Microplastics are POISONING us—slowly, silently, and PERMANENTLY.

There are TRILLIONS of microplastics everywhere and they’re

the highest they’ve ever been in our bodies—brain, liver, lungs, everywhere.

But don't panic—there are solutions: 🧵

Experts have studied microplastics since the 1960s.

But just in the last 5 years, they’ve been found in the blood, brain, semen & placenta.

They’re in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and the clothes we wear.

Just how small are these invaders?

Microplastics range in size from microscope nanoparticles to a few millmeters.

There are 2 types:

Primary: Manufactured particles used in cosmetics, clothing, etc.

Secondary: Particles broken down from larger plastics.

They penetrate us through food, air, water.

How do microplastics invade us?

• Ingestion: Up to 5g of plastic WEEKLY from food and water (exact amount still being studied).
• Inhalation: we breathe up to 22 million particles/year.
• Skin contact: Direct contact with microplastics leads to exposure.

And the bad news?

Also, microplastics can lead to huge health risks.

Studies show dementia patients have higher microplastics in their brains.

Microplastics can wreak havoc on our gut & metabolic health.

They disrupt the function of vital organs and hormones.

These are the damage they cause:

1. Brain: Neuroinflammation and cognitive decline as they breach of blood-brain barrier.

2. Heart: up to 4.5X increased risk of heart attacks & stroke.

3. Lungs: Chronic inflammation, impaired lung function, scarring from synthetic fibers.

4. Gut: Increase of harmful bacteria & disrupting digestion.

5. Metabolic health: Interference with cellular metabolism—linked to insulin resistance, obesity, and diabetes.

And the scariest part?

We can’t just REMOVE microplastics once they’re inside us.

If we can’t remove them, directly, how can we avoid microplastics?

1. Reduce plastic use—Avoid plastics in cosmetics, plastic cookware, bottles & single-use plastic.

2. Choose natural fibers—Cotton, linen, wool over synthetics like polyester.

PREVENTION is key. Here’s more👇

3. Drink purified water—High-quality filters trap microplastics from tap water.

4. No plastic in microwaves—Food can absorb tiny particles from heated plastic containers.

5. Get HEPA air purifiers—Captures small particles before you can inhale them.

5. Eat smaller fish—Fresh sardines, herring, oysters & clams consume less microplastics than larger predators.

6. Skip ultra-processed foods—They’re magnets for microplastics from machinery and packaging.

And the BEST thing you can do:

Make sure to load up on probiotics, fiber, and healthy food.

Probiotics from fermented foods like yogurt can reduce the toxicity of plastic chemicals,

While fresh, nutritious, and minimally processed food lessen health risks.

For more exceptional results:

I suggest homemade probiotic yogurt.

It’s WAY more potent than the storebought yogurt & more affordable than probiotic supplements.

I created this yogurt maker, so you can create TRILLIONS of live probiotics to support your gut health & digestion. amazon.com/dp/B0C5S6XVK7?…

Consider detoxification products such as:

• Zeolite and bentonite clay
• Activated charcoal
• NAC and glutathione
And be sure to exercise and hit the sauna to sweat out toxins.

Small changes can have a cumulative impact.

Now that we've covered plastics, are you struggling with

your weight, low energy, pain, or chronic symptoms?

For 50 years, John Ott proved artificial light was rewriting our biology.

He controlled animal sex, doubled tumor onset times, and stopped 14 terminal cancer patients from progressing.

His work hit every major journal, then vanished.

Here's what he found:

John Ott was filming apples for Disney when they refused to ripen under glass.

Only under UV-transmitting plastic would they turn red.

Morning glories wouldn't open under camera lights until he added blue filters to remove red wavelengths.

Then came the pumpkins.

Under standard fluorescent: all female flowers, pistils. Under daylight fluorescent: all male flowers, stamens.

He could control the sex of plants by changing the light spectrum alone.

He called it Mal-Illumination, light starvation, like malnutrition.

Fire your psychiatrist. They’ve never cured anything.

Want more serotonin?

95% of it isn't produced in your brain. It’s made in your GUT.

Here are 6 ways to stop your gut from sabotaging your mental health: 🧵

Meet your "second brain."

The nervous system in your gut has 500 million neurons & endocrine cells.

It senses nutrients, taste, fiber, microbes, toxins, & mechanical stimuli.

More than digestion, your gut is a critical system linked to your brain.

Your brain isn’t lacking an antidepressant—it’s missing serotonin.

Psychiatric drugs are NOT a cure, they’re a life sentence ( has the full story).

What happens when the gut fails to make serotonin?

The effects go beyond mood. CCHR.org

Glycine is the most overlooked supplement for longevity.

It makes you look younger, slows aging, and improves brain function.

Andrew Huberman & Peter Attia swear by it to stay in peak condition in their 50s.

Here's the science behind glycine (& how to use it correctly): 🧵

First off, what is glycine?

Glycine is a non-essential amino acid—your body naturally makes a small amount, but not enough for optimal health.

And modern diets leave most people deficient in glycine.

Here's why that’s a big deal as you age:

1. Glycine builds collagen

Collagen keeps your skin firm, joints smooth, and bones strong.

As you age, its production slows down.

Glycine forms the foundation of collagen. Without it, your body can’t restore what aging destroys.

But that isn’t the only thing glycine powers…

Everyone over 30 blames weight gain, brain fog, & fatigue on "getting older."

Turns out it's not your metabolism or your age...

It's your lymphatic system that's completely backed up after years of neglect.

Here's how to flush it clean and feel 20 again:

Your lymphatic system is a network of vessels that runs parallel to your blood vessels.

Blood delivers nutrients.
Lymph collects garbage: dead cells, toxins, bacteria, excess fluid.

It filters the waste through lymph nodes, then reenters your bloodstream for elimination.

Imagine lymph as your body's garbage truck.

It collects cellular waste from every tissue through a network 3x larger than your blood vessels.

But unlike blood, lymph has no heart to pump it.

It only moves when YOU move it.

Your poor bile flow is why you wake up foggy, can't lose weight, and feel like garbage.

I discovered this the hard way when my health crashed at 21.

Fixing my bile flow transformed my health.

Here's exactly how I did it (and how you can do it too):

Bile is a green-yellow fluid that your liver makes 1-1.5 quarts of daily.

It's stored in your gallbladder and released when you eat fats.

Most people think it only helps digest food, but bile is actually a powerful detoxifier and hormone regulator.

Bile talks directly to your brain through the vagus nerve.

When bile flow slows down, it messes with the production of neurotransmitters that manage stress and mood.

Suddenly, the gut correlation with anxiety, depression, and brain fog makes sense.

Sauerkraut is the most underrated superfood.

Gut health, inflammation, immunity—Sauerkraut helps them all (with virtually no side effects).

The best part? It costs pennies per serving.

Here's what Sauerkraut can do for your body (& how to get the most out of it): 🧵

Sauerkraut is fermented cabbage.

Ancient cultures relied on fermentation to preserve food.

This process produces beneficial bacteria called “probiotics” AND

“postbiotics” which are helpful compounds created when probiotics eat fibers.

Together, they unlock loads of benefits…

1. Repair your gut

Millions suffer from "leaky gut"—holes in your gut lining, allowing toxins into your blood.

This can trigger bloating, fatigue, rashes, brain fog, and more.

Sauerkraut helps seal those holes and calm your gut.

That matters more than most people think…
