Really smart people are sharing their protocols, processes, and perspectives – for free – with the public more and more. An “Information Renaissance” has begun, and listening to what they are saying, particularly when it goes against the common media narratives, is the very definition of an edge – provided you do the appropriate homework.

In The Know from Cathie Wood and the ARK Invest Teams

In this series she shares how they are thinking about the economy, dollar strength, commodities, growth vs. value vs. deep value companies, and about automotive markets – not just EVs, but some of the real challenges legacy auto manufacturers face. She’s been talking about this quite a bit the last year, and the data is proving her thesis out thus far.

Cathie has assembled a team of rockstars at ARK who have the sole focus on identifying transformative opportunities to invest in – with a five year time horizon. These names can be volatile in the short term, but the growth trajectories are strong and can take time for the market to recognize.

Consistency is THE most important thing – take one step each day, no matter how small, to build the habit. Even just thinking counts, on occasion, but repeated action is the activator.

Change self-image thinking to: I’m a fit person and this is what I do. “I killed my clone” – old behaviors cannot be dragged into the new image.

Time-Restricted Feeding/Intermittent Fasting: Try not to eat anything after 7pm or before 10am, preferably 12 noon. Don’t feel guilty if can’t do it today, particularly as metabolism kicks in. The hungry feeling seems like a decent indicator for when the beneficial physiological effects really start to ramp up.

Eating primarily proteins and veggies, generally keeping carbs low (will increase carbs with training), as little sugar as possible. Low or no carbs during day to maintain energy and alertness. Add after exercise for recovery and later in day/evening for better sleep.

Take 1.5g Acetyl L-Carnitine on an empty stomach first thing in the morning for lipid (fat) oxidation and mobilization. (Yerba mate good for this too via GLP1)

View sunrise, outdoor light, or bright lights upon waking to set circadian rhythm

Go for walk after waking; 15m minimum, 30m+ best, with coffee/yerba mate tea before or during walk

Meditate for 10-30m – Headspace, Calm

Ingest Athletic Greens/Green Superfoods on empty stomach

AFTERNOON

After three decades+ of (intermittent) weight training and bicycling, I’m switching my training to emphasize GymnasticBodies.com (no affiliation) style exercises for greater functional fitness and physiological health.

Training:

Strength train and/or yoga 3x/week
Zone 2 cardio 3x/week
- Best when zone 2 maintained for longer periods, ups mitochondrial function, optimal 120-180 minutes/week, targeting 3x45min seshes
Alternate focus each week
