ADVICE

Fix Foundations Before Biohacks

  • Prioritize foundational health (hydration, minerals, sunlight, movement, social connection) before experimenting with biohacks like nicotine.
  • Avoid using quick fixes when dehydrated or stressed because they can worsen dysregulation.
INSIGHT

Spring Water Has A Terroir

  • Spring water preserves a local "terroir" and subtle informational qualities that bottled water loses through processing and packaging.
  • David views springs as original, living water with unique signatures that can affect health.
ADVICE

How To Find And Check Springs

  • Use findaspring.org and local geology cues to locate springs: look on shaded, north-facing sides of hills and near faults.
  • Test or observe spring water (smell, growth, clarity) regularly and maintain boxed springs to avoid contamination.
