Really strong framing of discipline as return rather than willpower. The gut-brain axis angle is interesting becuase it shifts the focus from "try harder" to "optimize conditions." I've noticed personally how blood sugar crashes make decision fatigue way worse, which lines up with this stability framework. What caught me most is the symbiotic loop idea: discipline creates gut stability which lowers the cost of return.

Thank you for chiming in!

I feel you. I have started discovering that certain foods help me more — or less — in my decision-making process, which leads me to two possible paths:

1. Supporting activities to counteract the effects (for instance, if I drink alcohol — I don't drink much but a glass of wine is always welcome — then I consume water).

2. Stop the ingest of that input.

Thank you! That shift from trying harder to improving conditions is exactly the point. Blood sugar is a great example of how internal stability changes the cost of decision-making.

Yes agreed

Gut health is the back bone behind our physical and mental well-being 💯💯.

Good diet is not only a way to own’s heart but also for our robust brain activity

Yess! Gut health dictates the signals that our brain eventually gets.

Spot on!

Thank you as always 🙏🙏🙏
