Black coffee is awful, but if you drink it a few days in a row it becomes quite tasty, just took some rewiring. Much like beer it's an acquired taste.

I really enjoy your paraphrased episodes. They are the biggest bang for my buck/attention.🙏🏼

I pray to god to give you good health and good healthy life span so that you can continue your valuable contributions for long time for the betterment of mankind 🙏

I take pretty much all of these, even eat blueberries and cottage cheese almost every day because my body craves it. I can definitely tell a difference when I skip a day.

For a future episode, I’d love if you could cover the topic of self-harm. It’s something many people struggle with in silence, and having an open, compassionate discussion could help break stigma, raise awareness, and provide comfort or resources to those who need it.
