4 reasons why you can't lose weight

& what you should do about it

THREAD
1. Carbs at breakfast

Spiking your insulin in the morning is making you a fat accumulating machine

Your body releases a hormone called insulin to use up sugar

Insulin also = fat storage

Timing your carbs later in the day helps you stay in a fat-burning mode longer
2. Poor Liver health

Your liver is your filtration system

It cleans out all the junk cycling through your body

One of these is Estrogen which cycles back into your bloodstream & get stored into your fat cells

Your fat cells then grow, divide & multiply

aka you get fatter
Use Magnesium, DIM, I3C and Calcium D Glucarate to help flush out the excess estrogens
3. Poor Gut Health

Your gut microbiome affects how you eat

The microbiome is the ecosystem of bacteria/fungi in your gut

There's some bad ones that crave junk foods

Constant cravings stall your fat loss efforts
You need to reharmonize your gut and eliminate these bad bugs

Candida particularly

Short Fasts or antifungals like berberine are great natural way to clean up the mess

Goat Kefir gives you a nice dose of probiotics

Totally recommended
4. Avoiding Sunlight

As wacky is this may sound, your fat cells sense sunlight

The sun activates genes in your body to put you in a fat-burning mode

Vitamin D also seems to have a connection to keeping your hormones healthy

That means you stay leaner
Make it a priority to get outside and bask in that solar glory

Your lean body depends on it

If you've ever said the words:

"I'm tired"

& want to solve this problem

This thread is for you Image
Fatigue plagues the Western world, particularly the US

More than 1/3 people experience some form of fatigue on a daily basis

This makes it hard for you to concentrate and be a productive member of society

& in some cases, be an alert parent to kids that need you at your best
So what is fatigue exactly?

It's a term used to describe physical or mental tiredness

There are 3 main types:

Transient (short term)
Cumulative (long term accumulation)

Both of these happen when you're not getting proper sleep at night

We call this "sleep debt" Image

Lots of dietary supplements on the market today are filled with toxic ingredients

Here are 4 red flags you should ALWAYS look out for before buying

THREAD
1. Artificial colors

That hot pink or tropical blue dye you see in lots of products is completely unnecessary

Those colors are synthetically made in a laboratory and don't belong in your body

Not worth the carcinogenic risk

Common ones are: Red 40, Yellow 5 & Yellow 6

Avoid
2. Soy

Soy is the most pesticide-sprayed crop on the planet

Many brands choose to incorporate it in different products to add protein & cut costs at the same time

Any time you see the word soy on a label, you're better off not buying it

4 underrated minerals for your health that deserve more attention

THREAD
1) Magnesium

You’re not getting enough in your food

Plain & simple

This mineral plays a huge role in your sleep & is known as nature’s sedative

The recommendations are far lower than they should be for optimal health

Mag glycinate is your best supplement option
2) Zinc

It’s vital for your immunity, testosterone & hair growth

It’s often missed out on as best food sources include oysters or beef liver

Most people don’t eat enough of these

Do NOT supplement this long term

Eat copper rich foods as well

Glycinate/carnosine = best forms
