it’s happening!

a human was just edited

prime editing (the advanced CRISPR) was used to fix a broken immune system
a teenager with a rare immune disorder just had his DNA rewritten
1/ Image
they removed his stem cells, corrected two missing DNA letters and reimplanted the cells after chemotherapy.
now 66% of his neutrophils function normally.

no major side effects (for now).
this is a world first
2/
caution is still needed, but this is a very promising result Image

93% of americans have metabolic dysfunction.

that’s because your mitochondria are breaking down and modern life is the cause.

this is what’s really happening to your cells
1/ Image
you’ve heard it: “mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell.”
they convert food into energy but industrial food is damaging them.
there goes your energy, and your longevity.
2/
mitochondria produce 90% of your cellular ATP through electron transport chains, but this process leaks electrons.
this is normal, but not ideal

pardon my french, but what the fuck?

meta just published four papers on solid-state physics generation and human language emergence

and open sourced everything??

your gut is not optional, it's one of the most important organs in your body

it regulates immune function, inflammation, metabolism, and neurological health. if you're waiting for "modern" medicine to catch up, you've already lost.
here's how to fix it:
1/ Image
1. fiber diversity
30g+ daily is the minimum. this isn't your mother's "eat more fiber", it's foundational input for microbial life.
2/
start by increasing 5g per week to allow adaptation.
include soluble fibers, resistant starch, and insoluble fiber from various sources, especially fruit.

testosterone isn’t low because you’re old.

it’s low because modern life is designed against your biology and no one taught you how to rebuild from scratch.
here’s the 9-layer protocol to restore your hormonal health
1/
hormone dysfunction isn’t a supplement deficiency, it’s the final signal collapse of a broken system.

you don’t fix hormones directly, you rebuild the environment to be the same where they came from

2/
this protocol is layered and each level builds upon the last

skip the order and you fight biology.

follow it, and you reverse-engineer a body that produces testosterone, thyroid, and growth hormone by default.

psychologists in shambles

a new study out of Japan just showed how much behavior is linked to genetics

basically showing that fear, boldness, and social tendencies are rooted in your DNA
1/
this is the most comprehensive behavioral-genetic dataset ever created in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit flies)

36,600 flies
105 distinct genotypes
standardized threat simulations
single and group contexts

result:
→ behavior is not random
→ behavior is heritable

2/
in identical environments, genetically distinct flies responded differently to the same threat.
some froze. others explored. some clustered tightly. others drifted alone.
the key variable wasn’t trauma, mood, or social learning.
it was genotype.

your body didn’t evolve for blue light, seed oils, comfort, or porn
it evolved to fight, fuck, sleep well, and struggle

modern life destroys your hormones
here’s how to take them back
1/ Image
your hormones are the operating system of your body.
modern life is the malware.
here's why
2/
hormones are chemical messengers that control literally everything: your energy, mood, muscle, fertility, sleep, and even your status compared to others
