I want to emphasize the importance of heart health, which often goes unnoticed. To achieve a stronger heart, I focus on several key areas: mastering blood sugar by cutting ultra-processed carbs, healing my gut for better nutrient absorption, and staying active with daily movement. Prioritizing sleep is crucial, as is managing stress through various techniques. I fuel my body with nutrient-dense foods, stay hydrated, and support my heart with essential supplements. These practices can significantly enhance heart health and overall well-being.

The most dangerous ingredient for your heart is not high cholesterol, not saturated fat, and definitely not salt.
The worst ingredient for your heart is refined sugars and refined starch.
These refined sugars and starches deplete your body of magnesium, vitamin b one, vitamin e, and zinc.
We then start dealing with high blood pressure, plaqueing in the arteries because of inflammation, and high blood fats called triglycerides.
All of this can be avoided if you just avoid refined sugars and refined starches.

3. Heal your gut, protect your heart Your gut and heart are deeply connected. Poor gut = poor nutrient absorption = increased heart risk. Read Super Gut by Dr. William Davis. https://t.co/7zg04h2IIO
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker states that the gut and the heart are connected, and that soluble fiber plays a major role in this link by improving LDL cholesterol, supporting blood pressure, and reducing inflammation. Soluble fiber can be found in foods such as oats, beans, ground flax, and apples. If you’re not getting enough, a prebiotic fiber supplement is recommended. This perspective emphasizes diet's role in cardiovascular and inflammatory processes and highlights practical options for increasing fiber intake, including oats, beans, ground flax, and apples, and the option of a prebiotic fiber supplement if needed. The message ends with a call to follow for more gut health tips.

Walking strengthens the heart because "your heart's actually a muscle." When you walk or jog, your heart rate goes up, exercising your heart muscle so it gets stronger. As the heart contracts harder over time, you don't have to beat as fast because you're getting more blood out to your body with each contraction of your heart because it's a stronger muscle now. So people who run or walk a lot, their heart rates become lower, because their heart is becoming stronger. Even a simple walk is really strengthening your heart, lowering your heart rate, which helps your heart live longer and helps you live longer. So get out there and walk because it's good for your heart and it's good for your body.

Speaker 0: Do you know why walking is good for your heart? Because your heart's actually a muscle. And so what happens when you're out walking, your heart rate goes up, or if you're jogging. And so that increased heart rate, it's it's exercising your heart muscle, and so your muscle gets stronger. And as your muscle gets stronger, it can contract harder.
And as your heart contracts harder over time, what happens is you don't have to your heart doesn't have to beat as fast because you're getting more blood out to your body with each contraction of your heart because it's a stronger muscle now. And so that's why people who run or walk a lot, their heart rates become lower, because their heart is becoming stronger. And so just going out for a simple walk, you don't think it's doing much, but it's really strengthening your heart, lowering your heart rate, which helps your heart live longer and helps you live longer. So get out there and walk because it's good for your heart and it's good for your body.

Omega-three fatty acids: an incredible anti inflammatory that can lower triglycerides, regulate blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. Magnesium, the most common electrolyte deficiency, helps regulate muscle function, improving blood pressure and heart rhythm, reducing cardiovascular events. Coenzyme ten, a powerful antioxidant essential for heart muscle, reduces oxidative stress, increases blood flow, and decreases the risk of heart disease. These are supplements, not substitutions for a healthy lifestyle, whole foods, a well-rounded diet, maintaining a healthy weight, and not smoking.

Speaker 0: If I could only keep three supplements as a cardiac surgeon for heart health, here's what they would be. The first one is omega-three fatty acids. This is an incredible anti inflammatory which can lower triglycerides, help regulate blood pressure, and decrease the risk of heart disease. Number two is magnesium, which interestingly is the most common deficiency that we see as far as electrolytes are concerned. This helps regulate muscle function so you can see a direct improvement in blood pressure, heart rhythm, which also decreases the risk of cardiovascular events.
Number three is coenzyme ten, which is a very powerful antioxidant and it's essential for muscle cell and heart muscle in particular for it to work properly. What happens is it reduces the oxidative stress which increases the blood flow in the vessels and decreases your risk of heart disease. Now remember, these are supplements. They're not instead of living a healthy lifestyle, eating a whole foods, well rounded diet, and maintaining an appropriate weight and not smoking. So please utilize these as supplements, not as substitutions.

I believe that high performers often focus on the wrong KPIs, prioritizing revenue and profit over health. This oversight can lead to burnout and premature aging. I emphasize tracking critical health metrics, including cardiovascular health, hormone balance, strength, fitness, sleep quality, and stress management. Our bodies are the true operating systems for our success. By monitoring these health indicators, we can enhance our energy, focus, and overall performance, transforming our careers into sustainable journeys rather than exhausting sprints.

First symptom is frequent urination at night. You have to get up several times a night, which really is going to mess up your sleep. Completely unnecessary if you know what to do to reverse insulin resistance.
Number two, frequent hunger, a need for a snack between meals and at night.
Number three, the need for a nap after eating, especially after lunch.
Number four, not satisfied after eating. You might be stuffed, but there's something missing because when you have insulin resistance, the cells can't pull in nutrition. So the cells are literally starving of nutrients. Yet you just ate a big meal.
Number five, you crave carbohydrates. In the form of breads, pasta, cereal crackers, biscuits, waffles, pancakes, muffins.
Number six, you have low endurance when you exercise and you're tired.

Well, hormones are like miracle grow for the brain. And when thyroid is low, for example, you're tired, you're sad. When it's high, you can be anxious and feeling wired. When testosterone is low, yes, it's involved in sexuality, but it's also involved in strength and mood and motivation and memory. When estrogen is low, you can often feel anxious and depressed, but when it's high, you can be way too bossy. I mean, bossy to the point where you ruin a relationship. When progesterone is low, you can be really anxious and have trouble sleeping. So I think, if you're struggling with your brain health, your mental health, you should have your hormones checked. And for women, it should be about day nineteen to twenty one of their menstrual cycle. That's really important.

3. Strength & Fitness You don’t need to look like a bodybuilder, but you do need strength and stamina. → VO₂ Max = your fitness age → Grip strength & mobility = long-term function → Body composition = lean muscle vs fat mass https://t.co/ewZd7UoLL5
Video Transcript AI Summary
We don't have a single metric of humans that we can measure that better predicts how long they will live than how high their VO2 max is. So if you compare somebody who is in the top two percent to someone who is in the bottom twenty five percent for their age, the difference in mortality is 5x. We normalize this by weight. So the number is actually reported as milliliters per kilogram per minute. So to be clear, if you take a 35 year old man and one of them has a VO2 max of 53 and the other one has a VO2 max of 35, there is a 400 difference in their all cause mortality over the coming year.

Speaker 0: We don't have a single metric of humans that we can measure that better predicts how long they will live than how high their VO2 max is. It's not even close, to be completely clear. So if you compare somebody who is in the top two percent to someone who is in the bottom twenty five percent for their age, the difference in mortality is 5x. Five hundred percent? Yes.
We normalize this by weight. So we always divide that number of liters per minute by how many kilograms you are. So the number is actually reported as milliliters per kilogram per minute. If we look at somebody who is your age, male, 30 to 39, if their VO2 max is below 35 milliliters per kilogram per minute, they are in the bottom 25%. Conversely, if they are at 53 milliliters per kilogram per minute, they are in the top two and a half percent.
So to be clear, if you take a 35 year old man and one of them has a VO2 max of 53 and the other one has a VO2 max of 35, there is a 400 difference in their all cause mortality over the coming year.

Speaker 0: Everybody wants to improve their health. Most people, especially young people, probably don't realize that they're walking around right now at about 55%, maybe 60% of their true state of normal. There is a nutrient, amino acid, a substrate, a compound, an element missing from their body that if they knew what it was, make the difference between them being an average person and being a superhuman. They have accepted something as either a consequence of aging or a consequence of stress or consequence of their environment, something like brain fog or repeated poor sleep or, weight gain or water retention or not the healthiest response to exercise or poor short term recall or any number of things that they've accepted as consequence of life, of aging, of stress, or what have you. This is not a consequence of any of those things.

Cardio isn't the best way to lose fat. If you're dealing with brain fog, low sex drive, and fatigue, these may signal poor metabolic health linked to body fat. To improve this by 2026, focus on your diet by eating whole foods and prioritizing protein without fearing healthy fats or carbs. Lift weights to build muscle, ensure quality sleep, take creatine, and address micronutrient deficiencies. Maintain a slight calorie deficit and increase protein intake. Walking can also help manage cravings and support fat loss. You don't need more cardio; you need to enhance muscle, sleep, and testosterone support.

Squats create significant mechanical tension and metabolic stress, which then signals your body to release hormones like testosterone that aid in repair and adaptability. So next time when you're at the gym, make sure you get those squats in.

You see creatine does three things to us. Helps us build muscle, helps us delay fatigue, and also helps with muscle endurance, meaning giving you the extra boost of hitting at least one to three reps during your workout. Well, so when you're cutting, you want to maximize as much muscle mass as possible on your frame. So not only wanna have you look the best after you're done cutting all that fat off, but also speed up your metabolism. So taking creatine on a cut actually comes full circle. If you're building muscle, fat is going to be lost faster because of your metabolism naturally speeding up, and you having more muscle mass on your friend. And you're probably thinking how much creatine should I be taking? Five grams a day? Yes. Even on your rest days, and doesn't matter when you take it as long as you don't forget.

Speaker 0: I should say if you're big as hell when you're trying to lose weight. You see creatine does three things to us. Helps us build muscle, helps us delay fatigue, and also helps with muscle endurance, meaning giving you the extra boost of hitting at least one to three reps during your workout. Well, so when you're cutting, you want to maximize as much muscle mass as possible on your frame. So not only wanna have you look the best after you're done cutting all that fat off, but also speed up your metabolism.
You see, the more muscle we have on our body, the easier our metabolism flows, meaning your bowel movements will be better, you'll burn more calories by doing nothing at rest, and you'll just overall feel better and have more energy. So taking creatine on a cut actually comes full circle. If you're building muscle, fat is going to be lost faster because of your metabolism naturally speeding up, and you having more muscle mass on your friend. And you're probably thinking how much creatine should I be taking? Five grams a day?
Yes. Even on your rest days, and doesn't matter when you take it as long as you don't forget.

6️⃣ Eat in a slight deficit. Don’t starve yourself. Just 250–300 calories below maintenance. This allows you to: → Burn fat → Keep strength → Maintain energy Use an online calculator to estimate maintenance. Then subtract. https://t.co/OiXfB300Ui
Video Transcript AI Summary
The first thing is your body burns a certain amount of calories each day, which is called your TDEE, your total daily energy expenditure. You can simply just type into Google, TDEE calculator. There's probably gonna be a few that come up. Pick one, enter your information, and get your TDEE. Then what you're gonna do, whatever number you get, subtract 250 to 500. This way, deficit means you're eating less calories than what your body burns. So if you subtract two fifty to 500 from this number, you will be in a calorie deficit. Just pick one, do it for four weeks with 90% consistency, and you'll know if it works or not. And it's probably better than what you're doing right now, which is probably nothing.

Speaker 0: Alright. This is a calorie deficit explained in less than sixty seconds. Stick around. The first thing is your body burns a certain amount of calories each day, which is called your TDEE, your total daily energy expenditure. How can you find this?
You can simply just type into Google, TDEE calculator. There's probably gonna be a few that come up. Pick one, enter your information, and get your TDEE. Then what you're gonna do, whatever number you get, subtract 250 to 500. This way, deficit means you're eating less calories than what your body burns.
So if you subtract two fifty to 500 from this number, you will be in a calorie deficit. Now I'm begging you. There's gonna be all these different numbers you could choose from. Just pick one, do it for four weeks with 90% consistency, and you'll know if it works or not. And it's probably better than what you're doing right now, which is probably nothing.
So stop trying to be perfect. Do what I said right here, and you'll see progress. Hope it help.

7️⃣ Eat more protein. This is the cheat code for burning fat and building muscle. Aim for: → 1g protein per lb bodyweight (180 lbs = 180g daily) Split across 3–5 meals to support protein synthesis all day. https://t.co/nJ0lbAkl5y
Video Transcript AI Summary
There are three reasons why protein is going to be your secret weapon for losing body fat. Number one, protein has the highest thermic effect of food, and all this means is your body has to burn more calories in order to digest protein. So if you eat more protein, your body burns more calories, which means your metabolism is going to be higher, which means it'll make it easier for you to lose fat. Number two, protein is the most satiating nutrient. What this means is it keeps you full list for the longest. So if you're more full, you'll be much less inclined to overeat. And number three, protein is the only macronutrient that helps you build and retain lean muscle mass. The more lean muscle mass you have on your body, the higher your metabolism is as well. And with all these things combined, plus a calorie deficit, of course, you got yourself a fat burning equation, my friend.

I’ve been struggling to sleep between 1–3 AM, and it turns out it might not just be insomnia. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, my liver could be the culprit. During this time, it detoxifies, and if it’s overwhelmed, I wake up feeling restless and anxious. Factors like processed foods, alcohol, and chronic stress can overload my liver. Signs it needs help include waking at night, hormonal issues, and fatigue. To support liver detox, I can try lemon water, cruciferous veggies, and avoid food before bed. It seems my liver health could be key to better sleep.

If you're waking between 1AM and 3AM, your liver might need extra support. Research shows that detoxification has a huge link to our circadian rhythm. This means that waking up in the middle of the night could be linked to your liver. The liver is the key organ for detoxification. The liver naturally does most of its detoxification when you're in your deep non REM sleep, around 12AM to 3AM. It processes and metabolises cholesterol, fatty acids, glucose, thyroid hormones, bile acids, iron, and everything in between. So if your liver is congested or imbalanced, this can affect your wake sleep cycle, your sleep rhythm. Does this sound like it relates to you? Do you think that your liver could be playing a role in the way you sleep or in the way your sleep is being disturbed?

Video Transcript AI Summary
Estrogen detox: the liver clears your estrogen, and it’s your liver that is responsible for clearing your estrogen. Specific CYP genetic pathways, part of phase one and phase two liver detox, govern how estrogen is eliminated. Bioaccumulation of estrogen can lead to estrogen dominant disease processes, such as ovarian cancer, cervical cancer, and breast cancer. How you know how your liver detoxes estrogen? There’s a test for that: the DUTCH test. DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Total Comprehensive Hormones, and it analyzes metabolites to show how the E1, E2, and E3 forms of estrogen are being cleared through your liver. If your hormones are off and you are in menopausal or perimenopausal state, it is one of my favorite tests to run. Click the link in my bio for more.

If you're hit with a foreign substance like a viral infection or an open wound, your inflammatory process comes to the rescue to fight off the infection. However, we need a balance of inflammatory agents and anti inflammatory agents. Since we get inflammation from omega six fatty acids and anti inflammation from omega three, we need to have a good balance between omega sixes and three.
But this isn't the case. We take in way more omega six because it's abundant in our diet. It comes from things like vegetable oils, poultry, eggs, and animal fats, just to name a few sources. We get plenty of these and therefore have an excess amount of inflammatory chemicals in the body. Sources of omega three are things like fatty fish, flax seed, certain algae, and grass fed meats.
And how much of these things are you getting in your diet on a daily basis?

I've uncovered some unsettling truths about canola oil. It was introduced in the 1980s as a cheap substitute for saturated fats, despite its origins in rapeseed oil, which was never meant for food. Canola oil was marketed as heart-healthy, but it lacks the safety approval it needs and has been linked to various health issues in animal studies. The production process destroys nutrients and creates harmful trans fats. Instead, I recommend using traditional fats like olive oil, butter, or coconut oil, which our bodies recognize and have used for centuries.
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
You have been lied to. Canola oil is not heart healthy. It is a factory-made fat designed for profit, not people. It is been linked to heart disease, cancer, and even Alzheimer’s. Here is the disturbing truth they never wanted you to know about canola oil 🧵 https://t.co/t7CpyyGvTS
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
1⃣ It all started in the 1980s. Saturated fat became the villain. Butter and lard were pushed out. The food industry needed a cheap replacement. Corn and soy oil flopped. They were linked to cancer. So they turned to something new… rapeseed oil. https://t.co/9HqqC1Y2mQ

Genetically modified the seed of canola so that it could withstand glyphosates. And now once they harvest it and they press it into an oil, it actually comes out very gummy. So they actually have to de gum it with something called hexane, which is not only a known neurotoxin, it's a highly carcinogenic. They heat it above four fifty degrees Fahrenheit, which completely denatures the oil and turns it rancid. They deodorize it using sodium hydroxide, which is another known neurotoxin and highly carcinogenic. They will also use bleaches to bleach the oil, to turn it clear again, because it's cloudy. So it has to be de gummed. It has to be bleached. Then they bottle it and put it on the shelf. It doesn't resemble anything like it did when it left nature.

Speaker 0: So what they did was they genetically modified the seed of canola so that it could withstand glyphosates. And now once they harvest it and they actually press it in to an attempt to make an oil, it actually comes out very gummy. So they actually have to de gum it with something called hexane, which is not only a known neurotoxin, it's a highly carcinogenic. So first it's de gummed and then they heat it above four fifty degrees Fahrenheit, which completely denatures the oil and turns it rancid. It's absolutely the most disgusting rancid smell you've ever smelled in your life.
Have you ever been to a canola factory? It's hard to even get near the building. And so now that it's rancid, they have to deodorize it. And they use sodium hydroxide, which is another known neurotoxin and highly carcinogenic. They will also use bleaches to bleach the oil, to turn it clear again, because it's cloudy.
So it has to be de gummed. It has to be bleached. They're just trying to make it look good. Yeah. Then they bottle it and put it in on the shelf.

2⃣ Rapeseed oil was never meant for food. It was high in erucic acid, which damaged the heart. It was even used in machine lubricants and pesticides. To fix this, scientists made a new version with less erucic acid. They called it canola oil. https://t.co/tVva7stxOn

On location in a rapeseed field, the speaker explains that rapeseed is a common UK crop used to make canola oil for cooking. Canola oil has a high smoke point and is helpful for cooking. It is low in saturated fat and full of unsaturated fat, the kind to consume for calories. The speaker notes the oil is very high in inflammatory omega-6 oils, so we should avoid inflammatory things in our body and tilt the balance toward omega-3, found in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, taylics and kippers. While rapeseed oil is very colorful and has useful properties as a cooking oil, it's not something we should be having too much of in our diets.

Speaker 0: On location in a rapeseed field just now. Really worth talking about because rapeseed as you can imagine is quite a common UK crop because they use it to make canola oil which is used in cooking. It's an oil which has got a very high smoke point so very helpful for cooking. It's low in saturated fat so from a health perspective that can be very helpful and it's full of unsaturated fat which is the kind of fat that we should be aiming to consume in our diet for our calories. The only problem with it being that it's very high in inflammatory omega six oils.
So we're always trying to avoid inflammatory things in our body. So omega six is something we want to try and avoid. We really want to tip the balance towards omega three, which is the kind of thing that we find in things like oily fish, salmon, mackerel, anchovies, sardines, taylics and kippers. So whilst it's very very colorful, it's got some useful properties as a cooking oil not something we should be having too much of in our diets.

Canola oil is derived from the seeds of the rape plant. It's rapeseed oil, and it was originally developed in World War two to lubricate ships and steam engines because the oil sticks to wet metal. So the US government asked Canada to increase their production of rapeseed oil to help with the war effort. But at the end of World War II, demand for this rapeseed oil dropped precipitously, and Canada needed to find a way to keep selling something that it put so many resources into producing in high amounts. The problem for Canada immediately after the war is that this unmodified rapeseed oil is toxic for humans, containing significant amounts of a monounsaturated fat called aurucic acid, which seems to be damaging for the heart.

Speaker 0: This is how Canada convinced you to eat engine lubricant. This is the crazy history of canola oil. Canola oil is derived from the seeds of the rape plant. It's rapeseed oil, and it was originally developed in World War two to lubricate ships and steam engines because the oil sticks to wet metal. Now during World War two, The United States needed to build a lot of ships, and we didn't really have enough of this rapeseed oil to lubricate the parts that were gonna get wet.
So the US government asked Canada to increase their production of rapeseed oil to help with the war effort. But at the end of World War II, demand for this rapeseed oil dropped precipitously, and Canada needed to find a way to keep selling something that it put so many resources into producing in high amounts. The problem for Canada immediately after the war is that this unmodified rapeseed oil is toxic for humans, containing significant amounts of a monounsaturated fat called aurucic acid, which seems to be damaging for the heart. But in 1980, scientists finally succeeded in genetically modifying the seeds from these rape plants to make their oil significantly lower in erucic acid, and canola oil was born. Canola is actually an acronym that stands for Canadian oil low acid, and today, it's one of the most highly consumed oils on the planet and especially in The United States.
And if you listen to mainstream health authorities or the American College of Cardiology, they'll tell you this oil is healthy for you. But I beg to differ. There are multiple studies in both animal and human models showing clearly that seed oils like canola oil are harmful for us. Another problem with canola oil and other seed oils is that in order to get these oils from the seeds of plants, they must be highly refined, exposed to many extracting agents that are carcinogenic like benzene, hexane, and heated to high temperatures leading to oxidation of these fragile oils. An exposure to high heat in the distillation process leads to oxidation and the formation of significant amounts of trans fats.
So these oils are toxic in so many different ways. So don't be fooled by propaganda here or what you're told by mainstream health authorities. These oils are harmful for humans. They should never have become part of our food supply. In fact, don't even think of them as food.
The only thing they're good for is engine lubricants, and that's the way they should stay.

4⃣ The marketing was clever. Canola oil was not sold through loud ads. Instead, it showed up in cookbooks and magazines. Doctors started calling it heart healthy. Recipes said “use olive or canola oil.” Slowly, it slipped into your kitchen without question.

5⃣ The label sounded great. They said canola was: Rich in monounsaturated fat Low in saturated fat A source of omega 3 And they claimed it helped prevent heart disease. But the science was quietly telling a different story. https://t.co/qhthA9CfAF

Speaker 0: Did you know rapeseed oil, what we now call canola oil, was never meant to be eaten? It was first recorded in ancient India, not as food, as fuel. Used to light lamps in homes and temples. It burned well. That was the point.
Fast forward a few thousand years, and during World War II, it found a new use lubricating steam engines and war machines. Why? Because it stuck to metal even under extreme heat. But there was a problem. Traditional rapeseed oil is high in irucic acid, a compound linked to heart damage in animal studies, toxic in large amounts, banned in some countries for human consumption.
So in the 1970s, Canadian scientists stepped in. They bred a new version, low in erucic acid, and gave it a fresh name, canola, short for Canadian oil low acid. It was rebranded as food, but only after heavy processing. We're talking hexane solvent extraction, bleaching, deodorising, refining, all to make it look clean, taste neutral, seem safe. Today, it's everywhere.
In your salad dressing, your margarine, your protein bar, even baby food. But the truth is simple. This wasn't some ancient culinary tradition. It was lamp oil, then machine grease, and only after decades of breeding and chemical treatment did it end up on your plate. This isn't food history, it's food marketing, and the real story is hidden in plain sight.

8⃣ What about the omega 3? They love to advertise it. But here is the truth: Most of it gets destroyed during processing Some of it turns into trans fats And it cannot do its job without saturated fat That benefit they promised? Just marketing
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
9⃣ They say it is like olive oil. But is it? Both are high in monounsaturated fats. But olive oil comes with antioxidants and saturated fats. Canola does not. When used alone, canola can raise the risk of breast cancer and worsen artery health.
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
🔟 So what is the bigger picture? Canola oil is not real food. It is made in labs Refined in factories Genetically modified And never eaten by any traditional culture It exists to solve an industrial problem. Not a human one.
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
✅ What to use instead? Stick with fats your body understands: Use extra virgin olive oil Cook with butter or ghee Use coconut oil or beef tallow Avoid seed oils in processed food These are the fats humans have used for centuries. https://t.co/nBST1xHsuI

I've been reflecting on how our bodies communicate through symptoms, often indicating nutrient deficiencies. For instance, waking up tired might suggest low potassium, while trouble sleeping could mean a magnesium deficiency. Feeling low may point to a lack of Vitamin D, and low energy or brain fog could be due to insufficient iron. Even constant headaches might indicate a need for more sodium. Instead of relying on quick fixes, I believe it's essential to listen to these signals and nourish our bodies with the right foods. Food truly is our first medicine.

Speaker 0: Often overlooked root cause of chronic low energy levels and fatigue is an overburdened sluggish liver. Our liver does pretty much all the detoxing in our body and if our liver gets to its tipping point of being overburdened we really are going to start to see a lot of symptoms pop up and it's really going to affect our health. We may find other things along the way that we think are contributing. We might find mineral deficiencies or an imbalanced gut microbiome or adrenal fatigue and yes these things might be at play as well. We don't address the overburdened liver, we will never really move forward.
Two of the main things that our livers get overburdened with are viruses and heavy metals. If our livers reach this point where they it can't detox all of these toxins, it's going to start spilling out into our system. So viruses create viral byproducts. These byproducts spill out of our liver and goes into our system. It causes our brain to become very inflamed.
One of the symptoms it can cause is this form of low energy and chronic fatigue. The inflammation can affect our adrenal glands. There can be some adrenal weakening going on from inflammation but actually the root cause was from the overburdened liver. It's really important when we're dealing with chronic fatigue, low energy levels, that yes, there could be other contributing factors going on, but we will really be amiss if we are not looking at the liver and potentially figuring out why our liver is overburdened and start a path of cleansing and getting it rejuvenated again.

Speaker 0: Are you having digestive issues? The number one place is not to look to your digestive tract. You heard that right. If you have indigestion or bloating or foods don't agree with you, the very first place that we need to look is actually your liver. That's right, your liver has a profound digestive component to it.
You see, your gallbladder, if you still have one, is attached to your liver. Your liver makes something called bile and then that bile gets excreted or pumped out into your small intestine. That happens right after your food leaves your stomach. So your stomach is designed to be very acidic like a pH of three, like car battery acid, and then it dumps into your small intestine where it's actually very alkaline, has a very high pH, which is the necessary environment then for bile from the gallbladder to come in and do its job. So if the liver is sluggish, and by the way, there are so many roles of the liver.
I have called the liver the most overworked, underpaid organ in the entire body for many, many years. If the organ is not function if the liver rather is not functioning well, I believe that digestion is the first task that it throws out the back door. So things you could look at ALT, AST, bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, albumin, those are particular liver enzymes.

Belly fat isn't solely about calories; it's influenced by hormones, stress, sleep, and metabolism. If you're struggling despite your efforts, I shared seven root causes and solutions. First, lower cortisol through daily walks and better sleep. Balance blood sugar by prioritizing protein and fiber. Eating more, not less, boosts metabolism. Daily bowel movements help eliminate excess estrogen. Prioritize sleep for fat loss, and switch to healthier oils to reduce inflammation. Remember, addressing these underlying issues leads to better energy and clarity, with belly fat as a symptom of deeper problems.

Cortisol makes you gain weight.
Now it's a stress hormone.
When you have high levels of cortisol, it causes you to gain belly fat, it causes your muscles to break down, it makes you more resistant, it raises your blood pressure, it shrinks your memory center in your brain.
So literally when you're stressed, your fat cells are listening.
And when your body is actually in a state of stress, it's not designed to actually lose weight initially because you want to be flooding your body with sugar and fatty acids.
And so you're basically inhibiting the process of metabolism metabolism and you're increasing your fat storage and you're doing all these things that are really bad.

Whenever we eat anything, it will turn to glucose in our blood. This glucose in our blood gives us energy. In order for our body to access the energy from this glucose, our body releases insulin. This insulin is the key to our cells. It allows the glucose to enter our muscles and our organs to be used for energy and help them work. The more we eat, the more glucose is released and the more insulin is required to get that into our muscles and our organs, which allows our body to function. If we run out of room in our organs and our muscles, but we still have all this glucose in our bloodstream, where does it go? It goes into our liver to be stored for later. All of this extra glucose gets stored as fat.

Speaker 0: You're a visual learner and you want to better understand insulin and glucose, come along with me. Whenever we eat anything, it will turn to glucose in our blood. And this glucose in our blood gives us energy. In order for our body to access the energy from this glucose, our body releases insulin. And this insulin is the key to our cells.
It allows the glucose to enter our muscles and our organs to be used for energy and help them work. And the more we eat, the more glucose is released and the more insulin is required to get that into our muscles and our organs, which allows our body to function. If we run out of room in our organs and our muscles, but we still have all this glucose in our bloodstream, where does it go? It goes into our liver to be stored for later. And when all that glucose is out of our bloodstream, our insulin levels can also start to drop.
Because there's food everywhere and it always tastes good, we have a snack. This turns to glucose. Insulin follows suit. Because we didn't wait very long for our insulin to clear out and our body to use what's stored, we don't have any more room. So where does it go?
All of this extra glucose gets stored as fat. We're always having snacks between our meals and eating weight when we wake up and eating late. We're always gonna have glucose in our bloodstream, and our body is gonna require more and more insulin to get this glucose into our fat, into our liver, into our organs, and into our muscles to be stored. This is insulin resistance. Insulin is knocking on the doors of these cells, but they're not answering.
They just need more and more insulin. And we don't give our body time to let these insulin levels drop. We can't access these fat stores because when insulin is in our blood, fat burning can't happen. But when we give our body a break from food and we use our muscles and we eat more fiber, we give our body a chance to use up what's stored in this liver for energy. And then we can use up what's stored in our fat cells for energy.
It just takes a few simple steps to get everything back in order.

Fat burning is about hormones, not just cutting calories. Understanding the hormones that burn fat versus those that store fat, and how to trigger or avoid them, can make you successful. Doctors may assess hormones and, if they find low testosterone, they may prescribe testosterone. Among fat-burning hormones, insulin is the key one. Insulin is made by the pancreas and it does a lot of things, including helping you store fat. You cannot burn fat if insulin is too high. Even if you boost other fat-burning hormones, if insulin—the fat-making hormone—is elevated, it nullifies all of the other hormones that help you lose weight.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Let's talk about the basics of how to burn fat. It's very important and this is not about cutting calories. This is about your hormones. If you understand the hormones that burn fat and how to trigger them versus the hormones that store fat and how to avoid triggering those, you can be very successful. I mean, it blows me away when someone goes to the doctor, they go to an endocrinologist and they assess their hormones and they might say that you have low testosterone.
So we're gonna give you testosterone. Out of all the hormones related to fat burning is this hormone called insulin. It's made by the pancreas. It does a lot of things, but one of the main things it does is it helps you store fat. You cannot burn fat if insulin is too high.
You can be doing all these other things to increase all the fat burning hormones, but if this fat making hormone called insulin is elevated, it nullifies all of the other hormones that help you lose weight.

I'm sharing five science-backed methods to lower cortisol, the stress hormone, that you can start today. First, GABA acts as a cortisol blocker, helping to reduce stress and improve mental clarity. Grounding, or earthing, normalizes cortisol rhythms and enhances sleep. Surprisingly, sugar can help by preventing cortisol spikes linked to low blood sugar. DHEA serves as a cortisol antidote, significantly reducing levels and improving mood. Lastly, vitamin D can lower cortisol by 40% in just two weeks. Consistency is key for a successful cortisol reset.

High Cortisol? Feeling wired, anxious, or can’t sleep? Here are 5 science-backed ways to lower cortisol (your body’s stress hormone) — no guesswork, no fluff. Each method is supported by real data — and you can start today. Let’s dive in:🧵 https://t.co/gbW3Ba9AKW
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
1. GABA = Cortisol Blocker GABA calms the brain, suppresses CRH, and stops cortisol release. 25–50mg orally reduces stress, improves fatigue, mental clarity & discomfort. Studies show GABA drops cortisol fast after a stressful event. It’s your first line of defense. https://t.co/189Q8jgdDy
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
2. Grounding (Earthing) 6 weeks of grounding normalized daily cortisol rhythm and improved sleep. Touching earth (barefoot or grounded mat) reduces CRF output in the brain — lowering stress at the source. Clients report deep calm. The science backs it up. https://t.co/lkUTurCuM0
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
3. Sugar (Yes, Really) Low blood sugar triggers CRH, which spikes cortisol. Glucose-sensitive neurons in the hypothalamus respond to sugar and stop the CRH-cortisol chain. Studies show animals fed sugar make less CRF. Even vs aspartame, sugar reduces cortisol more. https://t.co/OQx72LDnuS
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
4. DHEA (The Cortisol Antidote) DHEA cuts cortisol at multiple points: 🧬 Suppresses stress genes 🧪 Inhibits 11βHSD1 enzyme ⚖️ Balances cortisol receptors (GRα/GRβ) 25mg daily reduced cortisol nearly 50% and improved mood, fat loss, skin, mitochondria & immunity. https://t.co/Ppknli4zuh
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
5. Vitamin D = 40% Cortisol Drop Just 2,000 IU/day of vitamin D lowered cortisol by 40% in 14 days. Also reduced blood pressure by 9/7 mmHg. How? ☑️ Inhibits 11βHSD1 ☑️ Lowers inflammation ☑️ Balances calcium in the brain Sunlight or supplements — both work. https://t.co/uhSmpm3OH6
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
Final Takeaway: Lowering cortisol isn’t just about stress… It’s about hormone control, metabolism, mood, and longevity. ✅ GABA ✅ Grounding ✅ Balanced glucose ✅ DHEA ✅ Vitamin D Your cortisol reset doesn’t need to be complicated — just consistent Follow @MetabolicFactor

I’ve been exploring how digestion times can affect energy levels after meals. Fast-digesting foods like watermelon and bananas take about 20-45 minutes, while moderate options like rice and turkey take 1-2 hours. Foods that digest in 2-3 hours include broccoli and eggs, providing steady energy. Slow-digesting foods like steak and cheese can take 3-4.5 hours, offering dense nutrients but requiring more effort to break down. Mixing food types can confuse digestion, so I’m learning to time my meals and choose lighter options for better energy and sleep.

Fatty liver disease is the accumulation of fat in and around the liver. It can arise from two factors: alcoholic fatty liver, with increased alcohol consumption, and nonalcoholic fatty liver, for which hypothyroidism can be a major contributor. Hypothyroidism raises TSH, slows metabolism, and promotes fat storage. High TSH can also increase insulin resistance, leaving more glucose in the blood, which the liver converts to glycogen—adding more fat. Increased TSH also raises triglycerides and LDL cholesterol, harming the liver. A poorly functioning liver impairs conversion of thyroid hormone T4 to T3, worsening hypothyroid problems. If liver doesn’t break down cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides rise, increasing cardiovascular risk. NAFLD often has few symptoms; AST and ALT can be elevated, prompting ultrasound for diagnosis. If this information’s helped, please like, share, and follow.

Speaker 0: Fatty liver disease. Does that mean your liver is getting fat? Well, kind of. It means that there is accumulation of fat in and around your liver, and it's not supposed to be there. So what can cause that?
Well, there's two factors that can do that. The first one is your alcoholic fatty liver. Major contributor to that is increased consumption of alcohol. Now add to that mix of being, you know, either insulin resistant and overweight, that can make things really bad. Now the second one is your nonalcoholic fatty liver.
So alcohol is not a part of that, but hypothyroidism can be a major contributor to that. Now why is that? Because when you are hypothyroid, your TSH levels are high, your metabolism slows down, and that causes more fat deposits or fat storage to happen. Now when you're also having high TSH levels, you also become more insulin resistant. Now when you're insulin resistant means yours there's a lot more, glucose floating around in your blood.
Now that glucose is taken into your liver to be converted into glycogen to be stored. That's fat again. Increased TSH levels also increase your triglycerides and the LDL, your bad cholesterol levels. Now all this thing is hurting your liver. So when your liver is not functioning well, what happens?
Well, we know that your thyroid hormone, your t four, needs to be converted into t three by the liver. So that does not happen. So that's adding to your hypothyroid problems. Now when you have liver not breaking down the cholesterol, because we know the liver helps make and break cholesterol levels, your LDL, your bad cholesterol goes up, your triglyceride levels go up. Now that puts you at higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
Now, how do you see that? There's not much symptoms when it comes to, you know, nonalcoholic fatty liver, but if you get some blood work done, your liver enzymes, there's something called your AST and your ALT, those can be elevated. Now that may trigger your doctor to order, say, an ultrasound to find out or diagnose you with a nonalcoholic fatty liver. So hope you put that into play and hope this information's helped. If it has, please like, share, and follow.

Speaker 0: Here are some skin changes that should prompt you to get your liver checked. The first is yellowing of the skin called jaundice. So this is what normal skin should look like and jaundice looks just like that. You can see here the stark difference in the skin colors. When the liver is not working correctly, it can't clear a pigment called bilirubin and this can deposit in the skin and can also deposit in the eyes and this is called scleral icterus.
This is called palmar erythema and all that means is just redness of the palms and while this can be associated with things like pregnancy or even hereditary conditions, when the liver is not breaking down estrogen it tends to build up and it can cause this. These are called spider angioma and these are blood vessels underneath the skin that kind of resemble the legs of a spider, and this can be seen in liver disease. And last, a distended abdomen with fluid. This is called ascites.

An American study analyzed 50,000 women over 30 years and found that those who drink coffee are likely to age better. The results indicate coffee drinkers have better physical, mental and cognitive health well into their 70s and beyond. The study notes that while coffee provides health benefits, they are not as strong as those produced by great exercise and diet. The guidance is moderate: three cups of coffee a day is enough. The findings position coffee consumption as a factor associated with healthier aging, particularly in physical and cognitive domains. The overall message emphasizes moderation for daily coffee use.

I've shared some daily habits that can silently harm your kidneys. First, not drinking enough water can lead to kidney stones and poor filtration. Excess salt intake stresses the kidneys and raises blood pressure. Overusing painkillers can reduce blood flow, causing tissue damage. High sugar consumption increases diabetes risk, while holding in urine can lead to infections that damage kidneys. Eating too much protein and processed food strains them, and smoking reduces blood flow. Lack of sleep disrupts kidney function, and excessive alcohol harms them too. Small daily choices can help keep your kidneys healthy.

1. Not Drinking Enough Water Your kidneys need water to flush out toxins and waste. Skip hydration, and they struggle — leading to: → Kidney stones → Poor filtration Chronic dehydration quietly wrecks kidney function. https://t.co/TCi3V8bV9o
Video Transcript AI Summary
When you are dehydrated, your urine becomes more concentrated. Dark, strong smelling, and packed with waste. Your kidneys are supposed to flush out toxins. But without water, the waste just lingers. This also increases your risk of kidney stones. These are crystallized minerals that form when urine is too dense. In severe cases, low hydration drops blood pressure, meaning less blood reaches your kidneys, which can probably lead to acute kidney injury. And if you are peeing less, bacteria are not getting flushed out, leading to UTI. Chronic dehydration over time stresses your kidneys. That's why drinking water is very important for around eight to 10 glasses a day.

2. Excess Salt Intake Too much sodium = high blood pressure. High blood pressure = kidney stress. Over time, this overload leads to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and reduced filtration ability. Less salt = healthier kidneys. https://t.co/hvDgir9lHf
Video Transcript AI Summary
This can gradually damage your kidneys. Excessive salt intake is a silent threat to kidney health. When you consume too much sodium, it increases blood pressure, pushing your kidneys to work harder to filter the excess. Over time, this can lead to kidney damage, chronic kidney disease, or even kidney failure. High sodium levels cause your body to retain water, leading to swelling and strain on your kidneys.
Processed foods and restaurant meals are often packed with hidden salt. To protect your kidneys, aim for less than 2,300 milligons of sodium per day. Opt for fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to flavor your meals instead. Being mindful of your salt consumption is essential for long term kidney health.

Diabetes or prediabetes, or a situation with a lot of sugar in the bloodstream after you just ate sugar, leads to damage to four parts of the body: the eye, the kidney, the nervous system (which includes your brain and the inside of your arteries). This sugar can be thought of as something that rusts out or corrodes the body tissues because you're getting a lot of free radical damage in something called oxidation.

Video Transcript AI Summary
So essentially when you smoke, there are chemicals, things like nicotine and carbon monoxide. These actually trigger inflammation and oxidative stress all throughout the body. This damages different organs including blood vessels and in the kidneys there are small blood vessels that are really essential for filtering waste and also bringing in blood and nutrients to the kidneys themselves. So in addition to that, it also can activate something that we call our renin angiotensin system, basically something that increases our blood pressure. This increase in blood pressure further damages our blood vessels and further stresses our kidneys. On top of that smoking also can worsen conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure which are already the leading causes of kidney failure. But the good news is that quitting smoking can lessen any current damage from progressing.

Speaker 0: How does smoking affect your kidneys? This is actually a really great question. So essentially when you smoke, there are chemicals, things like nicotine and carbon monoxide. These actually trigger inflammation and oxidative stress all throughout the body. This damages different organs including blood vessels and in the kidneys there are small blood vessels that are really essential for filtering waste and also bringing in blood and nutrients to the kidneys themselves.
So in addition to that, it also can activate something that we call our renin angiotensin system, basically something that increases our blood pressure. This increase in blood pressure further damages our blood vessels and further stresses our kidneys. So over time, this can lead to kidney injury. Anytime an organ, including our kidney, has chronic damage and chronic injury, eventually the tissue becomes fibrotic and scarred, essentially making it unable to carry out its normal function. On top of that smoking also can worsen conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure which are already the leading causes of kidney failure.
And in general our kidneys are one of our most important organs. They work very quietly usually in the background, so we don't often know when they start to fail or start to get damaged. But the good news is that quitting smoking can lessen any current damage from progressing.

In the 1960s, only 1 in 8 Americans was overweight, but today it's 1 in 3, largely due to changes in our food environment rather than exercise habits. Back then, diets consisted of whole foods without calorie tracking, averaging around 2,100 calories daily. Now, we consume 2,600–2,700 calories, mainly from sugar, processed fats, and ultra-processed foods. Snacking and portion sizes have increased, contributing to obesity. To combat this, I suggest focusing on sleep, protein-rich meals, reducing junk food, and tracking macros. Control your inputs to influence your health outcomes.

Speaker 0: So fair very famous study done in Copenhagen. A 100 normal individuals, one group of one liter of sugared soda per day for six months. One group, one liter of diet soda per day for six months. One group, one liter of milk per day for six months. And finally, one final group, one liter of water per day for six months.
The one liter of soda per day in six months gained 10 kilos. No surprise. The one liter of water per day lost two kilos. One liter of milk per day, no change. And finally, the key, the kicker to the whole thing, diet soda.
The one liter of diet soda. What would you predict their weight would do? They gained two kilos. Why did they gain two kilos if they were consuming a liter of diet soda, which are zero calories? The answer is because they still generated an insulin response.

I believe these seed oils are making us fat. This correlation is too much to ignore. Over the same time period, obesity rates went from around eleven point nine percent to over forty three percent in The United States. Obesity and overweight is now over seventy percent of The US population. Correlation is not causation, but it is important to note that interventional studies with seed oils show an increase in linoleic acid from seed oils in the human diet causes increased oxidative stress and decreased nitric oxide precursors. It's also interesting to note that in the last four hundred years, meat and animal fat consumption has gone down. Meat and animal fat are not the cause of your obesity and chronic illness. Get rid of these if you want to thrive.

Another factor that's very important is the frequency of eating. If you're snacking, if you're eating between meals, if you're even eating three meals a day, that can slow things down. Because one of the triggers for insulin, the fat storing hormone, is eating in general. So the less you eat, the better. The less you snack, the better. Any food, will stimulate insulin, and then that will make you a little bit more hungry. So we want to get you in a state where you're, burning your own fat and you're satisfied and you're not hungry anymore. So we wanna combine the low carb with eating less frequent, like two meals a day or even one meal a day. That will produce huge effects, and because you're not craving, it'll make it easier to do.

Cortisol makes you gain weight. Now it's a stress hormone. When you have high levels of cortisol, it causes you to gain belly fat, it causes your muscles to break down, it makes you more resistant, it raises your blood pressure, it shrinks your memory center in your brain. And what happens is stress also affects your fat cells, literally your nervous system, your autonomic nervous system, your sympathetic nervous system, your fight or flight nervous system has neuronal connections to your fat cells. So literally when you're stressed, your fat cells are listening. And when your body is actually in a state of stress, it's not designed to actually lose weight initially because you want to be flooding your body with sugar and fatty acids.

Speaker 0: So Doctor. Wright, you just mentioned that you have this exercise routine that you prescribe. Yeah, on a weekly basis. We need to be spending at least three hours a week walking, broken up into forty five minute sessions. So put on your favorite podcast, go learn all week.
Right? So that's four go for a walk four times. At least four times a week. Right? At a brisk pace, not so fast that you're out of breath, but not so slow that you can solve world peace in your conversation.
Minimum of twice a week, we must learn to lift heavy. How heavy? Heavy means what you can lift four to six times. To keep it simple for my people, I'm like four times, which we want to lift to to fatigue. Listen, you don't get there overnight.
If we're starting at at at just body weight, it may take you six months, maybe nine to learn the technique and to work up, but it is so worth it. And listen, I have plenty of examples of women starting in their sixties. There's no age limit on this. So heavy is an individual thing, and it just is something we work towards. Learn to lift your own body weight.
Every woman should be able to do 11 push ups, regular push ups. On the knees okay? No. Oh my god. But listen, you can build up to that.
I used to teach classes. My starters started out with 51% body fat. They could not hold a plank and literally couldn't walk around the track. Over a three month period, we met with them twice a week. We did variety of weight bearing exercises.
They not only completed a 3.2 mile walk run, they could hold a plank for two minutes. Wow. So walking, lifting at least twice a week, twice a week when you're comfortable with walking, I want you to get your heart rate up really high. And you had a very simple way of doing that. Thirty seconds, complete recovery.
It takes me my example is I can get my heart rate up to about 186, and then I two or three minutes, I completely recover. It's down to one thirty, one forty. And four times you do that? Four times. And then I work on balance every day when I brush my teeth.
You should think of this as an investment in yourself.

Speaker 0: Blue works by helping convert the red blood cells into a form that will properly carry and release oxygen. So in other words, it turns oxygen containing red blood cells back into their normal state. So gel methylene blue shows signs as a potent nootropic. Studies show it can cross the blood brain barrier and enhance memory, focus, and even executive function. It's believed to do this by increasing mitochondrial efficiency, powerhouse of our cells, and promoting the production of ATP.
That's the energy currency of our cells. Remember, we're not powered by the food we eat, the water we drink, or the air we breathe. We are powered by one singular energy source called ATP, adenosine triphosphate. So this is crucial as improved mitochondrial function is directly linked to enhanced brain health and cognitive performance. So many of us are looking for that little cognitive edge to get through our day.
Methylene blue also shows promise as a powerful antioxidant, scavenging harmful free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, which is a key factor in aging and many, many diseases. It's an anti inflammatory. Its anti inflammatory effects further protect us against cellular damage, which supports overall cellular health. And lastly, perhaps its most groundbreaking property lies in its potential ability to significantly impact our mitochondrial health. A lot of the current anti aging longevity research, to surmise, is an improvement in the function of our mitochondria.
So Methylene Blue optimizes mitochondrial function, which not only boosts energy levels, but may also extend lifespan by ensuring our cells longevity. Recent studies suggest its role in neuroprotection, showing its ability to preserve neurological function and protect against neurodegenerative diseases.

If you eat garlic, you must watch this. When a protein in garlic called allian and a heat sensitive enzyme called allianase combine, allicin, that's what's created. And to activate Allison, the garlic has to be chewed, crushed, or sliced. And there's one simple change you must do to get that maximum Allison out of your garlic. Crush it, chop it, mince it, slice it, but you need to keep it out in the air with oxygen for about ten minutes. And during this time, that's how you're going to get those enzymes to create that Allison, which is going to help your heart, your blood vessels, your brain, your cells, your intestines, preventing diabetes and sugar problems and all types of other issues when it comes to pathogens. That's how you're gonna stay healthy.

I've been exploring why Italians live nearly 20 years longer than Americans, and it boils down to their lifestyle habits. They prioritize holistic health through natural wellness practices, control portion sizes, and avoid sugary drinks. Their coffee culture favors simple espresso, and they walk an average of 20,000 steps daily. Italians eat a diet rich in real foods while enjoying cleaner environments. Additionally, they embrace longevity practices like supplements. The key takeaway is that longevity is rooted in daily habits and choices.

Speaker 0: Drinking culture in Italy versus the drinking culture in The US. Let's talk about it. Now, one of the biggest differences that I've noticed is that in America, quite simply, people drink to get drunk. Now, that's not to say there aren't people in America who appreciate a good glass of wine or quality alcohol. But more times than not, people in America use alcohol as a form of escapism.
Now, after spending eight years in Italy, I feel comfortable saying that alcohol, while there certainly are people who drink to get drunk, is really just part of the gastronomic culture in Italy. It is not uncommon to have a glass of wine or a glass of alcohol at lunch or at dinner. Now people may say what about a peritivo? What about a perice? Now okay, a peritivo is almost always accompanied by food And I feel like more times than not now when you go out for an petitivo it's very often accompanied by a large plate of food.
Same with a petticena. It's not uncommon to have a nightcap or something to drink after dinner. But again, it's not used to get drunk. Very often you have what's called a digestive or something to help you digest the food that you just ate. Something I do want to talk about, and I don't see this as just being a difference, I do see this as being a problem, within the American culture specifically.
Now over the last couple years I have had issues with autoimmune disease and anybody with autoimmune disease knows that anything like alcohol or potentially inflammatory can worsen autoimmune issues. In Italy I found that not drinking or choosing to drink a non alcoholic drink was never a problem amongst my friends. There were never any questions, never really any concerns, never any judgment. Now in America, it's quite different. In America, since I've been back, and really any time I've ever visited America while living in Italy, whenever I would go out with friends and I wouldn't drink, there was a tremendous amount of guilt, judgment, and pressure to drink.
In addition to this judgment and pressure, it was always accompanied by a very long line of questioning. Well, why don't you drink? Are you an alcoholic? Do you have a drinking problem? It's weird that you don't drink.
These are things that I often still to this day hear. Now there are even times here in America where I've been invited to social events and I simply won't go because I know that the people who are going are going to basically interrogate me as to why I won't drink alcohol. Now in addition to that line of questioning or judgment of why I don't drink alcohol, the most frustrating judgment or question that I get asked is, Well, you lived in Italy for eight years. What do you mean you don't drink? That's weird.
All Italians drink. Nah, to all my Italians watching, you know that simply is not true. It is not uncommon for an Italian to be a stemia or to not drink. But I am curious to hear about anybody's opinions or beliefs regarding this both in Italy and The US, and I'm happy to see your comments below.

I mean, growing up, I was taught to drink eight glasses of water a day. But somehow, we've turned into massive hydration zombies carrying massive sized Stanley Cup water bottles everywhere we go. Yet, I've never seen an Italian carry a large water bottle or carry a water bottle ever. Do they require less hydration than we do? Why do we need so much water? I saw a guy the other day walking through the city with one of those water packs with plastic hosing that comes in his mouth, and he's sucking hydration while he's walking through the city.

But somehow, we've turned into massive hydration zombies carrying massive sized Stanley Cup water bottles everywhere we go. Yet, I've never seen an Italian carry a large water bottle or carry a water bottle ever.
Do they require less hydration than we do? Why do we need so much water? I saw a guy the other day walking through the city with one of those water packs with plastic hosing that comes in his mouth, and he's sucking hydration while he's walking through the city. It's not like he was hiking the Alps. He was probably just looking for gelato.
When you go to a restaurant in Italy, the waiter asks you, do you want still or sparkling? Whichever one you choose, it's always bottled mineral water. Never tap. Maybe it's the minerals in the water, or maybe the bubbles are some sort of magic hydration beads for the Italians. And I'm not even gonna get into temperature of the water because it's a whole other video.
So I would love your help in solving this hydration issue. Are Americans just thirstier, or is there a reason they require this much hydration? Leave me a comment, and let me know your thoughts.

3. Symptoms to Watch • Itchy, stinging, gritty feeling • Sensitivity to light • Blurry or fluctuating vision • Worse with prolonged screens or reduced blinking https://t.co/prgIz4GJJw
Video Transcript AI Summary
Here in The UK, about one third of the adult UK population have got it.
1) Excessive tearing: watery eyes can be a sign of dry eye syndrome. Oil and water balance—meibomian glands—coat tears to prevent evaporation.
2) Redness and irritation: chronic redness is a common sign of dry eyes due to inflammation; anti-inflammatory drops or tablets can quickly reduce redness.
3) Itching: one of the most common symptoms of dry eyes, about one in five patients; burning or stinging may occur.
4) Blurry vision after long screen time: screens double the risk; if the tear layer isn’t smooth, vision is blurred and may improve with blinking.
5) Persistent dryness or grittiness: corneal nerves; nerve irritation leads to gritty, sandy feelings; this could indicate dry eye syndrome.
If symptoms persist, see your optometrist or eye doctor.

Speaker 0: How would you know if you've got dry eyes? Well, first of all, it's incredibly common. Here in The UK, about one third of the adult UK population have got it. So if you're out in a group of three, one of you likely has dry eyes. And because of the damage that dry eyes can cause, I'm gonna give you the top five red flags to look out for.
Warning sign number one is excessive tearing. Do your eyes water easily? Believe it or not, watery eyes can actually be a sign of dry eye syndrome. It's all about oil and water. You have lots of vital oil glands in your eyelids called meibomian glands.
The oil coats your watery tears to prevent evaporation, like putting cling film to keep your food fresh. Now if you aren't making enough oil or the oil isn't the right quality, the watery layer of your tears just evaporates too quickly, creating dry spots. In response, your lacrimal glands, which are over here, pump out lots of extra tears to compensate. The result of that is watery eyes, even though they're actually dry. Warning sign number two is redness and irritation.
Are your eyes frequently red and irritated even when you haven't been crying or irritants such as pollen. Chronic redness is a common sign of dry eyes. Why would that be? It's because the underlying foundation of dry eyes is inflammation. And the first line of treatment now isn't adding tear drops like we did years ago.
It's giving anti inflammatory drops or tablets which will quickly reduce the redness. Warning sign number three is itching. Now, this might surprise you because most people think of hay fever or allergy when you get itchy eyes, but actually it's one of the most common symptoms of dry eyes happening in about one in five patients. Other symptoms include burning or stinging. Warning sign number four is blurry vision, especially after some prolonged screen time.
Using screens for hours a day can double your chance of getting dry eyes. Your cornea here at the front of the eye acts as a powerful lens to bend and focus light onto your retina, a process that's called refraction. But the point at which light bends is actually on the tear layer as light rays pass from the air into the watery coating of your eyes. And if that tear layer isn't smooth and stable, you no longer have a beautifully polished lens surface. And the result of that is blurred vision, especially intermittent blurring that improves when you take a blink.
This symptom is much more common with screen use because we blink three to five times less often on our devices, and so there's more time for tears to evaporate and get to get patchy dryness across your cornea. Warning sign number five is persistent dryness or grittiness. Did you know there are more nerves per square millimeter in your cornea than anywhere else in the human body? A nerve irritation is a cornerstone of dry eyes leading to gritty or sandy feelings, or like this says something in your eyes. If your eyes often feel dry or gritty or like there's sand in them, this could be a sign of dry eye syndrome.
Now if you're getting one or more of these five warning symptoms and signs, and they're not going away, it's best to book to see your local optometrist or your eye doctor.

4. Nutrition Fix – Omega-3s Omega-3 fatty acids strengthen the oily tear layer and fight inflammation. Best sources: salmon, sardines, mackerel, flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts. https://t.co/abTKfJZWpB
Video Transcript AI Summary
Omega-3 fatty acids are healthy fats that your body needs but can't make on its own. You get them from foods like fish, nuts, seeds or supplements like fish oil. Number one, they reduce inflammation. Omega-3s help reduce that inflammation so the gland can work better and make more of that oily part of your tears. This keeps your eyes moist longer. Number two, better tear quality. Tears aren't just water, they're a mix of water, oil and mucus. Omega-three fatty acids improve that oily part of your tear film so those tears don't evaporate near as quickly. Heart health. Omega-3s keep your heart healthy by lowering bad cholesterol and reducing the chance for heart attacks and strokes.

This keeps your eyes moist longer. Number two, better tear quality. Tears aren't just water, they're a mix of water, oil and mucus. Omega-three fatty acids improve that oily part of your tear film so those tears don't evaporate near as quickly. So that's just the benefits you get with your eyes.
There are a lot of other benefits that you can get from omega-3s. Heart health. Omega-3s keep your heart healthy by lowering bad cholesterol and reducing the chance for heart attacks and strokes. Brain health, which we all need. They're great for your brain and can help with memory, learning and even mood like helping with anxiety and depression.
Omega-3s can ease stiffness and inflammation in your joints making them especially helpful with patients with arthritis. Omega-3s keep your skin hydrated and may help with conditions like eczema. Think of omega-3s like oil in a car. They help everything run smoother from your eyes to your heart.

Speaker 0: Vision problems? Listen to what he said about this natural trick. If you have cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, glaucoma, blurry vision, or any other vision problem, this is for you. Wearing glasses helps you see better. Right?
Not really. And eye drops also. No. Let me share what I recommend to my patients to naturally restore their vision. Your eyes are just a camera for the part of the brain responsible for vision.
They capture light signals and send them to the brain where they are processed so you can see. But as we age, these cells start to deteriorate. So what should you do? Rushing to the eye doctor and buying the latest glasses, bifocals, or trifocals won't solve the problem. According to my research and studies from other renowned vision specialists, glasses only mask the real cause of the issue.
What you actually need is to properly nourish and care for the cells called cones and rods, which are responsible for converting light into electrical impulses. And for that, you simply need to consume high quality pure lutein known as nature's gold for the eyes. This will help improve eye health and strengthen your vision system. If you have vision problems, I highly recommend this lutein. If you are lucky enough to see this video and the orange icon is still visible below, it means there are still a few units left.

I often experience hand pain, which I learned is linked to inflammation rather than just aging. To tackle this, I've developed a 5-step strategy for natural relief. First, I use grated ginger on sore joints for its anti-inflammatory properties. After that, I apply a cooling balm to reduce swelling. I also make a daily shot with turmeric, ginger, and collagen to fight pain from within. Additionally, I incorporate nutrients that repair cartilage and finish my day with a warm Epsom salt soak. This combination helps me regain strength and movement.

If you apply a ginger poultice anywhere where there's inflammation, the ginger pulls the inflammation out of the joint to the skin and the skin gets really hot. So if you apply this to the lower back, the heat relaxes the muscles and yet the ginger is reducing the inflammation. How you make the poultice is you put the left side over and the right side over, and the bottom comes up and the top goes down. Now let's say that I have an inflamed joint, then you would apply it to the area there. You can see even with the plastic on that, not much is touching the skin. It's only the very edges. Then you bandage that on.

So if you apply this to the lower back, the heat relaxes the muscles and yet the ginger is reducing the inflammation. You do about that much. How you make the poultice is you put the left side over and the right side over, and the bottom comes up and the top goes down. So you can see I've made like a little package there.
Then I turn that over and the part that's touching the skin is where you've just got one layer. The beauty of this little package also is that you've got a few layers behind so that if it is quite wet it will help to soak up any drips. Then you will apply that to the area. Now let's say that I have an inflamed joint, then you would apply it to the area there. You can see even with the plastic on that, not much is touching the skin.

Speaker 0: Distancy like that. This stuff is amazing for joint pain. Make an ointment with me. Hi, I'm Britton Simons. I break down the science of natural remedies.
This is for joint pain, arthritis, and neuropathy. These measurements don't have to be 100% accurate. I say that because the only one that's really important is you want to keep DMSO less than 40% of the overall mixture. That's easy. So let's start off.
DMSO is well studied for pain and impaired movement. The efficacy and tolerability of DMSO gel at twenty five percent over a period of three weeks. It had clinically relevant analgesic pain relief effects with no serious adverse events. It's a subdermal carrier, which means it pulls things in your skin. That means you also have to be very careful.
Wash your hands. Don't use lotions, but powerful for natural healing. Now this is an almost three ounce glass jar, so I'm gonna do two dropper fulls. One and two. Next, our first carrier oil.
This is castor oil. You want to get hexane free in a glass bottle. The active ingredient in castor oil is ricinoleic acid, which is fantastic for inflammation. Again, ricinoleic acid, the main component of castor oil, it exerts remarkable analgesic and anti inflammatory effects. Analgesic is pain relief.
Risinoleic acid and capsaicin had similar effects on reducing inflammation. Now reminder, capsaicin is in cayenne pepper. It's an anti inflammatory. So castor oil is a capsaicin like non pungent anti inflammatory. So we're going to put just enough in to fill the bottom.
And perfect. Next we're going to do our essential oils. I added another one because I couldn't help myself. So we'll start with clove. Just make sure it's real pure essential oil and not a fragrance.
Eugenol is a compound obtained from the essential oil of cloves and it has anti arthritic effects. Clinical studies have shown that clove oil inhibited the mononuclear cell infiltration into the knee joints of arthritic mice. It lowered cytokines, interferon, and tumor growth factor. It's a topical pain killer, useful and beneficial as a supplement in treating human arthritis. Five-ten drops is fine.
One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine-ten. Eleven twelve Next up is Frankincense from Boswellia trees. Let's talk about it. Frankincense is a tree gum resin. It's been used for over six thousand years but what's really interesting, clinical research indicates that frankincense alone or in combination formulas may be beneficial for gingivitis, asthma, diabetes, IBS, a whole bunch of stuff, but especially osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and neuropathy.
Incredible stuff. Everybody should be using it. Again, we're going to do five to ten drops. And next, let's talk about eucalyptus. Inhalation alone can have incredible effects on reducing pain and improving quality of life for those that have arthritis.
In the study, the pain severity score with eucalyptus was significantly The severity of pain in the eucalyptus group was lower. Also the patient's quality of life in the eucalyptus group was increased significantly. Eucalyptus leads to pain reduction, especially in rheumatoid arthritis, where keeping it simple doesn't have to be perfect. So ten drops again. You can do less or more depending on how much you like the fragrance.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Starting to smell really good. That's it for essential oils. Let's move on. Next, we're going to add in magnesium oil.
This is magnesium chloride use whatever brand you prefer want to do about equal to our castor oil. And perfect. Alright, my hands are clean. I just washed them. So I'm just going to mix it up.
You're gonna start getting a little bit of a syrupy consistency like that. It's exactly what you want. May actually feel a little bit of warmth. Okay. And then just apply it wherever you need it.
Around my elbow. Now that DMSO is going to start doing vasodilation. It's going to open up and oxygenate your blood flow and get white blood cells and healing. It's going to feel amazing, But more importantly, it's gonna help with pain. Now, if you don't care about getting messy, you're sitting at home, you just want pain relief, you can also do a little cayenne pepper that capsaicin I talked about.
Just sprinkle a little bit on and add it just like that. It looks silly, but I promise you it will help rub it in. You might feel a little bit of warmth or redness. That's totally normal. When you're done, wash your hands.
Quick note, you can add more DMSO. I personally like a little bit more, so I'm gonna add a little bit more to this recipe. It's up to you. Again, we wanna keep the percentage below 40%. If you just want the pain relief, you can always add a little bit more clove oil as well.
Let me know how it worked for you. When you're done with it, cap it off and store it in a dark place. DMSO can break down in direct sunlight, so you want to keep it as dark as possible. Not making any claims, just educational content, not medical advice. You can find all my top picks on my profile.
Incredible pain relief. I'll see you next time. Cheers. Send this video to the people that need it.

This is actually a statistic out there.' They explain that 'our brains do not, at a certain point, differentiate just the normal routine sex any different than making a sandwich. It is literally becomes a task.' The first time is 'fun,' 'exciting,' and 'new,' but the second and third times lose part of that, and 'we're fighting for that original dopamine rush.' This can result in erectile difficulties described as 'staying hard, getting it hard, finishing in a appropriate amount of time' because the brain wanders. Distractions like 'noise outside' or phone vibrates or rings worsen it. Coping strategies exist to make it more exciting. It's the 'dark side, unspoken side of ADHD'—comments.

Speaker 0: ADHD and sex. The dark side of ADHD that we never talk about. Comment down below after I'm done with this, and tell me if you know what I'm talking about. Forty percent of people out there actually get bored with their partner in the middle of sex if they have ADHD. This is actually a statistic out there.
What ends up happening when you have ADHD, our brains do not, at a certain point, differentiate just the normal routine sex any different than making a sandwich. It is literally becomes a task to our brain. That's all it is. No different than taking out the trash, no different than cleaning. Our brain literally categorizes it as a task.
That's why when you have ADHD, the first time that you have this with somebody, it's fun, it's exciting, it's new, it's and it's energizing, it's intriguing. The second time, third time, each time it loses a little bit of what it originally wasn't. It's almost like we're fighting for that original dopamine rush, that original spontaneous hit that we once got, and we're not getting that anymore. And this can result in the fact with a lot of people with ED problems such as staying hard, getting it hard, finishing in a appropriate amount of time just because our brain is literally now wandering and has gotten bored with it. It's something that a lot of times with ADHD we have a lot of guilt with because this is somebody that we love.
This is our partner. We love them and we shouldn't be feeling this way but our we can't get our brain to function any differently. Even to the point that during the process of it, if something is making a noise outside that distracts us, if our phone vibrates or rings, it distracts us. A lot of different things can easily distract us in the middle of it because it is more stimulating than what is essentially even happening at this time. Now, is something that there are lots of coping to overcome and work with to make it more exciting, but this is something that a lot of people do not share about that people struggle with with ADHD, and it's kind of the dark side, unspoken side of ADHD.

Speaker 0: Ever notice how arguments with someone who has ADHD can escalate fast? There is a reason for that, and it's not because they love drama. ADHD brains are wired for intensity. We think fast, feel deeply, and react react quickly. When emotions get high, impulsivity takes over and boom, suddenly it's an all out debate.
Here's why ADHD can turn small disagreements into big arguments. Low frustration tolerance, we get overwhelmed quickly. Rejection sensitivity, dysphoria, criticism can feel 10 times worse. Impulsivity. Sometimes we speak before we think and hyper focus on proving a point.
We might get stuck on winning. Arguing with someone with ADHD often doesn't work because it ramps up emotional intensity. They may say things impulsively and regret it later, and it can trigger shame or shut down once emotions cool off. So what should you do? No.
Stay calm. Matching their intensity makes it worse. Pause and breathe. Give space before things escalate. Use humor or distraction.
A joke can break the cycle and find the real issue. Sometimes it's not about the argument itself. Yes. ADHD braids aren't built for long debates, but with the right approach, you can avoid the spiral and actually solve the problem. Save this for later and tag someone who needs to hear it.

Modern desk life is detrimental to men's health, leading to weak muscles and sluggishness. Many believe fixing this requires extensive gym sessions, but just one focused hour a day is enough. I recommend strength training three times a week with compound lifts, walking 10–12K steps daily, prioritizing protein intake, getting morning sunlight for mood and energy, and incorporating mobility work to combat desk-related tightness. Ultimately, staying strong is essential for living life fully, and our bodies are our greatest assets to protect.

Compound movements use the most muscle per repetition. Isolation movements don't do that. Isolation movements however do allow you to use the most load per muscle. Specific targeted stress on one muscle. So if you are a beginner you probably want to focus more on compound movements, build a generalized base of strength, get the whole body working together as one unit and piece. Maybe 80% of your exercises should be compound compared to the advanced guy, probably 80% of his movement should be isolation and only 20% should be compound because he's already big and strong and can lift a lot of weight. He doesn't need to build that generalized base of strength. That's kind of how I look at it.

0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight.
a 130 grams of protein per day will max out your gains, and going beyond that has, quote, no further benefit on gains.
And if you're overweight, you should use your goal weight instead of your current weight.
How you space your protein out is less important, but eating three to six high protein meals is better than just one or two meals per day.
Try to eat some protein within a five hour window around your workout, and amino acid supplements don't seem to work as long as you're eating enough protein.
Protein sources shouldn't really matter as long as you hit your daily total, and you should count protein from all food sources.
But since animal proteins are usually higher in leucine than vegan proteins, you might wanna add a few extra grams of protein to vegan meals.

Speaker 0: How much protein should you eat per day to maximize muscle growth? Well, the latest research analyzing 49 studies found that you really only need 0.7 grams of protein per pound of body weight. So if you weigh a hundred and seventy five pounds or eighty kilos, a 130 grams of protein per day will max out your gains, and going beyond that has, quote, no further benefit on gains. Now if you're in a caloric deficit for fat loss or you wanna be extra safe, going as high as one gram per pound may provide some extra anabolic insurance, but is probably overkill. And if you're overweight, you should use your goal weight instead of your current weight.
How you space your protein out is less important, but eating three to six high protein meals is better than just one or two meals per day.

Turmeric is the most researched spice, known for its anti-inflammatory properties, immune support, and pain relief without side effects. Curcumin, its active compound, targets chronic inflammation and enhances immune response. It also promotes brain health by increasing BDNF, leading to better memory and mood. However, raw turmeric isn't easily absorbed; combining it with black pepper or healthy fats significantly boosts its effectiveness. For optimal benefits, use a curcumin extract with 95% curcuminoids, taking 500–2,000mg daily. Consistency is key for overall wellness.

Turmeric may be more effective than anti inflammatory medication for joint pain. Curcuminoids, especially curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, possesses many pharmacological benefits, including anti inflammatory effects, antioxidative effects, pain reduction, and swelling reduction. This meta analysis compiled data from 11 randomized controlled trials and over 1,200 participants. They assessed how curcumin supplementation compared to nonsteroidal anti inflammatory drugs or NSAIDs for managing knee osteoarthritis. Results showed that both high and low doses of curcuminoids reduced joint pain in knee osteoarthritis cases. Plus, both doses performed better than NSAIDs like ibuprofen. So turmeric supplements in doses of around one thousand milligrams daily is likely to reduce joint pain in cases of knee osteoarthritis and may be more effective than traditional pharmacological methods of treating joint pain.

Speaker 0: Today, I'm testing apple cider vinegar in pizza to see if it'll help reduce a blood sugar spike. Previously, I tested pizza by itself and pizza with a salad beforehand. And today, I'm gonna test apple cider vinegar to see if it's gonna reduce a blood sugar spike. To do this, I'm gonna take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar mixed with eight ounces of water. I'm gonna drink the vinegar water first, and then I'm gonna eat the pizza.
I've done the apple cider vinegar test before, and it had some pretty good results, so I'm hoping today is gonna be the same. Okay. Now it's time for the pizza. Alright. It's been a few hours.
Let's have a look at the previous results first. This is the pizza by itself. It went up sixty six milligrams, which is a big spike. And this is the pizza with a salad beforehand. That went up forty nine milligrams, which is better.
And now let's look at today's results with the apple cider vinegar. You can see here there's a big difference. These are the best results of all. The spike here only went up thirty nine milligrams, which is a really good result. And what's really important to look at here with all of these tests is the amount of time that I'm spending in that red zone.
And you can see here with the apple cider vinegar, there's much less time spent than there was in the other two tests, especially the test without anything at all, just the pizza. Pizza by itself is not good for me, but the apple cider vinegar really does a great job of reducing a blood sugar spike for me. Remember that individual results will vary. This stuff works really well for me, but you should always test it for yourself to be certain. Stay tuned for more.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Snoring can indicate an obstructed airflow, and if it's not corrected it can lead to numerous health issues. People that sleep or breathe with their mouth open tend to suffer from numerous digestive problems, chronic fatigue, morning headaches, frequent sore throats, and brain fog. First, you should talk to your doctor about potentially conducting a sleep study to rule out sleep apnea. You should also consult a knowledgeable dentist to address narrow jaw and crowded teeth. In the meantime, a great place to start is to tape your mouth at night, especially if you're a habitual mouth breather. Taping your mouth retrains your body to breathe through the nose. Elevating your head when you sleep also helps, as well as regularly using saline sprays to keep the sinuses open and clear.

So breathing is fundamental. I postulate it's the first nutrition next to sunlight itself. And so you want your breathing mechanics optimized. I put all this in my online course, Breath is Life. And so optimizing the breathing is very important.
And the first step is awareness. This is how I healed my own breathing patterns. I was riding a bike and I was paying attention and I know to breathe into my pelvic floor and I noticed that I was mouth breathing and I was neck breathing. And so I started to pay a lot of attention to it. So the awareness is the first step.
Then from there, and I put this on my online course, you want to be doing exercises, breath work, inhale, open up the diaphragm, exhale slowly so you're reprogramming the nervous system. Opening up the diaphragm, breathing fully, exhaling all the gas out of the lungs. What does that feel like? And practicing this, this is going to take a little while if you are a neck breather or a mouth breather, it's going to take a little while to reprogram neurology. That is the most important thing.
Get yourself into breathing patterns that are optimized. You can also tape your mouth shut at night. Lots of research done on mouth breathing can do to the body. It creates diseases quickly. And so tape your mouth shut at night.

Whether it is a saline spray, a neti pot, or gargling in the back of your mouth, you need to do something so you can actually breathe your nose whatsoever. Step two is to suction your tongue to the roof of your mouth. Just don't place it there. Think of it like getting peanut butter off the roof of your mouth. It should look like this. And you can get a click if you do it right. Step three is alternate nasal breathing: You breathe in through one nostril, switch, breathe out through the other, breathe in, breathe out, and you do that back and forth. Do that for about five to ten minutes before bed, and you'll breathe well and sleep well. For more free tips, get the free guide at apneareset.com.

1️⃣ Burns fat without hunger → Boosts fat oxidation by up to 300% → Elevates metabolism for 14+ hours → Keeps appetite in check naturally https://t.co/S9otPqHivJ
Video Transcript AI Summary
As a reminder, walking is the very best exercise for fat loss, hands down. It's better than running or CrossFit or anything high intensity that increases your cortisol levels. A lot of people ask about weightlifting. And even though I like weightlifting, if you're eating enough to build new muscle it doesn't matter much for fat loss because even a lot of extra muscle doesn't increase your daily burn by much per day. And you really do the math. Plus, if you're weightlifting and not eating enough, which is most of you, you're just stripping your own muscle tissue and slowing your metabolism over time. If you want to increase your fat burning bonus, improve your sleep, walk for ten minutes after each meal and as much as an hour per day. Just do what's sustainable for you for fourteen days and you'll be amazed by how you feel.

2️⃣ Supercharges insulin sensitivity → Improves it by 60% in just 7 days → Stabilizes blood sugar → Prevents crashes, weight gain, brain fog, and inflammation https://t.co/tD7PHCVDbm
Video Transcript AI Summary
Moderate exercise, even like walking at about three miles an hour, stimulates your muscles and opens up the glucose channels, and they'll use up that sugar in your bloodstream for energy.
And the interesting fact is that your sugar channels stay open anywhere from twenty four to forty eight hours after exercise and that helps maintain that blood sugar levels.
So a moderate pace to walk will make your muscles more insulin sensitive and that's a good thing for people that have insulin resistance issues like type two diabetes or PCOS.
So try a ten to fifteen minute walk after every large meal and get yourselves more insulin sensitive that will help lower your blood sugar levels.
Hope this helps. So keep walking and like, share, and follow for more.

Speaker 0: Do you want to learn the fastest way to lower your blood sugar levels? Well, walk with me. Moderate exercise, even like walking at about three miles an hour, stimulates your muscles and opens up the glucose channels, and they'll use up that sugar in your bloodstream for energy. And the interesting fact is that your sugar channels stay open anywhere from twenty four to forty eight hours after exercise and that helps maintain that blood sugar levels. So a moderate pace to walk will make your muscles more insulin sensitive and that's a good thing for people that have insulin resistance issues like type two diabetes or PCOS.
While walking, you're using some of the largest muscles we have, your quadriceps, your quads, your hamstrings, and your glutes. Using these muscles will actually need more sugar or energy, and that will help lower your blood sugar levels. So try a ten to fifteen minute walk after every large meal and get yourselves more insulin sensitive that will help lower your blood sugar levels. Hope this helps. So keep walking and like, share, and follow for more.

Video Transcript AI Summary
This is what exercise does to your brain. The bottom image is the scan of the brain of the person that was walking for twenty minutes; there’s a significantly higher amount of brain activity. In 02/2009, Chuck Hillman from the University of Illinois decided to run a test to see if this meant exercise could make somebody smarter. 20 test subjects were evaluated on three areas. What they found was that the individuals that walked for twenty minutes had a significantly increased level of performance in reading comprehension. The results also indicated an improvement in response accuracy in addition to better performance in academic achievement tests, all of which was seen after twenty minutes of aerobic exercise. And so the authors concluded that this could potentially improve the cognitive control of attention within preadolescence.

The top image is the level of activity seen in the brain of a person that was resting for twenty minutes, but the bottom image is the scan of the brain of the person that was walking for twenty minutes. What you can see is that in the bottom image, there's a significantly higher amount of brain activity. But what does this mean exactly? In 02/2009, Chuck Hillman from the University of Illinois decided to run a test to see if this meant exercise could make somebody smarter.
20 test subjects were evaluated on three areas. What they found was that the individuals that walked for twenty minutes had a significantly increased level of performance in reading comprehension. And the results also indicated an improvement in response accuracy in addition to better performance in academic achievement tests, all of which was seen after twenty minutes of aerobic exercise. And so the authors concluded that this could potentially improve the cognitive control of attention within preadolescence. Basically means that there could be an increased amount of attention during classes and possibly improved academic performance as well.
Now, this is just one study of several that promotes exercise in support of cognitive health. And exercise in general is extremely important for long term brain health in young individuals as well as the elderly.

I want to share some insights on how to protect my joints from daily habits that can cause damage. I learned that wearing the wrong shoes, sitting too long, and having weak muscles can all contribute to joint pain. I need to focus on mobility, maintain a healthy weight, and eat anti-inflammatory foods. Prioritizing sleep and staying hydrated are also crucial for joint health. Ignoring early signs of discomfort can lead to bigger issues, so I’ll pay attention and take action to stay pain-free for years to come.
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
Your joints don’t hurt because you’re old. They hurt because of daily habits that damage them—often without you realizing. Here are 10 silent joint-destroying habits (and exactly how to fix them) before it’s too late: 🧵 https://t.co/FyIoxmQ8Aw
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
1. You’re wearing the wrong shoes Most shoes wreck joint alignment. • Narrow toes • Thick heels • Zero flexibility They distort your gait and stress your knees. Fix: Wear flat, flexible, wide-toe shoes like Xero, Vivobarefoot, or Lems. https://t.co/Xl0wD4XeEE
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
2. Sitting too long kills lubrication Joints need movement to circulate synovial fluid. Hours of sitting = stiff, dried-out cartilage. Over time? Breakdown and pain. Fix: Stand or stretch every 30 minutes. Walk post-meals. Micro-movements matter. https://t.co/P9oIJRw72B
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
3. Weak muscles, stressed joints Muscles are joint shock absorbers. If you’re not strong, every impact goes straight to bone and cartilage. Fix: Strength train 2–3x/week. Use bodyweight, dumbbells, or bands. https://t.co/I1fVFvr6Kg
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
4. Collagen decline = joint decline After 25, collagen production drops—and your joints suffer. It’s the backbone of cartilage and ligaments. Fix: Eat collagen-rich foods or take hydrolyzed collagen + Vitamin C daily. https://t.co/oyeqaqMtO1
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
5. Mobility isn't optional Joints lose range when unused. Neglecting mobility = stiffness, compensation, and pain during everyday tasks. Fix: Spend 5–10 minutes daily on hip, ankle, and shoulder mobility drills. https://t.co/7FEPttp5SD
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
6. Extra weight, extra wear Fat increases joint load—especially on hips and knees. It also fuels inflammation inside the joint capsule. Fix: Drop weight with strength training + whole foods. Fat loss is joint protection. https://t.co/wCI6UdVDfU
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
7. You’re fueling inflammation Ultra-processed foods flood your body with inflammatory molecules (cytokines) that literally erode cartilage. Fix: Prioritize anti-inflammatory eating. Real food. Protein. Omega-3 fats. Colorful plants. https://t.co/7B2EoBsyVY
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
8. Poor sleep = poor repair Your joints regenerate during deep sleep. If sleep is shallow or disrupted, collagen drops, and inflammation rises. Fix: No screens before bed. Sleep in a cold, dark room. Aim for 7–9 hours. https://t.co/rVFxLUnxeQ
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
9. You’re dehydrated Cartilage is 70–80% water. Low hydration = less lubrication, more friction, more damage. Fix: Sip water all day. Add electrolytes if you’re active. Avoid dehydration cycles. https://t.co/G4fXeBKWtO
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
10. Ignoring early signs Aches, stiffness, tension—you dismiss them. Then one day, pain shows up… and by then, damage is done. Fix: Pay attention. Mobility work, early rehab, and strength fix problems before they start. https://t.co/72WE985qBB
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
The Bottom Line You don’t get a second set of joints. Protect what you’ve got by fixing: • Your movement • Your meals • Your recovery • Your hydration • Your strength Take action now—and stay pain-free for decades.

Speaker 0: Anti inflammatory foods. Now many of you guys know I'm a big fan of reducing inflammation and doing it first with food, because food is the first place you should start, proper diet is essential to good health, and your food should become like your medicine. It's the first place to start before reaching for surgery, drugs or anything else. So let's talk about why this is important. Well, lot of medical conditions are actually associated with inflammation.
A lot of people now know that coronary disease is actually an inflammatory disease And other diseases such as Alzheimer's, asthma, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis, certain types of other arthritis are also inflammatory disease. But did you know that type two diabetes is also thought to be an inflammatory disease as well? This is a big deal, and the first place you want to start is consuming foods that are going to lower inflammation in your body. Are you surprised the top two categories of food that do that are going to be fruits and vegetables? Common sense, right?
Now let's start with fruits. There's a top tier of fruits that I talk about that are reducing inflammation, and I highly encourage you to increase your intake. These are things like pomegranate, blueberries, and acai, which are very potent anti inflammatories. But there's a second tier of fruits that I also highly recommend. Let's talk about the top five.
Here we go. Number five, oranges. Delicious, full of citrus and vitamin C and great at reducing inflammation. Number four, pink grapefruit. I eat it almost every day, great for reducing inflammation as well.
Number three, kiwi fruit. You guys in New Zealand knew what you were doing. Delicious and you can put it in almost everything. Number two, cantaloupes. Cantaloupes are great at reducing inflammation.
And of course, number one, may not be surprising to some of you guys out there, pineapples. For you guys out there who add pineapple in your diet, I highly encourage you to keep doing so. It's great. Let's talk about the top 10 vegetables that you should include in your diet. All right.
Number 10, cauliflower. Great at reducing inflammation. Number nine, spinach. Loaded with iron and incredibly good for you as well. Number eight, peppers, green and red peppers, fantastic, great at reducing inflammation, and I highly encourage you to consume this as much as you can.
Number seven, broccoli, a really potent anti inflammatory. Number six, avocados. Here in California, we eat them all the time, I'm a little partial. Number five, kale. If you can consume kale, try to do more of it.
Alright? Number four, collard greens. You guys in the South, you know what's up. Collard greens are fantastic at reducing inflammation. Number three, sweet potatoes.
I include these in almost everything whenever I can. Number two, carrots, not just for Bugs Bunny, but also something you should include in your diet. And number one surprise, onions. Onions, yes, onions are potent anti inflammatory agents that can really help reduce the risk of many diseases when you consume them regularly in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and exercise.

4️⃣ Swap HIIT for Zone 2 cardio High stress + high intensity = nervous system burnout. Instead: → Lift 3x/week → Walk daily → 2x/week Zone 2 cardio Build longevity while keeping inflammation low. https://t.co/AvVznOdsNM
Video Transcript AI Summary
Zone two cardio is 60 to 70% of your max heart rate. This should feel easy; you can maintain conversation and a light sweat. It's great for fat loss because 'it's using fat as its primary source of energy' and 'it's easy and sustainable,' and 'doesn't put too much stress on your body.' There is a time and place for high intensity training; you have to be a bit more tactical about where you fit it in your sessions because you are putting your body under stress and you want to make sure that you're not overtraining. Zone two can be done in addition to your current sessions—'at the end of your strength sessions' and 'on your rest days as a form of active recovery.' Examples: incline walk, cycle, brisk walk, jog or StairMaster, staying within '60% to 70%' range. Calculation: '220 minus your age' to estimate max, then multiply by 0.6 and 0.7 to get the range. Staying in range supports fat loss and improves aerobic capacity.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: What is Zone two cardio and why is it a great tool if you have the goal of fat loss? Zone two training is where you're working at 60 to 70% of your max heart rate. So this is something that should feel fairly easy. You should be able to maintain conversation and it should bring on a light sweat. Now, the reason it's great for fat loss is firstly, it's using fat as its primary source of energy, but it's also something that feels easy and sustainable and it doesn't put too much stress on your body Now, so many of you think that when you have the goal of fat loss, you need to opt for something that's high intensity in order to lose body fat But there is definitely a time and a place for high intensity training You have to be a bit more tactical about where you fit it in your sessions because you are putting your body under stress and you want to make sure that you're not overtraining.
Whereas something like Zone two can be done in addition to your current sessions, so maybe at the end of your strength sessions, and also on your rest days as a form of active recovery. This can look like something like an incline walk on the treadmill, sitting on the bike, going for a brisk walk. It could also include something like a jog or walking on the StairMaster, but you need to make sure that you are staying within that 60% to 70% range. So, to work that out, you're going to take the number two twenty and take your age away from that number. So two twenty minuteus your age, for me, that gives me the number 100 '93.
I'm then going to times that number by zero point six and zero point seven which for me gives me 01/1635. So for myself, if I'm doing Zone two, I need to be staying within that range, no higher, no lower. So something like a walk is going to be on the lower end and something like the StairMaster is going to be more on the higher end but as long as you're staying within that range you're not going be putting your body under stress you're to be optimizing fat loss and you're also going to be improving your aerobic capacity

Hydration isn't just about drinking water.
Most people think hydration is as simple as drinking more water, but here's what they're missing.
Hydration is about balance, not value.
You can drink a gallon of water a day, but if your body doesn't have enough minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, that water isn't gonna do much for you.
In fact, overhydrating without replenishing electrolytes can leave you feeling worse, fatigued, bloated, or even dizzy.
Your body needs electrolytes to absorb and use water effectively.
Without them, your cells can't hold on to water that you're drinking.
This is why some people can drink tons of water and still feel dehydrated.
So start your day with a glass of water and a pinch of high quality sea salt or an electrolyte supplement.

Speaker 0: Hydration isn't just about drinking water. Most people think hydration is as simple as drinking more water, but here's what they're missing. Hydration is about balance, not value. You can drink a gallon of water a day, but if your body doesn't have enough minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, that water isn't gonna do much for you. In fact, overhydrating without replenishing electrolytes can leave you feeling worse, fatigued, bloated, or even dizzy.
Here's why this matters. Your body needs electrolytes to absorb and use water effectively. Without them, your cells can't hold on to water that you're drinking. This is why some people can drink tons of water and still feel dehydrated. So start your day with a glass of water and a pinch of high quality sea salt or an electrolyte supplement.
This replenishes what your body lost overnight and sets you up for better hydration throughout the day.

7️⃣ Test, then address the root Inflammation isn’t “just aging.” Check: → hsCRP → Fasting insulin + cortisol → Free T + SHBG Find the cause. Then fix it.. https://t.co/kyP21yjpr3
Video Transcript AI Summary
Two specific blood tests: HSCRP and homocysteine. An inflammatory protein abbreviated as HSCRP, which stands for high sensitivity C reactive protein, if elevated above three, can triple your risk of a heart attack. And homocysteine, when your levels climb above 15, you dramatically increase your risk of stroke, cognitive decline, and early dementia. Nine out of ten standard yearly preventative workups don't test for either of these, even though both biomarkers are inexpensive, well researched, and incredibly predictive of future disease. The markers are highly modifiable. I've seen patients drop their high sensitivity CRP from over three to under one and cut their homocysteine nearly in half in just a few weeks. No drugs, just targeted changes. By dialing in anti inflammatory peptides, optimizing methylated B vitamins, cleaning up seed oils, boosting omega-3s, and dialing in deep restorative sleep. Then retest.

Speaker 0: You want to make absolutely sure that inflammation never wrecks your heart, clogs your brain, or silently shortens your life. You need to know about two specific blood tests. Most doctors skip them, but they could save your life. I'm Doctor. Voss, a longevity doctor with an MD from Cornell, and here's the truth.
An inflammatory protein abbreviated as HSCRP, which stands for high sensitivity C reactive protein, if elevated above three, can triple your risk of a heart attack. That's not a maybe, that's a well established data back risk. And then there's homocysteine, a different type of silent threat. When your levels of homocysteine climb above 15, you dramatically increase your risk of stroke, cognitive decline, and early dementia. Why?
Because it can start choking off the blood flow of your brain and damage the internal linings of your arteries. Now here's the shocking part. Nine out of ten standard yearly preventative workups don't test for either of these, even though both biomarkers are inexpensive, well researched, and incredibly predictive of future disease. Think of high sensitivity CRP and homocysteine like your body's internal smoke detectors. High sensitivity CRP tells you how much inflammation is actively burning inside your arteries right now.
Homocysteine shows whether your body's detox and methylation pathways are getting blocked, leaving your system more toxic and your blood vessels more vulnerable. And the good news, these markers are highly modifiable. I've seen patients drop their high sensitivity CRP from over three to under one and cut their homocysteine nearly in half in just a few weeks. No drugs, just targeted changes. By dialing in anti inflammatory peptides, optimizing methylated B vitamins, cleaning up seed oils, boosting omega-3s, and dialing in deep restorative sleep.
Then retest. Optimized high sensitivity CRP and homocysteine means normalized systemic inflammation, which equals no silent fire. All that can come from one smart lab order, a simple blood test asking for high sensitivity CRP and homocysteine together. No imaging, no MRI, no guesswork. If you care about your heart, your brain, and your long term energy, these are two of the tests that need to be on your radar.
They're overlooked by most and give an actionable roadmap to staying fire free, inflammation free, and fully optimized for life. If you have any questions on this topic, let me know in the comments.

Alcohol isn't harmless; it can significantly hinder my progress. Even moderate drinking shuts down fat-burning, wrecks my sleep, crushes testosterone levels, triggers cravings, and damages gut health. My liver prioritizes clearing alcohol, which means fat-burning drops, recovery stalls, and I wake up groggy. To combat this, I eliminate alcohol for 30 days to reset my body, then reintroduce it mindfully, limiting myself to a few drinks at a time. This way, I can maintain better control over my health and performance.

Alcohol stops fat loss for twenty four to thirty six hours because it's a toxin. When you ingest it, your liver has to process it right away. Therefore, it does not have time for any of the food you ate before, nor does it have time for the food you eat after. So guess what happens? It pretty much gets stored to fat. the protein you're trying to eat, the protein synthesis goes down, oh, like 60% or something. I only drink three times a year now. Number one, I was drinking two to three times per week. I was under eating during the week and overeating on the weekend and that ended up very fluffy for me. the third thing that was going wrong with me was my thyroid.

Okay. I'm gonna go into why. It's a toxin. So when you ingest it, your liver has to process it right away. Therefore, it does not have time for any of the food you ate before, nor does it have time for the food you eat after.
So guess what happens? It pretty much gets stored to fat. And that workout you did that day, the protein you're trying to eat, the protein synthesis goes down, oh, like 60% or something. It's horrible. So this is why I only drink three times a year now because let me show you this book here when I was this fluffy, three mistakes that I was making.
Number one, I was drinking two to three times per week. And guess what? Yeah, that didn't end well. I was under eating during the week and overeating on the weekend and that ended up very fluffy for me. It doesn't end well.

I just listened to Joe Rogan interview Dr. Mary Bowden, who shared alarming insights about COVID and the healthcare system. She revealed that hospitals used morphine for lethal doses, and there was a planned smear campaign against Ivermectin. Monoclonal antibodies were effective but restricted, and breathing treatments like Budesonide were banned. Medical boards targeted dissenting doctors, and vaccine injuries are prevalent yet ignored. In Canada, many vaccine-injured individuals were offered assisted suicide instead of care. Over 500 new mRNA shots are on the way, raising serious concerns for the future.

And that was such a learning experience for me because normally if somebody walked into my office with an oxygen saturation in the low 80s, I would call an ambulance. But I had patients who were refusing to go to the hospital, and I had to give them the option to possibly die in my office, which is scary. But we saved them.

"But, you know, in my opinion, they did that on purpose." They claim the government did that "to encourage people to take the the COVID shot." They assert timing: "If you look at the timing, in March, the government put out the big information on ivermectin and why you should not take it for COVID. They put that on the FDA's website."

And it really impacted everybody, and we cannot sweep it under the rug. And we need the new administration to step up and do something because the next you know, they have 500 mRNA shots in the pipeline.
33 of those are self amplifying, which is just really terrifying. What does that mean? Meaning, like, they're designed to continue to replicate indefinitely. I mean, already the ones we have, we don't have an off switch, and this is like no off switch on steroids. They have them in Japan and India and The EU already.

I came across some fascinating research from UC Irvine about a combination of green tea and Vitamin B3 that may help aging brains. This blend restores guanosine triphosphate (GTP), which is essential for brain energy and supports autophagy, the brain's cleanup system. In lab tests, it reversed age-related cell decline and cleared amyloid proteins linked to Alzheimer’s. While early trials suggest oral nicotinamide isn't the best delivery method, exploring better options could enhance brain health and resilience as we age.

Two natural compounds, vitamin B3 and green tea antioxidants, can actually help aging brain cells clean themselves. As we get older, our brain cells lose energy and can't remove harmful proteins linked to Alzheimer's. They restore that energy and get the brain's cleanup crew working again. In just twenty four hours this recent study showed that brain cells started working like they were young again. They cleared out the bad stuff and boosted their energy levels.

Autophagy is the body cleaning house. When you are not eating and the food has been digested, your body then has to find other fuel sources, and a good amount of energy is used for digestion and the immune system as well. When your body is not now looking at all the different foods you ate and how to break it down, it can actually scavenge the body. And it does, and it looks for weak mitochondria. It looks for bacteria. It looks for viruses. It looks for cancer cells. It looks for weak dead cells. It looks for senolytic based cells, like zombie cells, and it cleans all those up. It literally engulfs or breaks down those cells. So it's it's a remarkable system that our body has built in for us, and that happens while we are fasting.

Speaker 0: How to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease by forty three percent with a simple drink is green tea. So here's the research. A study of 1,000 Japanese people found that those who drank two cups or more of green tea a day had a forty four percent decrease in their symptoms of dementia. That's really cool. Green tea is also known to be really good for the skin.
It is anti inflammatory. Inflammation is one of the primary causes of aging. It's also neuroprotective because of the anti inflammatory effects. Green tea is also good for the skin. Green tea also increases metabolism, which can help burn fat.
All of those are really cool. And here's something even better than green tea. Actually, potentially 10 times better than green tea. It is called matcha. So matcha is your whole green tea leaves ground up, and then you put them in your drink as a powder.
This has 10 times the antioxidants of green tea. Now it does taste a little bit difficult. It's a little bitter. I like to add it to my smoothie because it's it's hard to drink. But matcha has 10 times the antioxidants on average as green tea.
So green tea is absolutely great for your brain. Green tea supplements are good. Two cups of green tea a day. Great for the brain. And matcha, potentially 10 times better.
I like to add that to my smoothie. I add a little stevia to that to make it more palatable, but those are just two ways to get a lot of healthy antioxidants and anti inflammatories into your body and help protect your brain from Alzheimer's disease.

This is not a goblet squat. If yours look like this, I know you got lower back pain. Stop doing it on flat surfaces. To boost quad activation, place a plate behind the heels; elevating the feet improves knee flexion. Feet should be about hip-width apart to allow deeper ROM; a stance that's too narrow or wide limits movement. Hold the dumbbells with elbows tucked under you to stabilize the weight and avoid flare. Keep the torso upright with a neutral spine to reduce lower back strain and emphasize the quads. Move slowly and with control through a full ROM, then return to standing tall. This is how you do a goblet squat. For more tips like this, you already know how to grow; that's work.

Speaker 0: This is not a goblet squat. And if yours look like this, I know you got lower back pain. So let me show you how to do it the right way because this is not the way to go. See, the first thing you wanna do is stop doing it on flat surfaces. It's okay.
But to get better activation on the quads, I will put a plate behind me because once our feet are elevated, we get better knee flexion, which is gonna target the quads more effective. And now that we got a plate on our heels, it's all about feet placement. You don't wanna be too narrow here in your stance because your range of motion is gonna be limited in what you can actually get out of the movement. So you wanna have your feet about just as wide as your hips, and it allows you to get a deeper range of motion as opposed to having my feet close. When holding the dumbbells, you don't want your elbows out here flare because you could potentially drop the weight and then I'm hurting yourself.
So bring your elbows under you, tuck them together, which is gonna help you hold the weight. Next thing, a lot of you guys experience lower back pain because once you squat here, you're leaning your torso forward while squatting. So you wanna make sure that you're keeping torso as upright as possible to really put all emphasis on the quads and take all that strain off your lower back. So let's put it all together here. We want our feet hip width apart.
We don't want it too narrow. We don't want it too wide. We're gonna grab the dumbbell here. We're gonna make sure our elbows are tucked in place to keep the dumbbell stable. We're gonna keep our torso upright.
We don't want no curvature at all in the spine. We're make sure we get good range of motion. Slow and controlled. Right back up. Keeping that spine neutral.
Slow and controlled. Boom. Just like this. This is how you do a goblet squat. So if you want more tips like this, you wanna know how to grow, well, you already know how to go.
That's work.

In the first few days, you may feel more tired than usual, but this is your body adjusting to the new level of exercise. By the end of the first week, you'll notice an improvement in your mood. Regular walking, especially outdoors, can significantly boost your mental health and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Entering the second week, your cardiovascular health begins to improve, your heart becomes stronger, and you may find that you are not breathing as quickly as before while climbing stairs or walking at a brisk pace. As you approach a month, your endurance and muscle mass improve significantly, and you continue to burn calories, which when combined with a balanced diet may lead to weight loss. By two months, walking 10,000 steps a day is likely to have become a habit. You will experience enhanced cognitive function and a stronger immune system.

Speaker 0: If you start walking 10,000 steps a day, what happens to your body? In the first few days, you may feel more tired than usual, but this is your body adjusting to the new level of exercise. Your muscles are waking up and starting to get stronger. By the end of the first week, you'll notice an improvement in your mood. Regular walking, especially outdoors, can significantly boost your mental health and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Entering the second week, your cardiovascular health begins to improve, your heart becomes stronger, and you may find that you are not breathing as quickly as before while climbing stairs or walking at a brisk pace. As you approach a month, your endurance and muscle mass improve significantly, and you continue to burn calories, which when combined with a balanced diet may lead to weight loss. Your sleep quality will also improve due to the body's movement and reduced stress levels. By two months, walking 10,000 steps a day is likely to have become a habit. You will experience enhanced cognitive function and a stronger immune system.

If I were obese and needed to lose weight quickly, I would focus on science-backed strategies rather than fad diets or medications. Key methods include temperature manipulation through cold exposure and sauna use, healing my gut with probiotics and prebiotic fiber, and incorporating small stressors for fat loss. Prioritizing protein intake, practicing portion control with visual cues, increasing fiber, staying hydrated, ensuring adequate sleep, cutting out sugar and processed foods, and moving more throughout the day are essential. Ultimately, it’s about developing sustainable habits for lasting change.

Resistance training is the best way to lose weight by exercise. Cardio is not. If you over exercise doing cardio, you're just going to affect your hormones negatively, especially things like your thyroid, and that will lower your metabolic rate and cause problems with long term weight loss. The vast majority of people who over exercise and under eat, like the people on The Biggest Loser, gain that weight back. So how do you lose weight long term and sustainably? You get more lean muscle mass, and that lean muscle mass burns calories twenty four hours a day, even when you're sleeping. Overexercising on a cardio machine is not the way to support your metabolism. Eat nutrient rich whole foods like meat and organs, fruit, honey, raw dairy, and lift something heavy, and that will help you lose weight. I promise you.

A high protein diet, even in the context of controlled calories, meaning you got two groups of people eating the same calories. Okay? But one group is high protein. The other one is low or moderate protein. Even though they're the same calories, the high protein group always leads to more muscle and less body fat.
In other words, eating more protein even with the same calories will result in more fat loss and more muscle gain or at least muscle preservation.

The best nutrition studies we have hands down are these controlled studies where they take groups of people, put them in a lab, and they say, you can eat as much as you want of these foods and you can eat as much as you want these foods. The difference is these are heavily processed foods and these are whole natural foods. And then they take those groups and they switch rooms.

How active you are, what kind of job you have, just living your everyday life as compared to exercise.
So a lot of people think that increasing their exercise is going to help them lose weight, but actually your body adapts really well and so your overall lifestyle is what's going to help you lose more weight. And so real life example, I gained about five pounds with each transition in my life. So from going to high school to college, from college to med school and from med school to residency, my weight was just steadily going like this. And some may say, Jennie, it's because you got older that you gained weight. Is it because I got older or was it because in college I no longer had PE class like I did in high school?
Or was it because in medical school I no longer walked my classes or no longer went to the clubs to dance? Or was it in residency that I stopped my hot girl walks? So, is it metabolism or is it just really your activity and your lifestyle has changed? So how do you increase your NEAT? Number one, you can try hitting a step goal.
Mine is personally 10,000. That doesn't have to be yours. Number two, you can add in a ten minute walk twice a day. And number three, do it early in the morning when you have the most least resistance. Do the hard things first so you can get it out of the way.
And number four, remember that you need to feel your body enough for it to want to move and fidget and function optimally.

Europeans often outlive Americans despite higher consumption of carbs, smoking, and drinking. The key factors for their longevity include a lower intake of ultra-processed foods, effective food labeling, and stricter food regulations. European cities promote natural movement through walkable streets and public transit, while meals are social and leisurely, enhancing digestion and reducing overeating. Overall, health stems from daily habits rather than just gym workouts.

Starting in 2027, any food products sold in Texas that contains one of 44 banned or restricted ingredients, additives, will have to carry this label. Warning. This product contains an ingredient not recommended for human consumption by authorities in The EU, UK, Canada, or Australia. Included in those 44 ingredients is bleached flour found in a lot of processed foods.
You might recognize some in this sampling. And titanium dioxide's another ingredient on the list added as a colorant to make things brighter and whiter. Classified as possibly carcinogenic in humans, it's found in over 11,000 food products, a lot of candy and stuff for kids, pretty much every processed food that's white with no warning, no disclosure, nothing. Using state law is kind of a cunning way to get around soundly constructed edicts by the federal government that can be used as protection by industries like big food and big ag. You see, if the states can put some clever rules together that don't clash with federal regulations, they can bring updated information to consumers and change things for the whole country.
Texas did it by stating what other countries have determined about the safety of certain additives and tying it to product packaging and warning label requirements for their state. Food manufacturers don't wanna make different packaging and labeling for different states, so they just change it all to comply, and every state benefits. Or they can do something else, just remove the ingredient in question. What a concept. Soon as the food industry executive caught wind of what Texas was doing, they descended on Austin like a plague.
The lobbying fury began. The money poured in by the millions, and then we hear it. Listen to state representative Barbara Girvin Hawkins. What we don't wanna do is destroy anyone's business and or create such a burden or financial cost that the cost of food will continue to rise. What a cowardly, mousy thing to say.
Freshly printed script right from big food. If we have additives in our food that are causing chronic illness, especially those targeting children, I don't care what we have to do to pull out of that infernal pit, but we gotta get out. That's like saying we can't afford to put out house fires. It costs too much money. Tell the fire department to scale down their response.
Don't you dare blame the expense of mopping up a mess on the guy doing the cleanup. If we don't pay now, we'll pay more later. So Texas didn't just make a statement. They made a strategy. So it seems everything is bigger in Texas.
And if Big Food didn't hear that loud and clear, don't mess with Texas.

Speaker 0 says, "A lot of people are like, oh, I go to Europe and I eat pasta in Italy and I feel totally fine. But when I'm here, I'm really bloated." They argue it's about "the artisanal methods of how we make our food" and that "the way that traditionally you make pasta is to slow dry it." They claim Italian pasta is not lower in gluten; "it's actually higher in gluten because it's semolina flour. It's actually a high protein. Gluten's a protein." High gluten flour gives "that beautiful bite and elasticity." Rapid temperature changes make gluten into a "tight knit sweater" rather than a "loose weave," harder for the gut to process. Brands here may say "Lenta" or "slow dried." "Oh my god. That's such a good hack."

Speaker 0: A lot of people are like, oh, I go to Europe and I eat pasta in Italy and I feel totally fine. But when I'm here, I'm really bloated. But I think it's more about, like, the artisanal methods of how we make our food. So in Italy, the way that traditionally you make pasta is to slow dry it. And people are saying, oh, well, Italian pasta is lower in gluten because of the type of flour they use.
And I'm like, it's actually higher in gluten because it's semolina flour. It's actually a high protein. Gluten's a protein. High gluten flour because you want your pasta to have that beautiful bite and elasticity. You want it to wind around a noodle properly.
When we change the temperature drastically and really quickly is that the gluten is just gonna be like much more of tight knit sweater versus, like, a nice loose weave. And that's gonna be a lot harder for our gut to process. And you can find brands that do sell here that say Lenta on the front, or it'll say slow dried. And that's just something to keep in mind. Oh my god.
That's such a good hack.

I’ve been feeling tired and noticed muscle loss despite exercising. I learned that low vitamin D could be the culprit, as it supports energy production in our cells. Many adults, especially over 40, are deficient without realizing it, leading to fatigue and weakness. To boost vitamin D, I can spend time in sunlight, eat fatty fish, mushrooms, and egg yolks, choose fortified foods, or take a D3 supplement. Additionally, getting at least 7 hours of sleep is crucial for recovery and overall health. Small changes now can help maintain my strength for years to come.

High-dose vitamin D for fourteen days—"over ten thousand, twenty thousand, even thirty thousand IUs every single day"—is said to affect more than bones: "low dose vitamin d only works on your skeletal system" and higher daily amounts could help depression, sleep, and conditions like inflammation, autoimmune diseases, arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, low back pain, and the immune system.
"Eric Berg seriously just said it's fine to take thirty thousand international units or higher of vitamin d every day. This is dangerous and stupid." He warns that "everything can be toxic at a certain dose" and cites a case of "Vitamin D abuse in pursuit of gains resulting in acute kidney injury" in a 23 year old man taking "ten thousand international units" daily to boost testosterone. He concludes that too much can cause "kidney stones, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death," and recommends sticking to under four thousand IUs a day.

Speaker 0: Happen if you took high doses of vitamin d for fourteen days? I'm talking about doses that are over ten thousand, twenty thousand, even thirty thousand IUs every single day. You have to realize that low dose vitamin d only works on your skeletal system, your bones. In order for vitamin d to work on everything else, you need higher amounts and you need daily amounts. So if you took twenty or thirty thousand IUs every single day, if you had depression, you're gonna feel much better.
Sleep will be much better as well. It would create a therapeutic effect for many different things, including the eyes, anything related to inflammation, especially autoimmune diseases, arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, low back pain, and especially the immune system.
Speaker 1: Eric Berg seriously just said it's fine to take thirty thousand international units or higher of vitamin d every day. This is just dangerous and stupid. Times cool. Remember, everything can be toxic at a certain dose. Even essential vitamins and minerals, even water.
You can find many published case reports of people overdosing on vitamin D. This one finished me. Vitamin D abuse in pursuit of gains resulting in acute kidney injury. Basically, 23 year old man had two weeks of nausea, vomiting and jaw pain. He was hospitalized and they found that his creatinine, blood pressure and calcium were all high and he had acute kidney injury.
Do you know why? Because he was taking ten thousand international units of vitamin D every day. He did this because a friend at the gym suggested vitamin D would boost his testosterone levels. Too much vitamin D can also cause kidney stones, cardiac arrhythmias, and even death. Read this for a full breakdown on the NIH site.
If you're going to supplement, please stick to under four thousand IUs a day. Glass dismissed.

That means if you can get outside for fifteen to thirty minutes every day, you have no need for a vitamin d supplement because your body will use the fat within your body to create more of the hormone vitamin d. One of the reasons I recommend people stay away from vitamin d supplements is because a lot of supplements use vitamin d two. And our bodies really would prefer to use vitamin d three.
That's just one of the reasons why sunlight exposure is so good for us. Another hormone that the sun will benefit is melatonin.

Visceral fat poses serious health risks, including increased chances of heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, regardless of outward appearance. Many individuals, including athletes, may unknowingly carry it. To combat visceral fat, focus on building muscle through compound lifts, maintain a calorie deficit without extreme dieting, prioritize protein intake, ensure adequate sleep, and stay hydrated. Addressing visceral fat is crucial for overall health, emphasizing the importance of internal well-being over mere aesthetics.

Whereas this fat that surrounds our organs is called visceral fat, and this fat can be very dangerous. This excess visceral fat is the number one risk factor for insulin resistance. And if you've got skin tags around your neck, darker skin around your neck, constant hunger, cravings, migraine headaches, mental health problems, hormonal health problems like PCOS for women and erectile dysfunction for men, then you may be one of the eighty six million American adults with insulin resistance.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Obesity is characterized by fat around the brain, neck, and heart, potentially causing sleep apnea, as well as marbled muscle mass. Visceral fat and energy problems can occur in both obese and relatively skinny individuals. A person who is 100 pounds overweight carries an extra 350,000 calories, while someone ten pounds overweight carries 35,000, but both may experience fatigue, hunger, cravings, and mental fog due to hijacked hormones.
Both may have hyperinsulinemia, preventing fat burning. The location of fat storage differs, but the root cause is the same. Lowering insulin levels allows the body to burn stored fat, improving energy levels and reducing hunger. The food industry focuses on calories, but controlling blood sugar and insulin is key. A meal that doesn't spike blood sugar leads to less insulin production, putting the body in burning mode and promoting satiety, which reduces cravings and allows the body to burn stored fat.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Here's the difference between somebody who's obese and not obese. Look at the fat around the brain and the neck. That fat around the neck makes it harder to breathe, causing sleep apnea. This heart is covered in fat. That's the difference between a healthy heart and a heart that's full of visceral fat.
Also, look at the difference in the muscle mass. That muscle mass is marbled. Looking something like that. And that muscle is not marbled. Looking something like that.
That muscle is sick. That muscle is not. Look at the stress on the stomach and organs. That pressure can cause acid reflux and GERD. However, you don't always have to be obese.
Here's somebody who looks relatively skinny, and here's someone who's obese. You notice how they both have that visceral fat. And both of these people have an energy problem. Think about it. Fat is a form of energy in your body.
And if this person's a hundred pounds overweight and that person's ten pounds overweight and one pound of fat equals 3,500 calories, this person's carrying an extra 350,000 calories on their body, and this person's carrying 35,000 calories extra on their body. But both of these people are feeling the exact same thing. They're both feeling tired, hungry, cravings, and mental fog because both of these people's hormones are completely hijacked. They both have hyperinsulinemia where their body's stuck in storage mode. So every time they eat food, their insulin's going higher and higher and higher.
And when the insulin's high, their body cannot burn fat for fuel. So for this person, it first stored it all around the outside. This person, they didn't have much room on the outside, so it started storing it around the inside. Once this person's outside fat stores got full, nuts started storing it around the inside. But the root cause is exactly the same.
Hyperinsulinemia. If both of these people can keep the insulin levels low, the body needs energy at all times. Now guess where it's gonna get it from? From the 350,000 calories this person's storing and the 35,000 calories of sick fat that this person's storing. Now their body starts using the energy properly.
They start feeling better. They're not hungry all the time, and they're able to maintain a calorie deficit easier without having to count. But the food industry won't tell you this. The food industry's got you focused all about calories. See, your body's trying to do whatever it can to control its blood sugar.
That's the amount of sugar that's supposed to be in your blood for a healthy person. Now if you eat that meal, your blood sugar skyrockets, your insulin increases, you get into storage mode, you feel hungry, you eat more. And they're the exact same calories. Compared to this meal, your blood sugar doesn't skyrocket. You don't need as much insulin.
You're in burning mode, and you stay fuller longer. You control this, which allows you to control this, which controls symptoms like these. And because you don't have the cravings, you feel better, you eat less because your body's burning this and this.

To lose fat and build muscle, dedicate one hour daily. Four days involve high-intensity weightlifting, and three days involve casual walks. Eat every three to four hours, totaling four meals a day. Each meal should contain protein and some carbohydrates. Calorie intake should be ten times your body weight. Weigh yourself daily to monitor progress. If the scale isn't moving, reduce food quantity or increase training intensity. For accountability, consider hiring a coach.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You want to lose fat and build muscle, save this guidance. Firstly, we need to get your training right. So you need to chalk out one hour from your day, every single day of the week, meaning seven days a week. On four of those days, you are going to go to the gym and hit the weights high intensity style. Okay, this is not cardio workouts.
This is high intensity weightlifting that you're going to do. The other three days of the week you can go for a casual walk. I don't need you to go running or jogging or get on the elliptical or anything like that. I just need you to go for a casual walk. After that, you need to dial in your nutrition.
I recommend you eat every three to four hours of the waking day, which gives you about four meals. Those four meals need to have protein and a little bit of carbohydrates, and they should give you a total number of calories that are a multiple of 10 times your body weight. And the third thing is if you're trying to lose fat, you need to be weighing yourself every single day as well. And that's the only way you're going to know if the diet and training is working or not. So stick to these meals exactly as written, stick to the training program and everyday weigh yourself.
And if the scale is not moving, then you need to reduce the food quantity or increase the intensity of training. It can be that simple, but the problem comes down to accountability for which I always recommend you hire a coach.

4. Calorie deficit—but don’t crash You must eat less than you burn to lose fat. But don’t starve yourself. It backfires. → Use a TDEE calculator → Subtract 300–500 calories → Track & stay consistent Small deficits. Big wins. https://t.co/lGESm6qJnz
Video Transcript AI Summary
To lose fat, create a calorie deficit by eating less than your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). Without proper methods, you risk losing muscle, leading to a slower metabolism and a soft physique.
Signal your body to retain muscle through strength training, ideally full body workouts three times a week. Consume adequate protein, between 0.7 to 1 gram per pound of body weight, to build and repair muscle. Protein has a high thermic effect and is satiating.
To ease your calorie deficit, stay active with a daily step count goal and prioritize real food to reduce cravings. Avoid crash dieting with large deficits. Maintain the deficit for a maximum of twelve weeks before taking a break.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Calorie deficit for dummies. Here's you with your long torso and your big ass feet. Every day, you burn calories from doing everything. The total amount of calories you burn is your total daily energy expenditure made up of everything from breathing, farting, exercise, cooking, your organs just literally functioning. Now, let's say you do a TDEE calculator.
The estimate it gives you, you're burning around 2,200 calories per day. If you eat less than this number, then your body has to pull that energy from somewhere else, ideally stored body fat. So if 2,200 calories was your maintenance calories and you started eating 1,800 calories, you are now in a 400 calorie deficit. Here's the thing. If you don't do it the right way, you can lose other things like muscle too, which you don't want to do because number one, health and longevity and aging.
But two, you're going to get to the end of your fat loss phase and think that you look like a saggy fettuccine. So if you just decide you're going to eat less, you're not going to worry about protein or lifting weights, You're not giving your body any reason to hold on to muscle, so it'll lose that too. And what's that causing is a slowed metabolism, a soft physique, and overall just worse health outcomes. Because trust me, future older you is going to benefit from being stronger and having more muscle mass. Now, how do we tell our brain, hey, I know I'm eating less, but I still need the muscle?
We give it the signal by strength training. Start with something like three times a week, full body. Now we're doing the strength training, but what do we need to eat to make sure that this shit works? Adequate protein. Protein provides the amino acids that your body needs to build and repair those muscles, making you look leaner.
It has the highest thermic effect out of all macronutrients. Out of protein, fats, and carbs, your body burns the most amount of calories digesting protein. It is incredibly satiating. When was the last time you accidentally ate 1,000 calories of an oven roasted chicken breast when it didn't come out of a KFC bucket? It's pretty rare.
How much protein? Anywhere between 0.7 to one gram per pound of your current body weight. Now, how can we make your calorie deficit as easy as possible? Stay active. Things like having a daily step count goal are gonna keep you accountable, help your body burn more calories throughout the day without spiking hunger and doing crazy HIIT workouts.
Don't crash diet. Don't do some thousand calorie deficit and hope for the best because if it was that easy, we would all do it. Prioritize real food so that your body's actually getting what it needs, so your cravings aren't fucking your life up. Don't just choose skinny, choose health. Ideally, you do it for a maximum of about twelve weeks before you take a break because you cannot be in a deficit forever.
Your body is adapting slowly, so you got to take breaks. And at the end of it, you will have smaller feet.

5. Prioritize protein—every meal Protein boosts metabolism and slashes cravings. → 0.8–1g per pound of bodyweight → Eggs, lean meat, Greek yogurt, whey → Build meals around protein—not carbs Want less hunger and better focus? Eat more protein. https://t.co/1eN3zfkoTJ

A high protein, low calorie diet is good for fast fat loss and muscle building. The recommended approach is five to eight ounces of protein at every meal with vegetables, such as chicken breast and vegetables. If including carbs like rice or potatoes, limit the portion to a half a cup or less, and not at every meal. For snacks, fruit is a good option.

Speaker 0: High protein, low calorie diet is good if you're trying to lose body fat fast and build muscle at the same time. So the way I like to do it is by having five to eight ounces of protein at every meal with a of vegetables. So an example, it could be five to eight ounces of chicken breasts with a side of vegetables, and you can do that for every meal, or you can pick another source of protein. Next, if I'm going to do carbs like rice or potatoes, then I do a small portion. So if I feel like having rice, the most I'll eat is a half a cup of rice.
And I don't do it at every meal. And if I wanna snack on something, I'll snack on fruit.

Japanese consume fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, and unprocessed foods, resulting in a low obesity rate of 3.6%.
They consume a lot of fish, which has lower cholesterol than red meat, reducing the risk of heart disease by 36%. Tea consumption is high, providing more antioxidants than coffee. The Japanese consume 100,000 tons of seaweed per year. Seaweed contains iodine, which regulates thyroids, and two to nine grams of protein per cup.
Japanese people stay active by walking or biking. 85% take hot baths, which detoxifies, reduces inflammation, relieves stress, improves circulation, and boosts the immune system. Japan's healthcare system covers 70-90% of costs. Portion control is practiced, aiding weight management and digestion. The elderly are respected, helping them enjoy life and live longer.

Speaker 0: Why do people in Japan live longer? Over 2,000,000 people in Japan are older than 90, and more than 70,000 people are 100 years old or over. The average life expectancy in Japan is 84.2, with men living up to 81.1 on average and women living up to 87.1 years on average. Contrary to popular belief, Japanese people's longevity is not due to their genes, but rather their lifestyle habits and food choices. Japanese people consume lots of fresh vegetables, seasonal fruits, and unprocessed foods, leading to an obesity rate of just three point six percent, the lowest in the entire world.
They also love seafood, with Japan ranking among the top six nations for fish consumption. Fish naturally has lower cholesterol and saturated fat compared to red meat, reducing the risk of death by heart disease by thirty six percent. One reason why Japanese people live longer is because they drink a lot of tea, which contains far more antioxidants than coffee, boosting the immune system and helping prevent cancer and excess cholesterol. Japanese people also consume a lot of soy and seaweed, with an estimated 100,000 tons of seaweed consumed in Japan every year. Seaweed contains natural iodine, which is useful for regulating thyroids, and contains somewhere between two and nine grams of protein per cup.
Japanese people stay active, often walking or biking to work, and older people in Japan continue to engage in physical activity for as long as they can. About eighty five percent of Japanese people end their day in a hot bath, which allows for detoxification through sweating, reduces inflammation, relieves stress, improves circulation, and boosts the immune system. Japan also has one of the most efficient health care systems in the world. The government pays 70% of the cost of all health procedures and up to 90% for low income citizens. Japanese people also practice portion control, having much smaller food portions than other countries.
This habit is good for controlling body weight and digestion. In Japan, the elderly are considered as living treasures and treated with the utmost respect, helping them to enjoy their time and live longer lives.

The standard American diet yields an omega-3 index of 5%, while Japan's is around 10-11%, correlating with a five-year increase in life expectancy. Individuals with an omega-3 index of 4% or lower experienced a five-year decrease in life expectancy compared to those with an 8% index.
Smokers with no omega-3 had the worst outcomes. However, smokers who achieved an 8% omega-3 index had the same life expectancy as non-smokers with a low omega-3 index.

Speaker 0: Standard American diet has omega-three index of 5%. Japan by contrast has an omega-three index of around 10 to 11%. Big big difference there. And they also have about a five year increase life expectancy compared to people in The US. And people that had a omega-three index of 4% or lower, so close to what the standard American is, but little bit lower.
They had a five year decrease life expectancy compared to people that had an 8% omega-three index. And so big difference there, right? Five years life expectancy, but here's the really interesting thing, Andrew. He also looked at smokers and smokers and their omega-three levels. And so we stratified it, right?
And he found smokers that had no omega-three were like the worst of all. I mean, it was like, it was just like the worst, right? We all know smoking is bad for us and will take take years off our life expectancy. Absolutely. But smokers that had the high level, like smokers that were taking their fish oil or eating fish or whatever it was they were doing to get them up to 8%, They had the same life expectancy as non smokers with the low omega-three index.
Wow.

The 80% rule is inspired by the Okinawan adage Harahatchibu, which means stop eating when 80% full. This aligns with intermittent fasting principles. Studies show monkeys who eat 30% fewer calories live longer, suggesting a similar effect in humans.
A challenge is the delay between being full and feeling full. In Blue Zones, people pre-plate their food and put the rest away, eating fewer calories. This limits the amount of food available, effectively filling the stomach to 80% capacity.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: 80% rule. What does that mean?
Speaker 1: It was inspired by the Okinawan adage Harahatchibu, which essentially means stop eating when your stomach is 80% full. It's very much in step with the notion of of intermittent fasting. It's feed monkeys as much food as they want compared to a group of monkeys that get 30% fewer calories. The underfed monkeys live longer. And I believe it's the same thing with humans.
So
Speaker 0: The challenge, of course, is that there's this delay between us being actually full and feeling full.
Speaker 1: The way Haruhachi Blue shows up in the in the Blue Zone context, they tend to preplate their food and then put the rest away instead of eating family style, which occasions eating fewer calories.
Speaker 0: Oh, so in other words, I have a limited amount on my plate.
Speaker 1: Yeah. It it it affects the amount of food you're gonna So instead of thinking about stop eating when your stomach is 80% full, there's only enough food on your table to fill your stomach 80%.

Japanese researchers developed interval walking training (IWT), which may have more health benefits than regular walking. IWT involves alternating between three minutes of slow walking and three minutes of fast walking, repeated for about thirty minutes. Consistent IWT has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce depression, and cut stroke risk by forty percent.

Speaker 0: Let me show you a Japanese technique that has even more health benefits than walking. We know walking is one of the best things you can do for your health, but what if you could take it to the next level? Japanese researchers developed something called interval walking training or IWT, a simple but powerful method that has been shown to lower blood pressure, reduce depression, and even cut stroke risk by forty percent when done consistently. Here's how it works. Instead of walking at the same pace, you alternate between three minutes of slow walking, three minutes of fast walking, and keep cycling through this pattern for about thirty minutes.

The speaker and their family sleep on mattress toppers and rugs instead of mattresses. They believe sleeping on a firm, flat surface allows the body to release tension, clear toxins, and improve posture, acting as a natural massage. Being close to the ground makes it easier to engage with the ground and allows for more body movement, increasing flexibility and mobility, which leads to stronger, healthier bodies. The speaker recommends getting rid of mattresses and sleeping closer to the ground on a firm surface to strengthen the body.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Hey, guys. We're in my bedroom, and I wanna show you what we sleep on. So this is where I sleep on right here. And my son sleeps here, and my wife and daughter sleeps here. Now this is not even a mattress.
This is actually a rug. It's a it's we put a sheet on there and just wrapped it up because I like to sleep on something really, really thin. Now these are actually mattress toppers. You see there's a strap right here. They strap onto a mattress.
Here's the reason why we don't sleep on mattresses and we sleep on these toppers and mats because it's firmer. See, when we lay on the ground, the firm surface allows our body to be able to release tension because it presses against the body. It's like a natural way to massage the body. It clears tension, clears toxins, so we're a lot more healthier, and also helps us have better posture. Here's another reason why we use flat mattresses and be close to the ground so we're able to roll around.
You see, it's so much easier to engage with the ground when we are so leveled to it. We spend so much time standing up, sitting down. When we're low to the ground, it allows us to be able to bend our bodies more, allow more movement to happen, which increases flexibility, mobility, so we can create stronger, healthier bodies. So get rid of your mattresses, get closer to the ground when you sleep, and make it nice and firm to strengthen your body. Try this out, guys.

Japanese people sleep on the floor due to tradition, using tatami mats made of rice straw and futons. Space-saving is a key reason, as futons can be rolled away in small apartments. Futons are also considered safer during earthquakes compared to heavy bed frames. Additional reasons cited include cooler temperatures, better circulation, reduced back and muscle pain, improved spinal alignment, and the facilitation of co-sleeping, where families share futons. Cost-effectiveness is also a factor.

Speaker 0: Why do Japanese sleep on the floor? In the past, Japanese slept on hemp mats. These days, they use tatami mats. A tatami mat is made from rice straw. Then they lay a foot on it.
Sleeping on the floor is an old tradition. One reason is also saving space because most Japanese apartments tend to be small, and the mattress can simply be rolled away when it's not in use, leaving more living space. Futons are also safer in case of an earthquake. A heavy bed frame can cause an injury. Other reasons could be: Cooler temperatures better circulation back and muscle pain Better spinal alignment Co sleeping because Japanese families often share two or more futons spread over a tatami room with parents sleeping with their babies or young children.
And lastly, it is cheaper. Like and follow for more Japan videos!

A daily slow stroll, preferably in nature, can be very beneficial. Japan is doing research into this practice, called Shinrin yoku or forest bathing. Walking in nature helps to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and buffer the brain against the negative effects of cortisol. Cortisol is not inherently bad, but can be in excess. A daily walk can help to destress, and can change your life within a year.

Speaker 0: Which is the daily walk. Going for a nice, slow stroll, preferably in nature. You know, Japan is doing a ton of research into this. They have a beautiful name for it. It's called Shinrin yoku.
It's forest bathing. And what they're finding is that walking in nature helps to balance the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems and buffer the brain against the deleterious effects of cortisol. So cortisol itself, like, inherently is not bad. Right? Like any other hormone is not bad.
In excess, of of course, it can be. But going for that walk is unbelievable at helping to destress. I often tell my clients, like, if you go for a walk every day, in a year, you'll change your life. Just that.

Nitric oxide purportedly corrects every aspect of Alzheimer's disease. It improves cerebral blood flow and glucose uptake, addressing the metabolic component. Nitric oxide also reduces inflammation, inhibits oxidative stress, and prevents immune dysfunction seen in Alzheimer's and neurological diseases. By restoring blood flow, delivering nutrients and oxygen, and removing metabolic waste, nitric oxide prevents protein misfolding, thus preventing amyloid plaque and tau tangle formation. The speaker is convinced that nitric oxide gas will eradicate and cure Alzheimer's.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Nitric oxide corrects every single thing we know about Alzheimer's. It improves blood flow to the brain. It improves glucose uptake, it overcomes the metabolic aspect of Alzheimer's. It reduces inflammation. It inhibits the oxidative stress we see in Alzheimer's and neurological disease, and it prevents the immune dysfunction.
And when you do that, when you restore blood flow and you get nutrients and oxygen in and you take out the metabolic waste products, there's no misfolding of protein. So you don't get the amyloid plaque, you don't get the tau tangles. So this simple molecule, nitric oxide gas, I'm absolutely convinced will eradicate and cure Alzheimer's.

Sitting is the new smoking due to problems like nitric oxide depletion. To increase nitric oxide production, aim for 10,000 steps daily by parking farther away, taking stairs, and walking your dog longer. Sprinting, weight lifting, and aerobic training are also effective. Sprint and lift weights a couple of times per week. Incorporate 20-30 minutes of cardio two to three times per week to boost nitric oxide levels.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Thing is the new smoking. It is so true. There are so many problems that occur when you sit for too long, and that includes depletion of nitric oxide levels. When you move and do these specific exercises, I'm gonna share with you in a second. What an amazing way to ramp up nitric oxide production.
So number one, aim to get about 10,000 steps per day, which I typically do. When you're going grocery shopping or at the shopping mall and you're looking for the closest parking spot, forget about that. Park far and walk. Take the stairs in your building instead of the elevators. Get those steps.
Walk your dog a little bit longer. Get those steps. But as far as exercises go, the exercise that I've been proven to get you the biggest bang for your buck for nitric oxide production is going to be sprinting, weight lifting, and also aerobic training. So, yes, sprint a couple times per week, lift weights a couple times per week, and then get some aerobic training, some cardio going twenty to thirty minutes, two to three times per week, you'll boost your nitric oxide levels.

As a cardiac surgeon, the speaker avoids mouthwash for two reasons: it kills healthy bacteria in the mouth, injuring the oral environment, and this bacteria is involved in a chemical reaction that helps control blood pressure. Destroying this bacteria can cause high blood pressure, a risk factor for strokes and heart attacks.
Instead of mouthwash, the speaker recommends limiting mouth breathing, flossing or using a water pick twice a day, and brushing or scraping the tongue at least twice a day. The speaker used mouthwash for years until being educated about its potential drawbacks. Using mouthwash is a personal choice, and people should inform themselves, understand the data, and make good decisions.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Stop using mouthwash. This is one thing that I absolutely avoid as a cardiac surgeon. Two reasons. Number one, just like the remainder of your gastrointestinal tract, your mouth has healthy bacteria. By killing that bacteria, you injure the environment in your mouth.
Number two, and this I find really interesting, there's a chemical reaction with that healthy bacteria that helps control your blood pressure. By destroying that bacteria in your mouth, you actually can cause high blood pressure. High blood pressure is a risk factor for both strokes and heart attacks. Now, what can you do to keep from blowing your friends out of their shoes with bad breath? Well, there's a long list of options, but let me give you three.
The first is try to limit mouth breathing because this dries out the environment inside your mouth which is not healthy for the good bacteria. Number two, floss and or water pick twice a day. Number three, brush or scrape your tongue at least twice a day. Now, look, using mouthwash is a personal choice. I did it for many years until I was educated.

Humming can increase nitric oxide production in the body by up to 15-20 times due to vibrations stimulating special mucosal cells. This was demonstrated with sophisticated instrumentation measuring nitric oxide production in the nasal cavity. The more humming, the more nitric oxide produced.
Humming involves closing the mouth and exhaling through the nose, creating vibrations. This phenomenon occurs not only in humans but also in cows.
Humming may also stimulate the vagus nerve, promoting a calmer state. Certain yoga practices also involve humming. To maximize the benefits, inhale through the nose after humming to draw in the produced nitric oxide. Exhale through the mouth to avoid expelling the nitric oxide.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Humming stimulate, can humming create nitric oxide in the body?
Speaker 1: It absolutely can. What they discovered is that humming increases that No production by 15 fold. Not fifteen 15 times. I don't believe this. When I come to Stockholm, I want you to demonstrate that in front of me and they did.
They have devices that measure nitric oxide production in your nasal cavity, all kinds of sophisticated instrumentation, did it with no humming, they did it with a little bit of humming, they did it with lots of humming, and sure enough, the more you hummed, the more nitric oxide you produce, and it went up to 20 times.
Speaker 0: Define humming. Does it need to be in a certain tone for a certain duration? You
Speaker 1: know, closing your mouth. Okay, I'm gonna do it sort of on the air. And so, when you make that humming sound, you are exhaling through your nose, right? But you're creating tremendous vibrations. It's the vibration that stimulates these special mucosal cells to make more nitric oxide and the precise enzymatic mechanism, which I will not describe here, was worked out and they published it.
And it happens not only in humans, but it also happens, where did it happen? In cows that moo, they were able to measure the nitric oxide.
Speaker 0: Excuse me. So cows aren't mooing, they're humming.
Speaker 1: Their mouth shut. And so I didn't know this noise is a part of it's coming out of the nose, the snout, is that what you call it? And part of it is coming out of the mouth, it's both, but it's the tremendous vibration in the face causes this increase in nitric oxide.
Speaker 0: I've also heard humming being used and recommended for people to introduce a calmer state. I've heard that humming can stimulate the vagus nerve, which helps kind of activate more parasympathetic nervous system and for high stress, high anxiety, panic attack.
Speaker 1: I'm not too familiar with that, but yes, that that makes that makes good sense. And, you know, I can't practice yoga because I cannot move my limbs in those sorts of positions. That's exactly why you Maybe should not be I should try it. But anyway, there are all kinds of things I've been doing in yoga for hundreds of years.
Speaker 0: Thousands.
Speaker 1: And never knew anything about nitric oxide or humming. My wife does yoga and at the end of each yoga class, she's going that's a form of humming. Anything, right, that increases the vibration in the nose. But take advantage of that. If you get to make all those sounds and have people turn around and look at you, soon as you finish making the sound, inhale through your nose.
You just made a ton of nitric oxide. Don't waste it. Make your humming sound and then breathe in. Breathe out through your nose, you're gonna drive the nitric oxide out of your nose, but there's none in your mouth, so breathe out through your mouth.
Speaker 0: So supplement, they could just inhale, mouth exhale.
Speaker 1: Exactly. And hope the police don't come to the front door.

The conversation highlights concerns about declining testosterone levels in men, noting a 30% drop over 40 years. Environmental factors such as sedentary lifestyles, microplastics, blue light exposure, chronic stress, and synthetic chemicals are identified as contributors. The discussion criticizes testosterone replacement therapy for addressing symptoms rather than root causes. Suggestions for improvement include eliminating toxins, syncing lifestyle with natural rhythms, proper nutrition, and incorporating specific exercise routines. The emphasis is on creating optimal conditions for hormonal health.

Testosterone levels have decreased 40% in the last forty years, and this is related to diet and water consumption. Residual estrogen from birth control is present in tap water. Men are becoming more androgynous and feminine as a result. Research purportedly demonstrates that ingesting liberal men with testosterone causes their views to shift right wing.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Nail testosterone for example, the last forty years has decreased 40%. Yeah. And people think that this is just like happening and oh, I guess we just gotta figure out how to deal with it. It's totally related to what we're eating and what we're drinking. I mean, there's even like residual estrogen in our tap water because of birth control.
And so men are becoming so much more androgynous and so much more feminine. Know, there's even research that proves if you ingest liberal men with testosterone and pull them afterwards, they shift right wing on their views.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Testosterone levels are half of what they were in middle-aged men in the 1940s, and women's levels are also lower. The cause is estrogenics, or hormone disruptors, which fit hormone receptors but don't function like real hormones, effectively blocking them.
These estrogenics are pervasive and unavoidable, found in drinking water, fragrances, food, weed killers, soaps, sunscreens, and plastics. They allegedly cause weight gain, illness, disinterest in sex, and infertility. The speaker advises viewers to eliminate these estrogenics and subscribe for more information.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Everybody's talking about raising their testosterone levels. Back in the 40s, middle aged men had double the testosterone levels they have today. Women's levels are lower too. What is going on? Some of the most shocking reasons are right under our noses, but hardly anybody's talking about them.
They're called estrogenics or hormone disruptors. They fit on the same receptors, but do none of the real work that hormones do. So they're really hormone blockers, and that's a problem because they're everywhere and you can't avoid them. Estrogenics run a masterful interference operation. You're probably not even aware they're there in your drinking water, fragrances, food, weed killers, soaps, sunscreens, the plastics that you put everything in, and the list goes on.
Why do you care? Because they're making us fat, sick, disinterested in sex, and infertile. Find out who these great pretenders are in the next segment. You need to drop them like a deadbeat boyfriend. Touch subscribe to get the next video and get smart.

Research on testosterone replacement therapy's effect on the heart is inconclusive, but trends suggest it's not dangerous and may even lower cardiovascular risk through increased muscle mass and better glucose control. Side effects are dose-dependent, so monitoring total and free testosterone levels is crucial.
Testosterone can convert to estrogen, potentially causing problems. Supplements like biotin, DIM (from broccoli), and saw palmetto may help regulate this conversion. Consulting a qualified healthcare professional is highly recommended for testosterone therapy.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Testosterone replacement therapy. Good for your heart or bad for your heart? I want you to consider three things. Number one, the research is really thin as far as a conclusive answer to this question. But the trend is that testosterone therapy is certainly not dangerous for your heart, and there appears to be no increase in cardiovascular risks.
In fact, some of the newer data shows that increased muscle mass, increased activity, better serum glucose control, etcetera, actually may lower the cardiovascular risk. Number two, there clearly is a dose dependent, in other words, how much testosterone and how high your levels are, relationship between bad effects or side effects of testosterone. You need to be checking your total testosterone levels, and more importantly, your free testosterone levels because that is testosterone that's immediately available in your body. Number three. The regulation of hormones in our body is very complicated.
And in fact, testosterone that's circulating through our bodies can be converted to estrogen, particularly in the periphery, in our fat cells, etc. So some very simple over the counter supplements can help regulate this process so that testosterone is not turned into excessive estrogen causing more problems. The first is biotin. The second one is called dim, d I m, which is actually a chemical found in broccoli. And the third is saw palmetto.
Now, if you're going to decide to utilize testosterone therapy, I highly recommend that you have a qualified healthcare professional direct this for you. If you like this content, please check out our free newsletter. Click the link in the bio, and I hope you guys have a great day.

The most important thing you can do to reduce environmental exposure to hormone disruptors is to filter your drinking and cooking water. Water treatment plants are not equipped to remove ethinyl estradiol from birth control pills, which are consumed and excreted by one hundred million women worldwide. Pharmaceutical estrogens are turning up in bodies of water all over the globe, which we then draw from to drink.
Veterinarian estrogen use is more than five times the use of oral contraceptives. Municipal water companies probably aren't testing for hormones, so you have to filter them out using an activated charcoal filter or a membrane filter like in a reverse osmosis system. Different geographies will have different amounts of estrogen in the water, but even a little adds to your total estrogenic exposure. You have to have your drinking water tested to know for sure.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You want to know the most important thing you can do to reduce environmental exposure to hormone disruptors? It's filter the water you drink and cook with. Sadly, the kitchen tap in most homes spews out an estrogenic cocktail. Where does that water come from? Rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs, and groundwater.
Oh, and your recycled pee. Treat it, of course, but know this: water treatment plants are not equipped to remove ethinyl estradiol from birth control pills that one hundred million women worldwide consume and excrete every day. And that's a proper estrogen, not an imitator, and a potent one released into the water supply. I'm just saying these pharmaceutical estrogens are turning up in bodies of water all over the globe. The same bodies of water we draw from to drink.
Now I'm not opposed to oral contraception. Don't miss the point. In fact, the use of veterinarian estrogen is more than five times the use of oral contraceptives, and that was fifteen years ago. I'm sure it's more now. Heck, you and I flush natural hormones down the toilet every day.
The point is it's there in the water and water is a recycled commodity. Your municipal water company is probably not even testing for hormones. You have to filter them. That's the only way they come out. A simple activated charcoal filter will do it or a membrane filter that's in a reverse osmosis system.
Different geographies will have different amounts of estrogen in the water. Some may have next to none, but remember, even a little adds to your total estrogenic exposure. You have to have your drinking tested to know for sure.

Speaker 0: Little tip for deep sleep. It sounds crazy, but there's research on this is that if you can put your feet on grass, sand, if you can ground, it actually improves the amount of deep sleep you can get. And deep sleep is when you produce the most testosterone, you build most muscle, and so grounding can help lower cortisol. When you get your stress levels down, you can get better deep sleep.

The US population has lower testosterone than previous generations due to obesity, poor sleep, endocrine disruptors, blue lights, and a departure from natural environments and robust training. Fertility levels have also decreased.
A long-held belief that testosterone replacement therapy causes prostate cancer is not true. This idea remained unchallenged for decades until andrology experts like Abe Morganteller and Doctor Mohay Kara studied it. Low testosterone levels may worsen certain cancers, suggesting potential protective effects from testosterone. While the effect may depend on the type of cancer and other factors, testosterone replacement does not cause cancer and can be protective.

Speaker 1: Obesity. It is from our sleep habits, which I have terrible ones. It is from the potentially endocrine disruptors. It is we are under blue lights all the time. We are outside of the natural environment.
We do not train. We are no we are not robust as humans. Fertility levels have also decreased. Mhmm. The funny thing with medicine is once we get an idea, we believe that idea.
Mhmm. I'll give you an example. For the longest time, people thought testosterone replacement therapy would cause prostate cancer. Did you ever hear that?
Speaker 0: Oh, yeah. I was trying to do it because of
Speaker 1: It's not true. Nobody questioned that until the likes of, you know, the legends in the field of andrology, like Abe Morganteller or Doctor. Mohay Kara began to study this. It doesn't cause prostate cancer. And in fact, depending on the type of cancer, those that have low testosterone do worse.
There seems to be some protective effects.
Speaker 0: Really?
Speaker 1: Yes. So I I think what we have to recognize is this common theme of having an idea that remains unchallenged. For decades, people believed and probably still do that testosterone causes cancer.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I've I've always heard that it did it can increase the speed that cancer grows in the body.

@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
1. Scientists tracked the metabolism of 6,400 people from birth to age 95. What they discovered shocked everyone: Your metabolism doesn’t slow at 30, 40, or even 60. So why do we gain weight as we age? Simple: we stopped moving. https://t.co/CwfDkY1U5b
Video Transcript AI Summary
Researchers at Duke University conducted a large metabolism study, measuring changes from 8 days old to 95 years old. They found a spike in metabolism from birth to 20 years old, but then it remains constant from ages 20 to 60.
The speaker claims the reason people have a harder time losing weight after their twenties is not due to age, but because life slows down. As people grow up, get jobs, and settle into adulthood, they tend to work out less, sit more, sleep less, and carry more stress. These habits decrease the number of calories the body burns at any age. Therefore, it's harder to lose weight due to changed habits, not a mystical event after high school or college.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: We're actually talking about school opening up again in a few days. What the fuck are you talking about? She is right. Your metabolism isn't slowing down, but something else might be. Researchers at Duke University recently finished one of the biggest studies on our metabolisms ever done.
And what they found even surprised them. They measured how much it changes from when you're eight days old up all the way until you're 95 years old. As expected, they saw a big spike from when you're born up to about 20 years old. But after that, from 20 up to 60 years old, it stayed the exact same. So if it's not age, why do people have a harder time losing weight after what seems like their twenties?
Well, you might not love the answer. As you grow up, get a job, and settle into adulthood, life usually just slows down. You stop working out as much. You sit more, sleep less, and carry a lot more stress. All of these being basic things that decrease how many calories your body burns at any age.
So, yeah, it probably is harder to lose weight as you get older, but not because of some mystical event that happened once you got out of high school or college. It's because your habits changed.

2. Sitting all day is wrecking your metabolism. It’s now called “the new smoking.” You burn fewer calories. Build less muscle. Store more fat. But here’s the good news — you can fix it without hours of cardio. https://t.co/KTHaUFRxYK
Video Transcript AI Summary
Sitting for six to eight hours daily is as detrimental to health as smoking and obesity, linked to poor mental and metabolic health, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. One remedy is intense activity for 30 minutes to an hour daily, but this isn't always realistic.
Building muscle is another protective measure against a sedentary lifestyle because it dramatically improves metabolic health. Strong muscles improve insulin sensitivity, increase metabolism, and maintain mobility, countering the negative effects of prolonged sitting. Building muscle is extremely protective.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You sit for six to eight hours a day. It's as bad for your health as smoking and being obese. It's connected to poor mental health, significantly worse mental health. It's connected to poor metabolic health, so diabetes, heart disease, cancer. The first way that you can remedy this is have intense activity thirty minutes every single day at least.
So every single day, a thirty minute to an hour hard workout is what they say. Now the problem with that is it's just not realistic. The other way is to build muscle. A lot of people don't realize this, but muscle is so protective against being sedentary precisely because it dramatically improves your metabolic health. So even though you're sitting down all day long, if you have strong muscle, you're gonna have good insulin sensitivity.
You're gonna have a faster metabolism. You are going to maintain a certain level of mobility, and building muscle doesn't require every It's to counter some of those negative That's right. Effects. It's extremely protective.

Step count can get you as lean as your diet and genetics allow. Cardio burns calories, and different physical activities are roughly equivalent in this regard. Sustainability, enjoyment, and time cost are key factors when choosing an activity.
Step tracking excels in these areas. While you can get steps on a treadmill, step counting integrates into daily life. You can do business meetings, walk with your wife, walk the dog, go to the grocery store, or pace around, all while increasing your step count. It incorporates physical activity into existing routines.

Speaker 0: Just your step count can get you as lean as your dietary adherence and genetics are capable of getting it. Cardio is a way to burn calories. Any kind of physical activity is roughly equivalent for it. You just measure the amount of time that you're doing it. To me, the two big factors that stand out, maybe three, sustainability, enjoyment, and time cost competing with other activities through the day.
On these three, step tracker and step counting is, like, a huge deal. I don't wanna oversell it, but it kind of wins on all counts. Why? If you have to get 11,000 steps a day, what ends up happening is can I get on the treadmill and do 11,000 steps? Sure.
But also, can do a business meeting while I'm hands free on my phone and walk around my backyard. I can take a walk with my wife. I can walk the dog. I can go to the grocery store. I can pace around.
I can do every activity of daily living that actually accomplishes something else, and it's always adding to my step count.

Video Transcript AI Summary
To lose fat and build muscle, dedicate one hour every day to training. Four days should be high-intensity weightlifting, and three days should be casual walks. Eat four meals every three to four hours, each containing protein and some carbohydrates. Total daily calories should be ten times your body weight. Weigh yourself daily to monitor progress. If the scale isn't moving, reduce food quantity or increase training intensity. For accountability, consider hiring a coach.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You want to lose fat and build muscle, save this guidance. Firstly, we need to get your training right. So you need to chalk out one hour from your day, every single day of the week, meaning seven days a week. On four of those days, you are going to go to the gym and hit the weights high intensity style. Okay, this is not cardio workouts.
This is high intensity weightlifting that you're gonna do. The other three days of the week you can go for a casual walk. I don't need you to go running or jogging or get on the elliptical or anything like that. I just need you to go for a casual walk. After that, you need to dial in your nutrition.
I recommend you eat every three to four hours of the waking day, which gives you about four meals. Those four meals need to have protein and a little bit of carbohydrates, and they should give you a total number of calories that are a multiple of 10 times your body weight. And the third thing is if you're trying to lose fat, you need to be weighing yourself every single day as well. And that's the only way you're going to know if the diet and training is working or not. So stick to these meals exactly as written, stick to the training program and everyday weigh yourself.
And if the scale is not moving, then you need to reduce the food quantity or increase the intensity of training. It can be that simple, but the problem comes down to accountability for which I always recommend you hire a coach.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Eating protein first, followed by vegetables, then rice or dessert, can help prevent blood sugar spikes. A post-meal walk of twenty minutes can also help manage blood sugar.
The order of food consumption can also affect gluten spikes. Protein should be prioritized because many people are protein deficient. The recommendation is one gram of animal protein per pound of body weight. This is especially important for those on medications like Ozempic to avoid nausea and muscle loss.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Protein first, then eat your vegetables, and then eat your rice or your dessert. And then it works, and you don't get a spike. And if you're worried about a spike because you're obese or you know you have high blood sugar, after you eat, go for a walk for twenty minutes, and you want a high blood sugar. It's really easy. You don't have to be a massive biohacker scientist.
So the order that you eat your food in will also help with, like, your spike in gluten. And protein has to come first because most of us are so protein deficient. You should be eating one gram of animal protein per pound of body weight. It's hard to do that. And if you're on Ozempic or something similar, you have to do that because you'll be nauseous all the time, but you eat that first.
Otherwise, you lose all your muscle mass.

Video Transcript AI Summary
During deep sleep, metabolism burns fat because insulin levels are low. Poor or insufficient sleep prevents this fat burning, causing fuel accumulation. Occasional sleep disruption is manageable, but chronic stress leads to consistently poor sleep, which is exacerbated by alcohol. This results in a foggy brain, disrupted metabolism, and reduced fat burning. Inflammation increases, weakening health defenses and increasing vulnerability to illness. Chronic stress leading to poor sleep can therefore make you sick.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: The thing about deep sleep is while you're sleeping really deeply, your metabolism is also burning down fat. So you think that you're not working out during the night? You're right. You're not actually exercising, but in fact, your metabolism is burning fat. Because while you're sleeping and your insulin levels don't need to be high because you're not eating, insulin levels go down, your metabolism shifts gears.
But when you don't sleep well or you don't sleep long enough, you're not burning down that fuel. That fuel accumulates. Day or two of not good enough sleep, that's that's okay. Think about flying overseas, getting some jet lag. You gotta catch up.
Once you get catch up, you feel better. Alright? But think about this, day in and day out, chronically stressed people are never getting good sleep. Add a little booze, alcohol to the equation. You can kinda see the problems that are gonna build up.
Your brain's gonna be foggy. Your metabolism is gonna be out of whack. You're not burning as much fat from the calories that you ate during the day. Now inflammation starts to, rise in your body, and that inflammation really takes down your health defenses. And now you're much more vulnerable.
So in your own example of where chronic stress leads to poor sleep and then you get sick, no surprise.

High cortisol can negatively impact fat loss, sleep, and gut health. It acts as an alarm system but can become chronically elevated due to modern stressors like notifications and poor lifestyle choices. This leads to issues such as belly fat, muscle loss, and anxiety. Traditional medical solutions often address symptoms rather than the root cause. To manage cortisol naturally, recommendations include maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, eating whole foods, gentle exercise, setting boundaries, and getting morning sunlight. Addressing cortisol can improve overall well-being.

Cortisol is an essential hormone, not inherently bad. It wakes us up and provides energy. As a stress hormone, it burns energy and pares down muscle, making us more efficient at storing calories, which helps us survive on less. It also encourages fat storage. Chronically elevated cortisol levels can cause problems, leading to increased visceral body fat and more fat storage in the midsection.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So cortisol is known as a stress hormone. Not a bad hormone, by the way. I wanna make sure I I clear this up. I think everybody thinks we need to have no cortisol. Cortisol is an essential hormone in the body.
It wakes us up in the morning, provides us with energy. It's a stress hormone because what it does is it's a burn hormone, burns energy, tends to pair muscle down, making us more efficient calorie storing machines. In other words, it makes us makes us survive on less calories. It tends to encourage fat storage, which in the context of survival is a good thing. But if it's chronically elevated, now we can start to see problems.
High cortisol levels tend to get us to store more visceral body fat and more body fat in our midsection.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Too much cortisol may manifest as chronic back pain and headaches, as well as difficulty sleeping, including feeling tired yet awake at bedtime. Even with sufficient sleep, one may still feel fatigued. Weight gain, particularly around the abdomen, is another sign, as is increased susceptibility to colds and infections.
Cortisol imbalance can trigger sugar cravings due to fatigue, a decreased sex drive, and gut issues like cramps, constipation, or diarrhea. Heightened anxiety and a constant state of fight or flight may also indicate elevated cortisol. A free guide is offered to help relieve these symptoms; interested individuals can comment "cortisol fix" to receive it.

Cortisol, a hormone released during stress, suppresses the immune system, allowing pathogens and viruses to cause problems. Stress essentially puts the immune system to sleep, potentially causing viruses to emerge from remission, especially after major losses. In these situations, vitamins and good nutrition may be ineffective due to the overriding impact of stress.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: So we're really dealing with this hormone called cortisol, because if you were to raise your stress, the cortisol comes up, cortisol actually suppresses your immune system. So it kinda shuts it down, and it allows this pathogen, this virus, to come out and wreak havoc, to create problems. So stress puts your immune system to sleep. There's people that have major losses, and that can really create a huge problem with viruses come out of remission. Here they're taking all these vitamins, and they're taking the eating really good foods is not working because of this darn stress situation that they're in.

Cortisol face, a roundness in the face, can be caused by stress, not diet. Excess cortisol takes protein from the legs and butt and converts it to fat around the midsection and face. L-Theanine can lower cortisol by increasing alpha brain waves, promoting calm and deep sleep. L-Theanine also increases GABA, serotonin, and melatonin, the sleep hormone. It is best taken an hour before sleep.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: You have cortisol face where your face is round and it's coming from stress, not your diet? When your body has too much cortisol, it robs the proteins from your legs and your butt and turns it into fat around your midsection. It also puts it around the face, giving you this roundish face. One of the best antidotes to lowering cortisol is something called L Theanine. It increases alpha brain waves to help calm you down so you can get into a really nice deep sleep and sleep through the entire night.
L Theanine also increases GABA and serotonin, as well as melatonin, which is the sleep hormone. The best time to take L theanine is about an hour before you go to sleep at night.

Four sleep hacks are presented. First, vitamin B1 before bed can help with overthinking. Second, berries as dessert, especially after a low-carb diet, feed cells during sleep. Third, kefir, better than yogurt, contains microbes and proteins that increase melatonin, plus calcium and magnesium for relaxation and gut support. Most importantly, adequate sodium from sea salt in the evening lowers stress hormones, promoting sleep.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: I have four hacks for you today if you have any problems with sleeping. Number four is the most important. Number one, if you're thinking so much and you just can't go to sleep, you need vitamin b one. Take some b one right before bed and watch how you can just drift off into a wonderful sleep. Number two, add berries as your dessert for your dinner, especially if you've been on a long term low carbohydrate diet.
This has been found to help feed the cells while you're sleeping. Number three, kefir. Kefir is like yogurt, but it actually is better than yogurt. It has more microbes. It has certain proteins that can help increase the hormone called melatonin to help you go to sleep.
It's loaded with calcium and magnesium, which will relax you before sleep, and it will help support your gut microbes, which will indirectly help support your brain. But number four, making sure you have enough sodium from sea salt in the evening will greatly lower your stress hormones, and you will sleep.

Eggs, sardines, grass-fed beef liver, and red meat may help reverse type 2 diabetes due to their zero sugar and nutrient density. Eggs contain almost every nutrient, including choline and lutein; one study showed that consuming three eggs a day for twelve weeks significantly improved fasting blood sugar. Sardines have no carbohydrates, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, and contain selenium, coenzyme Q10, and protein. Beef liver is a high-end multivitamin mineral food with active forms of vitamins, copper, zinc, selenium, and antioxidants to help glucose metabolism and support mitochondrial function, which is linked to type 2 diabetes. Red meat has zero carbs, is loaded with B vitamins and minerals, and contains glutathione and complete amino acids.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Foods that may help you reverse type two diabetes, a disease of too much sugar in your body. But if anything has sugar or hidden sugar, aka starches, those foods are not gonna help you. These four foods are a combination of zero sugar and nutrient density. Number one is eggs. Eggs have zero carbohydrates, but they have a lot of nutrition.
They literally have almost every single nutrient that your body needs, including choline, which is good for a fatty liver, and lutein to support your eyes. One study that found involved people consuming just three eggs a day over a course of twelve weeks with significant improvements in fasting blood sugar. Number two, sardines. I would consider sardines an antidiabetes food. Why?
Because number one, it has no carbohydrates. Number two, it's very rich in omega three fatty acids, something to support your blood sugar as well as reduce inflammation. Sardines are loaded with selenium, coenzyme q 10, a great source of protein. Number three, grass fed beef liver, a super high end multivitamin mineral food that has the active form of vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, B12, copper, zinc, selenium, antioxidants, all the cofactors to help glucose metabolism. But the most beneficial thing about liver is what it can do to support your mitochondria.
It's the mitochondria dysfunction behind type two diabetes. Number four, this might surprise you, out of all the foods that I ate to reverse my blood sugar problems, it was red meat. The very thing that they might tell you that causes diabetes actually doesn't cause it. It helps to correct it. Why?
It has zero carbs. It's loaded with nutrients, all the b vitamins, most of the minerals, vital nutrients, glutathione, and the most quality complete amino acids that you need.

7. 3. Move (but gently) → Walking lowers cortisol → Intense workouts raise it short-term Chronic stress? Skip HIIT for now. Your body needs flow, not fight. https://t.co/xHnXTcejhG
Video Transcript AI Summary
Walking is the best exercise for fat loss, superior to running or high-intensity workouts that raise cortisol. While weightlifting is good, eating enough to build muscle doesn't significantly impact fat loss, as muscle doesn't drastically increase daily calorie burn. Weightlifting without sufficient food intake can strip muscle and slow metabolism. To boost fat burning and improve sleep, walk for ten minutes after each meal and up to an hour daily. Commit to this routine for fourteen days to experience noticeable improvements.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: As a reminder, walking is the very best exercise for fat loss, hands down. It's better than running or CrossFit or anything high intensity that increases your cortisol levels. A lot of people ask about weightlifting. And even though I like weightlifting, if you're eating enough to build new muscle it doesn't matter much for fat loss because even a lot of extra muscle doesn't increase your daily burn by much per day. And you really do the math.
Plus, if you're weightlifting and not eating enough, which is most of you, you're just stripping your own muscle tissue and slowing your metabolism over time. If you want to increase your fat burning bonus, improve your sleep, walk for ten minutes after each meal and as much as an hour per day. Just do what's sustainable for you for fourteen days and you'll be amazed by how you feel.

To reduce stress and lower cortisol, the speaker recommends three tips. First, address leptin resistance by avoiding nighttime eating and snacking, increasing cold exposure, and getting more natural sunlight to lower inflammation and shut off pregnenolone steel. Second, spend time in nature to lower cortisol levels and touch the earth to absorb anti-inflammatory free electrons. Third, practice deep breathing exercises and meditation, ideally outdoors or in a red light environment, to lower cortisol and end the stress response.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Here are three tips to end stress and lower cortisol levels. Now, of course, we can't make stress go away, but we can change our reaction to it. Okay. Tip number one, fix your leptin resistance. Meaning, don't eat at night.
Don't snack between meals, try to get some cold exposure and more natural sunlight throughout the day. This will help to lower your overall inflammation and your stress response and helps to lower your cortisol levels as well. It also shuts off something called pregnenolone steel. I've got other videos on that. Number two, go out into nature.
We know and the research shows that being in nature and spending time in nature helps to lower cortisol levels, touch the earth, get some free electrons from the earth into your body, which are naturally an anti inflammatory as well. And number three, do some deep breathing exercises, some meditation, and make sure you're in the right light environment when you're doing this. Ideally, you're outside or if you're indoors, use some red lights. Really helpful to lower your back cortisol and end that stress response.

Getting early morning, low-angle sunlight in your eyes is important for three reasons. First, specific wavelengths reboot your circadian rhythm, improving sleep, alertness, and mood. Second, morning sunlight stimulates cortisol release at the right time, improving metabolism, immune function, and alertness. Third, sunlight stimulates the release of serotonin and dopamine, improving mood, alertness, and cognitive function. Getting up early to watch the sunrise supports natural rhythms, improves mood, and enhances cognitive function.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Three reasons why getting early morning low angle sunlight into your eyes is so important. Number one, early morning sunlight contains a very specific wavelength that stimulates a specific area in your brain that basically reboots your circadian rhythm and resets your day night cycle. This improves your sleep, your overall alertness, and your mood. Number two, morning sunlight stimulates cortisol release and it stimulates it at the right time. Cortisol is the wake up hormone.
This improves your overall metabolism, it improves your immune function, and your overall sense of alertness. Number three, when you get low angle sunlight into your eyes, the retina stimulates your brain to release serotonin and dopamine, which are the feel good neurotransmitters. This improves your overall mood, your level of alertness, as well as your overall cognitive function. So by simply getting up early and watching the sunrise, you can support your body's natural rhythms, improve your mood, and enhance your overall cognitive function.

Stress increases cortisol, which can lead to increased hunger and eating more. Cortisol can also cause belly fat gain and muscle mass loss, resulting in skinny arms and legs with a large belly. Cushing's syndrome, caused by a cortisol-producing tumor, exhibits similar symptoms like a large belly, skinny limbs, and a hump on the neck. Eating under stress impairs nutrient absorption. Nerves connect the brain to fat cells, and stress causes fat cells to store more fat instead of functioning properly. Therefore, eating under stress can lead to weight gain.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Stress does a number of things. One, it increases cortisol, which is a stress hormone. Cortisol makes you fat. It basically causes you to be hungrier, so you eat more. Anybody on prednisone or steroids knows this.
It makes you eat more, makes you hungrier. It causes you to gain belly fat, lose muscle mass. You get skinny arms and legs and a big fat belly. This is what stress does. And and there's a phenomena called Cushing's syndrome, which is from a tumor that produces too much cortisol.
And you get this phenomena of people who are like giant bellies, skinny arms and legs, big hump on their neck, skin breaks down, everything breaks down. When you eat under stress, you actually are not able to absorb the nutrients that you need. We also know if if you're eating under stress that there's nerves that connect your brain to your fat cells. So you're literally your fat cells are listening to your thoughts. And when you're stressed, your fat cells stop doing what they're supposed to do, and they start storing more fat.
So if you wanna gain weight, eat under stress.

The discussion highlights berberine as a natural alternative to Ozempic, emphasizing its benefits without the side effects associated with pharmaceuticals. Berberine aids in fat loss, improves insulin sensitivity, supports heart health, stabilizes blood sugar, reduces chronic inflammation, and may extend lifespan by activating AMPK. It is suggested to take 500 mg two to three times daily, ideally before meals. The conversation critiques the pharmaceutical industry for promoting expensive drugs while overlooking effective natural solutions like berberine.
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
Berberine is Nature’s Ozempic—without the side effects Big Pharma won’t tell you about. It torches fat, balances blood sugar & boosts longevity. Here’s how it works (and why it’s a threat to $500B drug empires): A Thread 🧵 https://t.co/3OSa7aRPLJ
@MetabolicFactor - Metabolic Factor
1. Ozempic doesn’t burn fat. It just kills your appetite and slows digestion—making you eat less. But this wrecks your metabolism… and when you stop? You gain the weight back (plus more) with a slower metabolism and raging hunger. https://t.co/uWuBMXf88x
Video Transcript AI Summary
Ozempic increases GLP-1 receptors, slowing digestion and decreasing appetite and cravings, leading to weight loss. It improves pancreatic beta cells, restoring insulin levels and improving insulin resistance, which also aids weight loss. Ozempic also affects the liver by reducing sugar production (gluconeogenesis) and slowing sugar breakdown.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: What Ozempic does to the body is it increases a certain receptor called GLP-one, which helps slow down digestion, thereby decreasing your appetite, cravings, so you're no longer hungry and you can eat less and lose more weight. It even improves the beta cells of the pancreas to help restore insulin levels. In fact, it's been known to improve insulin resistance. And anything that improves insulin resistance will help you lose weight. It has some interesting effects on the liver too.
It actually helps a person stop making so much sugar. That's called gluconeogenesis. And also, it helps slow the breakdown of sugar in the liver.

Berberine is a phytonutrient with many potential benefits, especially for the cardiovascular system. It may act as a powerful antiarrhythmic by decreasing intracellular calcium, decreasing blood pressure, increasing heart muscle performance, decreasing the risk of heart attacks, protecting against ischemia, and altering potassium channels.
Berberine may also decrease infectious diarrhea, act as a natural antibiotic and immune stimulant, and possess anti-tumor/anti-cancer properties. It may have antidiabetic properties, potentially decreasing blood sugars and helping with insulin resistance as effectively as metformin. Berberine could decrease the effects of caffeine and act as an anti-inflammatory and antiviral.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Today we're going to talk about berberine. Berberine is the next turmeric. Okay. It is actually incredible. It's been thoroughly studied.
A lot of people know about it, but they don't know all the different things it can do. Some hardcore research on a lot of things, especially the cardiovascular system. It's a very powerful antiarrhythmic natural compound. Now berberine is a phytonutrient in certain plants, okay? So it's not necessarily a name of a plant.
And because the mechanism of arrhythmias involve calcium, berberine can decrease the intracellular calcium, which is one actual cause of the heart going out of rhythm because calcium is an electrolyte. If there's too much calcium in the cell, it becomes toxic and it affects the electrical system of the heart. It can also decrease blood pressure. It can increase the performance of the actual heart muscle itself. It decreases the risk of heart attacks, protects against ischemia in heart muscle.
This is a lack of oxygen. If there's some type of obstruction because there's a clogged artery that's causing a lack of blood flow to the heart muscle, this can help it. Also, can alter potassium channels. Now, potassium is a mineral that protects excessive amounts of calcium going into the cell. And this is why certain arrhythmias are actually caused by low potassium.
Because if you don't have enough potassium, you can't protect against the excess amount of calcium that builds up inside the cells. Berberine can help as an anticoagulant so that can help reduce clotting. Number two, and this is a well known benefit, can decrease infectious diarrhea. So if you have an infection that's causing diarrhea, I would start taking berberine. All right.
Number three, it can act as a natural antibiotic, okay, which actually explains number two. It's also an immune stimulant that can help boost your immune system. Number five, anti tumor, anti cancer, big time. In fact, there's just a lot of studies going on using this berberine on tumors and cancer, which you don't hear about unless you actually dig in to find this data. Number six, and this is actually a very important benefit.
It has antidiabetic properties. It can potently decrease your blood sugars. It can help with insulin resistance, making insulin and glucose more sensitive. So your blood sugars are going to be much better. There's been some reports that this will work just as good, if not better than metformin.
I realize I'm not making any claims. Check with your doctor before consuming this, but you may just want to read the research yourself. All right. Number seven, it can help decrease the effects of caffeine. Caffeine can trigger arrhythmias.
Well, berberine decreases the effect of caffeine. All right. Number eight, it's anti inflammatory. It's very, very effective for anything that has it is bursitis, tendonitis, arthritis, and it's antiviral. Other than that, it probably doesn't work for anything else.
And I'm being very, very sarcastic. This is the next turmeric. I think it's a very powerful phytonutrient that I think more people need to know about. All right. Thanks for watching.

Berberine is a supplement that impacts both gut health and blood sugar. In the gut, Berberine promotes beneficial bacteria and fortifies the gut barrier.
Berberine activates AMPK, a metabolic master switch, to affect blood sugar. Research indicates its effectiveness is comparable to some diabetes medications. Gut health and blood sugar regulation create a positive feedback loop, enhancing each other's benefits.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: What is Berberine? Everyone's talking about this supplement called Berberine, and after looking at the research, I understand why. It's actually fascinating what this compound can do. Think of Berberine like a master key that unlocks two crucial areas of your health: your gut and your blood sugar. And here's where it gets interesting.
These two are more connected than you might think. First, here's what it does for your gut. Berberine acts like a bouncer at a club. It helps good bacteria thrive while showing the troublemakers the door. It also strengthens your gut barrier, basically reinforcing the walls of your fortress.
But here's what's really got scientists excited: its effect on blood sugar. Berberine activates something called AMPK, which is like your body's metabolic master Some studies show it working as well as certain diabetes medications. The really wild part: these benefits work together. Better gut health leads to better blood sugar control and vice versa. It's like a positive feedback loop.

4. Benefit #1: Improves insulin sensitivity Berberine helps your cells absorb glucose without needing more insulin. This reverses insulin resistance—the #1 driver of weight gain and chronic disease. Better insulin = better fat loss. https://t.co/NVAQ0CQ93D
Video Transcript AI Summary
Berberine is presented as a supplement that can reverse insulin resistance by improving insulin sensitivity, preventing blood sugar spikes, and reducing the amount of insulin the body needs to produce. Insulin resistance is believed to affect one in two to one in three people in North America and often goes undiagnosed.
Berberine may also positively impact weight loss and energy levels by altering the gut microbiome. It can increase the beneficial bacteria achromancy mucinophila, which is more abundant in individuals who maintain their weight easily, and lower gram-negative bacteria rich in LPS. LPS has been associated with mental health disorders like depression, suggesting berberine may benefit blood sugar, gut health, and mental health.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Berberine is a fantastic supplement for reversing insulin resistance and let me explain how it works. Berberine helps to improve insulin sensitivity. So when you consume a meal, especially a meal that's higher in carbohydrates, it will prevent your blood sugar from spiking as much as well as your body doesn't have to make as much insulin to lower your blood sugar. Now, this is important to improve insulin sensitivity because that is the whole underlying issue with insulin resistance. Now, resistance is often undiagnosed.
It comes before pre diabetes and diabetes and it's estimated that one in two to one in three individuals in North America actually have insulin resistance. What I also find so fascinating about berberine is we believe that some of the positive benefits that berberine has with respect to lowering your blood sugar, helping with weight loss, helping with improved energy actually comes from berberine's ability to change or shift the gut microbiome. For instance, berberine has been shown to increase a beneficial bacteria called achromancy mucinophila, which has been shown to be more abundant in individuals that maintain their weight more easily. In addition, berberine can lower gram negative bacteria which are rich in something called LPS. Now, LPS has been associated with mental health disorders like depression.
So I find it so fascinating that berberine can not only help with your blood sugar and your gut health, but potentially also your mental health. It's all connected.

Berberine, derived from tree bark, can mitigate the effects of overeating. It functions similarly to metformin, impacting the AMPK and mTOR pathways.
Berberine boosts energetics and promotes health, especially on high-fat diets, as demonstrated in rat and mice studies. Clinical trials indicate that berberine increases insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for sequestering blood sugar into cells and combating type 2 diabetes. While high doses are required, berberine has demonstrated safety in human trials.
Full Transcript
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, and 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 it 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'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. So this
Speaker 1: 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.

Eighty-seven percent of people are metabolically dysfunctional, meaning their metabolism is not working, resulting in high blood glucose and insulin, hypertension, and dysfunctional mitochondria. This leads to prediabetes/diabetes, increased body fat, hunger, fatigue, and accelerated aging. Dihydroberberine, the optimized form of berberine, is a glucose disposal agent. It is claimed to be the speaker's number one most powerful way to anti-age and protect against metabolic dysfunction.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Number one way to live longer, have a leaner body, be more sustainable throughout life, you gotta wait for the supplement at the end. This is my number one most important supplement. Eighty seven percent of people are metabolically dysfunctional. What does that mean? Your metabolism is not working, and it means your blood glucose is high.
Your insulin is high. You're getting hypertension. A lot of these syndrome x issues, and that means your mitochondria are not working right, which means you're not getting enough energy. And so what's happening here, your metabolism is broken. Your insulin is high.
You're prediabetic diabetic, and this is leading to you holding more body fat, being more hungry, being more tired, and proaging, pro disease. You're actually aging faster than your chronological age. So what am I saying here? Di hydroberberine. It's the optimized form of berberine.
It's a glucose disposal agent. It's my number one most powerful way to anti age to protect you from metabolic dysfunction.

Berberine can be taken either in the morning or before carbohydrate-rich meals. It is likely unnecessary before meals low in carbohydrates. Berberine slows down carbohydrate digestion and helps cells absorb them more efficiently. The recommended dosage is 500mg two to three times daily. A specific brand recommendation is available via a link in the speaker's bio.

Speaker 0: There are two ways to take berberine. You can either take it first thing in the morning or you can take it before meals that are high in carbohydrates. If you're eating a meal that doesn't contain carbs or that's low in carbs, it's probably not necessary. Because of how berberine works, it slows down the digestion of carbs and it also helps our cells to take in carbs more efficiently. So if you're not eating carbs, it's not gonna be as beneficial.
But generally, five hundred milligrams two to three times per day is the recommended dose. And the brand I recommend is linked in my bio.

10. Big Pharma can’t patent plants. So they push $1,000+ drugs like Ozempic—with dangerous side effects. But nature already gave us powerful tools like Berberine—cheap, safe, and proven. You just haven’t been told the truth. https://t.co/p9cbwIQiLg
Video Transcript AI Summary
Berberine, dubbed "Nature's Ozempic," is a plant compound used in Eastern medicine, now popular as a metabolism and longevity supplement. It improves insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation by activating the AMPK pathway, signaling the body to burn energy. Berberine reduces blood sugar spikes, promotes autophagy, and supports stable blood sugar, leading to sharper focus, better mood, balanced hormones, and efficient fat burning.
It also possesses antimicrobial and antifungal properties, aiding gut health by reducing SIBO, candida, and gut dysbiosis. Side effects include stomach upset, so starting with 250-500mg is advised. Long-term use may harm beneficial gut bacteria, necessitating cycling.
Unlike Ozempic, a prescription medication that suppresses appetite and controls sugar, berberine is a natural herb that helps the body use energy and maintain steady sugar levels, working more slowly and gently.

Speaker 0: This is my most requested supplement review because it has been called Nature's Ozempic, so let's break it down and see if that's true. Berberine is a powerful plant compound that's been used for centuries in Eastern medicine, but recently, it's gained a lot of popularity as a metabolism and longevity supplement. Here's what it does: it improves insulin sensitivity and glucose regulation. It activates the AMPK pathway, essentially just signaling your body to burn energy rather than store it. So, it will reduce blood sugar spikes after meals and also promote autophagy, which is cellular cleanup, and this supports longevity.
This matters because stable blood sugar will give you sharper focus, a better mood, balanced hormones, and more efficient fat burning. Berberine also has natural antimicrobial and antifungal properties, which can help with gut health, like reducing SIBO, candida, and gut dysbiosis. The biggest risk and side effects are: one) stomach upset like bloating and cramping, so it's recommended to start low like two fifty-five hundred mg and then increase slowly. Long term use may also harm your beneficial gut bacteria, so it's important to cycle it off, For example, do five days on, two days off, or just do one month at a time and see how it goes. How is it different from Ozempic?
Very simply put, Ozempic is a strong prescription medication that tells your body to eat less and control sugar, whereas berberine is a natural herb that helps your body use energy better and keep your sugar steady, but it works more slowly and gently.

The conversation emphasizes that inability to lose belly fat often stems from hormonal imbalances, particularly high cortisol levels due to chronic stress. Key points include that cortisol contributes to belly fat, low energy, and muscle breakdown. Solutions involve a two-part system: burning visceral fat through strength training, walking, and proper nutrition, and lowering cortisol by practicing quiet walks, improving sleep, and managing screen time. The discussion advocates for a sustainable lifestyle approach rather than temporary diets or extreme measures.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Cortisol, a stress hormone, can cause weight gain due to overactive stress responses. High cortisol levels lead to belly fat accumulation, muscle breakdown, insulin resistance, elevated blood pressure, and shrinkage of the brain's memory center. Stress impacts fat cells through neuronal connections, causing them to store more fat. When stressed, the body inhibits metabolism and increases fat storage, which is beneficial for short-term survival situations, but detrimental when experienced daily.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Cortisol makes you gain weight. Now it's a stress hormone. Most of us are overactive in our stress response and don't reset our nervous systems. When you have high levels of cortisol, it causes you to gain belly fat, it causes your muscles to break down, it makes you more resistant, it raises your blood pressure, it shrinks your memory center in your brain. And what happens is stress also affects your fat cells, literally your nervous system, your autonomic nervous system, your sympathetic nervous system, your fight or flight nervous system has neuronal connections to your fat cells.
So literally when you're stressed, your fat cells are listening. And when your body is actually in a state of stress, it's not designed to actually lose weight initially because you want to be flooding your body with sugar and fatty acids. And so you're basically inhibiting the process of metabolism metabolism and you're increasing your fat storage and you're doing all these things that are really bad. And they're good if you're running from a tiger for two minutes, but not if you're doing this every day.

Every 24 hours, everyone experiences a significant cortisol release. Sunlight exposure increases cortisol by 50%, and exercise can add another 50-75% increase. This cortisol peak should ideally occur early in the day. Despite cortisol's negative reputation, this surge provides increased energy, improved immune function, and enhanced focus throughout the day. It also sets a timer, leading to sleepiness approximately 14-16 hours later.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Once every twenty four hours, we each and all get a big increase in this release of the hormone cortisol, which everyone says, oh, cortisol, it's terrible. You know, it's gonna burn you out, adrenal burnout, all that stuff, but it's a non negotiable peak. And you want it to arrive early in the day and viewing sunlight, physical activity, caffeine, and in particular intense exercise, all amplify that cortisol peak. In fact, I think the numbers I'm seeing is just sunlight viewing gives you a 50% increase in that cortisol. Exercise on top of that, another 50 to 75% increase.
So this huge release in this hormone that everyone thinks is terrible, but actually sets this huge wave in motion for the rest of the day, which gives you more energy, higher levels of immune function, more focus, etcetera. And does indeed, as you mentioned in your example of your daily life, sets a timer so that about fourteen to sixteen hours later, you're sleepy, which is what you want.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Cortisol, a stress hormone, converts protein into sugar, prompting the liver to produce sugar from non-carbohydrate sources like fats, ketones, and protein. Elevated cortisol levels lead the body to create excess sugar, even in individuals who don't consume much sugar. This increase in sugar raises insulin levels, potentially leading to diabetes. This is why prednisone, a synthetic cortisol, lists diabetes as a side effect.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: First, let's talk about the relationship between cortisol and belly fat. Cortisol turns protein into sugar. So, it causes your liver to make new sugar out of non carbohydrate things like fats, ketones, protein. So, if your cortisol is really high, that's a stress hormone, you're going to need quick sugar being created. So, your body's going to be making a lot of sugar.
So, people that have high cortisol, a lot of times are not eating sugar. It's their bodies making sugar out of other things. And that increase in sugar elevates insulin. People can even become a diabetic if they have too much cortisol. And this is why one of the side effects of prednisone, where someone's taking a synthetic cortisol, is diabetes.

In 2007, Japanese researchers found a walking technique that provides 10 times the benefits of 10,000 steps in 30 minutes. The technique involves alternating between three minutes of fast walking and three minutes of slow walking, repeated five times. Compared to 10,000 steps, this protocol showed a 29x boost in aerobic fitness, a 10 times improvement in leg strength, and a three times improvement in blood pressure. While 10,000 steps is a fantastic target that takes one to two hours, this protocol takes only 30 minutes.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Probably heard that you should walk 10,000 steps a day, but in 02/2007, Japanese researchers discovered a walking technique that gives you 10 times the benefits in just thirty minutes. Instead of a 10,000 step target, you switch between three minutes of fast walking and three minutes of slow walking for five total sets. The results were surprising compared to hitting 10,000 steps. This walking protocol showed a 29x boost in aerobic fitness, a 10 times improvement in leg strength and a three times improvement in blood pressure. 10,000 steps is still a fantastic target, but it takes around one to two hours a day of intentional movements.
This protocol is just thirty minutes. All movements is medicine, but if you're short on time or want to get the most bang for your buck, this is for you.

The keto diet is considered "nonsense" because it involves eating a lot of fat, cutting back carbs, and being in a state of ketosis. There are no long-term studies proving its sustainability. The diet doesn't incorporate enough fruits and vegetables, which are the cornerstone of good health. It is full of saturated fats, which increase LDL and decrease HDL, raising the risk of heart attacks and stroke.
Nutritional deficiencies can occur due to the lack of fruits and vegetables. A fatty liver, GI issues, and constipation from lack of fiber are also possible. Mental acuity can decrease because the brain needs carbohydrates to function appropriately. There are no long-term studies to support the keto diet, so one should not jump on the bandwagon. A pamphlet will be released to help people make intelligent diet choices.

Speaker 0: Keto diet. You've heard about it? It's nonsense. And let me tell you why. So many people are on it and basically involves eating a lot of fat, cutting back carbs, and being in a state of ketosis.
Now there's a few problems I have with this approach. First of all, there are no long term studies. This is not a diet that's really sustainable. This has been talked about in the medical literature for a long time. They also don't have you eating a lot of fruits and vegetables.
I have a problem with that, because fruits and vegetables are the cornerstone of good health. No bueno. Also, is full of saturated fats, which increase your LDL and decrease your HDL. All the bad cholesterol goes up, all the good cholesterol goes down. This increases your risk of heart attacks and stroke.
It cannot be good for you. There's some nutritional deficiencies associated with this diet. You lose a lot of vitamins and minerals by cutting off fruits and vegetables. You can actually get a fatty liver. You can actually get GI issues and constipation from lack of fiber.
That's not really good for you, But worst of all, you actually lose mental acuity in some cases. So you actually don't function with your brain as well as you should, that brain fog, because you need some degree of carbohydrates for your brain to function appropriately. Now, I've talked about how it's not sustainable. Well, this is why there are no long term studies with people on the keto diet, which is why I don't think you should jump on this bandwagon until there's more studies to support it. Stick to fruits and vegetables and a healthy diet.
I will be talking a lot about this in the future, and I'll be coming out with a pamphlet to help you make intelligent diet choices for yourself. Stay tuned for more.
