Why would I spend $8 on a loaf of bread?

It’s not just about the bread.

It’s about how I want to feel inside my body as I get older. Comfortable, energized, connected, and free from medications.

I don’t buy the cheaper food to “save money,” because that’s the greatest facade of all time. What you “save” at the grocery store, you’ll pay, and then some, to hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and insurance providers down the line with interest.

I’d rather pay the farmers than the hospitals and insurance companies.

When I choose the $8 loaf of pure sprouted grain bread, or the organic blueberries, or the unprocessed ingredients with names I can pronounce, I’m not just buying food, I’m making a statement:

“I want to feel good. I want to move freely. I want to reclaim my true self. I want to give industry the correct incentives”

Because every prescription added as we age doesn’t bring us back to ourselves, it pulls us further away. More pills, more numbness. Less connection to the body we live in.

If you believe in proper incentives, let me ask:
Who are you incentivizing?
The farmers growing real food and nourishing life? Or the corporations profiting off your slow decay and nourishing misery?

I’ve recently entered a new phase in my journey, diving deep into blood sugar, glucose regulation, and insulin receptor sensitivity, the building blocks of metabolic flexibility. When your body is flexible, you’re free. Free to enjoy food without crashing. Free to move without stiffness. Free to age with power instead of fragility.

Here’s a number to sit with:
88% of U.S. adults have blood sugar issues.
That leaves only 12% with optimal glucose health.
Let that sink in because that is absolutely insane and by design.

So, I’ll be sharing what I’m learning, what I’m doing, and what’s actually working. Tools, education, hacks, and frameworks that you can tailor to your life, your body, your needs.

Visit my website, I’ll share them in the first comment. It’s my living archive from nearly 20 years of health exploration—and now this new phase.

I believe we’re built to do meaningful things together.
So let’s do this together.

Not alone.
Together.

And together, we can do anything worth doing. That’s one of our powers as humans. We innately have this ability to move mountains based on the quality of relationships with other humans. Let’s leverage that and become better connected to ourselves, to each other, and to the planet we live on.
