If this were a superhero movie, you wouldn’t believe it.

In 2006, Hugh Jackman got cancer.

Over the next 15 years, he beat cancer 6 times while playing the most physically demanding role in Hollywood: "Wolverine."

This is a true story:🧵

Hugh was filming X-Men: The Last Stand when he first noticed it.

A tiny patch of dry skin.

His wife, Deborra-Lee, told him to get it checked.

Good thing he listened.

It turned out to be “basal cell carcinoma”, the most common type of skin cancer.

Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) doesn’t usually spread.

But it grows slowly and damages skin and tissue.

Left untreated, it disfigures the face, sometimes deeply.

Hugh had surgery. He thought that was the end.

Turns out It wasn’t....

Over the next 15 years, Hugh Jackman was diagnosed 5 more times.

He was often preparing for the most physically demanding role in Hollywood: Wolverine.

And he had to do it every time cancer tried to knock him down…

He built the body of a superhero after surgery….6 times

At 50, he trained for Logan—a film about aging, pain, and mortality.

It was the most emotional Wolverine yet.

But what fans didn’t know?

Hugh was still fighting his own real-life battle.

Cancer had returned again....

There were moments he was scared and doubted.

He once admitted he’d been “pretty scared” waiting for test results in 2023.

The results came back clear.

Hugh posted with a smile:

“PLEASE WEAR SUNSCREEN. Even if you never did before, start now.”

It’s summer.

Remember to put on sunscreen and protect yourself.

If you’re looking for sunscreens to protect yourself, here’s the best one I’ve found:

Jackman uses his platform to urge people to:
• Wear SPF 30+ sunscreen daily (no exceptions)
• Get skin checks 1–2x/year
• Know their family history
• Treat suspicious spots early

“Please wear sunscreen” is his most repeated message

He once said:

“The thing I hate more than anything is to be afraid of something and not do it.”

So he kept going.

Each time, he went under the knife.

Each time, he returned to the gym (often with a bandage still on his face).

Superhero. Surgery. Gym.

Repeat.

Then he got back to being a superhero.

He never made it dramatic.

When asked how he stayed motivated, he said:

“If you’re not always just a little bit afraid, you’re not really alive.”

Your thyroid controls your entire life.

If it isn't working, it damages your health, energy, and metabolism.

But 2 out of 3 people with thyroid issues are not aware.

Here are the signs your thyroid isn't working (and how to fix it):

What is your thyroid?

It’s a small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck.

But it’s the master switch of your metabolism.

It runs your:
• Body temp
• Weight
• Energy
• Digestion
• Mood
• Fertility

If it's off, everything else suffers

How it works:

Your brain sends a signal: TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone)

Your thyroid makes two hormones:
• T4 (inactive)
• T3 (the one that actually gives you energy)

T4 gets converted into T3 in your liver & gut.

If that conversion fails, you feel like hell.

Harvard scientists just cracked the science to regrow hair.

By 35, 2 in 3 men experience hair loss (regardless of genetics).

Here are 7 ways to prevent hair loss and even regrow your hair:

1. Your follicles are not dead when you lose hair.

Harvard’s 2021 study proved this.

They found that balding scalps still have hair follicle stem cells.

They don’t disappear.
They go inactive.

Hair grows when stimulated, nourished, and oxygenated.

2. Scalp massage (5–10 min/day)

Gentle daily massage increases blood flow, delivers oxygen, and removes tension from the scalp.

A 2016 study showed that massage led to thicker hair after 24 weeks.

Add nourishing oil (rosemary, pumpkin seed, or peppermint) for extra benefit.

Most people feel like sh*t by 40.

But it’s not aging — it’s your body screaming for help.

If you’ve gained belly fat, low energy, and recover slowly...

Here are 4 dotor approved ways to fix age issues & extend your lifespan: 👇

1. Grip strength

Sarcopenia (which is a fancy way of saying age-related muscle loss) raises mortality risk.

Grip strength and muscle loss are proven to be associated with shorter lifespan.

Muscle is a reservoir for glucose, a shield against frailty, and one of the strongest predictors of survival.

Fix: Train to preserve muscle (not build muscle)

Strength train 2–4×/week (full body is best)
Eat 1.2–1.6 g protein/kg daily
Sleep 7-9 hours a day

Muscle isn’t just for athletes or aesthetics; it's actually not optional to extend your lifespan.

Nitric Oxide is the key to longevity.

Dr. Nathan's 19-year research proved it speeds recovery, slows aging, and softens your arteries.

But your body stops producing it as you age (50% of it by 40)

Here's what it is, how to get enough, and why discovering it won a Nobel prize:

Nitric oxide (NO) is a gas your body makes to signal blood vessels to open.

It powers blood flow, oxygen delivery, and cellular repair.

But you start losing it at 30, and by 70, your NO is down 75%.

Losing the ability to repair leads directly to aging and chronic diseases.

Dr. Nathan Bryan calls Nitric Oxide “The Molecule of Life.”

- NO mobilizes stem cells (repair system)
- Activates telomerase (longevity enzyme)
- Enhances mitochondria (your energy factory)

It’s the only molecule that supports all 3 pillars of longevity:

Heart attacks can be prevented.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra proved heart attacks are caused by your habits, food, and the lies you’ve been told.

Here’s the lies he debunked (& fixes to protect your heart):

Lie: High cholesterol is the cause

Heart disease is widely misunderstood.

It’s not just about aging or high cholesterol.

It’s plaque silently building inside your arteries like a pimple beneath the surface.

When it bursts, blood flow is blocked and a heart attack strikes.

Heart disease is the #1 killer on the planet.

• In the UK, 1 in 8 men and 1 in 14 women die from it
• In the US, nearly 50% of adults have it

It kills more people than all cancers combined.

They created a disease overnight to sell you pills.

In 2017, medical authorities lowered "normal" blood pressure from 140/90 to 130/80.

Suddenly, 31 million healthy Americans became "sick."

Here’s the real cause of this symptom, and easy ways to fix it:

1. Resistant Hypertension

Some people don’t respond to standard treatment for high blood pressure.

Their numbers stay high no matter what.

This is resistant hypertension.

And it leaves arteries vulnerable despite “being on meds.”

2. Arteries strain

You don’t feel it happening.

Your heart pumps harder, but each pump causes more damage.

Every beat slams against your artery walls, and over time, they stiffen, scar, and narrow.

But one day it shows up as a heart attack, stroke, or kidney failure.
