This is where I keep the things I’m constantly thinking about – nutrition, biology, training, and whatever else pulls my attention long enough to write it down.
Some of it is rigorous. Some of it is half-formed. All of it is honest about which is which.
About Me
I’ve spent the past 5 years studying biology, and along the way I’ve found “little” niches in almost every corner of my studies from ecology to human medicine. What I write about on this blog reflects a spark of interest, followed by an obsession, followed by a deep dive.
I don’t stay in one lane. These are the corners I keep finding myself pulled back into:
- Nutrition & Metabolism – how the body actually processes what we put into it
- Human Physiology & Medicine – The mechanisms behind how we function, heal, and break down
- Ecology & Evolutionary Biology – how life adapts, competes, and survives at scale
- Applied Training Science – where biology meets performance in the gym
As time goes by i’ll be adding many more topics to this blog but as for now, this is what i’ve been able to write about.
Why i do it?
Honestly? I don’t fully understand something until I’ve tried to explain it. Writing is where the half-formed version of an idea in my head either holds up or falls apart. This blog is mostly that process, made public.
Here, I get to be wrong. I get to post the idea before it’s finished, because most of my best thinking didn’t start out finished either. Or maybe this goes against the grain of popular belief and i get a bunch of angry people saying how im wrong about GLP-1’s being harmful for young adults.
I also just forget things. I’ll read something, connect it to three other things I’ve read, feel like I’ve figured something out and then lose the thread a month later. Writing it down is partly for those who are curious about my thought process or maybe want to keep up with me, but honestly it’s mostly for future me to reflect on my progression.
The parts I actually care about most are the connections when something from an ecology reading suddenly explains a pattern in human metabolism, or a mechanism from one class rhymes with something completely unrelated. That’s usually the actual spark behind a post. Not the topic itself, but the moment two topics touch.
Writing it down keeps me honest that I’m still chasing ideas outside of what’s my career aspirations may be and gives me a record of how my thinking changes over time, which feels like something worth having at 23.
So that’s what this is. Not a portfolio. Not a resume. Just where I keep the thinking.
