This might save your life:

1 in 2 adults over 30 suffers from hypertension.

When blood pressure is too high, it destroys your brain, heart, and energy without symptoms.

Here's how to fix the “silent killer” (& not be stuck on lifelong meds): 🧵
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. Image
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 real root-level fix.
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👇

Fix #1: Improve insulin sensitivity

High insulin = narrow arteries + high pressure.

How to fix it:
– Cut added sugar and ultra-processed carbs
– Time-restricted eating (12–16 hr fasts)
– Lift weights 3x/week
– Add berberine or magnesium (both improve insulin signaling)
Fix #2: Restore electrolyte balance

Most hypertensive patients are low in potassium and magnesium, not just high in sodium.

How to fix it:
– Eat 2+ servings of dark leafy greens daily
– Avocados, bananas, salmon, and pumpkin seeds
– Take magnesium glycinate (200–400 mg/day) Image
Fix #3: Walk 30 minutes per day

Walking is blood pressure medicine.

Even light walking improves:
– Arterial flexibility
– Resting heart rate
– Sympathetic tone
– Endothelial function
Start with 15 minutes after meals and build up.

– 15-minute walks after each meal
– 150+ minutes/week of zone 2 aerobic (60–70% max HR)
– Bonus: add heat therapy (sauna) 2–3x/week → mimics cardio effect

This improves VO2 max, an independent predictor of blood pressure normalization.
Fix #4: Breathe therapy

Slow, nasal breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system.

Try this:
– 4 seconds in
– 4 seconds hold
– 6–8 seconds out
– Repeat for 5 minutes

Clinically shown to reduce systolic BP by 8–10 points in weeks.
Fix #5: Sleep & fix apnea

Poor sleep leads to elevated cortisol, impaired glymphatic flow, and sustained BP elevation.

– 7.5+ hours/night
– Nasal breathing
– Stable cortisol rhythm

Sleep apnea is present in >50% of people with resistant hypertension; get checked. Image
Fix #6: Boost nitric oxide

NO is a molecule that relaxes blood vessels.

Low levels lead to constriction and pressure.

Best ways to raise it:
– Beetroot juice
– Arugula, spinach, and celery
– Mouth tape at night (support oral NO conversion)
– Avoid antiseptic mouthwash Image

You “die” when your heart stops.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death, more than all forms of cancer and accidents combined.

Here are 3 doctor-approved fixes to make your heart 20 years younger:

Problem #1: Your arteries are hardening.
As you age, blood vessels stiffen.

This slowly increases blood pressure and heart strain, entering a vicious cycle.

Smoking, sugar, and stress further accelerate this process.

The ultimate goal: Keep your arteries elastic and young.
Problem #2: Endothelial dysfunction

The endothelium controls vascular tone and blood flow.

When it’s inflamed, nitric oxide (NO) drops.

Less NO means:
• Constricted vessels
• Higher blood pressure
• Faster arterial aging

This is Anterior Pelvic Tilt.

It causes beer belly, lower back pain, and 7 out of 10 of people who sit all day have it.

Here’s how to know if you are it (& doctor proven ways to fix it):
What is Anterior pelvic tilt (APT).

Your pelvis tilts forward andexaggerates the curve in your lower spine:
• Compressed lower back
• Tight hip flexors
• Inactive glutes
• Core instability

It’s not just “bad posture”, it’s a structural imbalance. Image
How to tell if you have APT

Try the wall test:

• Stand with head, upper back, and butt touching the wall
• Slide your hand behind your lower back
• If your full arm fits through

—your pelvis is likely tilted

Your morning decides your day.

But most people are doing it wrong.

Here’s the science-backed “best” morning routine:

1. Don’t drink coffee
Delay caffeine 60–90 minutes after you wake up.

Caffeine too early leads to energy crash.

Waiting allows adenosine to clear naturally, giving caffeine more power later.

Drink your coffee after your natural sunlight and hydration.
2. Wake at the same time every day (even weekends)

Your brain thrives on rhythm.

• Better mood
• Deeper sleep at night
• Stable hormones

That also means sleeping at the same time everyday and keeping your rhythm. Image

You can eat clean, train daily, and still gain fat.

Because cortisol is silently sabotaging your hormones, metabolism, and recovery.

Here’s 7 ways to fix it like a doctor:

1. Direct morning sunlight
Your cortisol is supposed to spike in the morning and fall at night.

Fix it:
• Get outside within 30 minutes of waking
• 5–15 minutes of direct light (no sunglasses)
• Anchor this daily

This restores your cortisol rhythm, not just levels.
2. Deep sleep(non-negotiable)

Bad sleep raises cortisol up to 45% the next day.

Studies show:
• Deep sleep suppresses nighttime cortisol
• Sleep restriction leads to 48h+ elevated cortisol

Deep sleep directly regulates cortisol output. Image

You don’t have a belly fat problem.

You have a cortisol problem.

You feel wired but tired, gain belly fat even when you’re dieting, sleep poorly, and feel stressed.

Here’s what cortisol does (& how to fix it):🧵
Cortisol is your body’s main stress hormone.

When used well:
• Wake you up
• Fight inflammation
• Mobilize energy
• Survive short-term stress

When chronically elevated:
• Destroys your sleep
• Drives belly fat
• Breaks down muscle
• Wrecks your mood
High cortisol traps your body into fat-gain mode.

When cortisol stays high:
• Belly fat grows faster
• Cells become more reactive to stress
• Insulin pushes more fat into storage

Visceral fat around your belly has more cortisol receptors than other fat.

You don't have a belly fat problem.

You have a visceral fat problem.

This "dangerous fat" wraps around your intestines, heart, and destroys your waistline regardless of how much you diet or do cardio.

Here’s 5 doctor-approved fixes to get rid of it:🧵
Most people worry about belly fat they can grab.

But visceral fat is behind your abs, hidden deep in your gut.

You can’t see it, but it’s the most dangerous fat in your body.

It pumps out inflammatory chemicals 24/7 that damage your brain, hormones, and heart. Image
Visceral fat is linked to:

• Heart attacks
• Type 2 diabetes
• Fatty liver
• Alzheimer’s
• Erectile dysfunction
• Low testosterone
• Fatigue + anxiety

You can have it even if you look lean.
It’s called “TOFI”, thin Outside, fat Inside. Image
