📘 Afterword | “A Healthy Gut, A Healthy Trade?”
They say “the gut is the second brain,” but isn’t your gut environment surprisingly similar to your trading environment?
In a market where Bitcoin and JPY fluctuate violently, your body and mental balance can make or break even the best strategy.
When headlines like Trump’s tariff shocks cause erratic moves, controlling your internal state may be the first step to stable trading.
According to Dr. Jared Meacham, improving gut health starts with organizing your kitchen.
In trading terms, this means your kitchen should also have entry points and take-profit zones.
✅ Fermented foods (probiotics) = Well-reasoned positions
✅ Fiber (prebiotics) = Essential groundwork before entries
✅ Glass containers & blenders = Choosing the right tools—just like configuring MT4/MT5
Also, dividing your fridge, freezer, and pantry = smart portfolio allocation.
Just as a messy kitchen can’t produce great meals, a cluttered workspace won’t yield winning trades.
As we head into summer, if trading gets too intense, cool down with a bowl of miso soup.
Balance your gut, your mind, and your charts—and let’s take on the next week with a steady hand.
