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:

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.

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.

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.

You’ve been lied to.

Your knee pain isn’t from aging.

It’s from excess weight silently crushing your joints every day.

I’ve treated 1,000+ total knee replacements.

Here’s exactly how I’d lose weight to save your knees and avoid surgery before it’s too late: 🧵

1. Cut Processed Foods

Processed foods (especially high in added sugar and seed oils) cause blood sugar spikes and crashes.

Over time, this leads to insulin resistance driving inflammation that breaks down your cartilage and causes chronic knee pain.

Start replacing:
• Alcohol, soda & juice
• Breads & cereals
• Packaged snacks

With:

• Eggs
• Fruits & vegetables
• Quality meats

Excess body fat is silently destroying your health.

It doesn´t just sit there...

It’s an active organ pumping out chemicals that drive insulin resistance & damage your arteries.

Here’s how I’d get lean ASAP to reverse the damage (without extreme diets or workouts): 🧵

1. Cut down on processed food.

It makes it nearly impossible to lose weight.

It´s full of calories and chemically engineered to make you want to eat more and more and never feel full.

It´s not just bad for weight loss...

It´s a disaster for your health too:

2. Make your healthy meals taste good.

"Diets" are known for being boring and unsustainable to stick to.

But if your diet is like this, you will never turn it into a lifestyle.

Even if you lose it initially you’re going to end up putting the weight right back on.

Atherosclerosis is the number 1 cause of death.

But it´s not cholesterol from red meat that´s clogging your arteries.

Cutting down on red meat just makes it worse.

Here are the top 7 real causes of atherosclerosis (and how to fix them naturally): 🧵

Atherosclerosis is when plaque builds up inside arteries, narrowing them.

Blood flow slows or stops temporarily.

Oxygen can’t reach your heart or brain.

This causes:

• Strokes
• Heart attacks
• Sudden death.

Trying to prevent this isn´t optional.

It’s life or death.

Saturated fat and cholesterol from red meat and eggs were blamed for plaque build up and atherosclerosis.

But this was a false conclusion from one study that a scientist called Ancel Keys did back in 1958...

Modern studies have debunked this.

Nutrition 101 in 25 sentences.

Trust me, you didn't take this class in school:

1. Fruit juice spikes your blood sugar just like Coca Cola

2) A relationship with a local farmer/rancher can do more for your nutrition and health than your doctor.

3) Processed foods cause massive blood sugar spikes and like a drug addict this requires more and more insulin leading to insulin resistance, inflammation, and eventually chronic disease.

The most underrated organ for your health:

Muscle.

It lowers your risk of diabetes, Alzheimer´s and cancer.

But you lose over 40% of it as you age unless you fight back.

Here´s every tip I have to hold onto your muscle mass (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Resistance training is non-negotiable.

This is how you give your body a reason to maintain its muscle mass.

But don´t follow the advice of young fitness influencers...

Here´s how is best to resistance train if you´re over 40 years old:

2. Eat enough protein.

Target 0.7–1g per pound of bodyweight everyday.

Best sources:

• Fish
• Eggs
• Chicken
• Red meat
• Whey protein
• Greek yoghurt
• Cottage cheese.

Your body needs it to repair, rebuild, and grow muscle.

Here´s how to easily get in enough protein:

Deep sleep is the most underrated fat-burner.

Most people think its just for your brain.

But it helps burn visceral fat, reduce hunger and boost your metabolism.

Here are 10 science-backed foods that help you sleep deeper and wake up refreshed: 🧵

1. Tart cherries.

They give you natural melatonin, the hormone that tells your brain it’s bedtime
.
Higher melatonin helps you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

2. Kiwi.

Kiwi helps your brain make serotonin which helps keep your sleep-wake cycle on track.

When it´s dark, serotonin turns into melatonin to help you sleep.
