Hi, I’m Matt. Welcome to Steady Beats, a newsletter about chasing the good life at midlife: exercise, education, and eighties music. It’s Memorial Day Weekend in the US, the unofficial start of summer. Seeing as it’s a holiday—and I’m recharging after an intense two months in Write of Passage Cohort 10—let’s go with some lighter fare today.
💯 on the coffee! There are circumstances when we should avoid or limit coffee intake (and see what happens): HPA-axis dysregulation or a thyroid issue, problems sleeping. But otherwise, a cup or three of coffee is good source of polyphenols and antioxidants. And if it’s a mould/mycotoxin-free, pesticide free, your brain and gut are going to thank you too!

Why I mean why would you not eat for 72 hours! Don’t cells regenerate by themselves anyways?
Matt, I trust your fitness knowledge. Tell me, what happens if I focus only on running?
Or if I focus only on calisthenics?
Here’s to coffee!
Coffee and double cheese burger gang for life!
