And I really had to get super honest with myself about who I thought I was, and then realize that change is actually possible, that I actually do have agency, that like my fate wasn't just written in the genetic stars.

You know, my whole story was like, I just have the thrifty gene, right? You know, great in a famine, but like really bad for Instagram, you know? And I had to relearn a new story about myself. And that was really key. And then that propelled me into, you know, adopting headfirst, jumping headfirst into these protocols like fasting and cold water therapy and some of the other ones I began to stack.
