There are two versions of people as they become more successful:

The version that: 
- Struggle to say no to opportunities they don’t really want
- Lose themselves to external validations and expectations
- Feel a constant desire to get as far away from everything
- No longer feel at home with their success

Or the version that:
- Turn down good opportunities to protect space for great ones
- Stay rooted in what actually matters to them
- Make decisions that get people uncomfortable, and feel completely at home in them
- Feels completely at peace with their success

If you don’t love your Mondays as much as Saturdays, you’re probably no longer aligned with who you are, what you want, and where you want to be.

It takes guts to care.

It freaking hurts when things don’t work.

People who do extraordinary things fear this hurt too.

But they care deeply enough to risk disappointment over and over again if they have to.

Hard things aren’t hard because they’re hard. 

They’re hard because you don’t trust yourself.

The difficulty is rarely even in the situation.

It’s more in the state we walk into it with. 

Trust your training.

Trust your experience.

Trust your abilities.

Trust yourself a little more today, and much more tomorrow. 

A simple art of making hard things easier.

3 resources to help you say no more.

Every yes is a step away from freedom.

Make it worth the while.

Would you choose your life again?

The responsibilities, pressure, decisions, mistakes, and wins.

All of it.

Yes?

It’s great that you never let go of what it is you really want, even as you grow into greater success.

No?

You may have lost your power of autonomy.

And your success doesn't entirely feel like yours anymore.

In today’s issue, I explored the thin line between “I have to” and “I choose to”.

Quite a good read that uncovers how to sustain the love for your craft yesterday, today, tomorrow, and ever.

A life you don’t grow to hate.

There’s something elite performers tend to experience as they become more successful. At the beginning, everything is a choice. Then the path, risks, 

The power of autonomy

Abraham Lincoln wrote a letter to General Meade that could have changed the course of the Civil War.

He never sent it.

And that decision, to sit in the silence instead of reacting, was one of his greatest acts of leadership.

The most expensive decisions I've seen elite performers make were in half a second before they said yes or no.

And some regret a bunch of them.

Because they didn't stop long enough to hear themselves really choose.

Over the weekend, 1,190 readers learned 4 key habits for making the most profitable and aligned decisions, even under pressure.

My patience has been tested.

I’ve been misunderstood.

My grit, gut, and fortitude have been tested.

But this post is about feeling misunderstood sometimes.

I’ve realized it’s actually a luxury for people not to get you.

What if it simply means you're thinking at a higher level?

Think about it.

How do you explain to someone who shares no connection with the internal source that pulls you to do what you do, to understand why it makes sense, no matter how crazy it sounds?

How many can you convince?

Imagine the struggle, energy, time, and even resources it can take from you.

All for what?

I explored ways to make peace with being misunderstood for a happier life in my last newsletter.

What are you becoming through the suffering?

Two things happen when you set a goal.

You nail it or miss it.

If you win it, you savor the excitement.

And if you miss, you're not self-sabotaging.

You know you still got paid with more discipline, courage, self-trust, and a lot more from the experience.

The journey and what you've become so far will fuel you to try again.

So no matter how hard it is, you'll find your way back up.

If you feel empty when you hit a goal or linger in the weight of missing it, your goal was probably very ambitious.

But it lacked a personal meaning to draw happiness or strength for what’s to come. 

Over the weekend, 1,283 readers learned 4 great steps to filter ambitious goals for a happier experience.

Life wires us to explore...to find out.

To be more, do more, chase more, win more, learn more, and keep evolving.

But life is not what you're really exploring.

It's you.

Some people get stuck exploring what works.

It's not their fault.

They just:

- Lack patience and self-trust
- Don't trust their conviction to act
- Pay attention to what everyone else is saying
- Hold onto things that made them successful

Exploring you demands:

- Patience to say no to good opportunities, and yes to long-term value
- You sit tight and trust your conviction
- Pay deaf ears to what the hell people have to say
- A f*ck-fear mindset to reinvent yourself

Don't be afraid to explore yourself. 

There's so much more you're yet to find out about you.

P.S: My view...

Give people ownership.

Let people still see themselves in what they do before, during, and after they work with you.

Let them bring themselves to the performance.

Your structure should be flexible enough to let them keep the joy of being their authentic self.

There's a thin line between discipline and squashing the flame that makes people feel great.

The autonomy to choose is key to sustaining high performance.

Over the weekend, I shared practices to avoid losing yourself to external pressure as you achieve greater success.

Have a good read.

Every day, you're making dozens of decisions.

How many times have you experienced carrying a quiet tension between what you decided and what you actually meant?

This goes beyond saying yes or no to people or opportunities.

It’s also about what you say to people.

How fast you react to something only to regret it later.

We’ve all got something that helps us make the most aligned and profitable decisions.

And it’s just mostly never put to use.

The silence between decisions.

I explored this silence as an ally to make better decisions for a happier life.

Being ambitious is great.

But be honest…

Do your current goals excite you?

Or are they just a logical move?

Most people burn out from chasing goals that slowly disconnect them from themselves.

Your goals can't just be ambitious.

Make them personal.

It's more thrilling.

I explored a different way to think about ambition in today's issue.

A good read for people who care about high performance.

You set the goal, then it shapes you...

It’s actually cool to be misunderstood.

But wait.

It feels cool if you truly, completely believe in what you’re doing.

That way, external understanding becomes irrelevant.

You’re still open to healthy feedback.

But you’re not losing your mind because people don’t get what you’re on about.

Carlos Alcaraz was playing the French Open final against Jannik Sinner.

The match wasn't going well.

He'd already lost two of the first three sets, and now Sinner was one game away from winning it all.

Sinner was up 5–3, 40–0. That's three championship points. Three chances to close the door.

It already looked like a write-off.

But Alcaraz was focused on the next point.

He saved one point, then another, then another.

From there, he fought through a tiebreak to take the fourth set. Suddenly it was 2–2.

Then, in the fifth and deciding set, after 5 hours and 29 minutes, Alcaraz won the French Open in another tiebreaker.

And he did it all because somewhere inside, he refused to concede.

 He focused on the points he could still win, not the ones he lost.

 Indeed, it’s never really over until you say so.

Most dietitian jobs will ask you to hand out meal plans and hit session targets.

I'm hiring for a role and this isn't that.

I built TNV Method because I was a woman with insulin resistance & high visceral fat who got generic advice that didn't work. I had to figure it out myself... painfully slowly ... and when I did, I realized how badly women with complex hormonal conditions are underserved. 

So I built something different.

TNV Method works with women navigating some of the hardest cases in hormonal health — endometriosis, premature ovarian insufficiency, absent cycles, PCOS that hasn't responded to conventional approaches. Our clients aren't looking for a meal plan. They're looking for answers they've spent years not getting. 

Our team is small, clinical, and deeply intentional. We work alongside health psychologists. We dig into root causes. We take cases that require real thinking.

If you're a Clinical Dietitian who:
→ Has 3+ years of post-internship experience in hormonal, metabolic, or women's health
→ Loves complex cases and hates cookie-cutter protocols
→ Communicates with warmth and confidence — in writing and on camera
→ Wants to work in a growing health-tech company that takes the science seriously
→ Operates from a place of passion, not counting minutes on a client call 

I want to hear from you.

This is a remote role. The work is meaningful. The team is exceptional.

Helping women with PCOS, thyroid & insulin resistance lose weight by fixing the root cause | Founder @ TNV Method

This is exactly how you go from being a beginner at the gym to someone who does solid 90 min workouts. 

Beginners show up for 20 mins, 3x a week 
Next, level up to 40 min, 3x a week
Next, level up to 40 min, 4x a week  
Next, level up to 60 min, 4x a week
And finally, 90 min, 4x a week 

Most poeple go from 0 -> 100 in 2 weeks, but raising the bar iteratively is easier to cope as your physiological limitations expand. 

Keep showing up, and chase the next level 😉

Most women with PCOS are told to go on birth control. Take Metformin. Lose weight. Come back in 6 months.

Nobody asks *why* her hormones are dysregulated in the first place.

That's the difference with TNV Method 

We don't chase symptoms. We find the root through real lab work, clinical expertise, and a protocol built specifically for *your* hormonal picture.

At the core of our approach is Medical Nutrition Therapy. This isn't generic healthy eating advice. It's a clinically structured nutrition intervention, prescribed by Clinical Dietitians, designed to directly address the metabolic and hormonal dysfunction driving your PCOS. Your food becomes your medicine. Your labs guide the protocol.

Shruti came to us with a 90-day period cycle, elevated insulin, and years of trying everything she'd been told to try.

Six months later? Her labs are in normal range. Her cycle is regular. And for the first time, she understands exactly how her body works.

No guesswork. No extremes. No shortcuts

Just the most intelligent, clinical approach to women's hormonal health, delivered by a team of Clinical Dieticians (PhD), Psychologists and Lifestyle Coaches who specialize in exactly this.

This is what you deserve. Not another band-aid. A real answer.

If you've been struggling with PCOS, irregular cycles, or insulin resistance and feel like you've tried everything, you haven't tried *this.*

Shrut's Insulin Resistance Reversal Journey

A before/after photo does not tell the whole story.

Yet somehow, it became the only metric anyone uses to judge a coach's work.

Few things a "client before/after" does not capture but is crucial to know

➡️ It does not capture the mindset shift.
🧠 Eating protein with every meal until night time cravings quietly disappeared -  not through willpower. Because her body finally felt safe.

➡️ It does not capture the period that came  back after 14 months..
🧠 She texted us before she told her family.

➡️ It does not capture the conversation where she told her coach "I've tried everything, I don't think my body can change."
🧠 And her coach said "you haven't tried this. And I'm not leaving until we figure it out together."
(She needed to hear that from someone who actually meant it.)

➡️ It does not capture the PRs, the homemade meals, the supplement routine she actually looks forward to now.

➡️ It does not capture the 2am anxiety that used to keep her awake.
🧠 It's gone. Because we went after the root cause, not the symptom.

➡️ It does not capture the check-in where she said "I had a bad week" and her coach didn't jump to fixing it.
🧠 She just said "tell me everything."
Sometimes that's what changes someone.

➡️ It does not capture the doctor's appointment where she walked in with her own labs and knew exactly what to ask.

➡️ It does not capture the energy.
She stopped cancelling on friends. Stopped needing a nap to survive the afternoon.

A before/after photo shows what her body looks like.
It does not show a woman who got her life back.

This is what we measure at TNV Method. And this is the work we are hiring for.
