Back in 2011, in my early twenties, after I had just returned from living overseas, I took a job as a truck driver, crisscrossing the USA on a weekly basis. I preferred eating healthier foods, when convenient. Getting somewhere with quality food, however, was difficult at best. Truck was moving for both day and night shifts. Fridge space was sparse, freezer space was non-existent, and cooking was just about impossible. I loved fruits and vegetables, so I attempted to go vegetarian. I failed miserably. Not two days into restricting my diet, I started to get strong meat cravings. Figuring that my diet wasn’t appropriately balanced, before or after the change, I started eating meat again. I thought that I was missing nutrients that my body was starting to complaining about. I was right about that.

I couldn’t control the muscle manually, but I could trigger it with my attention on meat and the abdominal muscle. It was weird and my curiosity kept getting pulled along with each new finding. The muscle provided two different responses: an encouragement response and a discouragement response, a yes and a no, of varying strengths. I couldn’t control which response I would get, but I could give it different things to respond to: different foods, different behaviors. I had found a weird way to communicate with my body.

I originally thought that this communication method that I discovered was just some weird thing that I could do. Just one more weird thing about Sadan. This wasn’t the first time that I had found something odd about myself. However, six months into seriously testing it, I discussed it with my girlfriend at the time. She got it working for herself on her first try. It wasn’t just me. I continued testing it. To this day, I am still testing it and showing others how to use it.
