🐜Everyone says ants won't touch artificial sweetener because "it's poison." 🫪☠️
The ant knows. You're the ant.

🔂Throwback Video:

The ant doesn't know poison.
The ant knows math.
It eats for one reason: calories.

Fake sugar pays zero calories.
So it tastes it, sees it pays nothing, and walks.
(Legit has sensors)

That's not a toxin alarm going off.
That's a bad deal getting declined.

Sweet was never the prize.
Sweet is the signal that calories are coming.

Fruit tastes sweet because it's packed with energy.
Every animal alive got wired to chase the signal, because the signal always showed up holding the money.

Artificial sweetener is a bounced cheque.
It sends the signal and delivers nothing behind it.
To a bug, that's a counterfeit bill. It walks.

We don't walk. We went looking for the counterfeit.
Because we're the first species in history with calories falling out of the sky, so we built molecules that taste sweet but cost us nothing.

Same reason you drink coffee. Caffeine has zero calories, it's literally the plant's bug spray, a nerve agent for anything smaller than you.
You don't drink it for fuel. You drink it for the signal.
If the ant drinks it, they die.
So that insecticide was a better morning for you.
Chemistry & biology are weird like that.

So humans stopped eating for energy a while ago.
Now we chase the feeling and let the calories sort themselves out.
And it's costing us our well-being because it makes us overweight.

The ant only takes the deal that pays.

We got rich enough to pay for the deals that don't.

I still drink the coffee and eat the fake sugar.
I just try to always eat whole foods at 80% of the time.

It sure has been feelin' like summer the past couple of weeks. ☀️🌡🫠

A slight shift to our schedule the next few weeks!

Until July, please keep in mind that we are in the studio until 6PM Monday through Thursday.

The above listed hours are when someone is in the store and can assist you for in-person shopping but online ordering is open 24/7 and orders can be picked up most days between 10AM and 6PM. 😊

We are very speedy with our online orders and can usually get them ready for pick-up within the hour. 🚤

Men's mental health? That's what inspired this.
But it's mainly just about brains in general.

So spent half this week dead certain about things I had no business being certain about. Caught myself twice. Twice. And I'm calling that a good week.

Being a man in it has its own flavor.
You're supposed to know.
Hold the line, have the answer, don't flinch.

And the whole time nobody mentions that the guy who can't say "I don't know yet" isn't strong, he just quietly unplugged the part of himself that still learns and called it confidence.

Nobody tells you the trap isn't being wrong, it's being seen wrong. So you learn to perform certainty you don't actually have, and the performance gets smooth, and one day you're believing your own press.

That's the matrix. Not some big conspiracy. Just a thousand small moments where looking right beats finding out.

I don't beat this. I'm in it same as everyone.
But some moments I catch the edge of it for a second & I see the script I'm running before it runs me.
That crack and edge is the only thing I actually trust.

Act firmly. Hold it all loose. Still working on the second half.

Part 2 - Structure

Most of us believe more sprit training = better athlete, but what if I told you that’s a myth?

When kids specialize early, they only develop in one direction, leaving other crucial skills and tissues under-trained.

That’s why our bodies look different and get hurt — not from doing *too much*, but from doing *too little* of everything else.
Changing the game? Ask your child to move in diverse ways—sprint, hinge, balance, and explore new surfaces.

It’s not about new drills; it’s about asking your body questions it’s never been asked before.

It’s simple but profound: **demand more, expect more, and build a resilient body that lasts decades. **

What’s one new movement you or your kid can try today?

A three-part series on what's actually happening inside your kid's body/brain when they train,
and what isn't.

As we start athletic camps, I want to talk about the areas of development. The time and exposure it takes to earn those capacities. About the downfall in sport specialization.

I built this for the parents who keep getting sold "elite development" at a weekend camp and want to know if any of it is real.
Some of it is. Most of it isn't.

The neuroscience is pretty clear about which is which.

Part 1 (today): Two kids, younger maybe 7-10 years old. The one at the rink, the one in the creek. Why the kid you're not worried about is the one being developed, the brain as a prediction machine. Farmer strong as a nervous system, not a body type.

Let's be clear, the sport needs to be played - often to get better at the sport itself. But it's dependent on many other attributes gained elsewhere.

Coming up:
Part 2: The rink kid's narrow library, the five core components every athletic kid needs, and why most kids only have one or two of them. Plus why ladder drills make your kid better at ladders and nothing else.

How brains actually learn — fast learning vs slow learning, and why consolidation requires sleep and spaced exposure. Why a three-day camp can't develop a kid, no matter who's coaching it. Plus the price math that should make every parent who's paid $500 for a weekend hockey camp a little annoyed.

Part 3: What kids used to get for free, what changed, and why the phones filled the vacuum.
Self-efficacy and mental health.
What an honest youth development program actually does. What it doesn't promise. And who this is for.

Each part stands on its own. You can dip in anywhere.
Whether your kid is 8 or 18, the principles in this series apply.

This isn't a Grandmother.
This is a Nini.

Grandmothers bake.
Ninis bench & bake.

This whole group is a testament to what's possible when a team shows up. ♥️

We don't chase "good workouts". We build capacity.
We work around injury.
We work within stress.

We work with hope — knowing strength shows up in more places than the gym.

We are so thankful to have inspirational people to surround ourselves with!

Let's Go, Linda's! 💪

Please watch 🙏 Ask Questions!
People ask me what I believe about Ozempic and GLP-1s.

So here — in about 16 minutes. (Yes, I have a YouTube channel.)

I don't have beliefs about them.
We have mechanisms of action.
We have rules of engagement and facts of function.
I don't think about the good or evil of tools.
I think about utility:
where they serve a purpose, and where they're the wrong fit for the job.
This is the long version.
———
A piece worth sharpening, because the video moves fast through it:
When I say "change the room, change the cues, sleep more, manage stress" — that sentence assumes everyone has equal access to that work.
They don't.
If you're below the poverty line, you don't pick the grocery store. You shop where you can get to, when you can get there.
If nobody cooked in the house you grew up in, you didn't inherit the skill.
If food was the safest thing in that house, your nervous system bonded to it before you could read.
If you're working two jobs and sleeping five hours, "manage your stress like it's a job" was written by somebody who's never lived your life.
The bootstrap myth assumes everyone starts at the same line.
They don't.
Pretending otherwise is how we end up blaming individuals for what is, structurally, a public health problem with a class layer underneath it.
So when I say "do the work":
I mean the work actually available to you.
Smallest possible practice.
Whatever the room you live in will allow.
The system needs to change too. Yesterday.
But that part isn't your job alone — individual choices can't out-vote a food environment engineered to override them.
Both stay true.
The work matters. The starting line is not the same.
