. @blader this wasn’t a part of the spending plan in the deck you showed me when I invested. Come on! At least ship me a bottle so I can try it with my tacos.
so we raised a new round, but haven't told anyone yet our investors are like, hey put our money to use how come burn isn't going up i gotchu fam introducing burn rate by runway an award winning, blind taste-tested (by me!) hot sauce, wrapped in a genuine $100 bill for $13.99

🕵️ Threw out my back during a warm-up squat. Very puzzling. My AI health detective analyzed 6 months of my data in 5 minutes. The culprit? Low ferritin levels + fragmented sleep that I didn't connect. Full breakdown 👇 https://t.co/nv5cw7mL6N

I subscribed to FSD for a recent road trip. Made me think - it’ll be cool to have FSD available on a pay per use (per mile) basis with a cap of $150 per month. The customer gets to try, increase usage over time, build a new habit. And Tesla gets more usage and more customers over

3/ My approach: Get a DEXA scan every year. Track trends over time. Adjust training, diet, and lifestyle based on real data—not just a number on a scale. Deep dive here: https://t.co/rEbKG1Pkav

2/ The best tool for measuring body composition? DEXA scans. Unlike BMI or body fat scales, DEXA provides precise data on: Body fat % – how much fat you carry Lean mass – muscle & organ mass Visceral fat – dangerous fat around organs Bone density – a long-term health marker

1/ As I’ve hit my 40s, I’ve taken on being the healthiest I’ve ever been. The key? Focusing on body composition, not just weight. The scale doesn’t tell you what you’re gaining or losing—fat, muscle, or bone. And that difference matters. 🧵

My 3yo's unintentional jokes have me in splits. Veda to Akriti: "Can we call Dad?" Bani: "Why?" Veda: "Dad is really fun." Bani: "What?? Dad is not a play structure!" Love kids. So much fun, and such unfiltered conversations.

This is happening for me today. Maybe it's time for a 20 mins nap or NSDR session so I'm not a grumpy person for the rest of the day that makes bad decisions.
When you get a bad night of sleep, research shows you’re more likely to seek out more total calories and foods with higher energy density (i.e., eat more and make poor food choices). This makes intuitive sense—you’re tired, you’re in a low-energy state, and your body wants more

11/ The most interesting thing I learned: Take Omega-3 supplements. Studies have shown that 3g of Omega-3s daily can increase RMR by almost 15%.

10/ The most effective long-term strategies: - Build lean muscle (RMR) - Increase protein intake (TEF) - Move more throughout the day (NEAT) - Strength train regularly (muscle preservation + EAT boost) - Prioritize quality sleep (prevents metabolic downregulation)

9/ What about quick fixes? - Caffeine: ~3-11% boost in RMR for a few hours - Green tea: ~4-5% boost - Cold exposure: Slightly increases calorie burn - Spicy foods: ~5 extra calories burned per meal (not much, but enjoyable)

8/ EAT (0-30% of TDEE) - Calories burned through structured exercise. - Aerobic exercise burns more calories DURING the workout. - Strength training preserves lean mass, which prevents metabolic slowdown. - HIIT has an "afterburn" effect (EPOC), but it’s smaller than most people

7/ NEAT (5-30% of TDEE) - This is your secret weapon. - It’s all the movement outside of structured workouts: fidgeting, walking, standing. - People with "fast metabolisms" often subconsciously move more. - Increasing NEAT (eg: adding 3 short walks a day) can significantly

6/ TEF (~10% of TDEE) - Energy used to digest food - Protein has the highest TEF (15-30% of its calories burned in digestion) - Eating more protein slightly raises metabolism

5/ RMR (40-80% of TDEE) - Biggest contributor to energy burn - Largely dictated by lean muscle mass - Can be increased by resistance training, sleep, and certain dietary choices (like omega-3s)

4/ When people say they have a "fast" metabolism, what they really mean is they burn more calories per day. This is the TOTAL DAILY ENERGY EXPENDITURE (TDEE), which has 4 components: Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Thermic Effect of Food (TEF) Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis

3/ First, what IS metabolism? Metabolism is the sum of all the chemical processes in your body—from digesting food to fueling your muscles. It’s not a speed, it’s a total amount.

2/ Your metabolic rate isn’t really fast or slow, but there ARE ways to enhance it. Here’s what actually works.
