🦾 Pain and pleasure are 🟰
Melius Humano,
When change is the only constant in the universe, your life is designed to have ups and downs.
That's all it can be.
You can never have pure linear growth, 100% happiness, or nonstop pleasure.
These things don't exist.
And even more so, they are defined by their opposites (duality).
Without returning to your baseline, pleasure would become meaningless.
That's because it is defined by the lack of pleasure, and even more so by its opposite: pain.
How much better is pleasure than pain?
Miles.
How much worse is pain than pleasure?
See my point?
If you live long enough, you will experience this so often that you will eventually understand it. That's wisdom.
The valuable tool you can apply now is embracing life's ups and downs. Don't try to force or cling to any of it.
Let things flow. Do your best. Accept. Wake up tomorrow.
That is the absolute best way to approach a life defined by change.

Gut Health is everything
Is the epicenter of health.
They say your immune system is in your gut. Or, better yet, it is your gut.
We just launched two new gut-boosting products that you can use together to build a bulletproof gut.
Wild Gut Repair Formula. This is pontent stuff! Start with a fraction of a scoop until you have an idea of how your body responds. Then increase from there.
Available in lemon lime and mango flavors (naturally sweetened with stevia).
Wild Gut pairs perfectly with a new Wild-approved partner launch we just added to the shop: Innr Prebiotic + Probiotic 15 Billion CFU Daily Drink
This science-backed synbiotics + antioxidant blend is a delicious daily drink to help heal leaky gut, fight bloating, and strengthen your immune system.
Excellent resources on back and hip strength
Yes2Meat Newsletter: 🥩 A1 vs A2 Dairy
📉 Beyond Meat, Impossible Burger, and Oatly are some of the worst investments of the past decade, as consumers slowly woke up to the fact that they were eating chow made for lab rats. The next wave of food products to secure funding and take their stab at market dominance are lab-grown, fermented, cultured, and genetically modified attempts at meat and fat. Lab-grown food companies are fighting a tough battle as they are currently more expensive than animal products with no clear message to deliver to the consumer about health benefits. Either reach scale and get cheaper than meat or foment ethical hysteria around cow farts.
💵 Americans spend a lower percentage of their income today on food than at any point in history and less than any country on Earth. In 1900, families spent about 40% of their income on food, but by 1950 it was just under 30%. In 2013, the average American household spent about 10% of its budget on food.

Clyde is cool If you’re at a coffee shop and want to use the bathroom, lock your Mac with the app, leave the screen up, and then if anyone closes it to take it, the alarm goes off super loud.
