The story behind the name FATSKN — and why failing at one thing first is the only reason the next thing worked.

It's way easier to tell what's causing the issue when you reduce your variables.

I love this episode.

Fix your mornings to fix your nights.

Minimalism isn't marketing, it's a diagnostic tool.

Cooking from scratch doesn’t have to be creative, aesthetic, or even interesting—sometimes the most sustainable way to feed a family is the simplest: a freezer full of meat, seasonal basics, and a system that just works.

Colds — especially in kids — might be less of a medical problem and more of a cultural one. What if a runny nose isn’t something that always needs to be shut down?

(This episode is a discussion about how we culturally frame common winter colds. It is not medical advice. If a child is seriously ill or you’re concerned about their health, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.)

I don’t believe in skincare — at least not the way most people mean it. In this episode, I talk about why I think modern skincare is often built on unnecessary products, fear-based messaging, and endless routines, and what I think actually matters more for healthy skin.

We’ve reduced food to macros, calories, and output.

Fuel in. Energy out.

But your body isn’t a machine — and food isn’t gasoline.

In this episode, I unpack why “food is fuel” is an incomplete frame. Your body doesn’t label collagen as “for collagen” or protein as “for biceps.” It responds to light, season, stress, sleep, and timing. It interprets food through a circadian lens.

We’ll talk about seasonal eating, metabolic flexibility, why tracking can disconnect you from real signals, and how I shifted from optimizing nutrients on paper to paying attention to strength, warmth, sleep, and cycle health.

Food does more than power you.

It informs you.

And when you understand that, everything changes.

For most of my life, food took up an absurd amount of mental space — what to eat, when to eat, how much protein, is this “healthy,” is that “enough.”

Now? I think about it as little as possible.

In this episode, I talk about what I mean by eating efficiently — choosing foods that actually sustain me (meat, protein, fat), stabilize my energy, support sleep and cycles, and don’t require constant tracking, snacking, or strategizing.

No macros.
No “collagen for collagen.”
No eating every 30 minutes.

Just food that works — so I can get on with my life.

And the bigger question: once food and body aren’t your main project anymore… where does that freed-up energy go?

In this first episode of Some Nuance Required, I talk through a quiet but uncomfortable realization:
I’m no longer “up to date”—and I’m missing nothing.

This episode is a response to an email I sent recently, and a reply I received from a reader who asked the real question beneath all the noise:
How do you actually decide what information matters?

We talk about:

• Why staying “informed” slowly turned into constant nervous-system activation

• The difference between awareness and noise

• How most information doesn’t change your life—but convinces you it does

• Why none of us evaluate everything ourselves (and never have)

• Choosing signals instead of reacting to headlines

This isn’t an argument for ignorance.
It’s an argument for intentionality.

Because most things worth understanding can’t be summed up in a breaking news banner—and most “important information” only matters if it actually changes your path.
