BLP Ep #324: Seasonality, Periodicity + October Q&A (Protein, Screenshots, and the Toddler Parenting Era)

October 12, 2026

In today’s episode, I start off by sharing some answers to listener questions.

TOPICS:

1- Planning adjacent question around protein intake, as a listener wanted to know which planning tactics help for meeting nutritional goals.

2- Options for managing on-the-fly screenshots. (Assuming you’ll just randomly come across them in your camera feed – DANGER ZONE for airtight task management!)

3- A listener with a toddler asks for advice for this challenging era and I do the best I can (but also mostly just agreeing it’s REALLY HARD!)

Then, I shift gears and talk about the idea of seasonality or periodicity – the idea that we can’t push hard all the time but instead need different levels of effort + rest within a day, week, month, season, and even year.
