One reminds me to show up with competence.

Your genes may decide whether a low-carb diet sends cholesterol soaring A low-carb diet may raise LDL cholesterol much more sharply in people who are genetically predisposed to high cholesterol, particularly when they consume lots of saturated fat.

Rest is not what you do after the structure is finished. It is part of the structure itself 🌿

I keep coming back to that truth when I look at the systems we build around our lives. A strong frame does not survive on force alone — it needs support, spacing, rhythm, and repair.

That is why I treat rest like a structural element, not a reward. Without it, attention frays, decisions get heavier, and even the best intentions start to wobble.

My book reminds us of that principle: self-care is not a soft extra. It is maintenance for the life you are trying to carry.
