Fitness
Most people don't work nearly hard enough for this advice to apply, and that's fine. Some people work way harder than me, and that's also fine. This is what worked for me in my own pursuit of excellence.
I'm finally learning how to balance my health with insane productivity.
- This site is about my personal journey
- I created documentation for the keto diet at keto.gazzini.com
- I'm attacking this project at a more fundamental level via my work at TrueMed.
I hope you find this actionable & inspiring... or that it provides a high-fidelity data point in your mental-map of how people optimize themselves.

Programmers aren't usually paragons of fitness, but I believe our physical bodies are important and precious. I want to be extremely lean for energy & longevity... but it's also just fun to look awesome.
Let's all get shredded!
