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):

I’ve been testing peptides for over 5 years...

So here are the top 5 fat-loss peptides that helped me get more shredded than your favorite Hollywood star at 44:

1.Retatrutide

A next-generation peptide that targets three hormones (GLP-1, GIP & glucagon) at the same time.

It helps reduce hunger, improves blood sugar control & increases fat burning.

Phase 3 trials showed up to ~28% bodyweight loss (one of the highest results ever recorded in obesity treatment):

With Retatrutide (0.6mg every other day, guided by labs), I went from 178.7 lbs at 11.9% body fat to 172.8 lbs at 7.2% (dropping ~9 lbs of fat while gaining 1.5 lbs of muscle)

With no starving or suffering:

If you’re overweight and want to lose belly fat in 2026…

Here’s the exact 11-step protocol to drop 20+ lbs in 90 days (without starving):

Step 1: The 3x5 Diet

3 meals per day. 5 hours apart. No snacking.

Breakfast + lunch: protein, veggies, fats (no carbs).
Dinner: protein, veggies, carbs (no fats).

Avoid fats and carbs in the same meal (this helps prevent insulin spikes that lead to fat storage).

Step 2: Protein First (Always)

Protein keeps you full longer.

When you eat protein first, then veggies, then fats or carbs last, you naturally eat less without forcing it.

PS: Aim for 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight per day.

In 2025 you ate 40+ credit cards worth of plastic.

These microplastics sit inside your body (heart, brain, testicles) & are linked to 10+ deadly diseases.

In this thread, I'll show you the only proven ways to detox them & how to avoid the hidden sources you're exposed to daily:

Microplastics have been linked to 20+ diseases – including cancer, 4–5× higher heart attack risk, and gut–brain damage.

Around 80% of us are already contaminated, so let’s start with the best way to stay safe: lifestyle changes (then we’ll cover how to detox a portion of them):

Of course, you avoid the obvious ones:
• Plastic cutting boards
• Plastic bottles
• Glass bottles (yes, they can contain microplastics too – read till the end to see how)
• Plastic coffee cups
• Plastic Tupperware
• Teflon pans

But the goal of this post is to expose the sneaky sources most people miss – so let’s get into it:

Peptides are behind Hollywood’s most impossible transformations.

They use them to look decades younger, build lean muscle & recover faster (even Jennifer Aniston calls them "the future" & Stallone admitted using them)

Here are the top 7 peptides making stars ageless:

Peptide No. 1 + Peptide No. 2

Tesamorelin + Ipamorelin = the GH powerhouse combo

Tesamorelin stimulates growth hormone release.
Ipamorelin increases the frequency and strength of those pulses.

Together, they keep your body’s repair switch turned on 24/7:

Peptide No. 3 + Peptide No. 4

BPC-157 + TB-500 = the Wolverine stack

BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) speeds up healing from gut to joints.
TB-500 boosts tissue repair and cuts down inflammation.

Together, they help the body recover faster – the kind of edge stars look for during long filming days:

Sugar is linked to 340,000 deaths/year.

It drives diabetes, heart disease, cancer & 10+ other deadly diseases.

In this thread, we explain why sugar is so addictive & how to eliminate cravings (with insights from a $1,000+/hour functional medicine expert):

1. Sugar cravings explained

When you eat sugar, your blood glucose spikes fast.

Your pancreas releases insulin to handle it, which crashes your blood sugar below where you started.

Now your brain screams for more sugar because you've got low blood glucose and it thinks you're starving:

2. Sugar = Class A drugs?

Sugar hits the same brain receptors as Class A drugs.

Your brain gets a massive dopamine reward, creating an immediate association: sugar equals pleasure.

Manufacturers know the exact combination of taste, texture, and mouth feel that makes you crave more:
