READ THIS IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GET SICK THIS WINTER.

Here is the ULTIMATE PROTOCOL for preventing + curing your sickness this winter (& why it works):

1. VITAMIN C

◇ Improves immune clearance of pathogens
◇ Antioxidant protection
◇ Collagen production (forms physical barriers to infection)
◇ Vital for development of immune cell differentiation (gene regulation)

Vitamin C powerfully protects against common cold.

1-3g per day, reduces:

◇ Sick days
◇ Symptom severity - headache, fever, chills, cough
◇ Frequency of colds

Acerola cherry powder seems to be handled better in the gut than pure vitamin C.

90% of men are low on testosterone nowadays, and the problem is only getting worse.

But what should we do about it?

This is your FULL GUIDE to TESTOSTERONE - the fundamentals you MUST address to optimize your levels:

1. DIET FOR TESTOSTERONE

Seed oils lower testosterone.

Compared to coconut or olive oil, they:

➜ Lower test producing enzymes
➜ Lower cholesterol in the testicles
➜ Cause testicular oxidative damage

cholesterol in the testicles directly fuels T production.

Lower fat and low saturated fat diets decrease testosterone.

Should come as no surprise that T is on the decline when we've swapped out androgenic saturated fats for seed oils.

◇ Coconut oil
◇ Olive oil
◇ Tallow
◇ Butter

are all much better options.

DHEA: a fountain of youth.

For lowering cortisol, improving cognitive function & mood, vibrant skin and fat loss, it might be just what you need.

Here’s why researchers have called aging “DHEA deficiency syndrome:”

DHEA nearly cuts cortisol in half.

Supplemented at 25 mg per day.

DHEA directly acts on the enzyme that produces cortisol and suppresses its production.

With aging and disease, cortisol rises relative to DHEA.

DHEA improves metabolic health.

50 mg / day:

◇ Reduces body fat percentage
◇ Reduces belly fat
◇ Lowers inflammation
◇ Lowers blood sugar
◇ Lowers triglycerides
◇ Lowers insulin

opposing all of the actions of cortisol, and improving thyroid function.

STOP focusing on DHT & finasteride for male pattern baldness ("androgenetic alopecia").

Here's what doctors won't tell you... the REAL PROBLEM BEHIND PATTERN BALDNESS:

First off, I would like to say that:

I am NOT

1. bald or have ever been
2. claiming DHT is irrelevant

I AM

1. Claiming we should not FOCUS on lowering testosterone or DHT, and that androgens nor genetics are the TRUE ROOT CAUSE of MPB.
2. Claiming DHT is necessary for male pattern baldness, BUT NOT SUFFICIENT.

To give the androgen - genetic model its credit:

1. There is strong heritability of baldness
2. DHT is higher in balding scalp
3. Stopping DHT can help regrow hair
4. DHT can shrink hair follicles through the androgen receptor
5. Genetic variations in the androgen receptor can drive it
6. People with no androgens are immune from baldness

Seems like an open and shut case, but let's get into why blaming androgens is actually silly.

Male pattern baldness increases with age.

This is important because:

1. It means it is potentially another age related disease, like Alzheimer's or cancer
2. Androgen production DECLINES as we get older

Getting old sucks. Especially for your brain.

Here are 6 tools to help keep you sharp, your brain young and cognitive decline away:

1. CREATINE

Creatine is therapeutic for cognitive decline.

Those who accumulate the notorious Tau and Beta Amyloid proteins in the brain have impaired creatine metabolism,

but supplying creatine back combats this, protecting neurons and reducing protein accumulation.

Creatine works by serving as an energy producing substrate.

This extra energy is why it helps you in the gym - but in the brain, this:

‣ Supports brain cell growth
‣ Coordinates neurotransmitter release
‣ Supports neuron communication
‣ Improves cognitive performance

The poisons WRECKING your health that your doctor doesn’t want to talk about.

This is the COMPLETE GUIDE to TOXIC HEAVY METALS - how you get exposed, sick, and what to do about it:

SOURCES OF HEAVY METAL EXPOSURE:

The main heavy metals of concern are aluminum, nickel, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury.

Due to pollution and industrialization, these elements that normally reside deep in the earth have been introduced to our environment in unprecedented amounts.

As a result, heavy metals have made their way into damn near every aspect of our modern lives.

● Vegetables - due to soil contamination
● Grains (especially brown rice)
● Canned foods - using metals
● Chocolate (especially dark)
● Pesticides - which incorporate heavy metals
● Seafood (especially larger fish) - as the ocean gets contaminated from pollution
● Vaccines - used as preservatives
● Water
● Medical devices
● Cigarettes / vapes
● The air itself
● Supplements
● Dental devices
● Utensils
● Aluminum foil
● Cookware (+ utensils)
● Drugs
● Jewelry
● Tattoos
● Glassware
● Cars (especially working on engines)
● Batteries
● Wires
● Paint (especially old)
● Piping
● Sewage
● Ceramic
● Gasoline / oil
● Grills/charcoal
● Personal care products
● Cosmetics
● Baking powder
● Food additives

If you work in a lab, with batteries, cars, if you’re a welder, electrician, or any type of manual labor that requires contact with metal, oil, gas, or other industrial processes, chances are you’re getting disproportionately exposed to these.

HEAVY METAL TOXICITY SIGNS / SYMPTOMS:

These poisons have such a fundamental way of disrupting normal biology / biochemistry that they can impact nearly every aspect of health.

◍ Mental / cognitive health
◍ Fat gain
◍ Hormonal disruptions
◍ Liver problems
◍ Cancer
◍ Gut issues - IBS, IBDs
◍ Respiratory issues
◍ Fatigue
◍ Kidney problems
◍ Heart diseases
