The Human OS

During the first year of COVID my hands were so cracked and swollen I literally couldn’t open them. I tried doctors, creams, and the usual treatments for eczema, but the flare-ups kept coming back.

Everything started to shift when I committed to an intense eight-week fruit cleanse and began paying closer attention to what my body was trying to tell me.

In this episode, I share a raw and honest account of living with severe hand eczema, chasing root causes, and exploring how stress, the nervous system, and lifestyle choices can show up in our skin. I talk about the small practices that helped me recalibrate and what I learned through the process of healing.

If you’ve ever dealt with eczema flare-ups, cracked or inflamed skin, dermatitis, or chronic hand eczema, this conversation is for you.

I created a fake Instagram account as a 22-year-old boy to see what the algorithm would show him.

What I found was a digital echo chamber built on insecurity, dopamine, rage, status, money, women, and “the world is against you” narratives.

In this episode of The Human OS, I break down:

• What young men are actually being fed

• How algorithms amplify fear and grievance

• Why high-dopamine content is shaping male identity

• Your own social media audit 

This isn’t about blaming boys.

It’s about understanding the system shaping them.

The biggest lie about meditation is that it's about relaxation...

In this episode of 'The Human OS', I break down what Vipassana meditation actually is, why I’ve completed multiple 10-day silent meditation retreats, and how this practice helped me rewire my brain after trauma.

Most people think meditation is about being calm or “zen.”

It’s not.

Vipassana requires discipline and direct observation of your mind. And the intensive courses require you to have NO phone. NO writing. NO talking. Just you and your thoughts.

You don't need to have PTSD to relate. This is the ultimate mind-body connection scenario I could have never imagined. If your digestion feels broken but the doctors say you're fine, this is a reminder that our minds and guts are deeply connected. 💩🧠✨In this episode, I share the unsexy, unglamorous discovery that changed everything and why healing sometimes looks nothing like what we expect.
