Your Inner Soil

Your gut, blood, nerves, and hormones are all living in an internal “soil”. LOTSWS supports that soil with hydration, minerals, and real-food powders that your body understands.

  • Better circulation and warmth
  • Deeper, more stable sleep
  • Improved digestion and bathroom rhythm
  • Calmer mind and more stable energy

Your Outer Soil

The same powders can be used to supercharge compost, worm systems, and garden soil. Microbes get the same enzymes and nutrients your cells enjoy.

The Five Roots of Renewal™

A unifying framework at the heart of the Light of the Soil Wellness System. The Five Roots of Renewal™ explain why LOTSWS works — bringing together hydration, minerals, fuel, warmth, and emotional soil into a single whole-system model for human stability, clarity, and balanced energy.

Logs & Metrics: Proof of Change

Accountability without obsession

This page exists for one reason: to make progress visible. Logging is not about perfection—it’s about pattern recognition. When patterns become clear, decisions become easy, and recovery becomes repeatable.

“You can’t manage what you refuse to measure— but you also shouldn’t worship numbers.”

What I track (the minimum effective set)

These metrics are chosen because they reflect nervous-system regulation, sleep depth, circulation, and overall capacity—especially during stimulant withdrawal and long-term vitality rebuilding.

  • Sleep: bedtime / wake time / quality (1–10)
  • Energy: morning / midday / evening (1–10)
  • Mood: baseline anxiety or calm (1–10) + triggers
  • Movement: steps + swim/ride/walk minutes
  • Circulation (optional): BP + resting heart rate
  • Libido & sexual response: desire (1–10), confidence (1–10), morning erections (Y/N)
  • Hydration: “met baseline” (Y/N) + electrolyte support (Y/N)
  • Nutrition anchors: protein + fiber + whole-food minerals (Y/N)

Why these metrics matter

  • Sleep drives hormone repair, dopamine sensitivity, and resilience.
  • Mood + anxiety reflect adrenaline load and nervous-system state.
  • Movement improves blood flow, insulin sensitivity, and libido.
  • Circulation impacts energy, cognition, and sexual performance.
  • Libido consistency is a powerful whole-system indicator—not a vanity metric.

How often I log

  • Daily (2 minutes): sleep, energy, mood, movement, libido signal
  • Weekly (5 minutes): review patterns and adjust one lever
  • Monthly (10 minutes): summarize wins and the next focus

(Y/N): Nutrition anchors met? (protein + fiber + minerals) (Y/N): Circulation (optional BP/HR): Libido (1–10): Confidence (1–10): Morning erection (Y/N): One win today: One adjustment for tomorrow:

Weekly Review Template (copy/paste)

Week of: Best 2 days (why?): Hardest 2 days (why?): Sleep trend: Movement trend: Mood trend: Libido trend: Main trigger discovered: One lever to adjust next week (sleep / hydration / minerals / movement / food rhythm): Non-negotiable for next week:

Rules that keep logging healthy

  • Log in minutes, not hours. Keep it simple.
  • Track patterns, not perfection.
  • If a metric causes anxiety, reduce it or make it optional.
  • One change at a time. Let biology respond.

This is how Light of the Soil stays honest: we track reality, improve conditions, and let the body prove what works.

LOTSWS Hydration

Hydration is not just drinking water — it is the art of getting water into your inner soil so circulation, nerves, digestion, and tissues can actually use it. LOTSWS teaches you simple hydration rhythms that shift your entire day.

What We Mean by Recovery

Recovery is not a label, a diagnosis, or a moral judgment. Recovery simply means the natural process of restoring function after disruption.

We recover from injuries, illness, exhaustion, nutrient depletion, emotional strain, poor sleep, chronic stress, and natural disasters. In every case, recovery happens when the right conditions are restored and given time to work.

Light of the Soil applies this universal principle to human wellness. Whether the disruption comes from stimulants, stress, overwork, poor nutrition, trauma, or prolonged imbalance, the body is capable of recovery when sleep, rhythm, nourishment, circulation, and nervous-system safety are re-established.

Recovery is not about fixing what is broken. It is about restoring what has been overused, depleted, or overwhelmed—so natural function can return.
