This is Dr. Chris Palmer.

He's a Harvard psychiatrist who spent 25 years studying mental health.

His message? Depression isn't a mental illness... it's damaged mitochondria.

This flips everything you've been told about energy and brain health: 🧵 Image
Image
For decades, we've been told:

- Fatigue = sleep more
- Brain fog = "just aging"
- Anxiety = manage stress
- Depression = chemical imbalance

Palmer proved this backwards.

The real cause? Your brain cells are literally starving for energy.
Palmer's research revealed something shocking:

Mental health patients had damaged mitochondria.

When he fixed their cellular energy...
Their "incurable" conditions vanished.

No more SSRIs. No more therapy.

Just cellular repair. Image
Think about it:

Your brain uses 20% of your body's energy.

If your mitochondria are broken, your brain suffers first:

• Can't clear toxins
• Can't maintain focus
• Can't regulate mood
• Can't produce neurotransmitters

Pills can't fix broken power plants.
"But how do mitochondria break?"

Modern life is designed to destroy them:

• Poor sleep (prevents repair)
• Processed foods (toxic to cellular DNA)
• Chronic stress (floods cells with cortisol)
• Medications (many damage mitochondria)

4 easy steps to repair yours today: Image
Step 1: Switch your fuel source

Your brain runs better on ketones than glucose.

Palmer uses therapeutic ketosis:
- Stabilizes energy
- Reduces inflammation
- Feeds starving neurons
- Repairs mitochondria

Even 1-2 days makes a difference. Image
Step 2: Target cellular repair

While you fast, flood your cells with what they need.

This 10-in-1 formula covers all bases:
✓ Shilajit for mitochondrial function
✓ Ashwagandha for cortisol balance
✓ Tongkat for hormone optimization

Step 3: Maximize oxygen delivery

Broken mitochondria can't use oxygen efficiently.

You need to boost circulation + nitric oxide.

Palmer found cardiovascular support critical for brain energy.

Your brain cells are screaming for oxygen. Image
Step 4: Activate deep repair mode

Mitochondria regenerate during deep sleep.

But here's the catch:

Broken mitochondria = broken sleep
Broken sleep = broken mitochondria

You must break this cycle.

Palmer emphasized sleep as non-negotiable.
The bottom line:

Mental health IS metabolic health.

Fix your mitochondria = fix your mind.

Palmer proved what ancient medicine knew:
The body heals itself when you give it what it needs.
Stop treating symptoms.

Start feeding cells.

If you're tired of:

- Morning exhaustion
- Afternoon crashes
- Brain fog
- Mood swings
- Anxiety

Your mitochondria are calling for help.
This is exactly what @FitFastCoach saw with his best clients.

They come to me thinking they need willpower and discipline...

But they really need cellular repair.

When your mitochondria work, everything else follows—energy, fat loss, mental clarity. Image

Seeds Oil is silently wrecking your health.

It disrupts your hormones, slows fat loss, and fogs up your brain.

Here's why seed oils are more dangerous than sugar, sitting or even smoking: 🧵
The real problem with seed oils: They didn’t exist 150 years ago.

For most of human history, people cooked with:

• Butter
• Tallow
• Olive oil
• Coconut oil

Today? Image
Image
Almost every meal you buy is soaked in processed seed oils.

Why does that matter?

Because seed oils aren’t natural fats.

They’re industrial oils made from:

• Corn
• Soy
• Canola
• Sunflower

Yellow teeth aren’t “just aging.”

They’re the result of coffee addiction, poor habits, and zero maintenance.

Your smile can be 2–8 shades whiter with the RIGHT whitening method.

Here’s how to get white teeth without damaging your enamel (or wallet): 🧵
Most guys think expensive treatments give better results.

But the reality?

All whitening methods use the same active ingredient: hydrogen peroxide.

The difference isn't the chemical - it's how concentrated it is and how it's delivered to your teeth. Image
Hydrogen peroxide oxidizes and bleaches stain molecules, whitening teeth from the inside.

Some products use carbamide peroxide, which slowly releases hydrogen peroxide over several hours.

Similar methods, just different speeds.

But not everyone can safely whiten their teeth: Image

Japanese people are crazy.

They stay skinny & live to 100+ while:

- Eating sugar daily
- Drinking alcohol regularly
- Working +100hrs/week at an office desk

But when Americans try it? They become fat, sick, and depressed.

I had to find out what was REALLY going on: 🧵 Image
Image
Only approximately 4-5% of Japanese adults are considered obese.

For American adults, the percentage skyrockets to around 43%.

Crazy right?

Here's the difference:
Children in Japan are taught more about the value of healthy foods at a young age.

Not only that, they enjoy them.

Healthy options are embedded into their normal life, and with less intake of processed foods, they don't get the same 'cravings' Americans do.

Ashwagandha is nature's hormone balancer

It lowers cortisol, raises testosterone, and enhances sleep.

Yet almost no one takes it the right way.

Here are 9 benefits behind the most powerful remedy of the 21st century...🧵
What is it?

Ashwagandha is an adaptogenic herb used in Ayurvedic medicine for 3,000+ years.

It works by regulating your stress response and balancing key hormones. That's why it impacts everything from strength to mood to fertility.

Here are its best healing benefits:
BENEFIT #1: It lowers cortisol

High cortisol = stubborn belly fat, restless nights, and constant stress.

Ashwagandha reduces cortisol by up to 30%, calming the body and restoring energy balance so you feel less wired and more centered.

This might save your life...

Your belly fat is damaging your organs and paving the way for diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.

Here are 5 ways to lose the gut and regain control of your health:

THREAD Image

Problem 1: Insulin resistance

Belly fat drives insulin resistance — your cells stop responding to insulin, forcing your body to pump out more.

That means more fat storage, higher blood sugar, and a fast track to diabetes.
Fix 1: Cut refined carbs for 30 days

• Keep added sugar under 25g/day
• Build each plate around protein + fiber
• Replace white bread, pasta, vegetables, legumes

Your body will start burning fat instead of storing it. Image
