I got tired of waiting for the perfect time to get healthy. Life doesn’t stop to let you eat modestly, move broadly, and calm the heck down. You don’t need info on what to do. You need momentum doing it. Here’s A Way To Practice Health Decisiveness open.substack.com/pub/drpbkim/p/…

If you've got a scar across your brain from being yelled at so hard that it's permanently dented your neurotransmitters, clarity comes hard, if at all. Link to full Subtack post in bio.

If you're a catastrophizer, acting with resolute clarity is almost unheard of.

You couldn't design a better health and fitness activity than BJJ: - Good crew = true fellowship - New moves = brain stimulus + coordination - Rolling = intense movement + fearproofing against confrontation Find a good gym that'll take care of you, and it'll take care of you.

I lost 6 pounds in the past two weeks, stress levels and nutrition unchanged, and during a week off from BJJ after a minor tweak. The only explanation seems to be a reduction in stress hormones, from taking an adaptogen blend twice daily.

Had a private with my BJJ coach today. I had specific questions about doing X when my partner does Y, and to keep practicing the high percentage moves? Kinda, he said. Rather than collecting him A/you Bs, think of advancing to a position of greater advantage. Mind blown 🧵

Private lessons/coaching ain’t cheap. But if you’ve been around, you know. It’s way cheaper than wandering in the wilderness, especially if wandering means collecting injuries. 1 bad injury = 6-12 months offline. My remaining time is too valuable to waste.

To keep your brain sharp, assist others, prevent premature death, avoid dependence, chase your grandkids, build with your hands, and defend against attack, you need to move and exercise. To live long enough to do that, you need to eat right. Simple.
