This man changed the game:

Dr. Peter Attia.

He dedicated his life to figuring out how humans can increase their lifespan & live to 100+.

Here are 5 game-changing habits he discovered (that you can start right now): Image
He wrote an entire book detailing how to prevent these 4 main "causes of death":

• Cancer
• Cardiovascular disease
• Neurodegenerative disease
• Type 2 diabetes and metabolic dysfunction

The goal of longevity is preventing the “4 Horsemen” as Attia calls them.

Here's how: Image
1. Exercise.

Attia refers to exercise as the most potent longevity "drug" & even ranks it above diet in importance.

An ideal exercise routine would combine strength training, Zone 2 training, & VO2 max training.

But the most important one for the average person:
Zone 2 exercises like:

• Jogging
• Cycling
• Swimming

At around 60-70% of your maximum heart rate for 30-45 minutes

The more times a week you can do this, the better

“Going from 0 weekly exercise to just 3 hours/week can reduce your risk of death from all causes by 50%”
2. Sleep.

Attia equates a lot of potentially fatal health issues to poor sleep:

• Cardiovascular disease
• Poor metabolic health
• Poor cognitive health

If you need to improve your sleep habits, you should prioritize:
• Sleeping in a dark room
• Ditching electronics before bed
• Keeping your bedroom cool (~65 degrees Fahrenheit)

As far as supplements, Attia recommends:

Magnesium L-threonate, Glycine & ashwagandha.
3. Nutrition.

We should be eating less & aiming for a low-body fat percentage.

What & how much we eat affects everything from our physical health to our cognitive health.

While Attia doesn’t believe in recommending specific foods because the science is always changing…
He recommends these 3 nutrition habits:

• Calorie restriction
• Time-restricted eating (fasting)
• Dietary restrictions (ex. Keto or Mediterranean)

These 3 eating habits can help you reduce calories if needed.
4. Emotional health.

This is one of the most underrated aspects of longevity & lifespan.

There’s a strong link between poor emotional health (loneliness, depression) & risk of mortality.

Attua recommends these habits to help with emotional health:
• Therapy
• Practice mindfulness/gratitude
• Build genuine connections/community

These things can have a physical reaction in your body:

They help your body with regulating glucose metabolism & an optimal lipoprotein profile.
5. Bone density.

As we get older, it's important to prioritize bone health & density.

Falling & fracturing bones have a mortality rate of 15%-30%.

If you break a bone, it'll limit your activity & become dangerous for overall health.

4 things Attia recommends for bone health:
• If needed, consider hormone replacement therapy
• If needed, use bone density-increasing medication
• Optimize nutrition: Focus on protein & general nutritional recommendations
• Engage in heavy exercises: Strength training with heavy weights can stimulate bone growth
& those are the 6 major components of longevity that Peter Attia has discovered.

Nitric oxide controls how long you live.

Without this molecule heart attack risk triples, erections disappear & early Alzheimer’s begins.

By age 40 you’ve lost 50% (& it won’t regenerate alone).

Here’s the science behind it and how to restore it naturally: 🧵
Loss of nitric oxide is the first step in every age-related disease

It’s the microscopic molecule that controls blood flow, oxygen delivery & cellular repair throughout your entire body.

(Stay on the thread I’ll show you how to boost it naturally at any age):
Here's the terrifying timeline:

• Age 30: Decline begins (10-12% per decade)
• Age 40: 50% gone
• Age 50: Erectile dysfunction starts
• Age 60: High blood pressure develops
• Age 70+: Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease

Your body is literally suffocating itself: Image

The healthcare cartel hides this:

Shilajit.

A 3,000-year-old resin that boosts testosterone, reverses aging & balances blood sugar.

Here’s how to use Shilajit right & avoid fake, toxic ones (science-backed): 🧵
First, we need to understand what Shilajit is.

It’s a sticky substance from the Himalayas, formed from decomposed plants, rich in bioactive compounds, and used for over 3,000 years.

But as Andrew Huberman says, there are many fake versions on the market...

(We’ll explain the purest form to use later in the thread):
Now, let’s look at some of the most insane benefits of Shilajit.

1. Boosts testosterone

A recent study tracked the testosterone levels of healthy men for 90 days straight.

The results? Truly shocking:

It was created as the "cure" for Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s…

But it became one of the most powerful fat-loss compounds ever discovered.

Here's how Tesofensine melts fat while preserving muscle & rewires your hunger signals (without injections):🧵
First, understand what Tesofensine actually is.

It was originally developed to treat Alzheimer's and dementia, but researchers discovered something unexpected during trials....

The fat loss was so dramatic they completely shifted the drug's focus:
It works by increasing three key neurotransmitters: dopamine, serotonin, and adrenaline.

This creates a perfect storm of:
• Increased metabolism
• Suppressed appetite
• Enhanced mental energy
• Improved drive and confidence

(All without the crashes of traditional stimulants):Image

Leaky gut raises your cancer risk by 6x.

The crazier part? 1 in 3 Americans walk around with it & have no clue it’s deadly.

Autoimmunity, brain dysfunction & 40+ diseases come from it...

Here’s what kills your gut & how to heal it (based on science):🧵
First we have to understand what a leaky gut is...

Everyone’s talking about it but no one knows exactly what it is.

Watch this video to learn in less than 60 seconds:
Now let’s look at some of your gut’s worst enemies:
• Processed foods & seed oils
• Sugar & artificial sweeteners
• Antibiotics (kill good bacteria)
• Chronic stress
• Alcohol
• Even your mouthwash...

Do these long enough & your whole system collapses from the inside out: Image

1 in 3 men have zero libido by 35.

And it's not just a bedroom problem...it's your heart, hormones & brain screaming for help.

Instead of being ashamed, follow these 8 ways to fix it naturally: 🧵

1. Stop training 7 days a week
First, let’s start with a fact: 1 in 3 men have low libido today compared to an estimated 5% in 1980.

It's not just reduced sex drive...it's fatigue, brain fog & depression.

Your body is shutting down reproduction because it thinks you're dying from chronic stress & sleep deprivation:
Men are suffering from it, but they stay silent thinking it's something to be ashamed of (I used to struggle with it too).

But it's not shameful, it's FIXABLE.

So let's jump into solutions that will help you restore it (bookmark them):

You're eating 5 grams of plastic weekly.

These plastics clog your arteries, slice your organs & kill your fertility.

Science says you can't detox them, but these 7 steps protect you before it's irreversible: 🧵

1. Stop using sea salt.
Before we get into solutions...

Scientists have already found microplastics in 20+ parts of the human body:
• Brain (30× liver levels)
• Lungs (deep tissue found)
• Heart (15/15 patients)
• Blood (80% samples)
• Testicles (100% tested)
• Placenta (100% samples)
• Breast milk (75% mothers)

It’s getting out of hand:
Now let's see how they're getting into your organs...then we’ll jump straight into prevention.

They're spreading through mitosis (when your cells divide, the new ones carry microplastics with them)

Watch the video below, it'll make sense in 24 seconds:
