🐿️ CREATURE FEATURE 🐿️

The Mantis Shrimp

This could be the tiniest prizefighter on Earth. The mantis shrimp. Its raptorial “clubs” unleash one of the fastest strikes in nature! It’s so rapid it creates cavitation bubbles that collapse with a shockwave, adding a second hit. The shrimp’s punch can crack snail shells and even chip aquarium glass. A peacock mantis shrimp can punch at over 50mph. It accelerates faster than .22-caliber bullet! Watch the incredible slow-mo of it HERE.

Their vision is just as impressive. Mantis shrimp pack a staggering array of photoreceptors and can detect polarized light, scan colors, and use each eye for trinocular depth perception. In other words, they see patterns and contrasts invisible to humans!

WORD OF THE WEEK

Sempiternal: Something that is eternal or everlasting.

🌎 INTO THE…🌎

Into the Meridian System

Many generations before we mapped the brain or sequenced DNA, ancient healers charted invisible pathways of energy flowing through the body. Known as meridians in Traditional Chinese Medicine, these channels were said to carry life force, or Qi. This energy is believed to link organs, emotions, and physical health. If you’re ever had acupuncture, this is what they’re tapping int.

Modern research is uncovering parallels between this ancient model and our physiological “wiring”. This includes networks of fascia, connective tissue, and bioelectric signaling that coordinate the body’s healing responses.

What acupuncture points reveal is not mysticism, but likely microcurrents. Studies using electrical conductivity mapping show that meridian points often align with areas of lower electrical resistance. This suggests that energy flow might be more literal than previously believed. The fascia network, rich in nerves, may serve as the medium through which these signals travel.

The meridian system is a living communication web where every pulse, thought, and breath plays a role in maintaining harmony. Ancient maps of energy somehow figured out electrical realities of the human body without any modern day tools.

😩 Why You’re Still Exhausted [TOMORROW]

Ever wonder why you're still dragging at 2 PM despite sleeping 8 hours?

Your breathing might be sabotaging your energy.

Research shows that MOST people have hidden, dysfunctional breathing patterns that wire their brains into chronic stress mode and trigger constant fatigue.

But here's the game-changer...

My friend Ari Whitten discovered a 10-min morning breathing practice that reverses this damage and supercharges your cellular energy production.

Me interviewing Ari Whitten

[Register for TOMORROW’s webinar here] to learn how breathing correctly can dramatically boost your energy levels.

In the class, Ari reveals:

  • Why most breathing advice is dead wrong

  • The 4 keys to optimal breathing (and how to rewire your brain into doing it automatically)

  • Why supercharging oxygen delivery to your cells is the overlooked key to high energy

  • How finally breathing correctly can reset your stress response and even relieve mood disorders like anxiety and depression

[Save your spot now]...this is the energy breakthrough you've been searching for.

If you can’t make the time, register anyway, and he’ll send you the replay link afterwards.

🍎 NUTRITION 101 🍎

SPERMIDINE: Spermidine is a natural compound found in foods like natto, wheat germ, and aged cheese that supports cellular renewal through autophagy (the body’s built-in clean-up system). It’s gaining attention for its potential role in healthy aging, cognitive function, and metabolic health.

From Land to Loss: How Displacement Shaped Indigenous Health

What happens when a people are removed not just from their land, but from their food, water, medicine, and way of life?

For Indigenous communities across North America, the story of displacement isn’t just a historical wound, but something still seen clearly in their present-day health. Chronic disease is widespread across many Native communities. Genetics are always a factor, but their suffering mental and physical health is about access to their land, and removing them from ecosystems that once supported their resilience and identity.
