33 health principles that I wish I would’ve known far earlier in life:

1. Water alone will not fully hydrate you. You need to mix in salt/electrolytes.

2. The sun is good for you, sunscreen causes cancer.

3. Natural caffeine is good for you but wait 1-2 hours after waking to consume and never on an empty stomach.

4. Saturated animal fats are good for you, eat more of them.

5. Not all sugar is bad. Natural sugars from fruits and honey deliver vital energy.

6. Eliminate blue light after sundown, red light filters on devices, and warm incandescent bulbs or red light panels.

7. Polyester is plastic and if your clothes, sheets, towels, or underwear are made of it, it’s getting in your skin and disrupting your endocrine system. Replace with natural fibers like cotton/wool/linen

8. Avoid touching receipts as much as possible, they’re loaded with PFAS.

9. Don’t drink from plastic water bottles whenever possible, including reusable ones. Use glass instead.

10. Shop the perimeter of the grocery store, not the aisles. This is where you’ll find the natural foods/ingredients.

11. Grounding works and will lower your inflammation, pain, and stress.

12. Red light therapy works and will help your skin, muscle recovery, and sleep.

13. Instead of lathering your face in store-bought chemical ointments to treat acne, focus on getting your gut healthy, staying hydrated, and eating clean.

14. Tallow, honey, and coco oil are the best moisturizers and the only things worth putting on your face.

15. You should wash your face with the same soap you use to wash your balls - tallow or olive oil-based

16. Steak and eggs don’t cause heart disease, seed oils do.

17. Raw milk cures lactose intolerance and is extremely nutrient-dense.

18. Eat more oysters.

19. If it’s not raw honey, don’t bother eating it. Heating (pasteurizing) honey kills most of its beneficial nutrients.

20. That being said, raw honey is one of the most life-giving substances on earth.

21. Choose your salt carefully, most are full of microplastics and lack any beneficial minerals.

22. The closer your food is to its natural state in Mother Nature, the better it is for you.

23. Don’t sleep next to wifi emitting devices or keep them in your pockets all day. Remove them from your room of completely turn off wifi at night.

24. A good reverse osmosis water filter is one of the best investments you can make for your health.

25. Shampoo is a scam. Get a water filter on your showerhead, rub a raw egg yolk into your scalp once a week, and use a small dab of coco or olive oil as a leave-in conditioner. Your hair will be healthier and more luscious than ever.

26. Never use plastic cooking utensils or non-stick pans. Replace them all with wood, stainless steel, and/or cast iron.

27. You cannot eat too much steak. Simply smile, nod, and ignore anyone who tells you otherwise.

28. Mobility, balance, and flexibility are key to living a long, independent life. It doesn’t matter how strong you are in the gym if you lack in these areas.

29. Breathwork and meditation are the building blocks of a calm, resilient mind. Practice them daily.

30. Pornography is a bioweapon.

31. Seed oils are engine lubricants, not food.

32. Veganism is not a healthy diet. It lacks sustenance and essential nutrients.

33. Consistent high-intensity training will not help you burn fat. Diet and building healthy mitochondria through zone 2 cardio will.
