Protein powders are overrated if you don't understand Essential Amino Acids.

Here's what actually matters for muscle growth and performance. 🏆🧵 Image
Image
Your body doesn’t actually use protein. It uses the building blocks of protein- amino acids.

Your body combines amino acids to form bone, muscles, hormones & neurotransmitters.

Your body can produce most of the amino acids it needs.

But there’s a twist…
There are 9 amino acids your body CANNOT produce.

You need to consume these 9 in order to function.

That's why they're called "Essential Amino Acids" or EAAs.

With these 9, your body can make all the rest.

Cool huh? Image
Protein has two major problems.

They require a highly acidic stomach to break them down and healthy intestines to absorb them.

Poor digestion leads to protein deficiency.

EAAs solve this problem.

EAAs are already broken down & absorbed within minutes.
Next, you need to know the dirty truth about protein, especially protein powders, which are garbage.

Why? Besides being highly processed & unnatural

Protein powders have the wrong ratio of amino acids.

In fact, whey and soy protein are less than 20% utilized! Image
Inside the body, most proteins convert more into sugar than muscle.

This is because their balance of amino acids WAY off.

A properly balanced EAA supplement solves this second problem as well.

Providing all 9 essential amino acids in the correct ratio.
I spent months researching EAAs.

Most EAA drink powders are loaded with artificial sweeteners & flavors.

And “all-natural” EAA drink powders taste like ass.

I solved this by creating ULTIMATE EAA tablets.

No fillers, binders, or other crap - just EAAs amazon.com/dp/B0CKTQH4XQ?…
And if you’ve tried protein powders or BCAAs, you might think you’re covered.

But the truth is, these options are incomplete.

EAAs are far superior because they:

• Enter the bloodstream rapidly. No digestion is needed.
• Give you the complete profile of 9 amino acids
Another cool thing about EAAs is they have an extremely low caloric impact.

This makes them great for maintaining muscle—even on extreme diets.

But the main users of EAAs are athletes, gym junkies, and weekend warriors.

Those looking to support healthy energy and recovery.
It took me years to research and understand amino acids. I wish I knew sooner.

So, I'm giving away a completely FREE guide to amino acids here to all of my followers.

A bit about me:

30 years ago, I was always in chronic pain, with crippling anxiety, and a broken immune system.

Since then, I’ve invested 7-figures researching the best health and performance-enhancing methods worldwide.

Fenbendazole is the future of cancer treatment.

It's helped terminal cancer patients achieve complete remission when chemo failed.

Big Pharma can't patent it, so they ignore it.

Here's everything you need to know: 🧵 Image
Fenben is a cheap veterinary medication you can buy at any pet store.

@MakisMD has documented complete cancer remissions in advanced patients using this drug.

We're talking about kidney, breast, and prostate cancers disappearing.

The mechanism? Image
Fenben attacks cancer three ways:

• Breaks its ability to divide
• Starves it of glucose
• Forces cell death

Healthy cells stay mostly unaffected. Image

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): 🧵 Image
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: Image
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…

Scientists just cracked the multiple sclerosis code after decades of searching.

Two specific gut bacteria are triggering the disease, and they've proven it using identical twins and mice.

This changes everything we know about MS:
For decades, researchers have been hunting through the gut microbiome looking for MS triggers.

They finally found them.

Using 81 pairs of identical twins where only one had MS, they eliminated genetic variables completely.

What they discovered was groundbreaking ↓
Two bacterial species kept showing up in higher numbers in MS-affected twins:

• Eisenbergiella tayi
• Lachnoclostridium

Both live in the ileum (small intestine), where inflammatory T cells gather before attacking the brain.

This location matters more than you think. Image

Gary Brecka told Joe:

“The truth is that you really need a full spectrum of Essential Amino Acids (EAAs)… and I’m telling you that’s a game changer for your workout, brother”

EAAs may be the secret reason why others are outperforming you.

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.
