4 HORSEMAN OF DISEASE:

Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and Alzheimer's.

Here are 5 fixes anyone over 35 should know (& can save your life):

1. Insulin resistance
Problem #1: Insulin resistance

Affects up to 88% of U.S. adults.

High insulin:
– Triggers arterial plaque (heart disease)
– Fuels tumor growth via IGF-1 (cancer)
– Leads to type 2 diabetes
– Starves neurons of energy (Alzheimer’s)

It’s the earliest and most common failure: Image
Fix #1: Reverse insulin resistance

Proven interventions:
• 30+ min of walking daily
• Lower refined carb intake
• Increase fiber and protein
• Berberine
• Fasting
• Strength train 3x/week

You can reverse insulin resistance in months.
Problem #2: Nitric oxide

Nitric oxide (NO) keeps blood vessels open and flexible.

By age 40, levels are down ~50%.

– Increases blood pressure and clot risk (heart disease)
– Reduces oxygen and nutrient delivery to the brain (Alzheimer’s)
– Impairs glucose transport (diabetes)
Image
Fix #2: Boost Nitric Oxide

Clinically supported methods:
• L-citrulline (3–6g/day)
• Nitrate-rich foods (beets, arugula)
• Nasal breathing (activates NO release)
• Avoiding antiseptic mouthwash (kills oral NO-producing bacteria)

Supports vascular and brain health. Image
If you're looking for 100% natural Nitric Oxide production, here's the best one I've found:

It’s the best investment for me at 40👇

Problem #3: Mitochondrial dysfunction

Mitochondria make energy and control cell death.

When they break:
– Heart cells lose energy
– Damaged cells escape apoptosis (cancer)
– Neurons degenerate (Alzheimer’s)

It’s the engine failure behind all 4 Horsemen.
Fix #3: Mitochondrial Support

• Intermediate fasting 14–16 hours/day
• Do HIIT 1–2x/week
• Cold exposure (showers or ice baths)
• Zone 2 cardio (improves mitochondrial density)
• CoQ10, alpha-lipoic acid, creatine

Protect every cell and increase energy. Image
Fix #4: Eat anti-cancer food

These foods contain compounds that turn on your body’s defenses:

• Broccoli sprouts →
• Green tea → EGCG
• Turmeric
• Berries

Food can prevent mutations from becoming malignancies: Image
Image
Fix #5: Control Inflammation

Reduce systemic inflammation through:
• Omega-3 supplementation
• Anti-inflammatory diet (polyphenols, low sugar)
• Gut microbiome support
• Stress reduction (HRV training, grounding, breathwork)

CRP and IL-6 levels can be tracked clinically.
The 4 horsemen of disease aren’t vague “risks.”

They’re measurable breakdowns that happen quietly for decades as we age.

But now we know:
• They’re visible early
• They’re driven by lifestyle
• And most of them are preventable (some even reversible...)
If you're looking for 100% natural Nitric Oxide production, here's the best one I've found:

It’s the best investment for me at 40👇

Grey hair is not aging.

1 in 4 people are turning grey before 30.

Here are 6 science-backed foods for thick & dark hair:

1. Eggs (with yolk)
Nature’s multivitamin for your hair.

Biotin, zinc, sulfur, and protein in one.

Biotin builds keratin, and sulfur boosts shine and hair structure. Image
2/ Liver (beef or chicken)

Nature’s most concentrated source of hair nutrients:

B12, folate, iron, copper, and biotin.

Supports red blood cell flow, melanocyte health, and keratin production.

You've been lied to.

The foods they say are making you fat…Actually helps you lose weight.

Eat these 7 foods every day:

1. White Rice
Yes…white rice, but only when cooled or eaten with vinegar:

• Increases resistant starch
• Lowers glycemic response
• Feeds healthy gut bacteria

Better tolerated than potatoes for many. Image
2. Eggs

High in protein.

Protein:
• Keeps you full
• Builds muscle
• Burns more calories during digestion

Helps reduce total calories without feeling

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.

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
Image
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. Image

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.... Image

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. Image
