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

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

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.
