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.

Everyone thinks grey hair is the result of genetics and aging.

It's not.

It's your body cannibalizing itself to survive stress.

Here's the real culprit (and how to reverse it): 🧵
Scientists call this "cellular cannibalism."

Your stress hormones need copper to work.

During stress, your body raids this copper from hair follicles.

Your pigment-making enzyme shuts down = grey hair. Image
But there's a second problem: hydrogen peroxide.

Your immune system weaponizes H₂O₂ against infections.

Chronic viruses like Epstein-Barr flood your system with it.

This literally bleaches your hair from inside, like hair bleach building up for years.

Most people are chronically dehydrated despite drinking water all day long.

The problem isn't water volume.

It's that they're missing the cellular transport mechanisms that actually get water INTO their cells.

How to hydrate properly (backed by science):🧵 Image
Image
The "8 glasses" rule came from a 1945 misinterpretation.

The original study included water from ALL sources: food, soup, everything.

Somehow, it morphed into "drink 8 glasses of plain water."

This completely ignores how your gut and cells actually absorb water.
Your gut has a Nobel Prize-winning protein called SGLT1 that acts like a molecular water pump.

But it only works when glucose and sodium are present together in a precise 2:1 ratio.

Without this combo, water literally passes right through you. Image

Stanford scientists may have just killed the $65B knee and hip replacement industry.

They made a breakthrough that could regrow aging cartilage and reverse arthritis.

Here's the breakdown:
We used to think of cartilage like a car tire.

Once the tread wears down, you're driving on the rims until you replace the whole thing.

But Stanford's new research shows that the body can actually be triggered to regrow that "rubber" on its own. Image
The problem is a protein called 15-PGDH.

It increases as you age and destroys the molecules your body needs to repair tissue.

In older mice, these levels are doubled, which prevents natural joint repair. Image

Scientists identified a single bacterium responsible for 76% of all stomach cancers.

It already lives inside roughly half the human population.

Most carriers feel perfectly fine.
Years later, cancer appears without warning.

This is what it is (and how I’d prevent it):
The culprit is Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori).

It's a spiral-shaped bacterium that burrows into your stomach lining and sets off a slow-burning fire.

Over the years, it survives by making urease, an enzyme that neutralizes stomach acid in its vicinity.
That slow, constant damage doesn’t feel like cancer in the moment.

It often feels like normal heartburn, recurring indigestion, or vague upper-abdominal pain that comes and goes.

But...

In 2010, Novak Djokovic was a struggling tennis player.

He vomited during practice, collapsed mid-match, and lost his #1 position.

Then, with ONE diet change… he won 3 out of 4 Grand Slam titles and became world No. 1 the following year.

Here's the full story: 🧵 Image
Image
At age 7, little Novak had a vision:

He would become #1 in the world and win Wimbledon.

He even made a trophy from plastic and paper, visualizing his dream.

No one in his family had ever touched a tennis racket. But he was determined...
By 2007, the dream seemed within reach.

Ranked #3 in the world. First Grand Slam victory.

But a hidden enemy was destroying him from within. One that no amount of training could beat... Image

They called it horse dewormer.

But Ivermectin won a Nobel Prize.

Now researchers are exploring it as a cancer treatment, a parasite detox, and even an antiviral.

Here's why it works (and how to use it safely): 🧵 Image
The mockery was relentless during COVID.

"Horse paste" they sneered.

But Ivermectin was developed FOR humans and won the 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine for virtually eliminating river blindness and other diseases.

4 billion human doses later, it's still saving lives. Image
Ivermectin works through two distinct mechanisms:

In parasites: binds to key metabolic channels, causing paralysis and death.

In viruses/cancer: blocks specific proteins that transport viral/cancer proteins into cell nuclei.

Dual action = broad spectrum power. Image
