You've been lied to about Nicotine.

All you've been told is how addictive & terrible it is for your health...

But when used correctly?

It's the ultimate health hack.

Here are the secrets 99% of people don't know about nicotine (& how beneficial it can be): Image
Image
1. Nicotine & Mental Focus

Whenever I need deep focus for intensive work, I use 3mg of nicotine.

It’s a cheat code for productivity.

Unlike caffeine, nicotine has a shorter half-life.

Which means less adrenal stress.
Combined with my brain health stack, it allows me to get locked in without the jitters.

But be careful…

Whatever you focus on will become amplified.

If you end up on TikTok for example, it’ll be hard to pull yourself out.
2. Nicotine & The Sympathetic Nervous System

Nicotine activates the sympathetic nervous system (your fight or flight mode).

It releases:

• Dopamine
• Epinephrine
• Norepinephrine

Which boosts your focus, energy, and metabolism.

But remember…
Nicotine isn’t ideal near meals.

Why?

It hinders your digestion.

So avoid using it when eating to let your body stay in a calm (parasympathetic) state.
3. Nicotine For Brain Activity

Your brain loves burning fat for energy.

Especially during intense focus periods.

Nicotine helps mobilize fat, allowing your brain to use it as fuel.

This makes it an essential tool for maintaining high cognitive output, especially during prep.

Caffeine + Nicotine = a 100% increase in thermogenesis.
4. Nicotine Burns Fat

Here’s how nicotine accelerates fat loss:

• Dopamine acts as an appetite suppressant, increasing satiety.
• Epinephrine and norepinephrine elevates your basal metabolic rate & fatty acid oxidation.
• Nicotine also boosts Uncoupling Proteins (UCPs), which force the body to use more fat as a fuel source.

Pairing nicotine with injectable L-carnitine bridges fat to the mitochondria for energy use…

Amplifying it’s fat burning capabilities.
5. How to Use Nicotine Effectively

1mg nicotine with 100mg caffeine is a POWERFUL combination.

Chew half a nicotine gum (typically 2mg) with a cup of coffee.

However, if you tend to be anxious, use it sparingly.

Nicotine boosts catecholamines, which can increase anxiety.

Adding L-theanine or ashwagandha can help keep you calm.
6. Nicotine vs. Other Fat Burners

Nicotine is a unique uncoupling agent.

Unlike T3 or DNP, nicotine boosts fat burning without any intense side effects

(like heat from DNP or heart stress from T3).

It’s safer and effective when combined with caffeine, making it an excellent addition to your fat loss stack.
7. Motility Benefits

Nicotine also increases bowel motility.

If you're dealing with slow digestion or backed-up bowels...

Nicotine can definitely help to keep things moving.
8. Nutrient Partitioning & Fat Loss

Nicotine drives nutrients into muscle cells instead of fat cells during lipogenesis.

When combined with a good cardio routine…

It ensures more nutrients will go to preserving muscle rather than adding fat.
9. How To Use Nicotine Safely:

There’s a blood pressure response to nicotine.

It causes vasoconstriction, which increases blood pressure.

To mitigate this, take:

• 1200mg of Hawthorn Berry
• 1000mg of Citrulline
• 1000mg of Arginine

These supplements help promote vasodilation, ensuring good blood flow and reducing the risk of hypertension.

Use them alongside nicotine for a more balanced approach.
10. How To Implement Nicotine For Fat Loss:

The best way to use nicotine for fat loss:

• 1mg nicotine + 100mg caffeine before fasted cardio
• Use it again after your first meal
• Another dose when you hit that afternoon crash

This keeps your focus and fat burning high throughout the day.

While minimizing other more intense fat burners.
Nicotine isn’t necessarily bad for you...

When used correctly, it can:

• Burn fat
• Improve digestion
• Increase cognitive performance

It’s up to you to figure out how to responsibly use it.

12 Body Language Hacks Every Masculine Man Should Master:

- Masculinity Thread - Image
1. Own the room with your entrance.

Most men underestimate how powerful their entrance is. The moment you walk into a room, people—especially women—scan you in seconds.

A masculine man doesn’t enter with noise or flash. He enters with purpose.

Shoulders rolled back, chest slightly open, chin parallel to the ground—not tilted up in arrogance, but never down in submission.

His strides are controlled, neither too fast nor too slow, as if time bends around him.

He doesn’t look around frantically or try to read the room—he already knows who he is, and the room will adjust accordingly.

Your entrance sets the tone for your dominance without a word.
2. Stop fidgeting—it signals insecurity.

Masculinity thrives in stillness. Constantly touching your face, adjusting your clothes, cracking knuckles, or shifting your weight tells others you’re uncomfortable or anxious.

A masculine man knows that less movement equals more control. His hands rest calmly.

His posture is relaxed, not rigid. And when he speaks, he doesn’t use unnecessary gestures.

Every movement is deliberate. When you’re still, people pay more attention to what you do.

You come across as calm, powerful, and grounded—even in high-pressure environments.

The most versatile medicine in the world:

Baking soda.

They want you to believe it's just for baking...

But this simple ingredient can do amazing things for the human body.

2. Natural antacid:

Do you have heartburn or acid reflux?

The biggest improvement in my life came when I realized happiness is just a product of good habits.

9 habits I used to unf*ck myself:
Say No by Default

Your time's precious: don't give it to people who don't deserve it.

Especially to Energy Vampires who drain your energy.

Conquer FOMO and put yourself first - my rule of thumb is if it's not a f*ck yes, it's a no
Get Addicted to Learning

I put time aside daily before bed to read.

At first, it was tough to stay consistent - but the more I did it, the more its effects compounded.

Your information diet is just like your actual diet: if you eat crap, you'll feel crap.

Inflammation is behind nearly every chronic disease—
From stubborn belly fat to heart attacks.

But no one talks about how to actually fix it.

Here are 10 underrated anti-inflammatory cheat codes your doctor won't mention:
1. Grounding

Nature literally heals.

You've been lied to.

The foods they say are killing you…

Are actually superfoods.

Here are 7 foods you should be eating every day:

1. Salt Image
Let's get this straight.

Water alone does not effectively hydrate you

and salt does NOT dehydrate you, OR increase blood pressure.

Salt is the cornerstone of life, it's why your blood is literally salty.
Causes high blood pressure and heart disease.

Truth: While excessive sodium intake can be harmful, salt is essential for:

• Hydration
• Nerve function
• Muscle contractions

The key is balance and choosing quality sources like sea salt or Himalayan salt.
