Dr. Jay Battacharya just spent 4.5 hours on Andrew Huberman's podcast discussing health.

He revealed mind-blowing facts about autism research, vaccine safety, & how our medical establishment really works...

Here are 8 of his most shocking insights: 🧵 Image
1/ His Own University Tried to Silence Him

Stanford's dean directly told Bhattacharya to stop speaking to the press during COVID.

They even "ordered him to redo" his immunity study when they didn't like the results.

"Stanford failed the academic freedom test," he said.
2/ Autism Rates Have Exploded and Nobody Knows Why

1 in 31 kids now has autism according to the CDC.

Bhattacharya's shocking admission: "Everyone has their pet theory for why and yet we don't know why. I as a scientist do not know the answer."

But here's where it gets crazy...
3/ Most Scientific Studies Can't Be Replicated

The replication crisis is so bad that drug companies do their own private studies because "they don't trust the published biomedical literature."

Translation: Most medical research is junk.
4/ Americans Are the World's "Piggy Bank" for Drug Research

"American taxpayers are the piggy bank for the world," Bhattacharya revealed.

Pharmacy benefit managers inflate prices while Europe pays "marginal costs."

Time to cut out the middlemen.
5/ He's Launching a Massive, Unbiased Autism Investigation

The NIH is starting a major initiative to investigate ALL potential causes of autism.

Environmental factors, nutrition, vaccines, everything is on the table.

No predetermined conclusions.
6/ American Life Expectancy Was Stagnant Even Before COVID

While European nations saw health gains, American life expectancy was "almost entirely flat" from 2012-2019.

Despite billions in healthcare spending, we're not actually improving American health outcomes.
7/ They Covered Up COVID's Origins

Scientific institutions should "come clean" about federal money potentially funding COVID-19 origin research.

The government even banned NIH contractor EcoHealth Alliance for failing to oversee the Wuhan lab.
8/ Young Scientists Drive Innovation, But the System Crushes Them

Bhattacharya's research proves young scientists are the most innovative.

Yet the system forces them to serve established scientists for decades.

His plan: Redirect funding to young investigators.
The transformation is already happening...

Bhattacharya froze 80% of NIH's budget and laid off over 1,000 employees.

University funding is being slashed from 50-60% down to 15%.

He's shifting focus from infectious diseases to chronic diseases affecting every American family.
His reform agenda is radical:

→ Investigating taboo topics like vaccine injuries and autism causes
→ Breaking up the scientific "old boys club"
→ Prioritizing replication over flashy new research
→ Cutting pharmaceutical middlemen
→ Restoring transparency to public health

You drink water all day long but still feel drained.

Fasting makes it worse. More water doesn't help.

The problem isn't dehydration.

It's a cellular energy bottleneck that water alone can't fix.

How to hydrate for real energy (backed by science): 🧵
Your body runs on a pump discovered in 1957.

The sodium-potassium pump won a Nobel Prize.

It moves 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions in, creating the electrical charge that powers everything.

This pump consumes up to 1/3 of all the ATP your body makes. Image
One single protein uses roughly 30% of your entire energy production.

In your brain? Up to 70%.

If this pump fails, your cells lose their electrical charge.

Without that charge, water cannot get pulled inside. Image

You could have "normal" blood sugar and still be aging faster than you should.

The problem isn't your fasting glucose.

It's what happens AFTER you eat.

Most people have no idea their meals are triggering invisible damage.

Here's how to see it in real time: 🧵 Image
Your doctor checks your fasting glucose once a year.

If it's under 100 mg/dL, you're "healthy."

But that single snapshot misses everything.

It's like judging a movie by one freeze frame. Image
The real action happens in the 2-3 hours after you eat.

This is when glucose spikes can hit 160, 180, even 200+ mg/dL.

Then crash back down.

Your fasting number stays perfect.

But the damage is already done.

California just passed a "Billionaire Tax."

But here's what the media won't report:

The state lost MORE to fraud than this tax will ever raise.

Here's the full story (& no joke, it gets crazier the further you read): 🧵 Image
Image
First, what this tax actually does:

A one-time 5% tax on the worldwide net worth of any California resident with more than $1B in assets.

Payable over five years.

Sounds reasonable until you read the fine print… Image
It taxes unrealized gains.

Paper wealth. Startup equity. Concentrated stock positions you can't sell.

Founders like Zuckerberg built their fortunes without touching a dime for years.

Under this law? They'd owe hundreds of millions on money they never received.

Polyphenols are one of the most underrated anti-aging compounds on Earth.

Used right, they extend cellular lifespan & activate your body's youth genes.

Yet no one talks about them.

So I researched the science.

What I found will blow your mind: 🧵
First, what are Polyphenols?

Polyphenols are plant compounds found in dark berries, green tea, olive oil, and dark chocolate.

For decades, scientists overlooked them.

That was a mistake.
These compounds activate sirtuins, proteins that control how fast your cells age.

Sirtuins ON: your cells repair themselves.
Sirtuins OFF: you age faster.

This isn't speculation. It's biochemistry. Image

Scientists tracked 25,315 women for 25 years.

Those who followed one eating pattern had 23% lower risk of dying from anything.

Not a fad. Not restriction. A 4,000-year-old diet backed by the largest nutrition trial ever run.

Here's exactly what I'd eat (and avoid): 🧵
1/ The pattern: Mediterranean diet

But not the watered-down version you see in magazines.

The real protocol is built on one core principle:

Reduce chronic inflammation, the silent driver behind heart disease, cancer, and early death. Image
2/ The proof: PREDIMED trial.

7,447 high-risk adults. 4.8 years. Three groups:

• Mediterranean + extra virgin olive oil
• Mediterranean + nuts
• Standard low-fat diet (control)

Results: Mediterranean groups had ~30% fewer heart attacks, strokes, and cardiovascular deaths. Image

Andrew Huberman found something that gives him more peace than cold plunges, meditation, or any protocol he's ever shared.

He does it every morning. Sometimes in the middle of the night.

Most scientists won't talk about it publicly.

Here's what it is: 🧵 Image
Image
Prayer.

Every single night, @hubermanlab gets on his knees beside his bed.

"Like an old kid in a movie," he says.

But the science behind why this works is anything but childish.
Here's his exact routine:

First, @hubermanlab prays for other people.

Then he sits in silence. Listening.

Then he prays for his own challenges. Not for solutions. For strength to face them.

Finally, gratitude. Then sleep.
