For years, we've been told the key to feeling our best is about willpower. That's a fundamentally broken approach.
The key isn't fighting; it's understanding how to work with your biology.
This thread is our shared lab for that work—a place to connect the dots between the science on the page and our lived experience.
What you share here directly influences what I write about. No fluff.
I’ll go first.
My "Why": After a health crisis with insomnia and fatigue that doctors couldn't solve, I realised I have to become the Sherlock Holmes of my biology. This newsletter is where I publish my findings.
Current Obsession: The "body-budget" model of Lisa Feldman Barrett—and how relationships rewire our metabolic health.
Go-to comfort meal: A pot of slow-cooked fish stew that tastes like home.
Your turn. Drop your answers below.

What’s your go-to comfort meal?
Can't wait to meet you in the comments.
