"gossipy asian group text" is what I aspire toward. Thank you Viv!

Gay meathead here. What’s the pill that lowers cortisol? Inquiring minds want to stack

Nutricost Phosphatidylserine, this one apparently: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08XYDDXDC

Definitely identify with how hard it is to track Asian food w the macro tracking apps (South Asian for me specific but same problem). I’m wondering though if there are Asia-market specific apps out there that we just don’t know about. I know health culture isn’t as big there but there’s gotta be a small fitness community at least, maybe they’ve got apps. Would be worth looking into…

Seems like a big market opportunity, especially among the Kevin Nguyen/bodybuilder set

Yesss. My favorite one so far for obvious reasons! Gay global majority meathead lifting content for the win!

Gym in the US opened early after Covid because the owner of Equinox gyms and soulcycle, Stevan Ross, is a big Trump fundraiser.

Only save stuff on YT for quick access at the gym so as a middle aged white lady who works for a very leftie nonprofit I get the same insane algorithm push. it’d be more hilarious if it wasn’t so depressing 🙃🙃 fantastic interview, cannot wait for the parental controls app - in college I used something called Self Control to lock myself off the internet entirely for 24 hrs at a time. Pre-smartphone so it was v effective.
