Manuka honey is significantly more potent than regular honey, boasting over 100 studies that highlight its effectiveness against superbugs, gut health restoration, and more. It contains unique antimicrobial compounds like MGO, which contribute to its medicinal properties. I incorporate it into my routine, using it for wound healing, sore throat relief, and gut health support. It also provides stable energy without crashes. I recommend a specific coffee blend with Manuka honey for a balanced boost. Always monitor intake, especially for diabetics, and avoid giving honey to infants.

Manuka honey is 100× stronger than regular honey. 100+ studies show it fights superbugs, works where antibiotics fail, restores gut health (& delivers 10+ benefits) Here’s the science behind it & the simple way I make it part of my routine:🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Regular honey is mostly ''sugar'' with trace benefits Manuka honey contains MGO (methylglyoxal), antimicrobial compounds that don’t exist in regular honey. These compounds give it proven medicinal properties (backed by science):

Speaker 0: If you don't know about the health benefits of manuka honey, you're going to love this video. Stick around for a minute. I'm going to tell you all about it. The human race has used honey for thousands of years for all the healing properties it possesses, but manuka honey is special. It provides all the benefits of regular honey and a lot more. There've been a ton of research done on Manuka honey and the research is ongoing. So, the things that I'm gonna talk about here are scientific. Now, not everything has been conclusively proven. It has definitely been shown to possess great antibacterial properties. And this is primarily because of a substance that it contains that regular honey does not contain called methylglyoxal. Manuka honey has even been shown to be effective against MRSA. It is a great toothache remedy. If you have a toothache, there are two things I recommend, clove oil and Manuka honey. Just put some in your mouth, swish it around, hold it in your mouth for a while and you'll be amazed at how much it will help with a toothache. It's also good for lots of oral problems like gum disease and gum infections. It's a great sore throat remedy. Mix a couple of tablespoons full of Manuka honey in some warm tea, herbal tea, and then just slowly sip it or you can just put it in warm water. The wound healing properties of Manuka honey have been well researched and well documented. If you get a cut, a wound, a sore, a diabetic ulcer, a boil, anything like that, put Manuka honey on it. It not only helps things to heal but it has that anti microbial effect so you won't get infection. Manuka honey is also a great remedy for burns. If you get a burn, first thing you should do is put ice or ice water on it for about a minute. Then aloe vera, you should have an aloe vera plant at home. Just cut one of the leaves and rub that gooey stuff on there. Then when the aloe vera dries, put some Manuka honey on top of it. Manuka honey has been shown to be a good topical treatment for acne. It has been shown to be effective with H. Pylori if you have an H. Pylori infection or a gastric ulcer, just periodically drink some Manuka honey in water. And there's some evidence that indicates that it might be helpful in IBS, irritable bowel syndrome. So, and this is something that needs to be researched further, but there is a potential that Manuka honey could help with the symptoms of cystic fibrosis. Overall, Manuka honey is just one of those things that everybody needs to have in their medicine cabinet. There are different grades of Manuka I suggest you buy the best one. We all know that honey has been used as a cough remedy since forever. Manuka honey is better than regular honey because of that substance, that additional substance that it contains, the methylglyoxal, which is such a good natural antibiotic. One of the reasons for using natural antibiotics instead of regular medical antibiotics is that we have a huge problem in our world now because of the overuse of antibiotics and there are these antibiotic resistant infections, these superbugs. And in The United Kingdom, they're very concerned about this and they have actually made a recommendation. This was a number of years ago that they made this recommendation that people start using honey as a remedy for coughs, simply because first of all, colds and coughs and flu are viral infections and they don't respond to antibiotics therapy. And it's criminal for people to be prescribed antibiotics for those things. And they're trying to cut down on this. They're fighting against antibiotic resistance. So I wanna read something from an article I read. It says, as an offensive measure in the battle against antibiotic resistance, The United Kingdom's National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and Public Health England suggests people with coughs should use honey and over the counter medications as first line of treatment. And they said these new guidelines will support general practitioners to reduce antibiotic prescriptions. By the way, a lot of you know that I have a newsletter. Check it out.

"I have a sore throat, and instead of running to antibiotics, I try this first. So I use about three tablespoons of Manuka honey. Then I slice up some ginger. You wanna slice it up really thin. And then I use the fork to, like, mince it, and then I add it to the honey. Then you're gonna take, like, two to three cloves of garlic, and, again, do the same thing. Cut it up really small. Then I add about a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Mix it all up. You want, like, a syrupy consistency. I take a spoonful like every two hours until I feel better."

The UK's National Institute for Health officially recommends honey over synthetic cough medications. Manuka honey's antimicrobial properties make it more effective than regular honey:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

BENEFIT #3: Gut health support Manuka honey acts as a prebiotic containing oligosaccharides. You can't digest these carbohydrates, but beneficial gut bacteria devour them. This feeds lactobacilli, helping good bacteria thrive while crowding out harmful strains:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

BENEFIT #4: Stable energy It contains both glucose (fast absorption) and fructose (slow release). This dual action creates stable blood sugar curves, delivering steady energy and preventing mid-day crashes:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

My trick: I use a coffee blend with Manuka honey for stable energy. The glucose + fructose balance kills jitters, crashes, and anxiety. Drinking coffee with no crash was life-changing for me (and as a coffee addict, I recommend it to everyone in my circle):

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

BENEFIT #5: Gastric ulcer protection Lab and animal studies show it helps protect against ulcer damage by: • Reducing inflammation • Managing H. pylori growth • Shielding the gut lining from acid erosion https://t.co/b7mHTBCG18

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

BENEFIT #6: Superbug defense Drug resistance creates “superbugs” that are harder (not impossible) to kill. Research shows medical-grade Manuka honey is active against MRSA, P. aeruginosa and other resistant strains. It disrupts biofilms and works in FDA-cleared hospital dressings, without driving new resistance:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Bonus benefit: Oral health Despite being sweet, studies show medical-grade Manuka honey doesn’t promote cavities. It reduces plaque, lowers gingivitis risk, and inhibits Streptococcus mutans while sparing beneficial oral bacteria: https://t.co/bigMitgxQO

Manuka honey comes from New Zealand, and the Manuka honey that we see most of the time has various levels of antibacterial activity. There was one study that indicated manuka honey with an antibacterial activity of 15 or more. So it has to have a rating, an antibacterial rating, is used actually for sores on the skin that don't heal, burns, that sort of thing, because it is antibacterial and does have healing qualities. That's the latest scoop on Manuka honey. There may be more, but this is what I just became aware of more recently. Most importantly, make sure that your mouth is healthy, because if your mouth isn't healthy, you're not as healthy as you can be. That is for sure.

I’ve shared insights on the importance of testicular health, which influences not just reproduction but also hormones affecting energy, muscle, libido, and cognitive function. Many men overlook this, but simple self-checks can detect abnormalities early. I recommend optimizing daily habits, recognizing warning signs of testicular cancer, and making lifestyle changes like avoiding tight clothing and improving sleep quality. Prioritizing testicular health can prevent serious issues and enhance overall well-being. Join my email list for more tips on health optimization.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

This overlooked organ controls your masculinity: • Sperm production • Testosterone output • Cancer risk The scary part? 9 in 10 men completely ignore it. Here's what every man should know about testicular health (& the protection protocol that could save your life):🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

First, you need to understand this, your testicles control more than reproduction. They manufacture hormones regulating energy, muscle development, libido, even cognitive function. When testicular health declines, your entire system begins to deteriorate:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

But don’t stress.... There are simple steps you can take to check if you’re healthy — and steps you can take to protect your testicles. Let’s break them down:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

1. Monthly testicular self-check You're the first line of defense for detecting abnormalities. Men have discovered: → Early-stage tumors → Unusual lumps → Texture changes Through simple self-examination. Here's the 60-second protocol that could save your life (bookmark this):

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

2. Optimize your daily habits Most modern lifestyle choices are destroying your testicular function, including: → Tight clothing restricting circulation → Alcohol lowering testosterone → Extended sitting overheating testicles → Synthetic fabrics trapping heat → Poor sleep disrupting hormones (Below we'll cover the specific changes that create optimal testicular health).

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

3. Recognize the warning signs Testicular cancer is the leading cancer in men aged 15-35. Yet 70% never perform self-examinations. Key symptoms include: → Unusual lumps or bumps → Testicular swelling → Persistent groin discomfort → Heavy or dragging sensation Early detection = 95% survival rate.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Beyond serious conditions like cancer mentioned above, many men face less severe but still significant testicular issues. The encouraging news? Most can be addressed early to prevent long-term complications:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Here are specific actions you can take to enhance your testicular health: • Ditch tight underwear • Get sunlight on your skin (15–20 mins) • Don’t microwave plastic containers • Keep tech OFF your lap • Move every 30 mins (sitting kills sperm) • Cut booze, even the “social” kind • Sleep like it’s medicine (7–8 hrs) • Eat red meat, shellfish, & pumpkin seeds • Drink clean, mineral-rich water If you're a man who values his health, it's time to prioritize everything above...

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

4. Testosterone health Your testicles don’t just make testosterone — they depend on it to stay healthy. Low T can lead to shrinkage, poor sperm quality, and long-term damage. Here’s the No. 1 thing you can do to boost it naturally (before any blood work)...

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Improve sleep quality. Why? Because 90% of daily testosterone release happens during deep sleep. If your sleep is wrecked, your testosterone is too — no matter how much you train or supplement.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Here’s how to fix it fast: • Go to bed by 10 PM • No screens 2 hours before bed • Keep the room cold & dark • Avoid alcohol & caffeine late in the day

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

*This creates a vicious cycle* Damaged testicles reduce testosterone production. Lower testosterone further weakens testicular function. This impacts your strength, mental clarity, mood, and reproductive health. Without intervention, the decline accelerates.

I learned that 2 out of 3 Americans have low nitric oxide levels, leading to issues like poor circulation and low energy. Nitric oxide is crucial for blood flow and overall health. To boost it naturally, I discovered nine foods, starting with beetroots, which convert nitrates into nitric oxide. Other beneficial foods include spinach, arugula, watermelon, pomegranate, garlic, dark leafy greens, citrus fruits, and nuts. I also explored supplements like L-Citrulline and L-Arginine. I'm considering prioritizing these foods in my diet for better health.

But I posted a short post in my Physionic community wherein I described, based on my investigations, that nitric oxide seems to improve blood sugar uptake by the cells of our body. Not only that, diabetics have less nitric oxide as well as being less responsive to it. To me, this implies another mechanism by which we experience blood sugar intolerance as we head towards diabetes. Soon, I'll be releasing an investigation on how to increase nitric oxide through supplementation. Stay tuned.

Speaker 0: If you eat one garlic every day for thirty days, this is what happens to your body. Garlic has been used for centuries for numerous health benefits. But what can it really do for your health today? Garlic is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin b six, vitamin c, selenium, and manganese. But its real magic lies in a compound called allicin. When you chop or crush garlic, it triggers a chemical reaction that releases allicin, which is the source of both its distinctive smell and many of its health benefits. Within the first week, you might notice a stronger immune system. Thanks to garlic's antiviral and antibacterial properties, it's like a natural antibiotic. By day twelve, garlic starts to work on your heart. It helps lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease. By the third week, garlic's detoxifying effects kick in. It helps protect your organs from heavy metal toxicity, significantly reducing lead and other heavy metals in your blood.

Before we continue with the foods... Magnesium controls over 300+ functions in your body. Eating, sleeping, thinking, moving, even your mood. Being deficient can trigger nearly every issue you can imagine:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Magnesium deficiency can manifest in four key symptoms. First, hair loss and high blood pressure may occur together due to poor blood circulation. Second, numbness and tingling can be experienced in extremities like toes and feet. Eyelid twitching is another sign. Finally, a magnesium deficiency may lead to feelings of irritability, depression, and constant fatigue.

Speaker 0: These are four symptoms of a magnesium deficiency. Number one, hair loss and blood pressure issues. Why am I saying these two together? Because when the blood in your veins is not flowing correctly, it causes your blood pressure to go up. And what do you think contributes to hair growth? Good circulation in your scalp with your blood. Number two, numbness and tingling in your extremities like your toes, your feet, like just having that numb feeling. I definitely felt that before. It felt like my foot was dead at one point. So another thing I experienced and is also a sign is your eyelid is going to be twitching. And the last one is you may be feeling irritable, down, depressed, tired all the time. Follow for more tips on health, hair loss, and hair growth.

2. Spinach (Cooked) Spinach stores magnesium as part of its chlorophyll. It boosts magnesium by: • Preventing cramps • Regulating blood pressure • Increasing ATP (energy) production • Supporting GABA (calming) receptors The darker the green, the more magnesium it holds:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Eating spinach daily can lead to increased energy levels due to its high iron content, which supports red blood cell function and oxygen transport. Regular consumption provides one-third of the recommended daily iron intake. Spinach can improve the immune system because it contains vitamins A, C, and K, as well as manganese and magnesium. These nutrients aid blood clotting, boost immunity, and strengthen the skeleton. Additionally, eyesight may improve due to the presence of chlorophyll and carotenoids in spinach, which prevent muscle degeneration and improve macular pigment.

Speaker 0: You eat spinach every day, what happens to your body? It's a secret that doctors will never tell you. Firstly, you'll feel more energetic because spinach is packed with iron. Iron helps in proper functioning of red blood cells and transport of oxygen in your body. It makes your blood healthy and keep your energy levels high. Just eating a handful of spinach leaves regularly gives your body one third of recommended iron intake. Secondly, your immune system will get improved because spinach is loaded with vitamin A, C, K, and nutrients like manganese and magnesium. These vitamins help your blood clot properly and boost your immune system while magnesium strengths your overall skeleton. Thirdly, your eyesight will get improved because spinach is rich in plant pigments like chlorophyll and carotenoids. These compounds prevent muscle degeneration and also improve macular pigment, which means an improved eyesight. Make sure to like this video and subscribe for more health secrets.

3. Almonds They supply your body with formed magnesium...absorbed in the small intestine to support gut health and muscle function. Aim for: 1 ounce (about 23 almonds) per day = 80mg of magnesium (20% of your daily need):

Video Transcript AI Summary
Eating 20 almonds every morning can be part of a healthy breakfast. This amount provides approximately 160 calories, six grams of protein, 14 grams of healthy fats, and four grams of fiber. Almonds are a source of vitamins and minerals, including vitamin E, magnesium, manganese, and copper. These nutrients contribute to bone health, muscle function, antioxidant protection, and enzyme activity.

4. Quinoa Quinoa is a whole grain, meaning it retains its magnesium-rich outer layer (germ & bran). Rinsing it before cooking lowers phytic acid, reduces mineral absorption and boosts magnesium uptake:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Quinoa is a pseudograin with more protein than other grains, but its fiber content is modest compared to barley or rye. It is strong in folate and vitamin E, and leads in magnesium, iron, and zinc. Consumer demand is up due to perceived health benefits. Animal studies show purported benefits, but human studies are few. One before-and-after study of quinoa granola bars showed drops in triglycerides and cholesterol, but lacked a control group. A randomized controlled trial showed that a cup a day of cooked quinoa for twelve weeks led to a 36% drop in triglycerides, comparable to triglyceride-lowering drugs or high-dose fish oil. Red quinoa has twice the antioxidant power of regular quinoa and might significantly contribute to the management or prevention of degenerative diseases associated with free radical damage, though it's never been tested.

Speaker 0: Quinoa is a pseudograin, since the plant it comes from isn't a type of grass. Technically, it's a seed like fruit. It does have a lot of protein, also lots of vitamins and minerals, but so do all whole grains. Yeah, it has more protein than other grains, but since when do we need more protein? Fiber is what we're sorely lacking, and its fiber content is relatively modest compared to barley or rye. Pretty strong on folate and vitamin E, and leads the pack on magnesium, iron, and zinc. So, nutritious? Sure, right. When I think superfood, I think some sort of special clinical benefit. So, broccoli is a superfood, strawberries are a superfood, garlic is a superfood. But what about quinoa? Consumer demand is up, thanks in part to perceived health benefits. In lab animals it has all sorts of purported benefits, but there have been very few human studies. The first trial was a before and after study of quinoa granola bars that showed drops in triglycerides and cholesterol, but with no control group you don't know how much that would have happened without the quinoa. This is the kind of study I wanted to see: a randomized controlled trial. And about a cup a day of cooked quinoa for twelve weeks led to a 36% drop in triglycerides. Comparable to what one gets with triglyceride lowering drugs or high dose fish oil supplements. Which is better, regular quinoa or red quinoa? Well, red does have about twice the antioxidant power, leading the investigators to conclude that red quinoa might significantly contribute to the management and or prevention of degenerative diseases associated with free radical damage, though it's never been put to the test.

The conversation emphasizes the critical role of Nitric Oxide (NO) in maintaining blood flow, brain function, and overall health. By age 40, individuals lose about 50% of their NO, leading to risks like Alzheimer’s and hypertension. Factors such as fluoride toothpaste and antiseptic mouthwash can further deplete NO. To restore levels, suggestions include nasal breathing, sun exposure, consuming nitrate-rich foods, and using specific supplements like L-Citrulline and L-Arginine. The discussion highlights the importance of maintaining NO for longevity and health.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Your body dies without Nitric Oxide. It’s the molecule that restores blood flow to ''dying tissue'', brain function & controls erections. By 30, you’ve lost nearly 40% of it (& it won’t come back on its own) Here’s what it does & how to restore it naturally:🧵 https://t.co/Vd4GjMvwo2

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

First, know what Nitric Oxide really is. It’s a natural molecule your body makes to relax blood vessels, boost blood flow, and push more oxygen where it’s needed. It’s made in your arteries and muscles — without it, your heart, brain, and energy suffer: https://t.co/zY9jn7vgxf

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

By age 40, you’ve lost 50% of your nitric oxide. By 70? As much as 75% gone. That loss is linked to increased risk of: • Alzheimer’s • Erectile dysfunction • Diabetes • Hypertension • Exercise intolerance https://t.co/ktxAUMrZRx

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

And guess what — nearly 50% of people with high blood pressure don’t respond to meds. Because meds don’t fix the real issue… Nitric oxide deficiency: https://t.co/LmCnGNlJlq

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Warning sign #1: If walking stairs or 20 mins of movement leaves you winded — that’s not age. That’s a nitric oxide deficiency. Low NO means poor circulation, weak oxygen delivery, and declining stamina... https://t.co/6iyJHgU7QR

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

You don’t even know it—but you’re killing your nitric oxide every morning with: • Fluoride toothpaste • Antiseptic mouthwash • Sugar • Antacids One study found mouthwash raised blood pressure by 26 points in a healthy man. That’s a 26% higher heart risk—in just 7 days. https://t.co/Cbbs6gfyiw

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Why? Your body doesn’t make nitric oxide alone. It needs bacteria in your mouth to convert nitrates from food into NO. Kill the bacteria? You kill your nitric oxide too... https://t.co/pmTjZegO13

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

This molecule doesn’t just open your blood vessels. It also: • Wakes up stem cells • Shields your DNA • Builds mitochondria • Crushes inflammation • Fights infections • Fuels brain power A lot of people call it the “longevity molecule.” https://t.co/sxJmoZtA9u

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

As we mentioned, your body doesn’t know how to make it by itself anymore. So if you want to restore it — you’ve got to take a few simple steps. Let’s break it down real quick:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Start here: • Breathe through your nose • Get 30 min of real sun • Smash nitrate-rich greens (beets, spinach, arugula) • Scrape your tongue like it owes you money • Ditch the fluoride & antiseptic crap https://t.co/OXM9za8oOm

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The other route? Use supplements that boost it. It’s easy to lose discipline — and forget half the habits above. That’s why I started supplementing myself...

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

I tested a few nitric oxide boosters backed by research (not medical advice): • L-Citrulline → boosts nitric oxide & blood flow • L-Arginine → fuels NO production directly • CoQ10 → improves mitochondrial energy & vessel health The results were surprisingly solid for me...

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

And because I know some people will ask… I’ve been using this — packed with proven ingredients like L-Citrulline, L-Arginine & CoQ10 to boost nitric oxide, energy, and flow. Total game changer for me : https://lvnta.com/lv_LQ2LBJtMA7jCumEnd0

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

If you want to keep your nitric oxide levels elite — avoid: • Sugar (literally “glues” your NO enzymes) • Acid blockers (they stop nitrate conversion) • Mouth breathing (kills NO production in the sinuses)

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The discovery of Nitric Oxide’s role in cardiovascular function earned a Nobel Prize in 1998. But few people know it controls everything from your memory… To your erections… To your lifespan: https://t.co/v9ioy4HAqn

Unstrategic cardio can hinder fat loss by increasing hunger, burning muscle, and slowing metabolism. Instead of relying on cardio, I recommend a four-step protocol: maintain a small calorie deficit, control insulin levels by prioritizing protein and healthy fats, lift weights 3-4 times a week to build muscle, and increase daily steps to 5,000-8,000. Remember, fat loss is a gradual process, and results won’t appear overnight. For those interested, I’ve created a comprehensive fat loss guide available at a discount for the first few people.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Unstrategic cardio is the worst way to lose fat. It’ll only make you hungrier, burn your muscle, and make you fatter over time. Here’s the only protocol you need to drop excess weight by summer (without ever stepping on a treadmill):🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

You’ve probably been doing it for years… But I bet after reading this thread, you’ll realize why it hasn’t been working the way you thought. Before we dive into the fix—here’s why cardio might be silently stalling your fat loss:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

(1/4)It makes you fatter (not leaner). When you do unstrategic cardio, your body burns glycogen—your stored carbs—for energy. As glycogen drops, your brain releases ghrelin (the hunger hormone), making you crave food to refill those stores.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Cardio doesn't get you toned because it doesn't apply resistance to your muscles. Weight training builds muscle mass, which is what makes you look toned. Being toned means showing more of the muscle mass you already have. To look toned, you need to build muscle through weight training, not cardio.

Speaker 0: This is why cardio isn't getting you toned. Let's think about it like this. When you're on a piece of cardio equipment, are you applying any type of resistance to your muscles? No. What actually makes you get toned? Weight training. Being toned is just you showing more of the muscle mass that you have to your body. We've just concluded that weight training is going to get you that muscle mass, not cardio. If you wanna look toned, you gotta build muscle.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

(2/4) It burns your muscle When you do too much cardio — especially in a calorie deficit — your body runs out of quick energy and starts breaking down muscle tissue for fuel. Less muscle = slower metabolism = harder fat loss:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Cardio sends an endurance signal and burns calories, leading the body to become more efficient and burn fewer calories, which can result in muscle loss. While cardio plus weights plus a calorie deficit might lead to more weight loss overall, it won't maximize fat loss or muscle gain. The goal is to build muscle and burn fat simultaneously, so it's important to avoid anything that could cause the body to reduce muscle mass. If you don't prioritize muscle building, your body may adapt metabolically by reducing muscle.
AI Similar Videos
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Cardio does not send a muscle building signal. Cardio sends a build endurance signal, and it also burns a lot of calories during the time that you're spent doing it. So because it doesn't send a muscle building signal and because it burns a lot of calories, the way your body adapts to it is by making you more efficient, giving you more endurance, but also making more efficient with calorie burn. So you end up losing muscle. You end up paring muscle down. Cardio will send a competing signal with the strength training. So could you lose more weight on the scale, total weight, by doing cardio plus weights plus a deficit in calories? Yes. Will you lose more fat? No. Will you build muscle? Definitely not. So remember the goal here is to build muscle and burn body fat at the same time. You don't wanna do anything that could potentially get your body to pair muscle down. You wanna do everything in your power to try to get your body to build muscle while simultaneously eating a calorie deficit to burn body fat. Yeah. And if you don't, then your body will adapt metabolically by reducing muscle.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

(3/4) It slows your metabolism Your body adapts to cardio fast. The more you do it, the more efficient it gets — burning fewer calories for the same effort. That means you have to do more… just to maintain.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

(4/4) It spikes cortisol (your stress hormone) Too much cardio = chronic stress Chronic stress = belly fat, cravings, and hormone issues Not the lean look you’re chasing.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The main question everyone asks: "Can I lose fat without stepping on a treadmill?" YES. Here’s a 4-step protocol to shred fat without any cardio: 1. Calorie deficit

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Food quantity matters for fat loss — but most people get it wrong. You don’t need to cut 1,000 calories. A small 250-calorie deficit works. But calories alone won’t get you the best results.

Video Transcript AI Summary
To find your calorie deficit for weight loss, first track your daily calorie consumption, ensuring it remains consistent. Weigh yourself every morning for two weeks after using the bathroom, before eating or drinking, and record the data. Calculate your average weight for week one by adding all weigh-ins and dividing by seven, then repeat for week two. Subtract the week one average from the week two average to find the weight difference. Multiply your weight loss in pounds by 3,500 to determine your total calorie deficit over the two weeks. Finally, divide that total by 14 to find your average daily calorie deficit.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: This is how to find your exact calorie deficit if you're trying to lose weight. First, you need to know the exact amount of calories that you're consuming every single day. Make sure that this number isn't fluctuating and that it stays the same. Next, I need you to make sure you weigh yourself every single morning for the next two weeks. I want you to weigh yourself before you eat or drink anything after you poo and pee, and I want you to keep a log. And no, not a log of poo. Your daily log should look something like this. Here's mine. After you have one week's worth of data, I want you to add all of your weigh ins together and find the average. You can do this by simply adding each day together and then dividing it by seven. After you have weeks two data, I want you to do the same exact thing. Now I want you to take the averages from week one and two and find the difference. For me, I subtract the one ninety six point nine from one ninety nine point six to see that I lost 2.7 pounds over the two weeks. Now I need you to know that one pound of fat equals about 3,500 calories. And if we consider my weight loss of 2.7 pounds over the two weeks and we multiply that 2.7 by 3,500 calories since there's about 3,500 calories in a pound of fat, we're gonna find that I ate a 9,450 calorie deficit over the two weeks. So we can take that 9,415 divided by 14 since there's fourteen days in two weeks, and we can see that I ate in a 675 calorie daily def

2. Control your insulin levels When insulin is high, your body prioritizes storing calories (as fat) instead of burning fat for energy. High insulin blocks fat breakdown (lipolysis), meaning you literally can't access your stored body fat easily. The worst part?

Adding vinegar to meals is the number one way to control glucose spikes. Chronically elevated blood sugar can lead to kidney, vision, heart, and nerve problems. Vinegar flattens the glucose curve. Two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar added to a meal containing a bagel or juice can lower the blood sugar response by 55%. Any kind of vinegar works due to the acetic acid.

Speaker 0: I know a lot of you think this is disgusting, but it's the number one way to control your glucose spikes. Every time you eat a meal, especially if it has some sugar or carbohydrates, then your glucose is gonna rise. Now that's a natural process, and it's fine, but chronically elevated blood sugar levels are gonna lead to a whole host of health issues. If your blood sugar levels are elevated all the time, then you might eventually get kidney problems, vision problems, heart problems, and nerve issues. The easiest, quickest, short term way to flatten the glucose curve is to add apple cider vinegar to your meals. Adding two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to a meal that contains a bagel or juice has been found to lower the blood sugar response by 55%. But it doesn't have to be apple cider vinegar. Any kind of vinegar does the trick. The main key ingredient is the acetic acid inside the vinegar. Acetic acid slows down the rate at which you absorb food and thus it lowers the blood sugar response. So this method tastes a bit sour but the results are quite sweet.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

High insulin stalls fat loss, even if you're in a calorie deficit. That happens because your body keeps pushing to store energy instead of using it. The solution? Eat more protein, fiber, and healthy fats (and cut off processed carbs).

Lifting weights is the most effective signal to build muscle. Without weight lifting, you won't build muscle, even if you burn fat. The type of lifting is important. Circuit-based, high heart rate training is the worst way to train for muscle building and fat reduction. Focus exclusively on the loudest possible signal for muscle building. Compound lifts provide the stimulus to gear the whole body towards muscle.

Speaker 0: The reason why you wanna lift weights or do strength training is because that is the most effective loudest muscle building type signal that you can send your body. If you do not lift weights and you attempt to build muscle and burn body fat, it's not gonna happen. You may burn some body fat, but you ain't gonna build muscle. Speaker 1: Type of lifting you do, think is really important too because a lot of times, especially people that are wanting to reduce body fat, they get caught up in the calorie burn type of training and get focused more on this like circuit based high heart rate, constantly moving, constantly sweating. And for what we're trying to accomplish here, I would say that's some of the worst ways you could potentially train. Right? Speaker 2: Yeah. No. You gotta focus on the loudest possible signal for muscle building exclusively. And there's a couple of those compound lifts that really provide that kind of stimulus where your whole body is just geared in that direction towards muscle.

4. Walk more Steps will never let you become fat: • Burn calories without draining you • Improve insulin sensitivity • Boost NEAT (the calories you burn outside formal exercise) And you can start with as little as 5,000–8,000 steps daily: https://t.co/Bx9mg3x9UD

Video Transcript AI Summary
Shorter walks primarily burn sugar and carbs, while longer walks burn fat, but this doesn't automatically lead to fat loss without a calorie deficit. Even on a ketogenic diet, where the body burns fat for energy, weight gain is possible with a calorie surplus. A calorie deficit is essential for fat loss, regardless of exercise type or supplements. Longer walks burn more calories, aiding in a calorie deficit. To lose body fat, one must consume fewer calories than they burn. Building five pounds of muscle is more effective for burning calories and body fat than focusing on the duration of walks. Building muscle increases the body's natural calorie-burning rate, surpassing the impact of short versus long walks.

Speaker 0: First question is from Connie Chiwa. Is it true that shorter walks of thirty minutes or less will primarily burn sugar and carbs while longer walks will primarily burn fat? Speaker 1: K. Yes. That's true. But, no, it's not what you think it is. Okay. So here's what's true. Right? When you're doing cardiovascular activity or any activity, you are burning energy, and the first type of energy that your body will burn is in the form of stored carbohydrates. Once that starts to get burned up and used, and believe it or not, you have a a a small supply of that in your body in comparison to the supply of fat that you have that you could burn for energy. Once that is burned up, then your body starts to burn fat for energy. Now here's why it's not what you think. It's not what you think because just because your body's burning fat for energy doesn't mean you're gonna get leaner later if you're still in a calorie surplus. If you're in a calorie surplus, it just replaces it. It doesn't make any difference. I mean, keto, for example, ketogenic diet, you have no carbohydrate in your diet. You're running off of ketones, which is fat. Theoretically, you're burning fat all the time. Speaker 2: That's And that's how they love to market it to you. Speaker 1: Right. Can you get can you gain body fat on keto, or can you not lose weight on keto or lose body fat on keto? Absolutely. Sure. So calorie deficit is necessary for fat loss regardless of this, you know, how much cardio you do and what you whether you're burning sugar, carbs, or Speaker 2: And and the real benefit of comparison here is that a longer walk is gonna burn more calories. Yes. You know? So if I had to compare a thirty minute walk versus somebody who walked for ninety minutes, well, the person who walked ninety minutes is gonna burn more fat. That's right. Because they walked longer. You know? So and they burn more calories, which will then help them be in a more of a calorie deficit than the other person. Speaker 1: Yeah. There's you you cannot get around the simp this is a rule. This is a law. Okay? You can't get around the it's a law of thermodynamics and physics where you you must take in less calories than you burn in order for your body to search for fuel from itself to burn. If you're eating more calories than you're burning or same amount of calories you're burning, your body's not gonna what's it first off, if it let's say you're eating more calories than you're burning and your body burned calories from its stored fat. Well, where do those extra calories go? Right? Those it have to go somewhere. In other words, energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It gets transferred. It turns into other things. And, so you can't get around that. So you have to be in a deficit to burn body fat. And you could do all the, you know, the mixing things around, the magic you want, supplements, and all that stuff. But if that's not happening, you're not gonna lose body fat. Speaker 3: Yeah. At the end of the day, that's all that matters. I mean, people will deplete themselves, the glycogen, and then do these, like, crazy intensive workouts and everything just to get, you know, quote, unquote, burning through all the the sugar and everything else to you know, the rest of the day trying to burn fat. But if if the calories, if you're still in a surplus, like, it's all washable. Speaker 2: Well and, yeah, somebody who for average people, this is the type of content I can't stand that gets that gets spread in our space. It's like for the average person, this is so splitting hair difference type of conversation. It's like focus on build you know what you know what'll help better than all this? Build five pounds of muscle. Speaker 0: That's a Yeah. Speaker 2: You wanna you wanna trump walking for thirty minutes or an hour, you know, short walks versus long walks. Like, Speaker 3: go build fat burning materials. Speaker 2: That's right. Go build five pounds of muscle on your body. K? Which, by the way, five pounds of muscle distributed amongst your entire body looks like nothing. It won't look like Speaker 1: big difference. You're just tighter. Speaker 2: Yes. And you your body will naturally, on its own, you know, burn more calories, burn more body fat than any of those walks will.

To close this up: 1) Calorie deficit 2) Lift heavy (3–4x/week) 3) Control your insulin levels 4) Walk more (5,000–8,000 steps/day) And remember: Losing fat is a slow process. Two weeks won’t give you the results you’re searching for.

I struggled with stubborn belly fat despite cardio and diets. I lost 20 lbs in 40 days by focusing on lowering insulin levels for maximum fat burning. Key mistakes included counting carbs instead of eating the right ones, choosing lean protein over fatty options, and not combining keto with intermittent fasting. I learned to eat when hungry and ensure nutrient intake with fewer meals. Enjoying the process is crucial, and I created a fat loss guide with my tactics, now available at a discount. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting new protocols.

Your belly fat won't leave. Cardio isn't working. Diets keep failing. & no matter how hard you diet… the weight never comes off. I lost 20 lbs in 40 days by fixing what 99% of people get wrong. Here's the exact protocol I followed (& how you can copy it for summer):🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The goal isn't just "eat less carbs." The goal is to bring insulin levels as low as possible. Low insulin = maximum fat burning = maximum ketosis. Ketones are the byproduct of fat burning. More ketones = more belly fat disappearing.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #1: Counting carbs instead of eating the right carbs. Stop obsessing over grams and instead eat 7 cups of leafy greens daily. Fiber doesn't trigger insulin, so you can eat unlimited salad without breaking ketosis. Eat your salad FIRST to avoid overeating protein:

The speaker measures ketones in patients and finds that most claiming to be on a ketogenic diet are not, often due to consuming a high-protein diet. The speaker claims this was a mistake made by Dr. Atkins. The speaker's book, Doctor Gundry's Diet Evolution, was published by Random House, who also published the Atkins and South Beach diet books. The speaker states that humans lack a significant storage system for protein, needing it mainly for tissue repair.

Speaker 0: I measure ketones in all of my patients and the vast majority of patients that I see who say they're on a ketogenic diet, in fact aren't. Because they're eating primarily a heavy protein diet. This was actually one of the mistakes that that doctor Adkins made, and I know because my original book, Doctor. Gundry's Diet Evolution was done by Random House, who had done all the Adkins diets and all the South Beach diet books. And doctor Atkins didn't know that we have no real storage system for protein. We need it for wear and repair, but that's about it.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #2: Choosing lean protein instead of fatty protein. Lean protein spikes insulin more than fatty protein. Better choices: • Fatty hamburger (not lean) • Salmon (not white fish) • Chicken with skin (not skinless breast) • Never whey protein (almost pure insulin spike)

Video Transcript AI Summary
Many people on the ketogenic diet don't distinguish between good and bad fats. The speaker wrote a book to explore the differences between fats in foods like avocados and wild seafood versus fats in bacon or butter. The book aims to identify the healthiest fat sources to optimize fat burning.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You know, a lot of people that are doing the ketogenic diet actually think all fats are the same. Like, they don't really decipher really good fats from bad fats a lot time. And so, really, the reason why I wrote this book was to really dive deep and try to understand, is there a difference between, let's say, the fat in an avocado or the fat in wild seafood and, let's say, the fats in bacon or butter. And it turns out there is a big difference. And so, you know, really that's what the book is all about, trying to pick the healthiest foods that provide the fats to actually make you a better fat burning machine. So you mean there is a difference

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #3: Not combining keto with intermittent fasting. Keto alone gets you to ketone level 1-3. Keto + intermittent fasting gets you to level 4-6. Higher ketones = deeper fat burning = faster belly fat loss. Start by skipping breakfast (Eat at 12pm and 6pm only)

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The fat rule that sounds backwards: Phase 1: ADD more fat (nuts, olive oil, avocado) to kill appetite and start fasting. Phase 2: REDUCE added fats once appetite disappears. Let your body burn stored fat instead of dietary fat. Your body burns dietary fat before stored fat:

Video Transcript AI Summary
The unifying principle of blue zone diets is not whole grains or beans, as commonly believed. Some blue zones consume these, but they are a negative aspect of their diet, offset by positive elements like olive oil. The actual unifying factor across Loma Linda, Sardinia, Crete, Echirole, and Kitabans is very little animal protein. Vegan Adventists from Loma Linda are the longest-lived of the Adventists. The speaker states that limiting, not eliminating, animal protein is key and that the book will provide strategies to incorporate meat into one's diet.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: And I can tell you that the unifying principles of the blue zones, in other words, what their diets all share, is not the common things that you're told about. All the blue zones do not eat whole grains, all the blue zones do not eat beans, that's a myth, in fact, that is not a unifying feature of the blue zones. And as I talk about in the longevity paradox, the whole grains that some of the blue zones eat and the beans that some of the blue zones eat are actually a negative part of their diet that's overcome by other very positive parts of their diet, including generous use of olive oil in three of the blue zones. But the unifying feature of the blue zones, which was common to Loma Linda, it's common to Sardinia, it's common to Crepe, it's common to Echirole, it's common to Kitabans, is very very little animal protein. That's actually the uniting factor. And as I talk about the longevity paradox, one of my colleagues Gary Fraser from Loma Linda has shown that the vegan Adventists are actually the longest lived of all of the long lived Adventists, and again, the unifying feature of all the blue zones is not the grains and beans, it's actually limited animal protein. Does that mean you have to give it up? No. In fact, I'm gonna give you a bunch of tricks in the book on how to have your cake and eat it too, in this case, how to have your meat and eat it too.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The #1 rule most people break: Don't eat if you're not hungry. Every time you eat, you spike insulin and kick yourself out of ketosis—even if you eat keto foods. If your appetite disappears, that's fat burning happening. Don't interrupt it.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #4: Not getting enough nutrients on fewer meals. When doing 1-2 meals daily, you need: • More B vitamins (nutritional yeast) • More electrolytes • Extra sea salt (or you'll feel weak) The 7 cups of salad provides potassium and magnesium naturally.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #5: Making it miserable instead of sustainable. Include pleasure foods: • Low-carb chocolate after meals • Keto desserts 2-3x per week • Make it enjoyable, not punishment You should feel better, think clearer, and have more energy—not suffer: https://t.co/GyQUew3Ij7

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The macro breakdown that actually works: • Carbs: Under 20g (not 30-50g like others say) • Protein: Size of your palm per meal • Fat: 75% of calories (but adjust based on phase) Keep it simple. Complexity kills consistency.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Two critical rules: Rule 1: If something is working, don't change anything. Keep going. Rule 2: If something isn't working after 2 weeks, change something. Most people sabotage success by tweaking things that were already working.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

You don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. Focus on the healthy version of ketosis first and the weight loss follows automatically.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Why people plateau and quit: They skip the salad, choose lean protein, don't fast, and eat when not hungry. Follow these 5 principles and you'll never hit a plateau because your body will become a fat-burning machine.

Sleep is the strongest medicine, crucial for burning fat, repairing DNA, and generating new brain cells. However, many of us suffer from broken sleep due to factors like room temperature, blue light from devices, and large evening meals. To optimize sleep, I recommend foods like tart cherries, reishi mushrooms, kiwis, fatty fish, and kefir. Additionally, getting sunlight during the day and practicing deep breathing can enhance melatonin production. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting new protocols.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep is the strongest medicine on Earth. It burns visceral fat, repairs DNA damage & produces new brain cells. And 2 out of 3 adults suffer from broken sleep... Here's how you've been sabotaging it (& 6 foods that optimize it): 🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep is about melatonin optimization. Melatonin is the master hormone that controls your sleep cycles. The problem? You're unknowingly destroying your melatonin production daily. (Stay to learn the foods that restore your sleep & make you wake up refreshed):

Video Transcript AI Summary
Melatonin, produced by the pineal gland, is the body's natural sleep aid. As darkness increases, melatonin levels rise, signaling the body to prepare for sleep. Blue light from digital devices can suppress melatonin production by tricking the brain into thinking it's daytime. Switching off screens an hour or two before bed may improve sleep. A good night's sleep is a cornerstone of health, so respect melatonin.
AI Similar Videos
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Ever wondered why you feel sleepy when night falls? Meet Melatonin, your personal sandman. Produced by the pineal gland in your brain, this hormone is your body's natural sleep aid. As darkness descends, melatonin levels rise, signaling your body to wind down and prepare for sleep. But here's a twist. The blue light emitted by your digital devices can trick your brain into thinking it's still daytime, suppressing melatonin production. So next time you're struggling to catch those Zs, try switching off your screens an hour or two before bed. Remember, a good night's sleep is a cornerstone of health. So respect your melatonin, your ultimate sleep guardian. Until next time, stay curious and stay healthy.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep destroyer #1: Room temperature If your bedroom is 75°F or warmer, your melatonin production crashes. The optimal temperature: 65°F Your core body temperature naturally drops 1-2° between midnight and 5 AM:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Heat slows down melatonin production at night. A cooling temperature and environment will help keep your brain and melatonin flowing.
AI Similar Videos
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Interesting question. Is there anything that slows down melatonin production at night? Absolutely. Heat. So as your body heats up, one of the things we know is that melatonin production begins to slow down. And so that cooling temperature and keeping a cool environment is absolutely gonna help keep your brain and your melatonin flowing.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep destroyer #2: Blue light from phones TV blue light is bad. Phone blue light is devastating. Cell phone blue light is much stronger and held closer to your face. It doesn't just suppress melatonin - it literally damages your eyes while keeping you wired:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Checking your phone before bed negatively affects sleep, but not primarily due to blue light. While blue light suppresses melatonin, a study showed that even with blue-blocking glasses, phone use still impaired sleep. The key issue is the stimulating activities performed on the phone. Work and social media engage the brain, making it harder to fall asleep. Therefore, it's best to avoid these activities close to bedtime to improve sleep habits.
AI Similar Videos
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Does looking at your phone really affect your sleep? Yes, checking your phone immediately before bed is bad for your sleep. But it's not what you think. Most people think it's the blue light from the screen that is bad for the sleep. Yes, blue light does affect the sleep negatively by suppressing melatonin production. But a recent study showed something that is more important. The study had two groups of people use their phones before bed. In one of the groups, people stared at the bright screen. The other group stared at the phone while using the blue blocking glasses. The crazy part is that both groups saw a negative effect on their sleep. So the problem isn't necessarily the light. It's what you do with your phone. Working and using social media on your phone is active and stimulating for the brain that keeps you awake. So if you're looking to build better sleep habits, you want to save the scrolling for later.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep destroyer #3: Large evening meals Eating a big dinner forces your body to digest instead of repair. Better strategy: Eat two larger meals earlier in the day, skip dinner. You get more daytime energy and don't sleep on a full stomach:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Other melatonin killers: • Alcohol • Caffeine (even from afternoon coffee) • Nicotine • Antidepressants • High-carb diets • Exercise within 3 hours of bedtime Each one sabotages your natural sleep chemistry:

Video Transcript AI Summary
People who consistently wake up tired regardless of sleep duration likely have a sleep quality problem, not a sleep quantity problem. Even with varying hours of sleep, the feeling remains the same. Major factors negatively impacting sleep quality include caffeine, alcohol, and inconsistent bedtimes. Addressing these factors may improve sleep quality.

Speaker 0: So people who wake up tired no matter how much they sleep have a sleep quality problem. So it's not a quantity issue, right, because you can sleep six hours, you can sleep seven, or you can sleep nine and still feel the same. It's a quality issue. What are some of the biggest insulters of quality? Caffeine, alcohol, and irregular bedtime. So look towards those to see if you can help it out.

Sleep food #3: Kiwis Two kiwis daily increase serotonin (the precursor to melatonin). After 4 weeks of eating kiwis: • Better sleep quality • Longer sleep duration • Wake up refreshed • Fall asleep faster Nature's sleep medicine: https://t.co/E0bcxj6Rzy

Video Transcript AI Summary
Kiwis have the lowest glycemic index of any fruit, meaning they cause a slower rise in blood sugar. A typical kiwi has a GI of 39, compared to a banana at 62 or watermelon at 76, which can negatively impact blood sugar despite its low sugar content. Kiwis are high in fiber, especially when eaten with the skin on, increasing fiber content by 50%. One green kiwi with skin has 3.5 grams of fiber. Eating kiwis improves gut microbiome diversity, with the fiber and polyphenols selectively increasing beneficial bacteria like lactobacilli. Studies show that eating kiwi can help people fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer due to vitamin B6 and magnesium content. One study showed that consuming two kiwis one hour before bed improved total sleep time by 17% and sleep efficiency by 2.5%. The speaker recommends eating a kiwi a day, with the peel, to maximize benefits.
AI Similar Videos
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Alright. Here's the exciting news. Kiwis have the lowest glycemic index of any of the fruits. Okay. So what is a glycemic index? Well, it basically means how fast your blood sugar is going to rise after you eat something. Now how is that different than how much sugar does something contain? Well, turns out that how slowly something like kiwi is digested, and then the sugar enters your bloodstream, is what makes the difference in glycemic index. So does this actually matter? Well, for those of you who like to track your blood sugar with a continuous glucose monitor, it's a fun experiment to play around with, and you might be shocked with something that might have a potentially low sugar content actually has a very high glycemic index. So the glycemic index goes from zero to 100. Now a typical kiwi has a glycemic index GI of around 39. Now that doesn't mean anything, but compare that to a ripe banana, which has a glycemic index of 62, or watermelon, which has a glycemic index of 76. Woah! And watermelon, for instance, has a very low sugar content. And yet it's basically pure it's like drinking sugar water. I see the damage watermelons do in my patients' blood work. A number of my patients, particularly in season, go on a watermelon kick. Why? Tastes great. And they've been assured that there's very little sugar in watermelon. And yet every one of them, I see much higher insulin levels, much higher glucose levels, and much more disordered cholesterol numbers and insulin resistance because they went on that low sugar watermelon kick. So why kiwi? And why does it have a low glycemic index? Well, it's loaded with fiber, prebiotic fiber. So eating a whole kiwi with the skin on actually increases its fiber content by a whopping 50% more if you eat it without its skin. Now the good news is that eating a whole kiwi, this is a green kiwi, with the skin on increases its fiber content by a whopping 50% more than if you eat it without its skin. So one skin on green kiwi has 3.5 grams of fiber, while a Skin On Gold kiwi, which is actually much smaller, has about three grams of fiber. Now to compare, you'd have to eat a whole cup of cut up strawberries for the same amount of fiber. And I hope everyone knows now that strawberries are the number one on the dirty dozen list of herbicide and pesticide ridden fruit. Number one. Now many studies have looked at giving people kiwis to eat, and it shows that they get improved gut microbiome diversity. Everyday consumption of kiwi fruits, especially with the whole fruit with peel, was shown to improve lipid homeostasis and gut microbiota diversity. Why? It turns out that the fiber in kiwis seem to be really loved by our gut bacteria, particularly the good ones. And in fact, the polyphenols in kiwi also selectively increases the better bacteria in our gut. Another study in humans showed that kiwi fruit is a prebiotic that selectively enhances the growth of intestinal lactic acid bacteria. Now people have heard of lactic acid bacteria. It turns out that, as you'll read in The Gut Brain Paradox, we have hopefully a very good balance between good and bad bacteria, and they're supposed to be there, bad ones as well as good ones. But it's when that balance gets out of whack that the problems occur. And we can actually measure that balance in my patients. And interestingly enough, lactobacilli are a bunch of the really good guys in your gut. And so many of my patients, they don't have very many lactobacilli. So eating kiwis are a great way to increase those lactobacilli. In fact, the gold kiwi is so good at this, there are even companies that sell gold kiwi supplements. Now here's a fun fact. According to one study, eating kiwi can actually help you fall asleep quicker and stay asleep longer. They actually contain vitamin B6, which can help tired muscles relax, and they're a great source of magnesium, a mineral that's crucial for getting good sleep. Now there's a study involving volunteers, 25 people, who self reported sleep disturbances. This study demonstrated that consumption of two kiwi fruit one hour before bedtime for a month significantly improved ectography measured total sleep trend. That's a fancy way of doing a sleep study in a sleep lab by 17%, and sleep efficiency by 2.5%. Now that doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it was actually very statistically significant. So survey says one of the best fruits you can eat is a kiwi fruit. How do you eat it with a peel? Here's the easiest way to do it. Chop the ends off with a knife, and when you start, cut it in quarters, and then eat it like a as a sliver. Eventually, cut the ends off and eat it like an apple. Now, just because it's probably the best fruit you can eat doesn't mean to go hog wild and eat them all day. But from now on, I want you to replace that saying an apple a day keeps the doctor away with a kiwi a day keeps the doctor away. Just remember, don't peel them, eat the fuzzy part, And some of the best polyphenols are in the skin as well as those gut buddy boosting prebiotics. More amazing episodes just like this one, watch now. The Best and Worst Fruits to Support Your Health Okay, as you might already know, I have three rules when it comes to consuming fruit.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep food #4: Fatty fish Salmon, tuna, and trout all naturally boost melatonin production. The omega-3 fatty acids optimize brain chemistry for deeper sleep cycles. Eat fatty fish 3-4 times per week for best results. https://t.co/UsrGzUM8Ug

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Sleep food #5: Kefir (not yogurt) Kefir has more beneficial microbes than yogurt and survives stomach acid better. Get unflavored, whole milk, grass-fed kefir. Blend with polyphenol-rich berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries) to feed your sleep-promoting gut bacteria.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The sun exposure secret: Get sunlight during the day to boost nighttime melatonin. Vitamin D from sun exposure helps reset your circadian rhythm. If you have sleep apnea, jet lag, or work rotating shifts, vitamin D supplementation is crucial: https://t.co/eF21AM3u6s

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The breathing hack: Focus on slow, deep breathing through your nose while falling asleep. This pulls you out of the sympathetic stress state and activates your parasympathetic nervous system. Proper breathing = instant sleep switch.

And so, really, the reason why I wrote this book was to really dive deep and try to understand, is there a difference between, let's say, the fat in an avocado or the fat in wild seafood and, let's say, the fats in bacon or butter. And it turns out there is a big difference. And so, you know, really that's what the book is all about, trying to pick the healthiest foods that provide the fats to actually make you a better fat burning machine. So you mean there is a difference

Mistake #3: Not combining keto with intermittent fasting. Keto alone gets you to ketone level 1-3. Keto + intermittent fasting gets you to level 4-6. Higher ketones = deeper fat burning = faster belly fat loss. Start by skipping breakfast (Eat at 12pm and 6pm only)

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The fat rule that sounds backwards: Phase 1: ADD more fat (nuts, olive oil, avocado) to kill appetite and start fasting. Phase 2: REDUCE added fats once appetite disappears. Let your body burn stored fat instead of dietary fat. Your body burns dietary fat before stored fat:

The unifying principle of blue zone diets is not whole grains or beans, as commonly believed. Some blue zones consume these, but they may have a negative impact, offset by positive elements like olive oil. The actual unifying factor across Loma Linda, Sardinia, Crete, Echirole, and Kitabans is very little animal protein. Vegan Adventists are the longest-lived within the Adventist community, reinforcing that limited animal protein is key, not grains and beans. It's not necessary to completely eliminate animal protein, and the book will provide strategies to incorporate meat into the diet.

Speaker 0: And I can tell you that the unifying principles of the blue zones, in other words, what their diets all share, is not the common things that you're told about. All the blue zones do not eat whole grains, all the blue zones do not eat beans, that's a myth, in fact, that is not a unifying feature of the blue zones. And as I talk about in the longevity paradox, the whole grains that some of the blue zones eat and the beans that some of the blue zones eat are actually a negative part of their diet that's overcome by other very positive parts of their diet, including generous use of olive oil in three of the blue zones. But the unifying feature of the blue zones, which was common to Loma Linda, it's common to Sardinia, it's common to Crepe, it's common to Echirole, it's common to Kitabans, is very very little animal protein. That's actually the uniting factor. And as I talk about the longevity paradox, one of my colleagues Gary Fraser from Loma Linda has shown that the vegan Adventists are actually the longest lived of all of the long lived Adventists, and again, the unifying feature of all the blue zones is not the grains and beans, it's actually limited animal protein. Does that mean you have to give it up? No. In fact, I'm gonna give you a bunch of tricks in the book on how to have your cake and eat it too, in this case, how to have your meat and eat it too.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The #1 rule most people break: Don't eat if you're not hungry. Every time you eat, you spike insulin and kick yourself out of ketosis—even if you eat keto foods. If your appetite disappears, that's fat burning happening. Don't interrupt it.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #4: Not getting enough nutrients on fewer meals. When doing 1-2 meals daily, you need: • More B vitamins (nutritional yeast) • More electrolytes • Extra sea salt (or you'll feel weak) The 7 cups of salad provides potassium and magnesium naturally:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Mistake #5: Making it miserable instead of sustainable. Include pleasure foods: • Low-carb chocolate after meals • Keto desserts 2-3x per week • Make it enjoyable, not punishment You should feel better, think clearer, and have more energy—not suffer: https://t.co/Q6gf9PJ5bn

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The macro breakdown that actually works: • Carbs: Under 20g (not 30-50g like others say) • Protein: Size of your palm per meal • Fat: 75% of calories (but adjust based on phase) Keep it simple. Complexity kills consistency.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Two critical rules: Rule 1: If something is working, don't change anything. Keep going. Rule 2: If something isn't working after 2 weeks, change something. Most people sabotage success by tweaking things that were already working.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

You don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. Focus on the healthy version of ketosis first and the weight loss follows automatically.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Why people plateau and quit: They skip the salad, choose lean protein, don't fast, and eat when not hungry. Follow these 5 principles and you'll never hit a plateau because your body will become a fat-burning machine.

I've been exploring Lion's Mane, a powerful mushroom with a 2,000-year history in Chinese medicine. It regenerates damaged nerves, stimulates nerve growth factor for sharper memory, and can even reverse cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's. It also helps reduce anxiety, improves sleep quality, boosts immune function, and may fight cancer growth. However, I learned that 70-80% of Lion's Mane products are fake, so I prioritize high-quality forms. I cycle it based on my needs and always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new regimen.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Big Pharma's greatest enemy: Lion's Mane. A 2,000-year-old mushroom that regenerates brain cells, slows cancer growth & helps prevent Alzheimer's. Here's how to use it right (& avoid the toxic versions on the market): 🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

First, what is Lion's Mane? A powerful nootropic used for 2,000+ years in Chinese medicine. It's one of the rare 1-in-3 million mushrooms with proven effects on the human brain:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Lion's Mane mushroom has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine, Japan, and Korea for several reasons. Unlike most nootropics that modulate neurotransmitters, Lion's Mane increases a specific protein needed to regenerate brain neurons, making it effective. Lion's Mane contains two active compounds, herosanans and renaissance, which work differently but are complementary. The video will discuss the main benefits of supplementing with Lion's Mane mushroom, recommended dosage, side effects, and whether or not you should supplement it.

Speaker 0: What's the recommended dosage? What are the side effects? And at the end of this video, I'm going to share with you if you should supplement it or not. So historically Lion's Mane mushroom has been used for centuries in Chinese medicine, in Japan, in Korea, in different parts of Asia. It has been used for several reasons which we're talk about today. Now the interesting thing about lion's mane mushroom is that it works quite differently compared to many armotropics. Now while most nootropics work by modulating the production of neurotransmitters, lion's mane mushroom works on increasing a specific protein that is needed to regenerate neurons in our brain. And that's one the reasons why lion's mane mushroom is so effective. Now lion's mane contains two active compounds, herosanans and renaissance. Now I'm sorry for the pronunciation if it's wrong, I'm really trying my best here, but you can read about those active compounds below, so don't worry about it. Now both active compounds work differently, but they're also complementary and that's why, you know, a lion's mint mushroom is so beneficial. So which are the main benefits of supplementing lion's mint mushroom?

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Benefit #1: Regenerates damaged nerves Unlike other supplements that just "support" brain health, Lion's Mane actually REGROWS damaged nerve cells. Studies show it can help heal brain injuries and reverse nerve damage through neurogenesis:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Benefit #2: Stimulates NGF (Nerve Growth Factor) Lion's Mane contains hericenones and erinacines - compounds that force your brain to produce more NGF. NGF = the protein that grows new brain cells and protects existing ones. More NGF = sharper memory, faster learning, better focus:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Lion's mane mushroom supplementation has several benefits, including increasing neuro growth factor (NGF), which is responsible for neuron maintenance and growth in the brain. Higher NGF levels improve cognition. Lion's mane also prevents neurodegeneration by increasing NGF, creating conditions for neuron regeneration, and improving short and long-term memory. It supports immunomodulation, which can improve the immune system. Lion's mane has anti-inflammatory effects, reducing excessive nitric oxide. Animal studies suggest it has cancer-fighting properties by decreasing tumors, but whether this applies to humans is still under investigation.

Speaker 0: So which are the main benefits of supplementing lion's mane mushroom? Let's find out. First of all, lion's mane mushroom increases neuro growth factor. Neuro growth factor or NGF, that's the way it's often called NGF, is basically responsible for the maintenance and the growth of neurons in our brain. And studies have shown that, supplementing lungs mane can increase NGF. And, you know, having higher levels of NGF in our brain actually improves our cognition. And that's why, that's the main important benefit of lion's mane mushroom, our cognition improves if we supplement it. Now the second benefit of supplementing lion's mane mushroom is that it prevents neurodegeneration. Now as you might know, neurons in our brains have the ability to regenerate but they need, you know, specific conditions for that. Now if we have a low level of NGF in our brains, then brain cells can just die without having the ability to regenerate. Supplementing lion's mint mushroom increases NGF. This means that at the same time, it also provide the conditions in which, you know, neurons can, better regenerate and that's very important. And by increasing the NGF levels in our brain, our, short and long term memory can also improve. Now the third benefit of supplementing lion's mane mushroom is actually related to improving our immune system. Now as you might know, poor immune response is often the underlying cause of many chronic diseases. Now there's a response system, so called immunomodulation that can support our immune system and of course supplementing lion's mane can support the immunomodulation And that's, you know, another big benefit of supplementing lion's mane mushroom. Another benefit of lion's mane mushroom is that it can fight, inflammation. Now lion's mane mushroom bears an anti inflammatory effect by a few different mechanisms. It actually reduces excessive nitric oxide. Then there are many others, which you can read more about below, but just bear in mind that supplementing lion's mint mushroom has a lot of anti inflammatory benefits or effects. Another benefit are the cancer fighting properties of lion's mint mushroom. There have been a lot of studies done primarily on animals, on mice, with different kind of tumors and so on, and supplementing lion's mint mushroom definitely helped those mice, decreasing the tumor and, you know, they had, some other benefits. Now if this works on humans, as well or not, we don't know whether there's a lack of studies done. But as far as I know, lot of studies are ongoing. So we're gonna figure out, I believe, pretty quickly to see if I know what are what's the real power of supplementing Lion's Mane mushroom on, you know, treating, you know, different kind of cancers and, so on. And

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Benefit #3: Fights Alzheimer's & dementia Lion's Mane doesn't just slow cognitive decline - it can REVERSE it. In human trials, elderly participants showed significant improvement in memory and function after 16 weeks:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Benefit #4: Destroys anxiety & depression Lion's Mane repairs the hippocampus - your brain's emotion control center. In one study, subjects taking Lion's Mane for 4 weeks had significantly lower scores of anxiety and depression:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Lion's mane mushroom supplementation may help with anxiety and depression. Studies suggest that supplementing with lion's mane mushroom improves cognition while decreasing anxiety or helping with depression, as it has some antidepressant properties.

Speaker 0: And last but not least, supplementing man mushroom can help us with anxiety, with depression. There have been some studies done and there that's very good to know. If we know that supplementing lion's man mushroom, improves our cognition while it decreases decreases our anxiety or helps with depression, for example, because it has some antidepressant properties. You see the real power of this mushroom

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Benefit #5: Improves sleep quality Lion's Mane calms your nervous system and lowers cortisol naturally. You fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up refreshed. All without the brain fog and dependency of sleep medications.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

⚠️WARNING: 70-80% of Lion's Mane is FAKE ⚠️ Most companies sell "mycelium on grain" - basically flavored starch with zero active compounds. Check the label. If it doesn't say "fruiting body," don't buy it:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Forms of Lion's Mane (ranked by effectiveness): 1. Dual-extract powder (Best bioavailability) 2. Alcohol tincture (Fast absorption) 3. Fruiting body capsules (Convenient dosing) 4. Coffee blends (Often underdosed) (Avoid: Mycelium powder & cheap capsules)

I’ve learned that 4 out of 5 men over 35 experience hair loss, and typical solutions like special shampoos won’t help. Hair grows in four phases, and after the cycle, follicles weaken, leading to loss. To combat this, I found eight effective strategies: increase protein intake, massage the scalp, reduce stress, use Minoxidil, and consider supplements like zinc and biotin. Improving sleep, exercising, and trying red light therapy can also promote growth. I’ve had great results with a specific supplement stack. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting new protocols.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

4 out of 5 men over 35 suffer from hair loss. You’re probably next… And no — “quality” shampoo or magic brushes won’t save you. Here’s how to actually prevent it and regrow your hair naturally (backed by science) 🧵:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Before we start, hair grows in 4 phases: →Anagen (Growth phase): Hair actively grows. This phase can last 3–7 years. →Catagen (Transition phase): Growth stops. Follicles shrink. Lasts about 2–3 weeks. →Telogen (Resting phase): Hair stays in place but isn’t growing. Lasts around 3 months. →Exogen (Shedding phase): Old hair falls out. New hair should start growing in its place.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

After the cycle, hair follicles start to weaken causing hair loss. Lucky for you, I’ve found 8 ways to reverse this: http://1.Eat more protein (& cut the junk).

Video Transcript AI Summary
Three everyday habits can trigger hair loss: ultra-processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and stress. Processed foods can lead to dandruff, stopping hair growth and regrowth, and can promote obesity and insulin resistance, both of which can promote hair loss. Too many refined carbohydrates can be problematic, but being too low carb for too long can also lead to hair loss and hair thinning because of low thyroid functioning. Reducing stress and getting enough sleep is one of the best ways to ensure that your hair doesn't fall out. Minimizing these factors can stop hair thinning.

Speaker 0: Avoid these three hair loss triggers. These three everyday habits are destroying your hair, and they could be triggering your hair loss. Luckily, they're all easily avoidable. Number one, ultra processed foods. Processed foods can lead dandruff production, which stops hair growth and regrowth. Cutting out processed foods will also protect against obesity and insulin resistance, both of which can promote hair loss. Number two, refined carbohydrates. Keeping a diet of balanced carbohydrates will keep your thyroid healthy. Especially too many refined carbohydrates can be problematic in terms of hair loss. But being too low carb for too long can also lead to hair loss and hair thinning because of low thyroid functioning. Number three is stress. I'm pretty sure everyone has experienced some hair loss from being too stressed out. Reducing stress and making sure you get enough sleep is one of the best ways to ensure that your hair doesn't fall out. By removing these factors from your life or minimizing them, you can stop hair thinning and make sure that you don't fall out.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Hair is composed of keratin. Insufficient protein intake weakens hair cells, leading to shedding. Rich protein sources are: • Eggs • Fish • Lentils • Red meat *Avoid junk food — it blocks absorption, spikes inflammation & starves your follicles*

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

2. Scalp Massaging Increases blood flow and delivers oxygen to hair follicles. This helps stimulate growth and slow hair loss. Do it right: • 10–20 mins daily • Use rosemary oil (matched 2% minoxidil in studies) What they found will shock you:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

3. Reduce Stress Chronic stress pushes hair into the telogen (shedding) phase (known as telogen effluvium) One study found over 70% of growing hairs (anagen) shifted into shedding. Lower cortisol = less shedding and faster regrowth:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

4. Use Minoxidil Minoxidil (aka Rogaine) allows more blood flow to the scalp through vasodilation. It extends the anagen phase, slowing the rates of hair loss. See for yourself:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Restricted blood flow is a core element of most types of hair loss. When blood flow is restricted, the body cannot flush out normal cellular waste and inflammatory products. This waste initiates inflammatory cascades and builds up over time. Minoxidil increases blood flow, which helps to flush out these elements. The core method of action of minoxidil is to increase blood flow in the scalp, which helps to remove the buildup of DHT and other waste products.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Core method of action is to increase blood flow in the scalp, which think of it kind of like a clogged pipe. Okay. Right? So as DHT builds up, blood flow is already so restricted blood flow is a core element of essentially any type of hair loss with a few exceptions. So when you have restricted blood flow, all the normal cellular waste, inflammatory products that are building up, your body has processes for flushing them, getting rid of them. But if you don't have enough blood flow, if the pipes are clogged, you can't flush it out. Doesn't matter. Right. So it's just gonna sit there, and it's just over time slowly gonna you have a little bit of flow, so it's not overnight. But over time, all that cellular waste, which now initiates other inflammatory cascades, just builds up and builds up and builds up. Now you'll be losing hair left and right. Okay. So minoxidil, increasing blood flow, is helping to flush those elements out. Okay.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

5. Supplementation Hair is a living organism (it craves nutrients) • Zinc → supports hair growth and repair • Biotin → helps your body make keratin • Omega-3s → lower inflammation & feed your follicles • Vitamins C, D, E → protect, repair, and boost growth And here’s why you should put the most attention on Vitamin D3:

Video Transcript AI Summary
For men in a certain age bracket experiencing hair loss, it's important to note where the hair is thinning. While many notice loss on top, density loss on the sides is often overlooked. Low vitamin D3 levels, around thirty nanograms per milliliter, are common in this age group and can lead to increased DHT. This increase can cause shedding across the entire scalp and slightly impair the immune system.
AI Similar Videos
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You are in this age bracket and you are a male. So first and foremost, when you are looking at your situation, are you losing hair again from the top, from the sides, from the back? Most men in this bracket are losing hair from top, but what they don't notice is they're also losing a little bit of density from the side. When your vitamin D three drops below about thirty nanograms per milliliter, which is very average for this age group, then you end up seeing an increase in DHT. You have an increase also in shedding along the entire scalp and basically that impairs your immune system slightly.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

If you want to take it a step further, make sure to check out stacks like: • MSM + Collagen → strengthens follicles • Silica + Bamboo → boosts strand thickness • L-Carnitine + Ginseng → improves scalp blood flow • Ashwagandha + Rhodiola → reduces stress-related shedding But out of everything I’ve tried, this one’s my favorite:

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

After years of digging and testing… I found this stack — with Fo-Ti, Collagen, Pumpkin Seed Oil & Saw Palmetto to support stronger, thicker hair. Been a total game changer for me: https://lvnta.com/lv_utuIMWNXbgIeE6VOkp

6. Improve Sleep Quality Hair grows during deep sleep. While you’re in REM sleep, your body boosts IGF-1, a hormone that helps regenerate hair follicles. Here’s how to support IGF-1 naturally: • Stick to a consistent bedtime • Avoid eating 2 hours before sleep https://t.co/FV7TKxvSAG

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

7. Exercise Training supports hair growth in multiple ways: • Balances DHT and other hormones • Boosts blood flow to the scalp • Lowers cortisol (stress hormone) Consistent movement = stronger, healthier follicles. https://t.co/x5eaubiXsM

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

8. Try Red Light Therapy Here’s what it does: • Increases blood flow to the scalp • Boosts ATP → energizes hair follicle cells • Extends the anagen (growth) phase • Reduces inflammation that blocks growth I doubted it at first, but the results shut me up: https://t.co/BcGZbRy4gb

Video Transcript AI Summary
Micro-inflammations on the scalp, such as from sun exposure, can negatively impact hair. Red light therapy can help hair loss by improving mitochondrial health. Combining red light therapy with GHK-CU dramatically enhances results. Research indicates that GHK-CU regenerates various things, including wound healing and sunburns. Using GHK-CU and red light together creates a combined effect greater than either one alone; they amplify each other synergistically.

Meet Yvonne Burkart. She’s a PhD Toxicologist exposing how everyday products are slowly poisoning your body. The worst part? There’s a 95% chance they’re in your home right now. Here’s how they silently destroy your health (read this before it’s too late): 🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

1. Tap Water It contains chemicals like: • Endocrine disruptors • Heavy metals • Fluoride Solving it takes less effort than you’d think:

Video Transcript AI Summary
You should filter your water, especially if you live in an area where water is fluoridated. Check your municipality's water report or the Environmental Working Group (EWG) database by entering your ZIP code to see what contaminants are found and which exceed safe limits. The effectiveness of plastic water filter systems depends on the filter type. Some lower-end options don't remove fluoride or enough chemicals. Tap water can contain hormones, endocrine disruptors, pesticides, heavy metals, fluoride, and agricultural runoff, varying by location. There have been instances of high lead levels due to lead piping. It's important to be careful with water used for drinking and cooking.

Speaker 0: Should I be filtering my water? Speaker 1: Absolutely. Absolutely. If you live in an area where water has been fluoridated Speaker 0: How do I know? Speaker 1: You've got to check the water report. Most municipalities have water reports. And if not, you can go to the EWG, the Environmental Working Group. They have a water report database that you can check. So just type in your ZIP code of where you live, and it'll tell you what contaminants are found and which ones exceed safe limits. And it's very helpful to know. Speaker 0: What if I get these kind of like, you know, these little plastic water filter systems you can get where you put it in the fridge, you pour the water in, and then you put like a little filter thing in, you replace it, and then you pour it in. Are those good? Speaker 1: It depends on what type of filter you have. Some of the more mainstream, lower cost, lower end options do not remove fluoride, number one, and they don't filter nearly enough chemicals. Tap water is a source of hormones, so endocrine disruptors, pesticides, heavy metals, fluoride, if it's added to the water, agricultural runoff. There's a bunch of different contaminants in tap water, depending on where you live. Some are worse than others. And there have even been tragic instances of lead, high levels of lead, because of the lead piping that water is transported through. So we've got to be careful with the water that we're using to drink and cook with.

2. Candles They release human carcinogens like: • Toluene • Benzene Here’s how they harm you (without even noticing):

Video Transcript AI Summary
Burning candles releases toluene, benzene, and other toxic chemicals known to be human carcinogens into the air. Conventional candles with synthetic dyes, petroleum-based wax, and undisclosed fragrances release hazardous ultrafine particulate matter. These chemicals attach to house dust and deposit on surfaces. Babies crawling and putting things in their mouths inhale and ingest these particles, but they cannot detoxify them like adults. These early life exposures can have lifelong consequences.

Speaker 0: Never burn candles in your home. Why not? When you light a candle, you're not just liberating fragrance chemicals, but there also is toluene, benzene, and other toxic chemicals that are known to be human carcinogens through the route of inhalation being released into the air. We don't necessarily need need candles anymore, but people use them for religious reasons. There's many reasons to use candles. But when you are using a conventional candle with synthetic dyes, petroleum based wax, and synthetic undisclosed fragrance in particular, you're releasing particulate matter, ultrafine particulate matter, which is the most hazardous type. So we really need to be careful, especially if you have kids. These chemicals are not just staying in the air, they attach to house dust and deposit on the surfaces of your home. So if you have a baby that's crawling around on the floor, putting things in his or her mouth, they're inhaling all of this and ingesting all of these particles. They cannot detoxify the way that adults can. Their bodies are developing, and these early life exposures have lifelong consequences.

3. Deodorants Yvonne says most contain carcinogenic chemicals. Use this alternative to reduce chemical exposure:

Video Transcript AI Summary
To check for phthalates in deodorant, look for "fragrance/parfum" on the ingredients list. Even if it says "phthalate-free," fragrance can contain carcinogens and allergens, which can be harmful, especially for those with respiratory or skin problems. Consider safer alternatives to fragrance, such as essential oils derived from plants. Aerosol sprays are among the worst products to use because they contain propellants derived from petroleum. Thousands of products were recalled due to benzene contamination in propellants. Benzene is a known human carcinogen that you do not want to inhale because it quickly enters the bloodstream and spreads throughout the body.

Speaker 0: This is one of the deodorants that I often use. Does this have phthalates in it? How do I know? Speaker 1: Turn the container around and check the ingredients list. Do you see a word fragrance slash parfum? Yeah. That's what you're looking for. Speaker 0: Okay. So I shouldn't be spraying this all over my body? Speaker 1: Right. Sometimes you'll see on there, it'll say phthalate free. That's helpful. But that still doesn't take away the fact that there are known carcinogens and allergens in there. So if you've got any kind of respiratory problems, any kind of skin problems, and you just don't want to expose yourself to unnecessary carcinogens, then it would be beneficial to avoid fragrance. Speaker 0: What about a little spray? Speaker 1: I mean, it depends. Is that really going to benefit you? Is are you gonna get any effect from that little spray? Speaker 0: I don't wanna smell. Speaker 1: Well, the question would be, can you find a safer alternative? And the answer is yes. Avoid the word fragrance unless it says that the fragrance comes from essential oils because that's where aromatic compounds come from. They come from plants. But just to give you more context on this aerosol spray, this is one of the worst products that you can use. Aerosols use propellants. Propellants are derived from petroleum. And there was a recall on thousands of products within the last couple of years that the propellants were a source of benzene contamination. Benzene is a known human carcinogen that you do not want to be inhaling because what you inhale goes to your brain, it goes quickly all over your body through the bloodstream. You don't want to be delivering a known human carcinogen into your bloodstream. You're just not helping you at all.

Video Transcript AI Summary
If ingredient labels were accurate, sunscreen could warn of neurotoxicity issues like dizziness, seizures, depression, migraine, headache, and insomnia, and endocrine disruption, including reproductive and sexual abnormalities with long-term use, due to undisclosed fragrance chemicals and phthalates. Sunscreen labels could also state an increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and allergic contact dermatitis, including skin irritation, redness, and tightness, with ingredients like Octisalate and Octocrylene. Daily moisturizing lotion labels could warn of an increased risk of breast cancer and endocrine disruption, such as early puberty, decreased sperm count, and impaired mental development, with ingredients like parabens, such as methyl and propylparaben. Extra caution should be taken with leave-on products.

5. Teflon Pans They might save time cooking — but if they shorten your lifespan, are you really saving time? Here’s why you should use them less:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Teflon, used in nonstick cookware, can transfer into food during normal cooking. High heat can vaporize the coating, potentially causing Teflon flu upon inhalation, but the effects of chronic low doses are less known. Scratches, even microscopic ones, can release thousands or billions of particles into food. PFAS, found in nonstick coatings, are linked to kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disorders, increased risk of miscarriage, preterm labor/birth, and high blood pressure during pregnancy, as well as increased obesity. Alternatives to nonstick cookware include cast iron, stainless steel, glass, and ceramic cookware.

Speaker 0: Nonstick cookware is amazing. I mean, you can make food slide off, clean up is a breeze, but at what cost? You might be saving time when you're cooking, but how much of that time is being taken off the back end of your lifespan? Teflon is used to create the nonstick coating, and it is believed that because it is so chemically stable that it wouldn't come off the pan into your food, but that's not true. There's evidence showing that there is transfer from the cookware in normal cooking conditions into food. When you heat that pan high enough, it will vaporize and get into the air. If you inhale it, you run the risk of experiencing what's known as Teflon flu. And so that would be considered an acute exposure. But what we really need information on are the chronic low doses that we're getting just by cooking our daily eggs on there. It scratches very easily. Yeah. And some of these scratches are microscopic and invisible to the naked eye. Studies have found that a surface scratch can release 9,000 particles from that nonstick coating into your food. If it's a crack, that number jumps up to 2,300,000,000 particles that are transferred into your food. PFAS are linked with kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disorders, which increase risk of miscarriage, preterm labor, preterm birth, high blood pressure during pregnancy, increased obesity, get rid of the nonstick chemicals altogether. And that would be something as simple as cast iron, stainless steel, glass cookware, ceramic cookware. Speaker 1: It's time to take control of your health.

6. Sunscreen Summer’s in 49 days. We all need sun protection — but most sunscreens use toxic UV filters like: • Oxybenzone • Octinoxate • Avobenzone Here’s how they silently harm your health:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Chemical filters in sunscreen, like oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate, have raised concerns due to potential toxic effects. Studies suggest oxybenzone, an endocrine disruptor, can interfere with hormone systems, potentially leading to reproductive issues, hormone imbalances, and cancer. The EU Scientific Committee for Consumer Safety has outlined health issues linked to these UV filters. These chemicals may not completely wash off, absorbing into the bloodstream and accumulating over time. Evidence suggests widespread exposure, with 97% of people having oxybenzone in their urine. Given the recommendation for daily, liberal, and frequent sunscreen application, even for children as young as six months, there are concerns about toxicant exposure, especially since children are particularly sensitive to toxic injury. It's important to make informed choices to protect our health.

Speaker 0: Chemical filters such as oxybenzone, avobenzone, and octinoxate have been used widely in sunscreen for many, many years. However, recent studies have raised concerns about their potential toxic effects. Research suggests that benzophenone three or oxybenzone, a commonly used sunscreen ingredient and endocrine disruptor, can interfere with our hormone systems. This type of disruption has been linked to reproductive issues, hormone imbalances, and even cancer. In fact, the European Union Scientific Committee for Consumer Safety has even published several documents mentioning and outlining the health issues with these common UV chemical filters. And the worst part is that these chemicals aren't completely washing off when we swim or sweat. They're getting into our bodies, absorbing into our bloodstream, accumulating over time, and potentially causing long term damage. There's also evidence that they're accumulating in the environment, and up to ninety seven percent of people have oxybenzone in their urine, meaning that it is definitely in their body. Not to mention, sunscreen is recommended to be applied daily, liberally, and multiple times per day. It's even recommended for children six months and up to start using sunscreen. The problem is that children are extraordinarily sensitive to toxic injury, especially at such a young age. Sun protection should not come with a dose of toxicants, which are negating some of the benefits and potentially, like I said, causing long term damage. It's time to take control of our health and make more informed choices.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The solution? Use sunscreen with natural ingredients like zinc oxide. A clean formula with no chemical UV filters and real protection from the sun. Here’s the huge difference it makes compared to the common ones:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Choose mineral sunscreens with non-nano zinc oxide as the only active ingredient. Zinc oxide is a physical UV blocker that reflects UVA and UVB rays, unlike chemical filters that absorb them. It is photostable, non-irritating, and considered one of the safest sunscreen actives. The sunscreen must be labeled as non-nano, ensuring the particles stay on the skin's surface. Studies show that nano zinc oxide crosses the skin barrier.

Speaker 0: Number one, choose mineral sunscreens with non nano zinc oxide as the only active ingredient. Zinc oxide is a physical UV blocker that sits on the surface of the skin and reflects UVA and UVB rays. It doesn't absorb them unlike chemical filters do. It's photo stable, it's non irritating, and pretty much widely considered as one of the safest sunscreen actives. Just make sure that it is labeled as non nano, which means the particles will not get absorbed into your skin, and they'll actually stay on your skin's surface. And this is really important because studies show that nano zinc oxide crosses the skin barrier.

7. Microwave & Microplastics In just seconds, billions of microplastics leak into your food. But that’s not even the worst part…

Video Transcript AI Summary
Do not microwave plastic containers, as even a few seconds can release billions of microplastic particles into your food from a small area. Microplastics are solid and do not break down in the body. Even if a container is BPA-free, it is still plastic and will release microplastics and nanoplastics. The plastic may also contain phthalates, depending on the type.

Speaker 0: Do not microwave plastic containers. Even after just a few seconds, you'll get release of billions of microplastic particles into your food. Speaker 1: What about this? Nice plastic container. Super convenient. Put my lunch in it. Go to work. Maybe pop it in the microwave, heat it up, get my takeaway in a plastic container. Good? Speaker 0: Absolutely not. Do not microwave plastic containers. Even after just a few seconds, you'll get release of billions of microplastic particles into your food. Just from a tiny square centimeter, you'll get billions of microplastic particles. And with microplastics, they're hard. It's a solid mass. It does not break down in the body. Speaker 1: What if it says BPA free? Speaker 0: That's great, but it's still plastic. It's still microplastic. It's still nanoplastic releasing. And it probably has phthalates in it depending on the type of plastic.

8. Don’t drink hot coffee in plastic cups. Over 25,000 microplastic particles leach into your coffee — in just 15 minutes. What happens next is truly terrifying:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Starbucks-style paper cups have a polyethylene plastic barrier so they don't absorb water. A study found that hot liquids in the cups leach 25,000 microplastic particles in 15 minutes. These microplastics break down into nanoplastics, which can penetrate cell membranes, causing inflammation as the body recognizes them as foreign objects. The cups also release plasticizer chemicals and can carry toxic chemicals into the body. Microplastics have been detected in human lung, blood, and placenta. The speaker speculates that babies are likely being born with plastic in their bodies.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Shared about the plastic cups that you get your coffee in at Starbucks. Let's talk about those. A paper cup by nature should absorb water. If it's not absorbing water, then that means there must be a barrier in between the paper and the liquid, and that barrier is polyethylene plastic. A study found that in fifteen minutes of contact with hot liquids, leach 25,000 microplastic particles into your cup. In fact, it'll break down into nanoplastics, and nanoparticles in general have the issue of being able to penetrate cell membranes. So it can penetrate very deeply into the cell. It can cause inflammation. Your body doesn't know how to deal with it. It's a foreign object, so you'll get the inflammatory response. They also release plasticizer chemicals when they're in contact with your body, and they can also carry toxic chemicals into your body. There's actually microplastics that have been detected in human, lung, blood, and placenta. And who knows how much of this is getting into babies? Are babies being born with plastic in their bodies? I would guesstimate yes.

Big Pharma hates this woman: Barbara O’Neill. She healed a torn tendon without surgery — and helped millions with her natural methods. Here are her top 8 to prevent cancer, inflammation, and strengthen your immune system:🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

1. Turmeric miracle Barbara tore her supraspinatus tendon, and there were no available spots for surgery. What did she do? She healed it without surgery — just by using turmeric:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Curcumin is considered one of the most potent anti-inflammatories in the plant kingdom and can play a role in healing. The speaker tore their supraspinatus tendon with a one-centimeter retraction and experienced a lot of pain, taking 8,000 milligrams of curcumin a day and applying comfrey poultices. The speaker healed the torn supraspinatus without surgery, despite being told it would not heal. An orthopedic surgeon confirmed the healing via MRI. The speaker, not being in health insurance and focusing on prevention, discovered the healing ten months later.

Speaker 0: Curcumin, I think it's one of the most potent anti inflammatory that we have in the plant kingdom and I think it certainly can play a role. I know when I tore my supraspinatus tendon totally with a one centimeter retraction, I had a lot of pain and I was taking eight thousand milligrams a day. So that's a very high dose of curcumin and applying comfrey poultices. Do you know I totally healed my torn supraspinatus with a one centimetre attraction. In fact, the orthopaedic surgeon, when I had an MRI, because I thought, I don't know what's going on here. So you did not have surgery? No. And it healed? He said, That will not heal. Yeah, that's the common knowledge. And because I'm not in health insurance, because I never get sick, I put all my attention into prevention. They contacted me ten months later and they said, Oh, we've got a spot. I said, Oh, it's healed. How didn't I know it's healed? It worked. Interesting. So you're a fan of curcumin.

Speaker 0: We had one lady and she said, I've got this swollen finger. The joint was swollen twice the size. She said, This has been paining me for two years. So he made a tiny little ginger poultice, put it over, put a little bit of plastic over it to insulate and then taped it on. This is called a paper tape. This is a really soft tape on the skin. In the morning, she was so excited that the joint had gone right down and she could move her finger. That was just one night. Sometimes it takes more than one night. But that ginger is excellent for joints. Remember gout, arthritis.

Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker eats a high-fiber diet with generous proteins, including legumes at most meals. They consume fats like olive oil, nuts, and seeds with each meal. Breakfast typically consists of two or three pieces of fruit, sourdough spelt toast with olive oil and avocado, lentils or black-eyed beans, scrambled organic tofu, and nuts and seeds. Lunch is usually a large salad with baked, steamed, or stir-fried vegetables and a legume dish. If the speaker eats at night, it's a light meal such as avocado and crackers or soup.

Speaker 0: I eat a high fiber diet. I eat generous proteins. I have legumes. In fact, some days I have them every meal. That's my two main meals. And I have fats. I might have a teaspoon of olive oil a meal. I might have a few nuts and seeds after every meal. So my fruit meal is usually breakfast, where I might have two or three pieces of fruit. Usually the sourdough spelt toast with a little olive oil and avocado and either red lentils or brown lentils or black eyed beans or scrambled organic tofu. That's and some nuts and seeds. That's my breakfast. Lunch is usually always a big salad, always some baked steamed or stir fried veggies, and again a legume dish. If I do eat at night, it will be very light. It might be avocado and a few crackers. It might be soup. So something very light.

4. Fight Cancer Barbara’s 3-step protocol to reduce cancer risk is so simple, you’ll wish you had started sooner... Pay close attention:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Cancer supposedly hates when you stop sugar/glucose, create an alkaline environment, and introduce oxygen. While cancer treatment approaches vary, these three elements are common denominators among doctors and naturopaths. Cells use glucose for energy. Glucose enters a 20-step pathway, yielding two energy units and producing pyruvate (p). Pyruvate then enters an eight-step pathway, the cell's powerhouse, which produces 36 energy units. The key difference between the two pathways is that the eight-step pathway uses oxygen, while the 20-step pathway doesn't. The 20-step pathway is also very fast and consumes a lot of glucose.

Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Does cancer hate? Cancer hates it when you stop the sugar or stop all glucose. Cancer is not happy when you create an alkaline environment in the body, and cancer hates oxygen. I have many books on doctors, specialists, naturopaths worldwide who are conquering cancer. And when I read them, there are differences. There are slight differences. Some do IV vitamin C. Some do apricot kernel seeds. But there's three common denominators. Let me show you why cancer cells love glucose. Here's the cell, the central business district of the human body. The glucose goes in. It goes through a 20 step pathway, and this 20 step pathway gives us two units of energy. The end result of the 20 step pathway is a chemical form of glucose called pyruvate. We'll just call it the p. It's the chemical form of glucose that gets fed into the eight step pathway. This eight step pathway is called the powerhouse of the cell for good reason. It delivers 36 units of energy. Woah. What makes the difference? It's oxygen. This is the pathway that uses oxygen. This pathway uses no oxygen. This 20 step pathway is also a very fast pathway. So it's consuming a lot of glucose. Basically, this is a can

Speaker 0: When you're healing an irritated gut, this is what you've got to do. Number one, stop all the irritants. What are the irritants? Wheat, dairy, in fact all the things he was having. Refined sugar, alcohol, All of these foods are like kerosene to a fire to an irritated gut. Number two: probiotic. Probiotic is for life and that cortisone that he was on, can break down that gut flora. The very thing he was taking to supposedly heal him, it wasn't at all. All it does is stop the gut being inflamed. And on all that medication he's going six times a day. And number three, there is a herb called slippery elm and slippery elm coats, soothes and heals the lining of the gut.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Probiotics help balance the gut microbiome — the ecosystem of bacteria that controls: • Skin health • Immunity • Digestion • Mood When this balance is off, YOU FEEL IT EVERYWHERE:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidus bacterium are the two permanent bacteria in the gut, from which all others are made, so probiotics do not need trillions of types. A vegetarian probiotic containing 5 billion acidophilus and 5 billion bifidum in a quarter of a teaspoon is a strong dose. Besides probiotics, water kefirs, coconut milk or soy milk kefirs, sauerkraut, sourdough breads, and miso can be incorporated into the diet. A large dose probiotic is recommended for at least a couple of months for those who have been on antibiotics.

Speaker 0: There is a lot of probiotics on the market and some of them say we have 50,000,000,000,000, oh no, we have 60,000,000,000,000 and billion, whatever. Lactobacillus acidophilus are the two permanent bacterias in the gut and from those two, all the others are made. So you don't have to get one that's got trillions of different types. But what I would go for is a vegetarian one. Now we have one, and it's basically just lactobacillus acidophilus bifidus bacterium, 5,000,000,000 acidophilus, 5,000,000,000 acidophilus, sorry I did that one, and five billion bifidum in a quarter of a teaspoon, so it's a nice strong dose. So you really just have to and I know you can't get that, but it's just an illustration of the one I use, it's from a vegetarian source. And you can do water kefirs, you can do coconut milk or soy milk kefirs, you can do incorporate sauerkraut, incorporate the sourdough breads, incorporate miso. But if you really want to boost it, if someone's been on antibiotics, should go on large dose probiotic for at least a couple of months. Doesn't take that long to bring it back.

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

Probiotic supplements give your gut good bacteria. However, many probiotics on the market are fake, weak, or completely useless. That’s why I chose these probiotics (backed by 120,000+ reviews). Try them — your gut will thank you: https://lvnta.com/lv_vtwn8cz81QOknfsLE7

8. Garlic as an Antibiotic One of the most powerful spices on Earth. But there's a twist: To get all the benefits, you need to consume it in a specific way... Luckily, Barbara has shared this secret:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Garlic is a powerful antibiotic, and to use it as such, one should take four cloves a day. A "flu bomb" can be made by combining the following in half a cup of hot water: the juice of one lemon, one crushed clove of garlic, half a teaspoon of grated ginger, and a quarter of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. This concoction is drunk without chewing the ginger or garlic. It can bring relief for about four hours for respiratory problems ranging from pneumonia and bronchitis to asthma, the flu, and sinus issues. It is suggested to have three or four "flu bombs" a day for such complaints.

Speaker 0: Garlic is a very powerful antibiotic, but if you want to use it as an antibiotic, you should take four cloves a day. That's quite strong. Here's a clove of garlic, and how you can take it when a person's got a bad cold is as a flu bomb. I'm going to write the recipe for flu bomb up here. When you taste it, it'll seem like you've just drunk her bomb. All of these things are put in half a cup of hot water, and then you drink it. You don't have to chew up the ginger and the garlic, you just throw it down. If a person's got anything from pneumonia to bronchitis to asthma to the flu to sinus problems, any respiratory problems, that will bring relief, and it usually brings relief for about four hours. My suggestion is if you have such a complaint that you have three or four a day.

BIG PHARMA seems to want Berberine to disappear, but it’s a clinically proven supplement that enhances blood sugar control, heart health, and fat loss, often compared to Metformin without the side effects. Used in China for over 3,000 years, it supports fat loss by activating AMPK, balances blood sugar, improves skin health by reducing inflammation, boosts longevity, enhances gut health, and lowers cholesterol. However, it's crucial to choose high-quality Berberine. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting any new supplements.

BIG PHARMA wants Berberine vanished. It’s a clinically proven supplement that improves blood sugar, boosts heart health, and supports fat loss. It’s compared to metformin (without the side effects) Here’s the science behind it: 🧵

@LxngevityLab - LongevityLab

The Chinese used Berberine 3,000 years ago to treat infections and digestive issues. Now, it’s considered the best natural remedy for regulating: • Blood sugar • Insulin levels • Fat accumulation But how does it actually work?

1. Supports fat loss Berberine doesn’t “burn fat” like other stimulants. Instead, it activates AMPK, prompting your cells to burn stored fat for energy. And the best part: You lose weight without starving yourself or wrecking your hormones:

Video Transcript AI Summary
Berberine, derived from tree bark, can mitigate the effects of overeating. It affects the AMPK and mTOR pathways, similar to metformin. Before accessing metformin, Speaker 1 used berberine and has studied its effects in their lab. Berberine boosts energetics, like AMPK and metformin, and has shown health benefits in rats and mice on high-fat diets. Clinical trials suggest it increases insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for sequestering blood sugar into cells and combating type 2 diabetes. Berberine has demonstrated positive metabolic effects in animals and has been tested in human clinical trials. It has also been shown to be safe in humans. High doses are required to achieve these effects.

Speaker 0: Berberine is a substance that comes from tree bark, but I also learned about many years ago from Ori. He said, if ever I'm going to overeat, like, a Thanksgiving meal or something, I take berberine. And I tried it. And what's remarkable about berberine is that, you can eat enormous quantities of food and not feel as if you've eaten enormous quantities of food. I'm not necessarily recommending people do this. Berberine, which my understanding is it works very similarly to to metformin, works on the AMPK pathway and the mTOR pathway, etcetera. What are your thoughts on berberine as an alternative to metformin, and are there any cautionary notes? I mean, obviously, people should talk to their doctor before adding or subtracting anything from their life. With all that set aside, what are your thoughts about berberine and timing of of low blood sugar? Speaker 1: Well, before I had access to metformin, I was taking berberine. The thing with berberine, we've studied it in my lab. It it is effective at boosting energetics in the body just like AMPK and metformin does. And we've actually given to rats and mice and seen that they are very healthy, especially on a high fat diet. There are some human studies that exist, clinical trials showing that it increases insulin sensitivity. You have to take high doses. Speaker 0: Which is a good thing, right? Yeah. I think when people hear insulin sensitivity, sometimes people think, well, that that's bad. Right? No. But you want your cells to be insulin sensitive. You don't want a lot of blood sugar floating around that can't be sequestered into cells. Exactly. Speaker 1: So this is anti type two diabetes. And so that this berberine, does have wonderful effects on the metabolism of animals and in some clinical trials on dozens of people it's been tested. Berberine has been shown to be really safe in humans.
