The 80/20 Rule Is Killing Your Health Goals
All it takes to reach your health goals is a little more effort.
Just an extra 10-20%.
Let me give you an example:
If you're trying to lose weight it only takes an extra 5 minutes a day to weigh and count calories and macros.
But you get huge returns from that.
What about gut health?
If you're taking 3 supplements a day that will take you like 23 seconds.
And changing your diet will be a one-time investment of maybe 10-15 minutes.
The best ones though?
One-time big changes.
Changing your shitty routines into something beautiful.
And they take the same time if not less as the old one but bring more results.
Here's what I mean for gut health specifically:
Making your own kefir takes 5 minutes at first to set up, then 1 minute a day to stir. That's it.
But the impact? You're getting billions of live probiotics that actually colonize your gut. Not the dead bacteria in those expensive store-bought pills.
The store-bought kefir is pasteurized garbage. Your homemade version is a living ecosystem that rebuilds your microbiome.
5 minutes setup. 1 minute daily maintenance. Massive gut healing returns.
Chewing slower costs you absolutely nothing. In fact, it saves you time because you'll eat less and digest better.
Most people inhale their food like they're in a speed-eating contest. Your gut pays the price.
When you chew slowly, you're pre-digesting your food. You're activating digestive enzymes in your saliva. You're giving your gut less work to do.
Same meal. Same time at the table. But now your gut isn't working overtime to break down poorly chewed food.
Taking supplements with the right timing instead of just throwing them down randomly.
Most people pop their probiotics with their morning coffee. The acid destroys half the bacteria before they even reach your gut.
Taking them 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after? Same supplement. Same time investment. Double the effectiveness.
Eating your biggest meal earlier in the day instead of right before bed.
Your digestive system has a circadian rhythm too. It's primed to work harder during daylight hours.
When you eat a huge meal at 9 PM, your gut is trying to digest while your body wants to repair and restore.
Flip that pattern. Same food. Same preparation time. But now your gut can actually process it properly.
These are what I call asymmetric health gains.
Tiny effort increases. Massive result improvements.
But here's the thing - most people won't do them.
They'll spend hundreds on the latest superfood powder but won't chew their food properly.
They'll buy expensive probiotics but take them at the worst possible time.
They'll research complex protocols but won't make the simple changes that actually move the needle.
Why?
Because simple doesn't feel like enough.
We've been conditioned to think that if it's not complicated and expensive, it can't work.
But the truth is, your gut responds to consistency, not complexity.
It responds to small, sustainable changes that compound over time.
Keep improving your health and you'll have the drive to find these asymmetries.
This is how success is bred.
Most importantly: This is how you build a life you want.
Not through massive overhauls that burn you out in 2 weeks.
But through smart, strategic changes that become effortless habits.
Your gut doesn't need you to become a different person overnight.
It needs you to become 10-20% more intentional with what you're already doing.
Chew slower. Time your supplements better. Make your own kefir. Eat dinner earlier.
Each change feels insignificant in the moment.
But compound them over months?
That's when people start asking what you're doing differently.
That's when your energy levels stabilize. Your digestion improves. Your brain fog clears.
That's when you realize that the secret wasn't finding the perfect protocol.
It was finding the perfect asymmetries.
The small changes that deliver outsized results.
