Flashback Friday! I miss Raelynne’s baby face 😭 When we lived down in Kaohsiung we visited Pier 2 ALL THE TIME! It was one of our favorite places to take little Rae. We were originally planning a trip down to southern Taiwan this month, but with the recent spike it probably won’t happen till the fall. Have any of our other friends in Taiwan had to change their plans this summer? 我們住在高雄時候最愛帶芮芮去的地方就是駁二！這個夏天本來打算去南台灣玩、後來都留在台北...你們呢？夏天的計畫有沒有改變？ . . . . . . . . . . #高雄 #高雄景點 #駁二 #駁二藝術特區 #打卡 #打卡景點 #回憶 #想念 #老家 #小時候 #旅遊 #旅遊景點 #外國人 #外國人風 #小可愛 #旅行 #旅行日記

Habit #2 . First meal of the day is to have protein and/or fat. The best breakfasts for both physical and mental performance is having meat and/or nuts. Meat without carbs, facilitates more dopamine production (which amps up the nervous system) and nuts facilitates acetyl-choline production (which supports cognitive function and learning). Not only does this help me to have a super productive day without relying on a single sip of coffee, but people who follows this habit will tend to make better food decision choices throughout their day too . Now I’m going to share some exceptions to this as although it’s a powerful meal to kickstart the day BUT it’s NOT for everybody. Few conditions influence our appetite especially in the morning or even able to tolerate having meat 1st thing. One of the many reasons can be stress. Our HCL levels in our stomach could be suppressed due to stress which makes it difficult for us to breakdown that meat . Another exception is, if your kidney is not optimal, you may not be someone who can tolerate high meat consumption until you address and fix your kidney first. I review my client lab results and will determine the state of their kidneys to know if they have any kidney dysfunction. Btw, I’ve notice people who drink whey protein regularly too tend to have high uric acid levels and they should be cautious about this because high uric acid levels can form kidney stones or even cause other issues! On any signs of kidney dysfunction, I’ll treat them using the right protocols immediately so that they can return to their optimal state again and start to adopt the habits of peak performers to achieve the results they want . Remember, always look at the root cause when addressing or fixing a problem. That’s what Nutrition Medicine does. We treat the root cause and not the symptoms . Finally, avoid any processed or refined carbs like cereals, biscuits, oats, milo, bread, pastries, rice, noodles etc to start your day with. There’s absolutely no value in those food others than they spike up your insulin levels. Watch my IGTV videos on insulin to understand when you may want to spike it up and under what conditions #biohacking #habits

身边偶尔会出现一种人，喜欢把自以为是的想法强诸在对方身上。 说好听一点叫做关心，说难听一点就叫多管闲事。 猫遇到危机还能奔跑上树，但刺猬一旦抛弃了背后的刺，遇到危机就不再有自保的能力。 每个人都是独特的个体，也有自己的长处和短处。 所谓的建议，不要照单全收，照着自己觉得舒适的脚步去让自己进步就好。 ==================== There are always some people around you who like to force their own thought onto other people for the so called "for your sake". However, it is not the case most of the time because they have no idea about who you are and what you do. Cat can run fast and climb onto something, but once a hedgehog throws away its spike, it can hardly escape from dangerous situation. Everyone of us is unique with something we are good or bad at. Forget about those "hard advise", and improve yourself with the pace that you are most comfortable with.
