VITAMIN B CHEATSHEET Each B vitamin has a wildly different job in your body, and deficiency symptoms that look nothing alike. Knowing which B you're actually missing changes everything: 1) B1 (Thiamine) This is the energy vitamin. Thiamine converts every carb you eat into ATP. When it's low, your brain runs on fumes first. You'll notice persistent fatigue, brain fog, irritability, and memory problems before it gets worse. Brazil nuts, sunflower seeds, and beans are your best sources. Best supplement forms: Benfotiamine or TTFD (better absorption than thiamine HCl). If supplementing high-dose B1, combine with a B-complex plus ample magnesium and potassium. B1 requires magnesium to activate properly. Some may need molybdenum as well. Also, don’t supplement B1 with coffee, it can interfere with absorption. 2) B2 (Riboflavin) This one powers your mitochondria and processes other B vitamins. Deficiency is visible: cracks at the corners of your mouth, sore throat, swollen tongue, red itchy eyes. Eggs, organ meats, and fish fix it fast. Best supplement form: R5P (riboflavin-5-phosphate) 3) B3 (Niacin) Niacin fuels over 400 enzymes in your body. Severe deficiency causes pellagra: dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia. Early signs show up as skin rashes that worsen in the sun, mouth sores, digestive issues, and confusion. Best sources are turkey, tuna, beef, liver, etc. 4) B5 (Pantothenic Acid) B5 forms coenzyme A, required for fatty acid metabolism and cortisol synthesis in your adrenals. Deficiency is rare (it's everywhere in food), but symptoms include fatigue, irritability, burning/numbness in hands and feet. Mushrooms, avocados, poultry are rich sources. RDA is only 5 mg/day. 5) B6 (Pyridoxine) B6 makes serotonin, dopamine, and GABA. When it's low, your mood tanks. You'll notice irritability, confusion, weakened immunity, and neurological symptoms. Tuna, salmon, chickpeas, and bananas are loaded with it. Best supplement form: P5P (pyridoxal-5-phosphate) 6) B7 (Biotin) Biotin supports keratin production and metabolizes fats and carbs. True deficiency is extremely rare, but causes thinning hair, red scaly rashes (especially around eyes/nose/mouth), brittle nails. Liver has 30 mcg per 3 oz. Eggs have 10 mcg. AI is 30 mcg/day—beauty supplements often push 2,500–5,000 mcg with no evidence of benefit. 7) B9 (Folate) Folate builds your DNA and red blood cells. Deficiency causes anemia. In pregnancy, low folate leads to neural tube defects. That's why grain fortification was mandated in the 1990s. Spinach, broccoli, and legumes are rich sources. Important note: Folic acid fortification in processed foods isn’t the same as natural folate. Synthetic folic acid must be converted to active folate via DHFR and MTHFR enzymes. People with MTHFR gene variants may struggle with this conversion, risking unmetabolized folic acid accumulation. Choose methylated folate (5-MTHF) supplements instead. 8) B12 (Cobalamin) B12 protects your nerves and maintains myelin. Deficiency causes anemia and permanent nerve damage if ignored. Early symptoms include fatigue and memory problems. It worsens into numbness and tingling in your hands and feet. B12 exists only in animal foods. Vegans and older adults need supplements. Best supplement forms: Methylcobalamin or adenosylcobalamin (avoid cyanocobalamin) "What about the B-complex Ben?" Take a B-complex for general energy and stress support. They work synergistically in metabolism. Take individual B vitamins if you suspect a specific deficiency (B12 for vegans, B6 for anemia). Always take B vitamins in the morning with breakfast. They support energy metabolism and may be stimulating at night. Food improves absorption and reduces stomach upset. How to know if you're vitamin B-deficient? Key markers for understanding functional B-vitamin deficiency: Blood levels can appear normal while your tissues still lack adequate B vitamins at the cellular level. More accurate markers include: - B12: Homocysteine, methylmalonic acid, FIGLU - B9: Homocysteine, FIGLU - B6: Xanthurenic acid - B1: Pyruvate, lactate, branched-chain keto acids Common causes of B-vitamin depletion: > Low stomach acid or long-term PPI use (especially B12: absorption requires intrinsic factor and stomach acid; H. pylori can also drive deficiency) > High alcohol intake (depletes thiamine, folate, B6) > Birth control pills (deplete B2, B6, B9, B12) > SIBO, dysbiosis, or gut inflammation > High oxidative stress > Genetic variants (MTHFR, MTRR, TCN2, SLC19A1) Watch for: unexplained fatigue and low energy, brain fog or memory issues, mood changes (irritability, anxiety, depression), anemia (pale skin, weakness), tingling or numbness in hands/feet, skin changes (rash, cracked lips, brittle nails), frequent infections. B vitamins are not a one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on your diet, health status, medications, and genetics. Start with whole food sources, supplement strategically when needed, and work with a healthcare provider if symptoms persist despite normal blood work.

Inflammation is behind every chronic disease—and GROUNDING eliminates it faster than most medications. Plus, it's free and remarkably effective. Still skeptical about it? Let me explain the science behind why it works: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Grounding connects your body to the Earth's natural charge. In the past, humans stayed in contact with the Earth, but modern life—insulated shoes, high buildings, synthetic surfaces—has disconnected us. This disconnection may be a cause of chronic inflammation.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

How does grounding actually work? The Earth's surface holds a negative electric charge, replenished by lightning and solar energy. These electrons act as antioxidants when absorbed through your skin, neutralising free radicals that cause inflammation.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

When you walk barefoot on grass, soil, sand, or concrete, your body absorbs these healing electrons. It's not woo-woo, it's basic physics and biology working together. You're literally "charging your battery" from the Earth beneath your feet. Let's look at the studies ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

A 2004 thermal imaging study showed significant inflammation reduction after 30 minutes of grounding. Images revealed hot areas cooling as Earth’s electrons neutralised inflammation, visibly and measurably.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The research on grounding over the past two decades is impressive: • Reduces chronic inflammation • Improves blood flow (by 270% in some studies) • Normalises cortisol levels • Enhances wound healing • Improves sleep quality • Relieves pain (often rapidly) Other studies have documented: • Faster muscle recovery after exercise (documented in multiple sports medicine studies) • Reduced blood viscosity (thinner, healthier blood that flows better) • Improved facial blood flow (creating a natural "beauty effect") • Enhanced lymphatic return to the heart Your entire circulatory system works better when grounded. All without pills, needles, or side effects.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Researchers at Pennsylvania State University Children's Hospital found that grounding premature infants significantly improved their autonomic nervous system function. The babies showed better vagal tone within minutes.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Grounding enhances blood flow. A 2013 study found zeta potential (strength of the negative charge on the surface of red blood cells) rose by 270% after two hours of grounding. This boosts circulation and reduces blood thickness. Basically, it's a natural blood thinner.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Here's how to incorporate grounding into your daily life: • Walk barefoot on grass for 20-30 minutes daily • Swim in natural bodies of water (oceans, lakes, rivers) • Use indoor grounding products The longer you're connected, the more benefits you'll experience.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

A caveat: Recently, I’ve been using a grounding mat while working. Last week was extremely busy, and I spent too much time grounding—consequently—burning nerves in my knees. Currently recovering using peptides and red light therapy (will talk more about this in the future).

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

I've recommended grounding to hundreds of clients with chronic conditions: pain, autoimmune conditions, nervous system issues, sleep issues, etc. The effects are profound and often rapid.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

If grounding were a drug, it would be a billion-dollar blockbuster. But since it's free and accessible to everyone, it remains criminally overlooked by mainstream medicine. Go outside and touch some grass, my dear reader. Your body will thank you.

If you have thyroid issues, you can cure them naturally. Most thyroid issues are secondary to other problems. Thus, if you find the root cause—there is a cure. Here are the absolute best ways to heal your thyroid: 🧵 https://t.co/wQyyK1UTyQ

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland in the front of your neck. There are two types of thyroid problems: • Hypothyroidism • Hyperthyroidism Hypothyroidism is the underproduction of the thyroid hormones. Hyperthyroidism is the opposite—overproduction... https://t.co/KcC8oAux3B

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

From my experience treating thyroid issues, the common symptoms are: • Fatigue • Dry skin • Tiredness • Puffy face • Depression • Constipation • More sensitivity to cold Today, many people have thyroid problems, but these are often secondary to other issues. https://t.co/T92PyFyebe

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

To solve thyroid issues, you must first understand their root cause and the underlying mechanism Hypothalamus is a master regulator which releases TRH—which instructs pituitary gland to release TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). The thyroid then produces T4, which converts to the active form T3.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

When diagnosing the problem, most doctors only look at TSH, but it's important to consider the holistic view of the body. Harrower’s chart illustrates how the thyroid influences everything and how different glands interact. Grasp the big picture before finding the root cause ↓ https://t.co/zg9pFdPRoT

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Let’s explore the first possible root cause ↓ The liver converts the thyroid hormones. T4 is inactive, and is activated through the liver, to make the active form T3. 80% of the thyroid function occurs through your liver. Thus, damaged liver may be one cause. https://t.co/RqDO6I4yF9

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Thyroid issues can also stem from gallbladder bile problems. Adequate bile production alleviates constipation, helps with bowel movements, and improves liver function—which is crucial since the liver converts 80% of thyroid hormones.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ The adrenals can impair thyroid function by triggering an autoimmune disease that causes the thyroid to attack itself. This often happens after a stressful event: • Graves (hyperthyroid) • Hashimoto’s (hypothyroid) In this case, you want to cure the autoimmune disease. https://t.co/8W2nJl752E

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

In women, excess oestrogen could be the problem If you experience heavy bleeding, cramping, or irregular periods—excess oestrogen may be blocking thyroid hormone receptors, preventing the thyroid from functioning properly. Oestrogen inhibits thyroid function. More estrogen = less thyroid activity

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

If I were in your shoes, the first step I’d take would be to get bloodwork done (TSH, T4, T3) Next, I’d accurately interpret the results and identify the problem, whether: • Poor conversion • Faulty regulation • Thyroid tissue damage • Anything in Harrower’s chart Once that's done, it's time to restore thyroid function ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

1) First, start with a nutrition overhaul. If you are insulin resistant, adopt a low-carb, high-fat diet. If you are generally healthy, opt for a low to moderate carb diet. Nobody benefits from sugar and high insulin spikes. Next ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

2) Perform a liver detox Since 80% of the conversion from T4 to T3 occurs in the liver, it's crucial for it to function properly. I recommend these battle-tested supplements to my clients: • TRHC TUDCA • Raw Herbal Cleanse (no affiliation) https://t.co/YdHyT4jDYb

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

3) When considering iodine supplementation, it’s crucial to determine whether you have an autoimmune issue. Taking iodine can worsen autoimmune diseases by increasing thyroid size and susceptibility to attacks. Iodine should be introduced only after the autoimmune response has been calmed.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

4) The next step is a gut reset, especially if you have a leaky gut. Having helped over 1,500+ people achieve this, I can assure you it will greatly benefit not only your thyroid issues but also your overall health. For example: If you are low on T3—it’s a sign of an unhealthy gut flora and deficiency in Zinc and Selenium—which are necessary in conversion from T4 to T3.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

5) Avoid drinking tap water containing chlorine and fluoride. Change your water game by investing in quality water filters. Additionally, avoid allergens such as: • Soy • Corn • Wheat • Pasteurised dairy

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

True healing of thyroid is not the suppression of symptoms, but the addressing of the root cause and then giving your body the support it needs. Then it will perform miracles. The thyroid is like an orchestra, and all the players need to be in harmony for optimal health.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

P.S. In recent months, we've helped people reverse seemingly "permanent" health conditions. They came to us feeling defeated, having tried everything conventional medicine offered. 3-6 months of working with us—they healed. Want their results? DM me "REVERSE" and let's chat. https://t.co/Lcke8sv2LK

NATTOKINASE is the most overlooked supplement on Earth. It dissolves blood clots, reduces blood pressure, and optimises lipid profiles. Some people use it to recover from "jabs." Here's everything you need to know about it: 🧵 https://t.co/mAF2hA3nU4

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

First off, what is nattokinase? In 1980s, Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi discovered this enzyme from natto (fermented soybeans) that dissolves blood clots better than any drug. Natto is also a top source of vitamin K2, helping remove calcium from arteries. https://t.co/VjiaygUZQp

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

For over 2,000 years, Natto has been a traditional food in Asian countries. It is believed that consuming Natto significantly contributes to the longevity of the Japanese population. So, let's explore the benefits of arguably #1 supplement for cardiovascular health: https://t.co/0F1rvQhsK8

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

1) NK = super-powered clot buster It is 4x stronger than plasmin (your body’s natural clot-dissolver). A single 2000 FU dose breaks down blood clots by targeting (fibrin) the protein that forms clots, and helps prevent new clots from forming in both arteries and veins. https://t.co/LqRSyfmn1k

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

2) NK = anti-hypertensive In controlled trials, NK naturally lowers blood pressure in two ways: it drops the top number (systolic) by about 6 points, and the bottom number (diastolic) by about 3 points. Men seem to get better results with NK. https://t.co/y9uldV5Rb7

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

3) NK = arterial protection Nattokinase helps prevent hardening of arteries in 3 ways: • It fights inflammation • Anti-oxidative stress properties • Prevents cell death Studies show it improves blood flow safely, without adverse effects commonly seen with aspirin. https://t.co/ShYxvvfpE3

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

4) NK = neuroprotective Nattokinase protects your brain cells from damage by: • Fighting inflammation • Neutralising harmful molecules • Keeps the blood flowing smoothly to your brain Basically, it helps you maintain healthy brain function as you age.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

How to supplement nattokinase? Nattokinase is best taken on an empty stomach to maximise absorption and minimise interaction with food proteins. Take it at least 2 hours after a meal or 30 minutes before eating.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

This study, involving 1,062 participants, suggests that a daily dose of 10,800 FU of NK reverses heart disease without adverse effects. It's truly a powerful supplement. https://t.co/xdPijJlZ0Q

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Finally, when it comes to safety profile: If you are on blood-thinning medications like aspirin, it may result in bleeding. As always, before considering supplementation—consult your doctor first.

In 1991, scientists discovered something extraordinary: Your heart possesses its own independent brain—a neural network that "thinks, remembers, and feels." This discovery is transforming how we deal with (and understand) chronic stress: 🧵 https://t.co/hILBzYUuym

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Your heart isn't just a pump. It's a “little brain” with 40,000 neurons, running its own nervous system. When it achieves coherence, it creates a state of perfect harmony—aligning your physical, mental, and emotional systems into one powerful force. But...

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

When the heart is beating incoherently, we feel: • Anxious • On edge • Unfocused • Out of balance Because the body is operating in survival, we act from primitive perspective rather than from higher heart-centred emotions. This INCOHERENCE is brought up by STRESS. https://t.co/b1jDPQIwhn

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The stress we experience when we feel unsafe is not about the event itself. It’s the result of unmanaged emotional reactions to the event. In a state of chronic stress, the body struggles to maintain homeostasis. And we begin to suffer from myriad stress-related symptoms ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Due to our large brains—we can think about problems—therefore turning on the cascade of stress chemicals by THOUGHT alone. We can knock our brain and body out of normal physiology just by thinking about past or trying to control an unpredictable future.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

This constant stress takes serious toll on your body—draining your energy and resilience. According to studies—psychological stress was the strongest predictor of future cardiac events, including cardiac death, arrest, and heart attack. https://t.co/ANH5n64se5

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Let’s zoom back on the heart. When your heart becomes coherent, your nervous system responds by increasing the brain’s energy, creativity, and intuition. This has a positive effect on every organ in the body. When the heart and brain are working together, you feel more whole. https://t.co/qun68aSsrc

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Your heart is intricately connected to both branches of the ANS. This direct link means parasympathetic and sympathetic fluctuations instantly affect your heart's beat-to-beat function, i.e. EVERY EMOTION SHAPES YOUR HEART RHYTHM. So, how can you develop resilience to handle “bad” emotions?

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Start by increasing your HRV (heart rate variability) which is the global biomarker of resilience to stress. Moderate level of variability makes us better to adapt to life’s challenges. Low HRV does the opposite. https://t.co/QrrCIk0QI6

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Stress disrupts the ANS, which controls automatic processes like breathing, heart rate, and digestion. Constantly living in “survival mode” (financial pressure, uncertainty, etc.) over-activates the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), causing imbalance. To restore balance…

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Train the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) to boost heart rate variability (HRV). Higher HRV builds resilience, improving clarity, decision-making, and composure under pressure. My top methods for increasing HRV ↓ https://t.co/df7miGZA4P

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

There are three major areas you should focus on to increase your HRV: • Improve cardiovascular function • Breathwork and breath training • The four states of the nervous system Let’s dive into them: https://t.co/lxjS4OEIwl

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

1) Exercise, including both cardio and strength training, increases HRV. I’m boosting mine with Muay Thai: https://t.co/L72haYeica

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

2) Breathwork and breath training As a breathwork facilitator, I can confidently say that breath is your best friend here. Really, there 4 ways to master the breath: • Gain a greater breath-awareness • Centering: Slow cadence of speech, applying pauses • Daily breath practice • Longer guided breath journeys

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Take deep, slow breaths daily to stimulate the vagus nerve and promote your parasympathetic nervous system. Two of my favorite exercises are: • Forced exhales • Double inhales (corporate breathwork) https://t.co/N8tiiSQPoc

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Use the breath to shift your state: • Exhales/slow breaths to down-regulate • Inhales/sharp breaths to energise This means nothing if you are congested, so clear your nasal passage or use nose strips to open your airways. https://t.co/XHUVfnptd6

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Master the 4-states of the nervous system: 1.⁠ ⁠Sympathetic activation | Think: caffeine, environmental stress, an argument with your partner, heavy music (stressful stimuli) 2.⁠ ⁠⁠Sympathetic strengthening | This is stress that you adapt positively from: Exercise, fasting, getting out of your comfort zone (also known as Eustress) 3.⁠ ⁠⁠Parasympathetic activation | Think: Time in nature, meditation, sauna, lying in bed with someone you love (relaxing stimulus) 4.⁠ ⁠Parasympathetic strengthening | Training yourself to be calm in stressful situations: Breathwork, or most commonly; remaining calm during a cold plunge Mastering all 4 elements makes it simple and easy to look after your nervous system.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The goal is to balance sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Train yourself to remain calm in stressful situations (ice bath), but balance this with relaxing stimuli (sauna). Our world is designed to keep us in a sympathetic state. Therefore, focus on the more neglected part: parasympathetic state ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

My preferred, battle-tested methods for parasympathetic activation: • Sauna • Breathwork • Epsom salt bath • The Doubling Method • Physical touch from a partner • Time in nature (especially in the sun) The goal is to chill the fu*k out. https://t.co/CC7Hu7O3Pa

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

When you're in a coherent state, HRV increases, showing your body's systems are in harmony. Stress lowers coherence, but you can't always control external stressors. So, the key is resilience—building it by increasing HRV, so you can handle whatever life throws your way.

BAKING SODA is the most overlooked medicine on Earth. It fights cancer, kills inflammation, and reduces stress—yet costs pennies per dose. Recently, I’ve been digging into its healing properties. What I found is mind-blowing: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It reduces chronic inflammation In animal studies, baking soda was shown to reduce inflammatory mediators and pain markers. By decreasing acidity, it improves immune cell function and decreases the overactivation of inflammatory pathways.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It’s nature's oral pH balancer Your mouth's harmful bacteria can only survive in specific acidic conditions. When you brush with baking soda, you create an alkaline environment they can't tolerate. Mix 1 tablespoon with water. Watch plaque-causing bacteria vanish.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It slows the decline of kidney function Kidney disease can lead to blood becoming too acidic (metabolic acidosis) when kidneys can't filter properly. This is why baking soda is powerful—it neutralises excess acid in your blood, just like it does for heartburn.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Reduces circulating cancer cells and shrinks tumors Animal studies show that baking soda in drinking water dramatically reduces tumor activity. By alkalising the extracellular environment, it decreases acidity, which is a key driver of cancer cell proliferation, metastasis, and resistance to treatment.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It degrades pesticides on your vegetables Baking soda is the most effective method of removing pesticides from veggies. If you can’t buy truly organic—soak veggies in baking soda for 12 mins and rinse them of to remove all the chemicals.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It improves exercise performance Baking soda has a high pH—which may help delay fatigue—allowing you to exercise at your peak for longer. Fact: Baking soda supplementation is banned in horse racing due to its unfair performance-enhancing effects.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Use for heartburn, indigestion & ulcers Baking soda works like Tums or Rolaids. • Mix 1/2 teaspoon baking soda in 1/2 cup water • Take 1-2 hours after meals While it helps with acid reflux and ulcers, don't use long-term. It can trigger more acid production over time.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It’s effective against the flu and cold In 1924, Dr. Cheney discovered something fascinating: Baking soda knocked out cold & flu symptoms within 36 hours. His protocol was published in "Arm & Hammer Baking Soda Medical Uses." Recommended dosages were: • Day 1 — Take six doses of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at about two-hour intervals • Day 2 — Take four doses of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water, at the same intervals • Day 3 — Take two doses of 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda in glass of cool water morning and evening, and thereafter 1/2 teaspoon in glass of cool water each morning until cold symptoms are gone

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Improves sleep quality Studies on bicarbonate baths (1g/L of water) demonstrate: • Faster onset of sleep • Increased sleep duration • Improved sleep efficiency Neutralising acidity enhances relaxation and reduces hormonal disturbances that disrupt sleep ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

• Add 1/2 - 1 pound of baking soda to the hottest bath you can handle • Soak for 15 minutes • Go straight to bed This bath helps the alkali reach your system, which aids in fighting off the grippe germs.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ It helps lower stress Cortisol, the body’s stress hormone, increases in acidic states to help buffer pH. Baking soda directly neutralises systemic acidity, reducing the need for cortisol. Dose: 1/4-1/2 tablespoon.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

What about dosing? It depends on its intended use. • Heartburn: 1/2 tsp in 1/2 cup water • Athletic performance: 0.2-0.3 grams per kg BW • Baths: 1g per litre of bathwater Avoid overuse or if you have kidney problems, high blood pressure, or sodium-restricted diet.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

I've been looking into baking soda's health benefits—this cheap stuff might be the best medicine nobody knows about. Also I'm curious: Have you used baking soda therapeutically? What's your experience? Comment down below.

Ivermectin is the future of cancer treatment. This drug was once labeled "horse de-wormer." Today, extensive research reveals it has 15 powerful ANTI-CANCER mechanisms of action. Let’s look at the science behind how it works: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

First off, IVM had earned Merck’s scientists a Nobel Prize in 2015 for saving millions from parasitic diseases. WHO even listed it as an “essential medicine.” During COVID, it was a target of ridicule. Today, we look at it as a potential anti-cancer drug ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Ivermectin has at least 15 anti-cancer mechanisms of action (apoptosis, autophagy, pyroptosis, etc.) Let me explain the above-mentioned ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Apoptosis Apoptosis is a programmed cell death—a natural process where cells are instructed to self-destruct in an organised way. Cancer cells evade this mechanism, but treatments like Ivermectin may help restore this cellular cleanup system.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Autophagy It forces cancer cells to "eat themselves" through their internal recycling system. Studies on breast cancer cells showed IVM increases LC3, Bclin1, Atg5 (autophagy proteins) forming "self-eating" structures. Scientists proved this by blocking the process. Cancer-killing stopped.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

→ Pyroptosis Think of it as your body's controlled explosion system. Cells detect threats via inflammasomes, activate caspase-1, and trigger Gasdermin D, causing them to swell and explode. This inflammatory death releases signals alerting the immune system, potentially key in fighting cancer and infection.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Other IVM’s anti-cancer mechanisms of action: • Inhibits tumor growth/proliferation • Inhibits tumor initiation/progression • Regulates tumor micro-environment • Causes cancer cell mitochondrial dysfunction • Stops cancer cell migration, invasion & metastasis

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

According to Dr. William Makis: “They [researchers] have found that if you give higher doses of Ivermectin than what’s been used for COVID-19, that it actually can stop the growth of these cancer cells, it can stop their metastases, and it can actually engage apoptosis and autophagy and kill these cancer cells.”

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

In this interview with the cancer surgeon Dr. Kathleen Ruddy, she talks about her patient who had cancer in 11 bones in his body. A few months later, this patient was told he was in a remission. How is this possible? He took Ivermectin ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

During COVID, IVM worked safely in prevention and treatment. Why did they vilify it? What went wrong? As always, the answer is money. • Ivermectin: 40¢/dose • The new drug—Molnupiravir: $700/course Once you see it—you can't unsee it.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

For centuries, naturopaths used nature's medicine. Then Big Pharma buried it. But they missed Barbara O’Neill—a 71-year-old naturopath proving nature still heals what modern doctors can’t. Here are her 9 foundational pillars for optimal health and longevity: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

1) Sun With vitamin D deficiency on the rise, sun exposure is CRUCIAL. While we're told to use sunscreen against 'harmful' UV rays, studies show sunscreen's chemicals can disrupt hormones and cause skin cancer. She advises sun in moderation, not sunscreen ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

2) Abstain The dictionary definition of temperance is not to take anything into the body that will harm it and to take in moderation all good things. Eliminating this list from the diet is essential in maintaining the body’s correct pH balance.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

3) Sleep Sleep gives our brain cells a chance to heal. When not, it leads to premature ageing, disease, and poor overall functioning in an organ or tissue. She says 8 hours of sleep is a MUST. But why? Because during sleep, pineal gland releases these hormones:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

4) Inhale The presence of oxygen is the absence of disease. Always INHALE through the nose. When you nose-breath, you open small canals in the back of the nose. This helps the brain get more oxygen and detoxifies your body.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Nature gave us numerous detox pathways: • Liver • Skin • Lungs • Breath • Kidneys • Colon and intestines The best way to clear the nasal passage is with facial stretches and fire breathing (Pranayama) ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

5) Nutrition Food is a fuel for life. It performs or deforms. At its core, her diet is a plant-based eating plan that emphasises whole, minimally processed foods. Barbara follows a high-fiber, alkaline-focused diet rich in legumes, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

6) Trust in the higher power Barbara claims we can heal physically and mentally using God-given resources: water, herbs, and our brains. This divine toolkit helps us overcome any illness. You can't heal if you don't BELIEVE that you can heal first.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

7) Moderation Be patient with your body. The process of healing is a natural one and should not be rushed—which also ties in with Trust in God. When you TRUST that healing will happen on a divine watch, you’ll trust that you’ll get there, eventually.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

8) Exercise More people rust out than wear out. Too much or too little exercise can both create an acidic condition in the body. Strength comes through exercise, and activity is the very condition of life. Barbara exercises on an empty stomach. Here is why:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

9) Use of water True hydration: Water + Celtic Sea Salt (CSS) CSS contains magnesium chloride, bromide, and sulphate. Mucous membranes absorb the minerals from CSS and take it to the cell. Once you drink water, those minerals pull the water inside the cell. She explains:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Pharmaceutical corporations tried to ban her alternative medicine practice. They alleged her natural healing methods were 'harmful' due to the absence of drugs. But are her methods truly dangerous? Or does she pose a threat to their profits? The answer lies in one man.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The reason work like this was abolished is due to John D. Rockefeller. I'm exposing how he buried healers, created Big Pharma, and built an empire that profits from your illness. The video is live on YouTube (go watch): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6Lr_4KlXyc

The most common question in my DMs: Can you detox from the COVID vaccine? After studying work from Dr. Peter McCullough and other world-leading experts on vaccine detox… Here is the post-vaccine detoxification protocol I’m using: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

First off, DISCLAIMER: This is not medical advice. It pains me to say, but I took the jab twice. (more on why another time) After multiple clients reported post-vaccine heart and respiratory issues, I had to dig deeper. So, this is the protocol I developed for myself:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

After overwhelming demand in my Telegram group, I've decided to share this publicly. The complete post-vaccine protocol, broken into 3 parts: 1) Beginner (Risk-Free) 2) Advanced (Research Required) 3) Gut Healing Protocol Full breakdown below ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Level 1: Beginner Protocol (Risk-Free) • Methylene Blue breaks down harmful pathogens and blocks viral replication through its powerful antimicrobial properties. It's particularly effective against SARS-CoV2 while supporting your mitochondrial function and cellular health. • Paired with Iodine—which naturally binds to toxins and aids your body's detoxification pathways—this creates a powerful yet safe foundation for cleansing. Both supplements are well-researched.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

3 Supplement Stacks → Spike Protein Detox Stack • Nattokinsae 2000 • Bromelain • St. John’s Wort → Anti-Oxidant Stack • High-dose vitamin C • Glutathione + NAC • Quercetin → General support stack + distilled water, sauna, fasting, leafy greens • Curcumin • d3 + k2 • Magnesium

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

LEVEL 2: Advanced Protocol (Research required before starting) Ivermectin/FenBen act as both an anti-parasitic and potent anti-viral agents. Dr. William Makis has extensively documented their effectiveness, particularly in cancer treatment.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

• Zeolite works as a natural binder for toxins. • C60 provides enhanced antioxidant protection at the cellular level. These require careful research and dosage adjustment. Do not start without proper understanding.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

LEVEL 3: Gut Healing (simple & effective) • CanXida Remove (eliminate gut dysbiosis) • CanXida Restore (digestive support) • Ultimate GI repair (gastrointestinal support)

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

If the mRNA vaccine is perfectly safe—why are countless people suffering from severe side effects? Heart palpitations, tachycardia, and respiratory issues are common reports I've seen. As someone who took the jab… Here is what I’m doing to prevent adverse effects: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The world’s richest man built the entire healthcare system to keep you sick. He transformed healing into a profit-driven machine—and buried natural medicine in the process. This man is John D. Rockefeller. And here is the dark story of how he did it: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The current medical system operates on the philosophy of "patient cured, customer lost." Americans are among the world's unhealthiest people despite spending the most on healthcare. Meanwhile: Functional medicine and holistic treatments are labelled as unscientific quackery.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

In America: • 41.9% of people are obese • 70 million suffer from gut issues • 48% have cardiovascular diseases • 6 in 10 adults have one chronic disease There is clearly something rotten in the healthcare system, with its roots stretching back to Rockefeller…

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

In the early 1900s, Rockefeller's ruthless tactics, like bribery and price-fixing, gave his Standard Oil control of 90% of US oil production, making him the richest man ever, worth over half a trillion today. As the oil industry boomed...

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Rockefeller found himself with an excess of petrochemical byproducts. The solution? Turn these waste products into the building blocks of a new industry: Pharmaceutical drugs. But there was a problem ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Natural medicine was popular at the time. Many doctors and medical schools were using holistic practices as treatment and cure. It was Rockefeller’s biggest threat because he could not patent the natural remedies. So, he decided to “kill” his competition.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

He hired Abraham Flexner to submit a report to Congress in 1910. This report "concluded" that there were too many doctors and medical schools in America, and that all the natural healing modalities that had existed for hundreds or thousands of years were unscientific quackery AND THEY SHOULD BE LABELLED “ALTERNATIVE.”

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The first step? Takeover of medical schools. He leveraged his tax-exempt foundations to offer irresistible donations to the nation's top medical schools. This came with strings attached—adopting an exclusively allopathic-based curriculum. What does that mean?

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Allopathic medicine treats symptoms with drugs and surgery, not root causes or prevention. Conversely, holistic methods address the underlying issue and cannot be patented. Petrochemical drugs, however, could be patented, mass-produced, and sold at high prices.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Here is the kicker: The Rockefeller’s father, William was a criminal—selling snake oil, opium elixirs, patent medicines, and other miracle cures. John D. leveraged his family's medical background to create a profitable, multi-generational enterprise. The numbers don't lie:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

America has the highest health expenditure, but the lowest life expectancy in the entire world. Meanwhile, Big Pharma is a $1.5 TRILLION business. And is booming every year. Let that sink in.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Let me clarify this: I'm not criticising the people working in this healthcare system. I don't think they are evil. They are good people, stuck in a system that is rotten. And this can only mean one thing:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Taking control of your health is your fundamental duty. It’s the foundation that everything else is built upon. Health is literally the prerequisite to anything you want to achieve.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Nature gave us the original medicine: sunlight, water, whole foods, sleep, and movement. But our modern world requires more than these natural tools. For this reason, I devoted my life to functional medicine—to give you the complete system for thriving in a toxic world.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

METHYLENE BLUE is literally the strongest legal performance enhancer. After 6 months of usage, the cognitive and energy benefits exceeded all my expectations. How I'm using it (and its incredible benefits): 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Methylene blue (MB), originally synthesised in 1876 as a textile dye—yes, a textile dye—is now one of the most potent supplements. Before discussing its mechanism and benefits, listen to this excellent explanation of MB by Dr. Eric Berg:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Methylene blue acts as an electron shuttle in the mitochondria, bypassing blocks in the electron transport chain. This helps maintain energy (ATP) production when the normal pathway is impaired.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

I began taking methylene blue 6 months ago and have continued ever since. Despite its awful flavour, the benefits are well worth it ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

1) Brain Mitochondrial Enhancer Our brain relies on oxidative metabolism for energy, making proper mitochondrial function crucial for brain health. MB prevents premature brain cell death while supporting energy production and the growth of new neural connections.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

2) Cognitive Enhancer MB is known as a nootropic. It increases ATP production in the brain, providing the energy needed for enhanced brain performance. It's one of the best options for improving attention span, memory, and overall cognition. I definitely feel sharper on MB.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

3) MB Against Infectious Diseases MB has antimicrobial properties, making it effective against various pathogens (bacterial, viral, and fungal). It also aids in C19 treatment by inhibiting SARS-CoV2 replication.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

4) MB Delays Skin-Aging MB has the ability to delay skin aging as well ↓ • Increases cell longevity • Protects skin from UV exposure • Accelerates the wound healing process Additionally, MB's antimicrobial properties are beneficial for skin, too.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

5) MB as Anti-Depressant MB works as a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), increasing serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine levels. Plus, it reduces brain inflammation. Clinical research shows 15mg/day significantly improved depression symptoms compared to placebo in a controlled trial.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Here’s how I prefer to take methylene blue: • Start with 5 drops (2.5 mg) daily, steadily increase to 12 (6 mg) if you respond well • Up to 15 drops (7.5 mg) if I have a key outcome that I’m taking it for (anti-infection, cognitive enhancement, etc.) • I have experimented with 15 drops twice per day and seen diminishing returns. (No additional benefits seen) The sweet spot for me is 12 drops per day.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Consumption: Add MB to fresh orange juice to avoid blue tongue/mouth staining. Other liquids that also work well: Kombucha, raw milk. Be cautious not to spill—it stains. Note: If it does get on your skin, it’s always worn off within a day for me.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

I’ve been using it consistently, on and off, for 6 months. I prefer to cycle MB. When you come off most of the effects don’t stick around, for periods up to 30 days. For higher dosages, I take for shorter periods (7-14 days) Consistent dosage (5-12 drops) up to 30 days. I usually take MB according to my work output: High work output = I take more Low work output = I take less (or not at all)

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Is it safe? Like any drug, it is safe when used correctly. However, here are important points to consider: • Do not use with antidepressants (SSRIs) ↓ • If you've a G6PD deficiency, it can cause anemia • Microdose (1-5mg) to avoid blood pressure and heart effects

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Our nervous system didn't evolve to handle constant stimulation. However, today's world floods us with constant stimuli—causing chronic dysregulation. To fix it, you need a nervous system reset. And it starts with these 15 simple lifestyle changes: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

1) Switch aggressive music to healing sounds Aggressive music gets your adrenaline flowing—creating a state of agitation—which is detrimental in the long run. You don’t want to be hyped up all the time. Instead, switch to hand-pan music whilst working.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

2) Switch coffee to ceremonial cacao Coffee increases cortisol. Chronic elevation of cortisol leads to chronic stress, which eventually leads to burnout. To reset, drink ceremonial cacao. It’ll provide a desired boost with these benefits below.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

3) Switch ice baths to Epsom salt bath Epsom salt bath is rich in magnesium sulphate which reduces muscle tension and inflammation. You can still do ice baths. But not without proper parasympathetic activation.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

4) Switch noise-canceling wireless headphones to wired earphones You don’t want to fry your brain for hours every single day. This is one of the best things I’ve done for myself. If you are hesitant to get rid of yours, watch this:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

5) Switch meditation to breathwork Meditation takes months to foster a deeper connection to the source. With breathwork, you can experience it in just one session. When connected, you feel grounded and at peace. My best practice (try it now and continue reading) ↓

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Double Inhales Breath in until you feel "full." Once full, take another short-sharp inhale through your nose. Breath out fully over 12 seconds. Repeat as needed. Tell me the world didn’t slow down?

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

6) Switch bottled beer to kombucha. To reset, you want to avoid alcohol. 7) Switch podcasts during travel time to presence and re-connection. 8) Switch mindless scrolling to intentional scroll on Twitter (as you are doing now) or don’t scroll at all.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

9) Switch your iPhone alarm to Sleep Cycle. The app tracks sleep phases via sound patterns. It wakes you up during lightest sleep stage within a 30-min window. Clinically proven to reduce morning grogginess by aligning with natural sleep cycles.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

10) Switch hustle culture to strategic rest Constant cognitive load depletes prefrontal cortex function. 4 hours of deep focused work daily will always outperform 12 hours of scattered tasks. Combine daily deep work with complete disconnection. Trust me, peak performance requires rest.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

11) Switch light mode to dark mode We all know blue light can disrupt our circadian rhythm, melatonin production, and overall sleep quality. Dark mode is a no-brainer. Your phone will become less interesting and you will not spend as much time online, chasing cheap dopamine.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

12) Switch fasting to morning fats and protein Your stress hormones spike when you wake up, and skipping breakfast (fasting) keeps these stress levels high. Start your day with a simple low-carb meal, such as eggs and avocado. Gradually introduce carbs throughout the day.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

13) Switch polyester to linen clothing Polyester contains endocrine-disrupting phthalates and dimethyl fumarate. These synthetics accumulate in body tissue through skin contact while linen allows skin to breathe and contains no artificial hormone disruptors. A simple switch, yet super-effective.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

14) Switch your primary phone to your 2nd phone I use it to: • Set alarms: No option for media sources upon waking • Listen to mixes whilst I work/train • Receive 2FA codes through Google Voice I’m way calmer and far more productive.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

15) Switch closed shoes to barefoot contact Grounding is the universal anti-inflammatory medicine. Our feet are loaded with nerve endings. The Earth is charged with an electrical frequency that matches your nervous system and immune system. So, the bare feet allow us to absorb that energy.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

These were my top picks. But if you're interested in exploring the nervous system reset further, I developed quantum. to teach you EXACTLY that. Plus, you’ll receive 6 other tools to maximise your health potential. Get it below (it’s free): https://quantum.join-aura.com/

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

ADHD is not a disorder. It’s a difference in cognition. You need to harness it, not sedate with pills. Once you do, it will make you hyper-focus. Here’s what you can do to turn ADHD into a superpower: 🧵

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

First off, what is ADHD? A persistent pattern of inattention or hyperactivity/impulsivity that disrupts functioning. Symptoms: • Short attention span • Easily distracted (spacing out) • Constantly changing activities • Unable to concentrate on tedious tasks But…

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

In my experience with clients, individuals with ADHD are attention-different people. They do not have an attention deficit. Once you place them in their zone of genius, they thrive (which I’ll explain in a minute). But first, let’s get to the root cause.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Scientists have discovered there are differences in the brains, nerve networks, and neurotransmitters of people with ADHD. Let’s start with the brain. When it doesn’t fully develop—it can’t do its job properly...

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Some neural networks may be less effective. The brain can take longer to “switch off” in the default mode network (DMN). It’s active when you are, i.e. day-dreaming. For people with ADHD, it’s harder to switch off from this “daydream mode” to “focus mode" 👇🏽

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

There are two types of attention: bottom-up (unconscious) and top-down (conscious). Bottom-up: driven by external stimuli, i.e. loud noise Top-down (controlled): driven by goals, intentions, or what you think matters, i.e. a business goal People with ADHD struggle with the latter. Bottom-up impairs top-down—which is why you struggle to focus.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

For example: You know you need to do something, you intend to do it, yet you don't do it. This applies not only to trivial tasks, like throwing trash in a bin, but also to more important matters.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Now, there are a plenty of ADHD treatments such as Elvanse (similar to Ritalin), Adderall, Atomoxetine capsules, etc. Let’s analyse the Elvanse real quick:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

It is a central nervous system stimulant (CNS) It increases dopamine (pleasure, movement, attention span) and norepinephrine (stimulant). When you come off, you are no longer blocking their reabsorption, so they fall below baseline. The result?

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Depleted dopamine which leads to low mood, less pleasure, pain, and headaches. Depleted norepinephrine which leads to low HRV (poor control of sympathetic function) and migraines from depletion of sympathetic norepinephrine stores. Put simply...

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Elvanse stimulates your nervous system to produce dopamine and norepinephrine. When you aren’t taking Elvanse… Your body will be less effective at producing them naturally (leading to a need to take it). But what about hyper-excitability?

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Hyper-excitable individuals struggle to slow down and manage external stress. People with ADHD can easily get distracted by an unexpected call or meeting. This is a dysfunction in cerebral cortex (the imbalance of dopamine and norepinephrine). Not to mention GABA…

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

GABA is your brain’s “brake pedal.” It reduces excitability. People with ADHD have lower levels of GABA (weak brakes). This is why you struggle to calm down. This can also lead to epilepsy, chronic pain, anxiety, etc.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Stimulants such as Elvanse and Ritalin affect the GABA pathway. Remember, GABA is the “brake pedal.” Low GABA = cortical hyper-excitability My client had this exact problem. Here is how we’ve solved it:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

First off, support health neurotransmitter function. We limited stimulants by performing a factory reset: • No loud music • No screens • No caffeine • No medication It takes roughly 30 days to return to baseline.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Then naturally increase neurotransmitters: • GABA • Dopamine • Norepinephrine Reduce the above stimulants, control mind-created stress, and optimise your life for parasympathetic activation. How?

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

My battle-tested tools: • Sauna • Meditation • Proper sleep • Epsom salt bath • Personalised supplementation • Grounding/spending time under the sun • Specific breathwork exercises (that I provide) Moving on.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Train yourself to manage stimulus better. Precisely, train your parasympathetic nervous system. How? • Red light therapy • Cold water therapy • Vagus nerve stimulation • Control mind-created stress

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Deactivate with the breath. As referred above, I gave him specific breathwork exercises to bring him back to a calm baseline. As a breathwork facilitator, I can assure you—breathwork is your best friend here.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

And finally, harness your gift. As I said, you don’t have attention deficit. You have different attention. Position yourself within your zone of genius, aligned with your skills and interests. Eliminate, delegate, and systematise the rest. Huberman's explanation is perfect:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

You don’t need to "eliminate" ADHD. You don’t need to sedate it with medication. My client stopped using medication after this protocol—and he's thriving now. I've provided insights into his transformation that you can apply. But if you want to explore further…

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

This is Gary Brecka. He's the man who saved the life of UFC president Dana White. Gary applied a biohacking protocol on Dana that tripled his life expectancy. Here's that protocol:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The Superhuman Protocol This protocol is a whole-body solution that naturally makes you the ultimate human. It boosts cellular function in the body from the inside out, using 3 of Earth’s natural elements. Gary explains:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

The Horrible Health Of Dana White Initially, Dana wanted Gary to predict how long he has to live. Gary got his bloodwork done. At 1:30 AM, the lab alerted him about Dana's life-threatening situation. He was on the brink of death...

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

After 10 weeks on superhuman protocol, Dana was unrecognisable. He went from dying to tripling his life expectancy and looking like a Hollywood star. He literally became a superhuman at 54.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Before we dive into the exact steps of the protocol... You must know all the mind-blowing results of Dana's transformation:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Step 1: Magnetism PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy helps cells function better. It improves: • Metabolism • Energy in cells • Removal of toxins Dana used a costly PEMF mat. Here's the natural method with the same effectiveness:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Step 2: Oxygen The presence of oxygen is the absence of disease. During light exercise, an oxygen mask seals off outside air. Thus, you are breathing in 93% pure oxygen. It improves blood flow, oxygen circulation, and ATP production. Again, here's the free no-mask method:

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Breathwork Changed My Life It provided stability and security during the most stressful times. My favourite breathwork method? Double inhale. • Inhale through your nose until you're full • Then inhale sharply through your nose • Combine this with a long-slow exhale • Repeat the cycle It's also known as "Corporate Breathwork" for its stress-fighting power.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Step 3: Light In this case, red light therapy (RLT) benefits cell rejuvenation, tissue healing, inflammation reduction, and pain relief. The major benefit is skin rejuvenation. RLT stimulates collagen and elastin production for healthier skin. Natural light is as efficient.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

If you're living in a country where there's no light in the morning... Use an artificial lamp at your working desk. Also, to dive deeper into red light therapy, I wrote an entire issue below. Let's continue.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Light is a lot like food. Similar to how our bodies digest fats, carbs, and proteins, we uniquely metabolise colours of light as well. It’s well-known that the human body needs sunlight, which is a combination of: • The entire visible light spectrum (400-700 nm) • UV (10-400 nm) • Near infrared (700-1100 nm) • Far infrared wavelengths (1000-3000 nm). Scientists have also found that our cells respond particularly strongly to: • Red light (620–700 nm) • Near-infrared light (700–1100 nm) In fact, hundreds of peer-reviewed clinical studies have proven that specific wavelengths of red and near infrared light within the "therapeutic window" enhance mitochondrial function at a cellular level. This light passes through human tissue more easily, penetrating deep into muscle and joint tissue; stimulating the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), which is the mode of chemical energy transportation at the cellular level. Cells receive this rejuvenating, anti-aging energy boost that enables them to perform their natural functions at a heightened level. Here are just a few of the documented benefits of red light therapy: • Improves skin clarity, tone, and texture • Stimulates production of collagen and elastin • Diminishes freckles, age spots, and acne • Reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and puffy eyes • Fades scars and stretch marks • Speeds wound healing and reduces joint inflammation • Aids in muscle recovery and enhances athletic performance It's a no-brainer if you're serious about improving your health.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Aging Is The Aggressive Pursuit Of Comfort We need to stop telling people to: • Fear the sun or cold water • Lay down and relax • Eat when they feel hunger This is collapsing all of our strength mechanisms. We're born to be uncomfortable.

@bensmithlive - Ben Smith

Dana is a prime example of what happens when you sacrifice health for more work. He didn't value health until the sickness came. As someone who lost his health once with IBS, trust me when I say: Take care of your body. It's the only place you have to live in.
