Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m sending this out late at night on Thanksgiving, technically Black Friday, because it was quite a busy day for my family.
I hope you had the opportunity to spend time with your loved ones and eat some delicious food. If you’re anything like me, you ate way too much and you don’t even want to think about food right now.
During big holidays like this I always overeat. I’m not someone who snacks or attends many events during the holidays, so that basically means 2-3 large meals during the holidays and more sweets than normal.
This isn’t a diet killer, but many people think it is. And some people just don’t like feeling full and bloated.
For this reason, I always fast after a meal like today. 24–36 hours is more than enough. There are a few benefits:
Reduce overall calorie intake - makes up for eating 5000 calories during Thanksgiving
Clear toxins - I have no idea what was in some of these foods. Most of them are cooked in seed oils.
Eliminate trigger foods - some foods simply don’t agree with you. Maybe its something in the cranberry sauce, or the turkey, or the gravy. These aren’t foods you often eat, and they may cause GI upset, bloating, abdominal pain, whatever.
When you fast for 24–36 hours it gives your body a chance to reset and get back on track. Just drink water and black coffee or tea. If you need electrolytes that’s fine too.
Let me know if you have any questions in the comments.
Black Friday
It’s officially Black Friday. Cyber Monday isn’t far off.
I’ve always been skeptical about Black Friday, but I have a different perspective over the last few years.
As you may know, I started Renegade Health Magazine a little while back. We launched our first supplement, Vital Heart Health, about a year ago. Now we have launched a microplastic-cleansing soap in collaboration with Ancient Health & Healings yesterday.
Big companies can manufacture sales. They slowly raise the price over the course of the year, only to have a “sale” during Black Friday.
Small business and new businesses don’t have that luxury. Margins can be tight, marketing budgets are small or nonexistent, and it’s hard to get a foot in the door of an established market.
When many of these small companies we list in the Renegade Health Marketplace host a sale, they are real sales. They mean a lot to these companies and these people. I highly encourage you to support them, rather than buying all your gifts at Walmart.
Fill Your Brain
You’ve got your belly full, now it’s time to fill your brain.
I’m a big fan of growing my “talent stack.” A "talent stack" refers to the combination of various skills, abilities, and competencies that an individual possesses, which together create a unique value proposition or competitive advantage.
There aren’t many physicians with a military background, business experience, and a deep understanding of economics. These combined skills may not seem like they are useful, but you’d be surprised.
I learned a lot about economics from one of my favorite people, Tom Woods. Now he’s having a Black Friday sale you should take advantage of.
I cannot express enough how much I have learned from Tom over the years. I first discovered his work during the 2007 financial crash. His book, Meltdown, was the book that described why and how it crashed. He has a knack for describing complex ideas (like economics) in a simple way.
He is an Ivy-League trained historian who has spent the last 20 years wishing they never met him. They hate his books so much, the New York Times often refuses to even review his books - because they are effective.
His newest book, Diary of a Psychosis, is a phenomenal breakdown of the covid insanity we all lived through. Tom was so good on this topic that Jay Bhattacharya, Trumps NIH Director nominee, wrote the foreword.
Well, Tom Wood’s Liberty Classroom is where that all started. And today only it’s over $300 off.
This is a phenomenal list of courses and resources focusing on:
American History
Economics
Presidents
And more
There are over a dozen courses and a dozen highly qualified professors included. If you are at all interested, I encourage you check out the website and read for yourself.
Oh, and for those of you who homeschool your kids, or have children in school, this deal includes the 435 video lessons Tom created for the Ron Paul Homeschool Curriculum. This normally costs $250.
This sale only lasts until the end of the day on Friday 11/29. Do not miss out or the price goes up $300!
Happy belated Thanksgiving. I couldn’t be more grateful for you, dear reader. Without you, I would just be screaming into the void like a crazy person. Thank you for your support over the last few years.
Are there other supplements ok to take during the 24-36 hour fast? thank you
