Warren Buffett's final letter to shareholders
Our stock price will move capriciously, occasionally falling 50% or so as has happened three times in 60 years under present management. Don’t despair; America will come back and so will Berkshire shares.
Greatness does not come about through accumulating great amounts of money, great amounts of publicity or great power in government. When you help someone in any of thousands of ways, you help the world. Kindness is costless but also priceless. Whether you are religious or not, it’s hard to beat The Golden Rule as a guide to behavior.

Show notes from Peter Attia Podcast “The Drive”
Soluble fibers – viscous fibers
Soluble fibers can absorb water and form a gel-like substance (viscous gel) in the gut.
This gel slows gastric emptying, blunts blood sugar spikes, and can modestly lower cholesterol levels.
Examples include pectin (found in fruits like apples), beta-glucan (found in oats), and psyllium husk (commonly used as a supplement).
These fibers vary in viscosity, and that variability affects their impact on digestion and metabolic outcomes.
I hope you enjoyed it.
