The true, existential risk of this sort of thinking is you can hyper-optimize every waking minute and then suddenly you wake up at 40 and realize you haven’t truly lived a single day of your entire life

Steven Bartlett says a few glasses of wine ruined the next 3 days of his life “It's one of those areas where you don't understand the hidden cost until you really give it up for a while. I stopped drinking at 30 years old. I'm now 33. When I was 31, I thought, I'll have a drink again because now I could really A/B test it. I had a year of not drinking, decided to have a drink again” “It ruined three days of my life. I had a couple of glasses of wine, didn't get drunk. It ruined three days of my life because of the domino effect it caused” “I got worse sleep that night, and then because I got worse sleep that night, I ate more poorly the next day because my dopamine system or whatever, the cortisol system was all messed up. I podcasted worse. I didn't go to the gym that day or the day after because I felt really bad. I then slept worse, and I could track all of this on my Whoop”






Chris Paul says you can become stressed just thinking about being stressed. He says the worst gut issues of his career weren't caused by food. They were caused by stress. What Paul does when he feels the stress loop starting: • Gets around his family • Takes a break from work and slows down • Resets his nervous system before it spirals • Stops trying to be everything for everybody He says trying to be everything for everybody is what runs you ragged. Most people are stuck in a loop of being stressed about being stressed, and their cortisol pays the price. The thing wrecking your gut is rarely on your plate. — Chris Paul on Dr. Mark Hyman's (@drmarkhyman) podcast PS: B2C health apps, SaaS, brand or info founders: If you want content just like this to turn 𝕏 into your #1 organic acquisition channel in the next 90 days...
