⏱️ Mano Minute (10/24): Food Quality > Quantity 🥦 What’s more important? Let’s break it down. Quality = eating whole, real, single-ingredient foods. Both matter. But here’s what I’ve found.

TL;DR: Focus on eating real, quality food. When you do, how much you eat starts to balance out naturally. |

The more decisions you have to make each day about new behaviors, the faster your willpower runs out....
Mano Minute (3/18): What happens while you sleep 🧠 For a long time, I thought sleep was just one thing. You close your eyes, you rest, you wake up. Turns out, there is a lot more going on. Your brain cycles through distinct stages throughout the night. The two main categories are NREM and REM. NREM stands for Non Rapid Eye Movement sleep. This is where your body does its physical repair work. Tissue rebuilding, immune system strengthening, and growth hormone release all happen here. NREM...
