content lets on.

@MrCozyAZ Thanks for reading!

@mkummer82 Thank you for this information.

I eat 4-5 eggs and half an avocado almost every morning. It takes five minutes, costs a couple bucks, and covers more nutritional ground than most people manage in an entire day of processed food. Here's why this pairing is so effective — and why the cholesterol fears were dead wrong:

One more thing: source matters. Penn State researchers found pastured eggs had 2.5x the omega-3s, 2x the vitamin E, and 38% more vitamin A than conventional. The hen's diet becomes your diet. Buy pasture-raised, find a local farm, or raise your own flock like we do. Full breakdown — the studies, the sourcing, and how I prepare them — here: michaelkummer.com/benefits-of-eg…

The PURE study tracked 177,000 people across 50 countries and found no association between egg intake and cardiovascular disease. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines removed the cholesterol cap in 2015. The science has moved on — most dietary advice hasn't caught up yet.
