Specifically, chicken in the US that's washed with chlorine (which is a lot of it).

6. Instant mashed potatoes.

Banned in the UK and Japan.

Any US brand that uses Butylated hydroxyanisole as an additive (like Hungry Jacks).

4. Rice Krispies.

Banned in the EU & Japan.

I am using sauna to cut my death risk in half at 44.

There are 50+ studies linking its use to a 40% lower cardiovascular death risk & 45+ benefits to the human body.

Here’s everything you need to know about sauna (+ how to use it properly to get all the benefits):

1. Temperature

Most people think hotter = better, but your body needs specific heat stress to trigger protective mechanisms.

The sweet spot: 70-90°C (158-194°F) for 20-30 minutes.

This raises your core temperature by 1-2 degrees, activating heat shock proteins that repair cellular damage and boost longevity.

2. Frequency

People hitting the sauna once a week think they're optimized – they're getting minimal results.

Finnish studies (following 5 million people) show:

1x per week = minimal benefit, 4-7x per week = 40% reduction in all-cause mortality + 50% reduction in cardiovascular death.

I’ve spent $10s of thousands over the last 5 years trying dozens of different peptides.

So these are the 10 best peptides for performance, fat loss & muscle preservation (ranked by effectiveness):

#1: Retatrutide

A triple agonist hitting GLP-1, GIP & glucagon receptors simultaneously.

It suppresses appetite, controls blood sugar, and promotes fat loss.

One of the most powerful tools for body recomposition and metabolic performance I've ever seen:

#2: Tesofensine (not a peptide)

Clinical trials showed approximately 10% body weight reduction in 24 weeks by suppressing hunger signals.

From my experience this compound is unmatched, but be careful with dosing.

I took 500 mcg once and didn’t sleep for two days.

Now, when I use it, I do 250 mcg every other day stacked with 5 mg MOTS-c (this is the protocol that works best for me)

I’ve tested 10+ peptides over 5 years.

So here’s the truth about how they work & the 8 most viral ones people inject without knowing what they do:

1. Peptides are natural.

Most peptides are already working inside your body right now.

Here’s exactly what they do in just 60 seconds:

I hope you watched the video above before we move forward to the list (everything will make a lot more sense).

1.BPC-157

Heals gut lining, tendons, ligaments + brain tissue.

It also reduces inflammation & speeds up recovery by stimulating VEGF (blood vessel growth) & TGF-β (cell growth control) to accelerate tissue regeneration.

P.S. BPC-157 is based on a protective protein your stomach naturally produces to help heal and repair tissue.

Your doctor will never tell you this…

But these 9 biomarkers show why you can’t lose fat and keep gaining weight no matter what you try:

1. Fasting Insulin → Fat Storage Signal

High fasting insulin means your body stays in fat-storage mode (even when you're eating less)

When insulin is chronically elevated, fat burning becomes biologically impossible.

2. HOMA-IR → Insulin Resistance Severity

This shows how resistant your cells are to insulin.

High HOMA-IR = glucose can’t enter cells → insulin stays high → fat stays on.

Most “diet failures” are insulin resistance problems.

Standard labs miss what kills you.

Here are the 9 biomarkers that predict lifespan, disease risk & how your body ages:

1. ApoB (True Heart Disease Risk)

Standard cholesterol tests measure LDL.

But ApoB measures the actual number of atherogenic particles in your blood.

High ApoB = high cardiovascular risk, even if your LDL looks "normal."

This is the number that actually predicts heart attacks.

2. hs-CRP → Chronic Inflammation

hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive protein) measures systemic inflammation.

Chronic inflammation drives heart disease, cancer, diabetes & neurodegeneration.

If your hs-CRP is elevated, your body is under constant inflammatory stress (even if you feel fine)

I saved my brother’s life.

He was obese, had chest pains & our mother thought we were losing him.

So I moved in with him & helped him drop 52 lbs in 90 days (steal the exact protocol):

The first and most important thing you need to focus on to lose weight?

Your diet.

The meal plan we used:
⤑ 3 meals a day, spaced 5 hours apart.

PS. We ate whole foods, stayed in a deficit & never mixed fats with carbs:

For lunch, we kept it simple:

• Lean protein (salmon, chicken +)
• Veggies (broccoli, sweet potato, etc.)
• Healthy fats (avocado, eggs, etc.)

Dinner looked like this:
• Lean meats
• More veggies
• Clean carbs (fruit, sweet potato, etc.)

The goal was fat loss without starving or burning out (something all of you need to copy):
