Green Pill Stories - My Grandma

So, I think a lot about making my family healthier.

There is a boundary though, with adults. Kids and elderly with limited function are different. They cannot function with support.

I focus a lot on health span when I think about the future. The number of years you are able to enjoy life on your terms.

With my grandma, she had a number of chronic conditions, but we still worked together to increase her years of feeling "in control"...

Health Hacks I’m Testing:  Accountability Spreadsheet We all talk about forming habits. For me, attempting something daily is the easier way to not have friction. Copy mine.

Make sure dailies are S.M.A.R.T: Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Timebound

What I’m Listening To: Rick Rubin (prolific record producer & creator) interviewed by Andrew Huberman PhD on the subject of creativity, what it feels like in the body, etc.

What I’m Reading: If you want to get closer to your partner, start talking about money - NPR. Who knew. Finance as a form of romance. My girlfriend & I talk a lot about non-sexual ways of intimacy. TLDR: Being transparent around money allows intentions to align and lets you co-create a future together. Without clarity, there is space for misunderstanding. Misunderstandings breed resentment. Interesting piece!

It all started when I asked a new personal training client whether she wanted to me to "run her life". 3 months later, we trained 3x a week, but she also texted me daily, we went to Whole Foods together, I tracked all her sleep, made her "eat this/not that" take out menus, and she lost 35 lbs, went to therapy and started feeling confident.
