Dr. Rhonda Patrick is the world's most respected anti-aging expert.
She just revealed that 70% of how you age is due to lifestyle, not genetics.
Most people are cutting 14+ years off their lifespan through simple daily mistakes.
Her 12 most shocking revelations: 🧵

Her 12 most shocking revelations: 🧵
1) Paper coffee cups lined with plastic release 55x more toxins when heated.
Tea bags release thousands of microplastics per cup.
Glass bottles can contain MORE microplastics than plastic (from lid paint).
Soluble fiber can prevent microplastic absorption.

2) The Dallas Bed Rest Study will blow your mind.
5 college students were put on complete bed rest for 3 weeks in the 1960s.
30 years later, researchers found these same men.
The result? 3 weeks of inactivity was WORSE than 30 years of aging.

Being sedentary predicts early mortality more than diabetes, heart disease, or smoking.
Your cardiorespiratory fitness is literally the best predictor of how long you'll live.
High fitness = 5 years longer life + 80% less likely to die from major diseases.

3) The Norwegian 4x4 Protocol can reverse heart aging by 20 years.
4 minutes intense exercise, 4 minutes recovery, repeat 4 times.
Studies show 50-year-old hearts become structurally identical to 30-year-old hearts after 2 years.
Once per week minimum dose.

4) High-intensity exercise produces lactate which was previously thought to be "waste."
Lactate is actually a miracle molecule that acts like miracle growth for your brain.
It activates BDNF causing neurogenesis, literally growing new muscle cells.

5) 50% of Americans are magnesium deficient.
Every 100mg decrease = 24% higher pancreatic cancer risk.
Required for 300+ enzymatic reactions including DNA repair.
Highest magnesium levels = 40% lower all-cause mortality.

I've built America's #1 magnesium.
MagSRT has a sustained-release technology that delivers 500mg over 8 hours instead of all at once.
You won't experience any crashes or diarrhea.
This supplement is clinically shown to increase Mg in the body ↓

6) A 60+ year-old exercise study reversed brain aging.
Control group: hippocampus shrank 1-2% (normal aging).
Exercise group: hippocampus GREW 1-2%.
They literally reversed brain aging through aerobic exercise 3x per week for one year.

7) Harvard study: not eating enough seafood is a top 6 preventable cause of death.
High omega-3 index = 5 years increased life expectancy.
Low omega-3 index has SAME mortality risk as smoking.
Most Americans have dangerously low levels (5% vs optimal 8%+).

8) Creatine isn't just for gym bros anymore.
10+ grams daily reaches your brain.
Sleep-deprived people given 25-30g of creatine function BETTER than well-rested people.
It negates cognitive deficits from 21 hours of sleep deprivation completely.

9) Sauna 4-7x per week = 50% lower cardiovascular mortality vs 1x per week.
It mimics moderate-intensity exercise physiologically.
Adds to exercise benefits when combined.
Hot tubs provide similar blood pressure benefits for those without sauna access.

10) 70% of Americans are vitamin D deficient.
The consequence? 80% increased dementia risk.
Supplementing with vitamin D3 reduces dementia risk by 40%.
For every 10 ng/mL decrease in vitamin D, measurable brain damage increases.
Your skin needs UVB radiation to make it.

11) 16+ hour fasting windows activate autophagy.
Clears damaged proteins, DNA fragments, dysfunctional mitochondria.
Time-restricted eating improves glucose regulation beyond calorie restriction.
Stop eating 3+ hours before bed for optimal sleep.

12) Pregnant women given 930mg choline daily vs 480mg produced smarter children.
Children of high-choline mothers scored higher on ALL IQ tests.
Choline found in egg yolks, 6 eggs daily during pregnancy recommended.
One of the few interventions that can increase child intelligence.

BONUS: Living within 1 mile of golf courses = 126% higher Parkinson's risk.
Pesticides/herbicides are mitochondrial toxins.
Same chemicals used to induce Parkinson's in lab animals.
Reverse osmosis water filters can remove these toxins from your drinking water.

The difference between Steve A (follows this advice) and Steve B (ignores it)?
14 years of life expectancy.
But more importantly: Steve A surfs at 90, Steve B loses independence at 50.
Your lifestyle choices today determine your 90-year-old brain.

Like my thyroid cancer journey taught me, genetics loads the gun, environment pulls the trigger.
70% of aging is controllable.
If I caused my cancer through stuck energy and chronic stress, I can uncause it.
You have the power within.

A bit about me: I've spent 20 years in the health industry learning what mainstream medicine won't tell you.
