I. U Salty Bro? 🧂

II. The Conspiracy: NYC Housing, Police & Death ☠️(DTE Podcast)

If you’ve been paying attention, a cornerstone of this newsletter is debunking notions of conventional wisdom that aren’t serving us well.

That continues in today’s first piece, and extends into our podcast.

U Salty Bro? 🧂

I’ll bet you’ve been told to ease up on the salt.

“Stay away from it!” They shriek. “It’s bad for ya heaaart!” Cries Grandma.

But today, we’re dispelling all rumors surrounding the mineral of life, instead learning how it can supercharge our workouts and focus sessions. 

🤨 Why Salt?

Sodium: Sodium is an electrolyte, facilitating electrical impulses in the body, including the function of muscles and nerves.

Your brain wouldn’t be able to fire without it.

Hydration Balance: Salt plays a critical role in keeping you hydrated.

When sports sports drinks. If you work out, live in a hot climate, or sweat a lot, listen up. 

Higher salt intake is critical for people like you. It replaces the salt you’ve lost through sweating. It also helps to prevent hyponatremia, aka low blood sodium levels.

Health Boost ⛑️ Increased salt intake can assist with blood flow conditions like POTS, (a condition that leads to an abnormally large increase in heart rate when standing up or climbing stairs)

I’ve personally noticed more alertness, focus, and ease of tension in the two years since taking more salt.

Use Salt To Elevate 📈

For a morning boost, try a generous pinch of salt in a glass of water.

That’s sure to perk up your workout, lock you into focus, and replace any lost salt throughout the day.

It’s like a Gatorade without the Red 40.

Why? It's the best quality salt out there because of its high mineral content and low processing.

It has an exquisite taste.

If you like the ocean, you’ll love this stuff.

I don’t recommend Himalayan Pink Salt either – it often contains microplastics and heavy metals.

The sourcing with this kind of salt is risky at best.

If anyone ever gets on you for adding extra salt to your water or food (and trust me, they will) tell them just like this: don’t be so salty!

The Conspiracy Is Exposed In NYC Housing: DTE Podcast 🌍

It happens every June.

The city pretends to care.

They hold a few public hearings.

Tenants, journalists, organizers, and those without a home line up — some with kids pinned to their hips, others getting by with walkers — to beg for mercy.

The people of NYC plead for another chance at life.

For survival.

A 0% rent increase, (a rent freeze) maybe.

Just one year of breathing room.

And then the Rent Guidelines Board votes.

Their decision, as always, tilts toward landlords.

That’s because the he same real estate industry that profits off our pain is the one

Imagine six wolves deciding hunting season — and the sheep aren’t even invited to the meeting.

That’s the Rent Guidelines Board.

This is the FIRE conspiracy in action: Finance, Insurance, and Real Estate all collude to feed each other power and money, putting we the people on the curb.

The FIRE conspiracy runs deep in New York — from the corrupt (and very buyable) mayor’s office to the terms of your lease agreement.

On the newest Down to Earth, I sit down with Kasey McNaughton from Youth Alliance for Housing to expose what’s really going on — and why your rent hike isn't just bad luck.

It’s by design.

So whether you’re fighting to pay your rent or just trying to understand why things feel so unfair — this conversation will connect the dots.
