Dr. Rhonda Patrick.

The biochemist who´s spent decades uncovering what REALLY causes heart disease, cancer and diabetes.

Here are her top 8 rules for peak health (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Drink coffee. It cuts your risk of an early death by 30%
Coffee reduces your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and stroke if you:

- Have it black
- 2-3 cups a day
- Only in the mornings

It´s rich in polyphenols, antioxidants and even has some vitamins and minerals.

It literally slows aging:
2. Get enough Vitamin D.

Get more sunlight. If you can’t, take 5000 IUs of D3 a day with 100 mcg of Vitamin K2.

It´s not just a vitamin - it´s a steroid hormone.

It lowers your risk of every chronic disease, depression and dementia.

It even improves your genetics:
3. Eat more eggs.

Eggs causing heart disease is one of the worst nutrition myths.

They´re rich in protein, healthy fats and vitamins and minerals, including choline.

Choline is vital for your brain but 90% of people are deficient in it.

It literally makes you smarter:
4. Supplement creatine.

Everyone thought it was just for your muscles and you should take 5g a day.

But the latest research shows that it supercharges your brain if you take 10g a day.

You have more mental energy and a lower risk of depression and neurodegenerative diseases.
5. Exercise for your brain.

Everyone knows that you should exercise for your physical health.

But exercise is the most powerful way to improve your brain health.

It improves mood, focus and reduces your risk of:

- Anxiety
- Depression
- Dementia & Alzheimer´s.

Here´s how:
6. Get enough magnesium.

It helps:

- Organs
- DNA repair
- Sleep & stress
- Blood pressure
- Insulin sensitivity.

Eat foods high in it like:

- Legumes
- Leafy greens
- Seeds & nuts
- 70%+ cacao dark chocolate.

Supplement 120mg/day of elemental magnesium from these types:
7. Increase your Omega-3s intake.

Eat fatty fish 2-3x/week and supplement 1-2g/day.

They don´t just reduce inflammation. They:

- Reduce triglyercides
- Improve brain health
- Lower blood pressure
- Boost insulin sensitivity.

Being low in them is as bad for you as smoking:
8. Exercise for your heart.

The perfect stack:

- Walking more
- Zone 2 cardio
- Resistance training
- Norwegian 4x4 protocol.

Everyone underestimates how important exercise is for your heart.

It can reduce the age of your heart by 20 years:
Dr. Rhonda Patrick´s top 8 rules for peak health:

- Eat more eggs
- Supplement creatine
- Get enough Vitamin D
- Exercise for your brain
- Exercise for your heart
- Get enough magnesium
- Increase your Omega 3-s intake
- Drink 2-3 cups a day of black coffee in the morning. Image

The healthcare system is WRONG about cholesterol.

Cholesterol alone doesn't clog your arteries and cause heart disease.

Paul Saladino and world-class cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Ovadia did a 1.5 hour podcast and revealed what actually does (and how to fix it): 🧵
Dr. Ovadia has done thousands of heart surgeries.

He says that every patient that ends up on his operating table is a failure of the healthcare system.

They followed the advice.

They took the medications they were prescribed for decades.

They still got heart disease.
LDL needs context.

Not all LDL is the same.

When you look at insulin resistance and inflammation, it predicts who LDL is problematic for and who it isn't.

A high LDL number alone tells you almost nothing about heart disease risk.

Insulin resistance isn't on your doctor's radar until you're already diabetic...

But it fuels heart disease faster than cholesterol ever could.

Half of heart attack victims have "normal" cholesterol.

Most have insulin resistance.

Here's how it works (& 8 steps to fix it):🧵
When you have insulin resistance, your body doesn't store blood sugar correctly so you have chronically high blood sugar levels.

This damages artery walls, raises triglycerides and shrinks LDL into small dense particles.

This significantly raises your risk of heart disease. Image
1. Reduce inflammation.

Inflammation directly damages insulin signaling at the cellular level.

It blocks your cells from responding to insulin properly.

Reduce it by cutting processed food, improving sleep and consuming more omega-3s from fatty fish like salmon. Image

Fermented foods.

Dr. Robert Lustig.

The scientist who’s spent 25 years exposing what really causes obesity.

His breakthrough? It's not so much about calories. It's about insulin.

Here are his top 6 unconventional lessons for fat loss and health (bookmark this): 🧵
1. Weight gain can be partly emotional.

You can eat and exercise the same but still gain weight due to stress...

Weight loss isn't always just "Eat less and move more".

Stress makes your cells burn less calories and it affects your brain. Here's how:
2. Sugar from fruit is not the same as sugar from junk food.

Fruit:

- Is full of vital nutrients
- Is low-calorie & filling so you normally won't overeat it
- Has fiber that reduces blood sugar spikes.

Bone Broth is the best drink on the planet for your gut health.

Big Pharma shill $60 probiotic pills and artificial meds that barely work...

While Bone Broth literally rebuilds your gut and even makes your skin younger.

Here are its benefits (and exactly how to have it): 🧵
1. Gelatin rebuilds your gut lining.

When you simmer bones, collagen breaks down into gelatin.

Gelatin forms a protective coating over your gut. It seals the mucosal lining so toxins stop leaking into your bloodstream.

Drink one cup a day for gut repair.
2. L-Glutamine fuels intestinal cells.

Your gut uses 30% of your body's total glutamine to function.

This amino acid feeds the rapidly dividing cells lining your intestines.

It strengthens the gut barrier and lowers inflammation.

Bone broth delivers it naturally.
