She wants a relationship... but likes being single, is dating to marry, AND still goes after unavailable men, is extremely picky, and still manages to pick the wrong one. Let's talk about this contradiction so many of us are living without even realizing it. She says she wants a committed relationship, but she also loves her freedom and independence. She's dating with serious intention to find her husband, but somehow keeps choosing men who aren't even emotionally available. She has an entire list of non-negotiable standards, but ignores every single red flag the moment she feels chemistry. She wants commitment from men who've clearly shown her they're emotionally unavailable. She wants consistency from men who've proven repeatedly they're unreliable. She wants a future with men who can't even manage their present circumstances. And here's the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to acknowledge: sometimes the problem isn't that the right man hasn't shown up yet. It's that she's not actually ready to recognize him when he does show up. Because the right one might not give her butterflies immediately. He might be stable and secure, which feels boring after years of chasing chaos and drama. He might be actually available, which feels too easy after spending so much time chasing unavailable men. He might be consistent and reliable, which doesn't trigger the familiar trauma bond she's been mistaking for passion and chemistry. Real growth is recognizing your patterns and choosing differently. It's understanding that intense chemistry isn't the same as genuine compatibility. It's choosing what's healthy even when healthy feels uncomfortable or unfamiliar. If you keep picking the wrong one repeatedly, stop blaming the men for a second. Start examining why you're attracted to what hurts you and simultaneously repelled by what could actually heal you.

Did you know that a single 20-minute session at ~176°F can produce a 2–5x increase in serum growth hormone. Certain protocols (sauna → cold plunge cycling) have shown increases up to 16x‼️ If you could only pick one modality for longevity, it should be sauna. The data is super impressive, read the article all about sauna in the link below.

Cheating isn't a mistake... it's a CHOICE. You don't accidentally betray someone you love. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

Your abusive parent loved pets and treated them better than their family. Why the family pet was treasured, and you were not:

If I were to summarize my approach to mycotoxins, this would be it: 1. Getting the foundations right, with a special focus on the immune & liver system This includes dietary micronutrient supremacy, a low inflammatory diet for your specific gut & digestive conditions and filling micronutrients that are missing (special focus on thiamine, riboflavin, folate, molybdenum, zinc, Vit ADEK) The immune system has to be supported. Low neutrophils, depleted WBCs are all common as mycotoxins are the most immunosuppressive toxins out there Methylation is key. Vit C, Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Vit A/D, Cocoa, thymosin or thymus bioregulators. If fancy, bone marrow & epitalon on top Liver is burdened and bile is sluggish. TUDCA, PDC & other choline derivatives, glycine, taurine and lots of bitters. NAC, Lipo GSH and B2 for glutathione. Vegetables, insulin sensitivity and Calcium D Glucarate for glucoronidation Special note to mast cells. All of the people I am working with with mycotoxins suffer from it. Apart from everything said, red light, CO2, calcium, BSO, Quercetin, stinging nettle tea, plasmalogens, omega-3s can all improve sensitivity 2. Drainage in all forms & functions This refers to lymphatic system, kidney, bowl movements, sweating and liver again Lymphatic system relies on movement, red light, hydration & fascia to move. Deploy daily movements, bounces, massages, grounding and red light to improve. Massages, osteopathy and craniosacral therapy aimed to improve glymphatics are also huge. Do not take this lightly. A daily fascia & lymph routine can seriously improve conditions Kidney are very dense in mitochondria and almost all kidney issues stem from mitochondrial issues downstream. There should be a focus on insulin & blood pressure, so electrolyte balance, inositol, berberine and zinc can all work here. MOTS-c, SS-31 are peptides which might improve the situation. Many plants can support it, like parsley, cranberry or hibiscus Bowl movements are key. Thiamine, Mg saturation, Kiwi, Vit C, Potassium, Cholinergic support and a diet that is just low inflammatory for your type have been the needle movers for me personally. Fermented stuff if tolerated Sweat, sweat, sweat. 3x per week or more if tolerated. The issue would be dehydration, so I would not start first day with it. Care for your kidneys, hydration & adrenals first Binding belongs to drainage. This is the most criticial piece in all of this. Dietary binders in the form of fibers like pectins, glucomannan can work here and should be used if tolerated. MCP as a supplemental fiber form is also all purpose. More specific binders like AC, Zeolithe or even pharma options if you tolerate or need it. Rotate between >2 binders per week 3. Colonization of the hollow cavities Huge issue for most, as mycotoxins immunocompromise the system so much that there will be some sort of overgrowth happening. Often its candida or MARCoNS in the nasal cavity Antimicrobial protocols for each respective hollow cavity (gut, mouth, nose) are appropriate here. Ensure your gut can handle it and only do it after some toxic load has been taken away 4. Improve mitochondria The last step that gathered my attention in the last time has been the damage done to existing mitochondria. Mycotoxins are direct mitochondrial toxins stopping ATP production, increasing RET-ROS and hence senescence. Cellular debris accumulates and cells become dysfunctional and permeate this to the environment around them. Compounds and lifestyle choices aimed at improving mitogenesis, autophagy, senolytics and redox co-factors really can improve baseline even further from here. There are many compounds for this, but here are some: MOTS-C, SS-31, Epitalon/Thymus bioregulators, Fisetin, A-KG, NA/NR, Quercetin, Urolithin-A, MitoQ, Spermidine and also improving metabolic flexibility, cycling in and out of ketogenic phases or fasting phases. Exercise and cold plunging if tolerated
