Why Is No One Talking About This? Polyester Underwear Is Connected to Infertility And there are several studies around the topic. We scrutinize food labels, research skincare ingredients, and filter our water. Yet we rarely consider that we're wrapped in potentially harmful fabrics for 24 hours a day.

The Network School - Days 36-40 Had a lecture by Ryan Johnson, founder of @liveculdesac —a fully walkable, car-free neighborhood built in Arizona. Did you know Amsterdam wasn’t always so walkable and bike-friendly? In the 70s, many of its streets were car-dominated and congested. Through deliberate urban planning and prioritizing pedestrians and cyclists, Amsterdam transformed into one of the most sustainable, accessible cities in the world today. I've lived in Barcelona for the past 8 years, where I’ve seen a similar approach. Its grid-like design, influenced by architect Ildefons Cerdà, creates open spaces and improves airflow, while superblocks limit car traffic within neighborhoods, making the city more pedestrian-friendly and community-focused.

The Network School – Days 22-26 This week was a deep dive into history with two stellar lectures from Balaji. My inner nerd thrived with the interactive quizzes—learning by doing makes things stick. The flood of references (books, movies, articles) he shared had me adding a lot to my reading list… which just keeps growing! Some highlights from this week (events organized by NS'ers): - Discovered 50 fundraising hacks, all explained through memes - Took a look into the world of Darknet Markets, how marketplaces work, appear, and disappear - Received my meaningful Chinese name thanks to @camellia: 我是罗心瑶 (Luó Xīn Yáo) - Attended a Full Moon party with the community: there was a bonfire, games, dancing and coconuts TLDR: A mix of learning, fun, and community vibes.

The Network School - Day 19 Shipping our indie hack biz, finally! We’re testing and polishing the final details before kicking off our ad campaigns. After a long workday, I joined a static dance event hosted by some NS'ers, followed by a fascinating philosophical armchair discussion. We delved into Machiavelli, Pareto, and Mosca’s theories of power—an interesting exchange of ideas with other NS’ers.

The Network School - Day 16 This week, Balaji’s talk highlighted the importance of intentional communities and active participation in creating a unique, technology-driven society. I like how he uses a ton of references to get his points across—books, podcasts, articles, historical events, etc. My personal reading list has only gotten longer since I arrived here. Later, I attended a Chinese 101 class by @twone and @elsa. It was super fun.

The Network School - Day 15 Any female biohackers following me? What are your thoughts on fasting before workouts. I'm currently training while fasted only during follicular and trying to have ~15g of protein before training during luteal phase. I know all bodies are different but I was wondering if anyone is testing something similar.

The Network School - Days 13-14 A calm weekend on the island. Saturday’s AI Film Hackathon was a hit—here’s a look at what one of the hosts of the Hackathon creates. Spent Sunday morning exploring Johor Bahru. Is it just me, or is working on weekends underrated?

The Network School - Day 10 The community: It's refreshing to be surrounded by so many smart, supportive and sweet people. I don't know everyone yet, it takes time, but every single person I've met so far has a story to tell, so many skills and knowledge to teach, or a big heart. My personal routine today: Early morning Vipassana > workout > breakfast > work work work > early dinner > session by a NS'er Also, I recently discovered the beach restaurant nearby our hotel.

I've come to the conclusion that if I create a wiki of ancestral medicine & wellness practices used by women across cultures (Chinese, Inca, Mayan, Indian, African, Aztec, etc), I'll find patterns that can help women today live healthier lives. Is anyone working on this already? Think about how your grandma’s remedy for period cramps might share the same roots as techniques used by women in India or China. For generations, women passed down this wisdom—long before the internet, it was purely ancestral knowledge. What if there are universal patterns in these practices that still benefit us today? I've already noticed some similarities in herbal medicine and heat therapy across cultures. There must be way more!
