We also use a Notion database with various views for tracking customers, sales pipeline, rewards, and a lot more.

When we bring on a new customer, we quickly create (from a template) a personalized welcome page for them with an embedded copy of their service agreement and a few other things. Notion can generate a public link so we send this right away and it makes a nice impression.

Performance isn't great but it is so useful for us that I don't mind. I do hope they provide an offline version soon as that is my biggest wish right for it right now.

My HDL was up (67), triglycerides down (60). When my doctor got the results she called me and the conversation went like this:

Doc: I got your bloodwork results in today.

Me: And?

Doc: I have really good news.

Me: Great!

Doc: What are you doing?

I explained a little about the Feldman Protocol and she went quiet for a while, and finally said, well, keep doing what you’re doing I guess.

My weight remains stable as do my energy levels, so I can only assume that (1) I am getting exactly the right amount of calories from my diet, or (2) calories are an irrelevant metric.

I am convinced that dietary fat and cholesterol are not the problem as we have been told for decades.

My blood work is excellent. In fact, my doctor is on board with what I am doing but she also doesn’t quite know what to make of it. I think she still has some cognitive dissonance with someone eating the way I do and seeing the results that, per her training, should not be happening.

I also used to take 50mg of Losartan for blood pressure but I no longer need it.

With carb intake reduced the body will naturally switch to burning fat because it is the only fuel source available.

I didn’t have much weight to lose but I went from 175 to 160 (high school weight) and under 15% body fat. My energy level is consistently very good.

Diet is a subjective thing, of course, but at a minimum getting rid of sugars and processed food might be a good starting point for anyone.

Anecdote: my brother-in-law reversed his T2 diabetes and lost quite a bit of weight doing keto. His doctor had advised meds to “manage” the disease.

This is the answer. I do IT consulting and support for Apple-based small businesses, and I constantly have to remind my clients to not just accept every update prompt they see. I advise waiting for .1 or .2 releases. There is never a reason to update right away, in my experience.

This is anecdote, but a growing number of people are discovering the same thing. Beef is great food. It will not go away.

Consider making as many good experiences as you can, rather than accumulating more things.

I'm getting a "You don't have permission to access /~stacy/nullboard/ on this server" error. Permissions on the folder look ok, any ideas?

Thanks...

*Edit: Never mind, my error

This is purely anecdotal (although not uncommon) but I went keto/low carb in 2013 and immediately felt great. In recent months I have made fatty meat and eggs the majority of my diet - very few veggies, no fruit - and I have never felt so good and energetic.

Protein and fat are amazing.

The mainstream public is barely aware that these networks exist.

We moved to one of the top ISDs in Texas years ago, ended up pulling our kids out and home-schooling. It was a hyper competitive, near-toxic environment. No thanks.

I have found the recipe for well-being to be pretty simple: good health, work I enjoy, good relationships, community, time to be quiet. Don't need much else, imo.

That’s because it doesn’t exist, of course. We have been tragically misled for about 30 years.

This is N=2 but my wife and I switched to a low-carb/high-fat diet last summer and we are both at our ideal weight, higher energy than we have had in many years, and feeling absolutely fantastic. I think this is where the current metabolic science is taking us.

We both have also noticed that we just feel more mental clarity, more energy and no cravings for junk food. It is amazing. I hope this message gets through in the U.S. eventually.

There is quite a lot of anecdotal evidence to support this, and I can just add that my wife and I started on it nine weeks ago and we have never felt better. I even dropped a few pounds although I didn't really need to. We also supplement with probiotics to ensure that we maintain good levels of healthy bacteria in the gut, which is where much of our immune system functions.
