Started using it when I began GLP-1 medication. Had to do some reading on what to eat differently, and olive oil kept showing up. So I tried it. That was the swap — not butter exactly, just whatever I’d been using without thinking about it. Olive oil instead. One use a day, then more. I’m still figuring out what I notice. Early days yet.

I grew up thinking of it as a ledger. Something you used to count things, not make things. That changed slowly. The way most things on a farm change — without announcement. The Mac Studio sitting on my desk right now does what three or four separate tools used to do. Ulysses for the writing. A photo app for the images.

I started paying attention to my sleep data the same way I used to read the soil before planting — looking for patterns, not answers. What I found was humbling. On nights when my deep sleep dropped below an hour, my glucose the next morning told a different story. The CGM would show numbers climbing earlier, holding higher, coming down slower. Same food. Same day.… ## [The Mediterranean Table -- Where to Begin\*](https://gardeneroflife.micro.blog/2026/07/06/the-mediterranean-table-where-to.html) _2026-07-06 · William Roth_ People keep asking me about the Mediterranean diet. Like I’m supposed to hand them a plan. I don’t have a plan. I have observations. What I notice is that it’s less a diet and more a description of how people in certain places happened to eat for a long time. Olive oil instead of something else.

You don’t just walk out one morning and decide what to plant. You sit down in winter with last year’s notes and next year’s ground and you work out a rhythm before the first seed goes in. I’ve been publishing Apple and technology pieces here for a while now, but more like walking fence lines than farming —… ## [There's A New Rhythm](https://gardeneroflife.micro.blog/2026/07/01/theres-a-new-rhythm.html) _2026-07-01 · William Roth_ There’s a rhythm to a farming operation that most people never see.

You don’t need much of a budget. You need three fish and a reason to start. Sardines come in a can, cost almost nothing, and deliver more protein per ounce than most people expect. Eat them straight or on a cracker. Salmon is forgiving. Hard to overcook in a way that ruins it.

Here’s what it looks like when you put that into practice. Open Cronometer and set a custom protein target. For muscle preservation during weight loss, most guidance lands between 1.2 and 1.6 grams per kilogram of body weight. Enter your number. Now you have a daily threshold to work against.

Some of it is muscle. That part doesn’t always make the brochure. Muscle mass isn’t just about how you look. It’s how you get up from a chair at seventy-five. It’s your metabolic engine – the tissue that burns calories at rest, regulates blood sugar, keeps the whole system running efficiently. Lose enough of it… ## [Seafood and the GLP-1 Plate: A Natural Fit\*\*](https://gardeneroflife.micro.blog/2026/06/22/seafood-and-the-glp-plate.html) _2026-06-22 · William Roth_ \*\* One thing doctors don’t always mention upfront about GLP-1 medications – you can lose muscle along with the fat. When calories drop that low, the body doesn’t always know what to spare. Protein is the answer. But not all protein lands the same when your appetite is mostly gone. Red meat sits heavy. Even chicken can feel like too much. Fish is different – light enough to… ## [Chili Crisp Corn](https://www.101cookbooks.com/chili-crisp-corn/) _2026-06-20 · Heidi Swanson · 101 Cookbooks_ If you have a jar of chili crisp and some fresh ears of corn you’re well on your way to this summer-maxxing salad.

The technology I carry makes it visible. Libre 3 is the anchor. Continuous glucose monitoring – a small sensor on the back of the arm, readings every minute, trends on my phone before I’ve had coffee. I can see what a meal does. What a bad night’s sleep does.
