Episode 47: Beyond Macros: Embodiment, Integration, and Seasonal Nutrition
Description
We’re back in person, feet on the earth, and diving into what it actually takes to change, not just learn. We unpack the social media spiral, the energy “pendulum” of fear and attention, and why integration beats information every time. Then we go deep on food: seasons, latitude, genetics, gut terrain, and why “calories in, calories out” misses the human in front of you.
This one’s raw, practical, and focused on freedom, not another rigid system.
- We explore topics like:
How to step out of the social media dopamine loop without hiding from reality
The “pendulum” idea: why resisting or chasing both feed the same energy
Embodiment vs more knowledge, and why evidence often arrives after action
Instant gratification, patience, and the 100-day Qigong practice
Why nutrition is deeper than macros, and when a deficit still backfires
Seasons, light, latitude, and haplotypes, plus what that means for carbs and fats
Terrain first: stomach acid, bile, microbiome, vagus tone, and mitochondrial context
Freedom vs system: having strict seasons to heal, then earning flexibility
