Your brain is starving for this ONE nutrient.

It's not a vitamin, mineral, or protein.

It's a natural substance that slows aging in adults and transforms newborns' brain development forever.

Here's what it is (& how to get enough of it naturally): 🧵

It’s called Nitric Oxide (NO).

Your body makes it every day.

NO widens blood vessels and fuels cellular energy.

But by age 40, your levels drop by over 50%, which means:
• Less brain oxygen
• Slower energy
• Weaker blood flow
• Higher risk of disease

Newborns without enough NO can suffer permanent brain damage.

In hospitals, doctors give nitric oxide gas to save babies who can’t breathe.

In adults, it powers neuroplasticity (the ability to learn, adapt, and grow).

Your brain alone uses 20% of your body’s oxygen.

If you want ONE all-in-one natural ingredient solution for Nitric oxide production, try this:

It's a game changer for me at 40.

Fix #1: Eat nitrate-rich foods

These are nitric oxide precursors:

• Beets (beet juice works too)
• Dark leafy greens (arugula, spinach)
• Pomegranate
• Celery
• Watermelon (high in citrulline)

These help your body make NO naturally.

Fix #2: Your body needs bacteria in your mouth to convert nitrates from food into NO.

Avoid:
• Sugar (slows your NO enzymes)
• Mouthwash (kills bacteria in the mouth)
• Mouth breathing (stops production in the sinuses)

Your body can't make nitric oxide alone.

Fix #3: Nasal breathing and sunlight

• Nasal breathing activates nitric oxide in sinuses
• Sunlight (UVB) stimulates nitric oxide in skin
• Even 15 mins of morning sun helps
• Try grounding while sunbathing for added benefit

Fix #4: Exercise (resistance training)

• Lifting weights increases endothelial nitric oxide
• HIIT and cardio also help
• Movement keeps blood vessels healthy
• Even walking boosts NO

Sedentary life leads to nitric oxide deficiency.

Over 50% of people with high blood pressure don’t respond to medication.

Because the meds don’t fix the root cause:

Nitric oxide deficiency.

Without enough nitric oxide, your blood vessels can’t relax, which keeps your pressure high, no matter how many pills you take:

In 1998, 3 U.S. scientists won the Nobel Prize.

One of them told Dr. Nathan Bryan:

“If we can restore Nitric Oxide production, it’ll change the world.”

25 years of research later, he’s still proving it true.

If you're looking for Nitric Oxide production, this is the best one I've found:

This has been the best investment for me at 40.

Everyone thinks burning fat is “calories in, calories out.”

But you can’t lose belly fat if your hormones are chronically elevated.

Here's how to burn fat correctly (according to science):

1. Stop spending so much time on cardio

Chronic cardio doesn’t burn fat.

Overtraining impairs thyroid and metabolism.

It raises cortisol, breaks down muscle, and makes your body store fat long-term.

Diet accounts for ~80% of fat loss outcomes.

If you must do cardio…

Try zone 2 cardio:

• Heart rate: 60–70% of your max
• Duration: 45–60 minutes
• Frequency: 4–6 times/week

At lower heart rates, your body uses fat for fuel.
Go too hard, and it switches to carbs.

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....

The fitness industry made $41 billion last year.

Yet Americans keep getting fatter because they profit from complicating a simple problem.

Here are 8 doctor-approved ways to lose 30+ pounds in 90 days:

1. Front-load protein

Protein reduces hunger, preserves muscle, and blunts glucose spikes.

Start every meal with:
– 30–40g high-quality protein
– Animal sources preferred (more bioavailable)

It kills cravings before they start.

2. Don’t overdo cardio

Chronic cardio = muscle loss + cortisol spike.

Instead:
– Walk daily
– Lift heavy
– Add short HIIT 1–2x/week

Fat loss is 80% nutrition + metabolism—not hours on a treadmill.

This might save your life:

1 in 2 adults over 30 has hypertension.

When blood pressure is too high, it damages your blood vessels, brain, and heart.

Here's how to fix the “silent killer” (& not be dependent on lifelong medication): 🧵

Normal vs. High blood pressure:

• Normal: <120 / <80 mmHg
• Elevated: 120–129 / <80
• Stage 1 hypertension: 130–139 / 80–89
• Stage 2 hypertension: ≥140 / ≥90
• Crisis: ≥180 / ≥120 (ER now)

Every 20 mmHg increase doubles your risk of stroke and heart disease.

Medication isn't the long-term fix because it doesn't fix the root cause.

Drugs like ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, and diuretics reduce pressure.

And many cause side effects: fatigue, sexual dysfunction, nutrient loss, or worse.

You need a root-level fix.

This might save your life:

Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman spent 17 years studying how ancient humans slept, moved, and aged over centuries.

The 5 myths he debunked will change how you think about health forever:

1/ Myth: Sitting is killing you

Not exactly…

Hunter-gatherers sit just as much as modern people.

The difference is that they get up every 10–15 minutes.

Sitting isn’t the issue; uninterrupted stillness for way too long is.

2/ Myth: You need 8 hours of sleep

Most traditional cultures don’t sleep 8 hours.

Lieberman and his colleagues tracked people with no phones, no electricity, no alarms through the centuries.

6 to 7 hours per night and naps.

So, where did 8 hours come from?👇

This amino acid controls your brain, blood flow, and erection:

L-arginine

But almost no one uses it correctly.

Here’s what you need to know (& how to get results):

L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid.

Your body can make it, but not always in the amounts needed, especially with:

• Aging
• Illness
• Stress
• Poor diet
It’s the direct precursor to nitric oxide (NO), the molecule that expands blood vessels.

Nitric Oxide controls blood circulation.

Low NO means stiff vessels, high blood pressure, and poor oxygen delivery.
Studies link low NO to:
• Cardiovascular disease
• Insulin resistance
• Cognitive decline
• Erectile dysfunction

It’s a master regulator of health.
