The Healthcare System wants you sick.

I´m a Doctor of Physical Therapy, so I would know.

Here are the 6 biggest health secrets they hid from you to sell you more pills:

Secret 1: Eggs do NOT raise cholesterol
The cholesterol in eggs doesn’t raise the cholesterol in your blood.

Your body adjusts cholesterol production based on your diet.

The more cholesterol you eat, the less your body produces.

Scientific studies confirm this: Image
Secret 2: LDL "bad" cholesterol doesn´t cause heart disease.

LDL itself isn´t dangerous.

It´s only dangerous when it´s oxidized.

And what does that?

Not red meat, eggs and butter.

The "heart healthy" seed oils and carbs we were told to replace those with...
Secret 3: Exercise is the best antidepressant.

They want you to believe that depression is an incurable chemical imbalance in the brain.

But improving your:

- Diet
- Sleep
- Stress
- Exercise habits
- Social connection
- Sunlight exposure

Makes a huge difference.
The antidepressant market is worth $20 billion.

But studies show exercise is up to 1.5x more effective than antidepressants…

For not just depression - but anxiety and chronic stress too. Image
Secret 4: Cholesterol is NOT the only cause of heart disease.

They just want you to focus on it so they can keep selling $19 billion/year in statins.

Statins only "work" while you take them so they can sell you them for life.

Here are the other causes of heart disease:
Secret 5: Type 2 Diabetes IS Reversible Naturally.

Type 2 Diabetes is caused by having too much insulin in response to too high blood sugar.

To reverse it, you just need to keep your blood sugar at normal levels for a long time.

You don´t need metformin and insulin forever.
Secret 6: Sunlight is GOOD for you.

A recent scientific study showed that avoiding the sun increases your risk of death as much as smoking.

It raises your risk of:

- Diabetes
- Depression
- Heart disease
- High blood pressure.

All diseases they sell you treatments for...
Secret 7: "Heart-healthy" seed oils are terrible for your health.

They said that animal fats like butter give you heart disease...

And that these new seed oils were "heart healthy"...

But they´re manufactured junk that inflame your body (which actually causes heart disease)
The Bottom Line:

The American healthcare system makes $5 trillion/year.

These lies keep Americans overweight and sick, paying for endless "treatment" for:

- Heart disease
- Type 2 Diabetes
- High cholesterol
- High blood pressure

And now even GLP-1s like Ozempic for obesity. Image
We left our work as Doctors of Physical Therapy because we saw that the healthcare system wasn´t making people healthy.

It put profits over preventing these health issues.

The real "cure" is a healthy lifestyle.

That´s what we ´ve now helped thousands of people with online. Image

The most underrated metric of your risk of dying of heart disease:

Coronary Artery Calcification Score.

This reveals how much plaque you already have clogging your arteries...

Here are 8 ways to stop and reverse plaque buildup: 🧵

1. Nattokinase
Nattokinase is an enzyme from Japanese natto directly dissolves fibrin, the mesh that holds plaque together.

It also boosts your body's natural clot-dissolving agents.

One study showed 10,800 FU daily reduced plaque size by 36% in just 12 months. Image
2. Vitamin K2.

It activates Matrix Gla-Protein (MGP), the most powerful inhibitor of arterial calcification in your body.

Without K2, calcium deposits in your arteries instead of your bones.

Take 100-200 mcg of MK-7 daily.

These 10 "healthy" foods are secretly killing your weight loss (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil Image
Olive oil is healthy fat...

But it's still high-calorie fat.

It has 120 calories per tablespoon.

A few extra drizzles on salad or your frying pan easily adds 300+ hidden calories.

Get a convertible sprayer to lightly mist the pan. Image
2. Nuts.

They're calorie bombs disguised as a health food.

Yes, they have healthy fats, vitamins and minerals.

But just 2-3 handfuls is 400-600 calories and you won´t even feel full.

Nuts in packets normally have added salt and seed oils too. Image

Here are the 8 biggest health secrets they hid from you to sell you more pills: 🧵

Your back hurts because of poor posture, a weak core, and inactive glutes.

Sitting all day takes a toll, but you can fix it.

Here are 10 exercises you can do in 10 minutes to build a stronger, pain-free back (bookmark these): 🧵 Image
1) Cobra/ Prone Press Up

This is a great exercise to reset the spine after a lot of sitting.

You want to keep your hips and legs in contact with the ground while pressing through the mid-back.

You shouldn't feel pain, but if you do, stick to the cobra instead of the press-up.
2) Bird Dog Progressions

You can start by only raising one arm or leg at a time.

As you progress, you can start to raise both an arm and a leg at the same time.

The key here is to pull the belly button in towards the spine and keep your core tight.

40 sentences that will teach you more about nutrition than a $400,000 medical degree (bookmark this):🧵

1) Meat, eggs and animal organs are the healthiest foods on the planet. Image
2) Bone broth is loaded in collagen and helps repair the gut so you can heal from the inside out.

3) Saturated fat doesn’t cause heart disease, insulin resistance does.

4) Your ratio of triglycerides to HDL is a great indicator of mortality risk; the lower the better.
5) Protein is the most metabolically active macronutrient and it isn’t bad for your kidneys.

6) There isn’t quality evidence to show that dietary cholesterol impacts the cholesterol in your blood.

The most common cause of heart disease that doctors miss:

Vitamin K2 deficiency.

80% of people are deficient, causing calcium to become plaque that clogs their arteries.

Here are all of Vitamin K2's health benefits and how to get enough to protect your heart: 🧵
Vitamin K2 is a miracle molecule for preventing heart disease.

It stops calcium becoming deadly plaque in your arteries by sending it to strengthen your bones and teeth instead.
Vitamin K2 reduces the plaque in other areas of your body too.

It reduces it in your brain's blood vessels which causes cognitive decline and even dementia.

It also helps prevent calcification in joints, tendons, and cartilage, reducing stiffness and pain in them.
