    Hey Ali long time viewer here, just wanted to say how much I appreciate the massive uplevel in production value in your videos recently (animations, B roll etc). I especially enjoyed the animations of the research papers being highlighted! Glad to see as the channel gets bigger you are still authentic and not afraid of talking about your insecurities and when things haven't worked first time (like with the weight loss results on the DEXA scans). I used to watch your videos at 1.4X speed but now things are so fast paced and the editing is so tight I find it works better at normal speed - don't be afraid to slow things down and just talk at the camera without cutaways / animations every once in a while still - I can tell you are really thinking about engagment / retention in your recent videos but your awesome personality will shine through more. Keep up the great work. Your content & podcast have honestly changed my life so much for the better.

    Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

I didn't even know about it and I felt betrayed by my body. Soon after I started training boxing 3 times a week, I also got back into running, changed my diet according to the restrictions of my condition and started going to therapy. 2 years after I am in remission ❤️ I am better and better in boxing, I ran my 1st half marathon and I am doing monthly check-ins with my therapist. My life just started again! ❤️ It' so important to take care of our bodies and mind!
