Health Hides in Habits

Ten years ago, when I began my curious experiments, I didn’t know I was embarking on a longitudinal study of the human system. I had no roadmap. Just one question at a time, tugging me deeper into the labyrinth of physiology, psychology, and philosophy.

What should I eat?
When should I eat?
What is healthy, really?
What is sleep? Is that the only form of rest?
What gives me energy, and what quietly drains it?
What’s insulin? Why does sugar feel like a rush?
What’s a glucose spike?
Is fiber truly important, or just trending?

One question led to another. The rabbit hole went deep.
And then, slowly, the fog lifted. Patterns emerged. The truths became obvious. The data, undeniable.

That’s when the law of diminishing returns kicked in and the sutras began to surface.
(Sutra: Sanskrit for “thread”; in English, a pithy truth bomb.)

One sutra stood out like a lighthouse:
Modern health is 20% life science and 80% behavioral science.

That one hit me hard.
As a student of behavioral science, I could no longer shrug health off as a doctor’s job. That illusion exploded right there.

Even my doctor friends nodded in agreement:

“We know the biology, but we’re not trained in behaviors, habits, consistency, lifestyle. You should take this forward. We’ll help.”

And that’s how Sensibowl was born.
Not just as a pet project. But as a purpose. A responsibility.

🧭 What You’re Signing Up For

This isn’t a diet.
This isn’t a challenge.
This is a way of being.

Sensibowl is 20% science of the system and 80% science of performance.

Your journey begins small and steady — because that’s how compounding works.
Stability is the hidden power source.
Intensity? It robs you of it.

Another sutra:

If you do something mind-blowing every day, you will blow it up.

Biology doesn’t respond to ambition. It responds to rhythm.
And rhythm is built on repetition — the boring, predictable kind.
The kind your brain resists.

But here’s the paradox:
Boredom is your path to health.
Not hacks. Not hype. Not hustle.

🔒 The One Non-Negotiable

Eat at the same time every day.
Sleep at the same time every day, for the same duration.

If you have a global job, adjust. But don’t push sleep past midnight.
These two anchors — meal time and sleep time — are your circadian GPS. Lock them in.

You’ll start seeing gold stars. That’s your biology whispering “thank you.”
You’ll see green hearts. That’s your behavior saying, “I’m in.”

And when the streak breaks (because it will), don’t break it twice.
There’s no shortcut. No secret. Just a commitment to repetition.

Do this for a month — you’ll feel it.
Do it for a year — you’ll know it.
Do it for a lifetime — you’ve got this.

Because the most profound truths in life are often the simplest.
And simplicity, when done with sincerity, becomes sacred.

Karthi’s accountability: A perfect score (7 🌟 and 7 💚) so far for eating on time and sleeping on time + duration (6.5hrs). My days are crazy and I get pushed and pulled, yet I made my eating time and sleeping time a non-negotiable for the rest of this life. What are you waiting for?
