"The path to financial freedom is crazy easy. It is so dang easy. It's two sentences. You want the two sentence playbook here? Yes. Okay. Here we go. It's make more than you make more than you spent. That's number one." - Ryan D Lee

"If you are putting your money in something that you don't control, If you are putting your money where you're hoping that it's going to go up in value and you have no control over that outcome, you are actually not investing. You are gambling. You are speculating." - Ryan D Lee

"There are financial factors inside of our economy that we just all take for granted now. These four factors are interest rates, taxes, inflation, and opportunity cost. And depending on how your money is positioned, okay, depending on where you put your money, these forces, which exist for every single person, they're either working for you or they're actually helping you get wealthy or they're working against you." - Ryan D Lee

"As long as you have a principle-based approach and a good supporting financial system, and I would also say community around you, it is all – I've never seen it – it's impossible to lose. You are going to wake up 10 years from now and this is how my mentor said it, you will wake up and your wealth will surprise you." - Ryan D Lee

Paper: The effects of early time restricted eating plus daily caloric restriction compared to daily caloric restriction alone on continuous glucose levels

 

 

Quotable moments:

"Maintaining a stable blood glucose level is critical for your heart and vascular system. It prevents nerve damage, vision problems, and chronically elevated blood sugar can negatively impact brain function, crush your energy levels, and make you really moody." - Dr. Erik Korem

"When the researchers analyzed the data, they found there were no significant differences between the two groups in terms of changes in average glucose levels, glucose variability, or insulin sensitivity over 12 weeks." - Dr. Erik Korem

"If you need to lose weight, start with a calorie deficit. And then if eating in a condensed timeframe helps you control your appetite, helps you put some guardrails up, or helps with not having low HRV at night and having an elevated heart rate, then do it." - Dr. Erik Korem
