The best way I can describe the BOOM experience is, for a brief moment in time, being slung out of the orbit of normal everyday waking consciousness, and being thrust into the outer layer of existence, floating, contemplating and feeling the actuality of the NOW, in all Her beauty, fragility and complexity. This act of leaving the rat race to pursue absurdity for a brief period of time is so rare.
“We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.” — Dr Gabor Mate. In August 2021 I visited the Earth Awareness Nature Temple in the heart of the Netherlands to attend a Magic Mushroom retreat.
Personal development programs are popular in today's 'fix me because I'm broken' culture. The promise for 10x growth sells. However, all self-improvement programs, mindfulness strategies and retreats forget one key element to healing: the animal.
"Moderation" is the great lie of the century. It was invented by senile men who are living in despair and have zero skin in the game of sustainable fat loss. When you eat the right foods –meat! – your body has a natural moderation-sparing valve that sends feedback to your energy-dense brain, letting it know you're good for the next 16-18 hours.

We’ve all been there — had a period of time where giving up our diet due to one or two bad days is a real possibility. I’ve outlined a simple plan that I use to get me feeling great after an overindulgence.
KETO TUESDAY is a weekly episode in which I talk about or cook up something ketogenic. The ketogenic diet has been getting major press lately, and I believe that keto is where the future of nutrition is heading. Welcome to Ep. #1 -- enjoy!
Mark Sisson outlines perfectly why he thinks that being fat-adapted may be the future of endurance and powerlifting athletes. Sami Inkinen, who is an ultra-marathon runner, also gives his perspective on keto-adaption.
I've outlined a couple of blogs which I read regularly to get more insights into the world of health, fitness and biohacking.

In this Brew, Josh writes about how fruit could be the kryptonite that is hindering your weight loss. Fruit is widely considered a "health" food, but Josh argues against conventional wisdom to shed light on today's health standards.
You've probably read the title and immediately had the classic WTF self-talk. In this post, I will decipher why being “fat adapted” can pose major advantages to your training, the Jozi Urban Adventure Race (JURA) and an embarrassing story which involved a homeless man, an old lady, Uber and needing the restroom half-way through my race.
Ah, the familiar three letter word that we’ve all heard so much about—Fat.
