Heart disease is the #1 killer.
Doctors blame fat and red meat…
But cutting them makes it worse. Why?
Because they were never the problem.
The real cause of heart disease—and 10 simple steps to fix it (backed by science): 🧵

Doesn´t the "science" show that saturated fat causes heart disease?
No.
This idea came from ONE scientist´s false conclusion from ONE study.
No.
This idea came from ONE scientist´s false conclusion from ONE study.
Ancel Keys conducted the Seven Countries Study.
He claimed it showed a direct link between fat intake and heart disease.
But there was a problem...
He cherry-picked data and ignored countries that didn’t fit his narrative.

France and Germany had high saturated fat intake but low heart disease, yet they were excluded.
But countries with high heart disease and also high sugar and smoking rates were included.
He blamed fat instead of sugar and even smoking...

Many modern-day studies have shown NO causal effect of saturated fat on heart disease.
Insulin resistance is the REAL cause of heart disease.
It damages your whole body—including your blood vessels and heart.
It damages your whole body—including your blood vessels and heart.
You get insulin resistance when your blood sugar levels are too high.
What kind of diet causes this?
- Processed
- Low fat & protein
- High-carb & sugar.
The OPPOSITE of a lot of meat and eggs.

To reverse insulin resistance:
You need to keep your blood sugar levels healthy on-average for a long time.
You can mainly do this through exercise...
And the following 10 foods, meals & natural supplements:

And the following 10 foods, meals & natural supplements:
1. Red Meat.
The protein helps build muscle which soaks up blood sugar without insulin.
It´s low in carbs which means lower blood sugar and insulin spikes too.
The saturated fat even helps hormones & metabolism.

2. Eggs for breakfast.
Protein and fat instead of cereal leads to stable blood sugar.
Eggs are also very filling so you´re less likely to overeat and you can more easily lose weight.

3. Fruit.
Nature’s candy—but with fiber, antioxidants, and slow-digesting sugars.
Sugar from fruit doesn’t spike insulin like refined sugar.
It helps satisfy sweet cravings too, so you can easily avoid real candy...

4. Cook with olive oil rather than seed oils
Seed oils like sunflower oil are high in omega-6.
Omega-6 causes inflammation which worsens insulin resistance.
Whereas olive oil is anti-inflammation and truly heart-healthy.

5. Snack on greek yogurt + fruit.
High protein, probiotics, healthy fat, nutrients and low sugar.
Improves gut health (which is linked to insulin sensitivity) and keeps you full.
A perfect blood sugar-stable snack.

6. Magnesium.
Cofactor in over 300 enzymes—including ones that regulate glucose and insulin.
Low magnesium = higher blood sugar, higher blood pressure, and more insulin resistance.
Most people are deficient. Fix that ASAP.

7. Fish Oil.
Omega-3s (EPA & DHA) lower triglycerides and inflammation.
They also improve cell membrane health—making your cells more sensitive to insulin.
It even helps lower blood pressure.

8. Creatine.
It´s not just for muscle growth. It improves mitochondrial function and glucose uptake.
This helps your cells use blood sugar WITHOUT more insulin.
Less insulin = lower insulin resistance.

9. Vitamin D.
Low Vitamin D is a major risk factor of diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.
It regulates insulin secretion and reduces inflammation.
You can get it from sunlight, certain foods, and supplements.

10. Nattokinase.
Other meds and supplements try to PREVENT plaque build up...
But this is the ONLY compound that directly dissolves plaque once you already have it.
It´s excellent for heart disease.

The Bottom Line:
Insulin resistance is the real cause of heart disease.
And it´s refined sugar, seed oils and ultra-processed food that are bad for you...
Not natural, nutritious food like red meat and eggs that humans have eaten forever.
