Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about Dr. Jason Fung.

While Type 2 Diabetes and insulin resistance take years off your lifespan...

He's proved you can reverse them naturally without meds.

Here are his top 7 protocols to reverse insulin resistance (bookmark this):🧵 Image
1. Start with 16:8 intermittent fasting.

Fast for 16 hours and eat within an 8-hour window.

This alone reversed Type 2 diabetes in many of Dr. Fung's patients.

Your insulin drops low enough to finally start burning stored fat.
2. Cut refined carbohydrates.

Sugar, white bread, white rice and pasta spike blood sugar the most.

The result?

More insulin, more insulin resistance, more fat.

50% of Fung's patients reversed diabetes just from this one change.
3. Graduate to 24-hour fasts.

After 4 weeks of 16:8, extend your fasts to a full 24 hours.

Do this 1-3 times per week.

Fung's patients averaged 0.5 pounds of pure fat loss per fasting day.
4. Eat your carbs LAST.

Fung recommends eating macros in this order:

Protein → Fat → Carbs.

This is the least insulin-triggering sequence.

It slows glucose absorption and reduces the blood sugar spike after every meal.
5. Eliminate all processed foods.

Fung's rule is simple:

If your great-grandmother wouldn't recognize it as food, don't eat it.

Processed foods spike insulin nonstop.

Replace them with meat, fish, eggs, fruit and vegetables.
6. Exercise while fasted.

It depletes glycogen and activates AMPK, forcing your cells to absorb glucose WITHOUT insulin.

Start with lighter workouts to get used to it.

Even a 20-minute walk before breakfast makes a difference.
7. Stop snacking between meals.

Every time you eat, you spike insulin.

The problem?

Most people eat 6-8 times a day and never give insulin a chance to drop.

Stick to 2-3 meals with zero snacking in between.
The Bottom Line:

38% of Americans are so insulin resistant that they're pre-diabetic.

But most don't realize it.

Follow these hacks, maintain a healthy weight and you can reverse insulin resistance.

The natural molecule that widens your blood vessels and lowers blood pressure:

Nitric Oxide.

Low Nitric Oxide is a reason why blood pressure meds don't work for most people on them.

Here are 10 tips to boost it naturally (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Don't use mouthwash
2. Eat nitrate-rich foods.

Your body converts dietary nitrates into Nitric Oxide through a simple pathway:

Nitrates → Nitrites → Nitric Oxide.

The best sources are:

- Beets
- Lettuce
- Arugula
- Spinach

Eat at least one serving every single day.
3. Breathe through your nose.

Your paranasal sinuses produce Nitric Oxide.

When you inhale through your nose, it's carried into your lungs with the air.

Nasal breathing boosts Nitric Oxide production by up to 20%.

You can tape your mouth while you sleep too.

Your doctor's first move for high blood pressure is medication.

But 71% of Americans on blood pressure meds still don't have it under control...

Here are 7 tips to lower your blood pressure naturally (bookmark this): 🧵

1. Use sauna, hot tubs or hot baths
2. Strength train 3 times per week.

Muscle pulls sugar from your blood without needing insulin.

This improves insulin sensitivity which lowers blood pressure by:

• Improving vessel function
• Reducing arterial stiffness
• Lowering resting heart rate.
3. Walk for 30 minutes every day.

Walking increases blood flow and triggers nitric oxide release in your blood vessels.

Nitric oxide widens your arteries and directly lowers blood pressure.

Even a simple daily walk can drop your numbers within weeks.

Your arteries could be quietly filling up with plaque right now.

Meds like statins won't reverse the damage.

But a new study of 1,062 people showed Nattokinase shrank arterial plaque by 36% in one year.

Here are all its health benefits (& how to use it properly):🧵
1. Dissolves blood clots.

Nattokinase is a fibrinolytic enzyme that breaks down fibrin, the protein that binds blood clots together.

This is the same job your body's natural plasmin does, but as you age, plasmin activity drops.

That's when clots start to stick. Image
2. Shrinks arterial plaque.

Most doctors will tell you plaque buildup can't be reversed.

But the 2022 trial of 1,062 adults proved otherwise.

After 12 months on a high dose of Nattokinase, carotid plaque size dropped by 36% on average.

This is unheard of. Image

Big Pharma doesn't want you to know about this supplement.

It lowers insulin resistance by up to 42% in 8 weeks.

It's like a natural Ozempic and the mechanism is actually legit.

Here's how Psyllium Husk helps fix insulin resistance (bookmark this): 🧵 Image
1. What HOMA-IR actually measures.

HOMA-IR is the gold standard score for insulin resistance.

It's calculated from your fasting glucose and fasting insulin.

Above 2.5 = insulin resistant.

The lower, the better your cells respond to insulin and burn fat for energy. Image
2. The meta-analysis data.

A 2024 review of 19 RCTs (962 participants) tested psyllium against placebo.

The results:

- HOMA-IR: dropped 1.17 units
- HbA1c: dropped 0.75%
- Fasting blood sugar: dropped 6.89 mg/dL

All statistically significant. Image

High cholesterol is NOT always the silent killer they told you about.

The healthcare system falsely obsesses over your LDL while overlooking everything else that puts you at risk of heart disease.

Here are 8 ways to lower your risk of heart disease (without statins):🧵
1. Test your ApoB.

Your standard cholesterol test only measures the amount of cholesterol inside LDL particles.

ApoB counts the actual number of dangerous particles in your blood.

It predicts heart attacks far more accurately than LDL cholesterol. Image
2. Cut refined carbs and sugar.

Refined carbs spike your blood sugar which forces your liver to convert the excess into triglycerides.

This directly worsens your cholesterol profile without you realizing it.

Swap bread, pasta and sugary snacks for whole foods.

Insulin resistance silently fuels fat gain and heart disease.

But fixing it isn't just about cutting carbs.

Here are 8 other science-backed ways to fix it:🧵

1. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day" is a marketing slogan from cereal companies. Skip it
2. Walk after every meal.

Even a 10-minute walk after eating can lower your blood sugar spike by up to 30%.

Walking pulls glucose from your bloodstream into your muscles WITHOUT needing insulin to do it.

Walking has so many other health benefits too.
3. Take supplements like these that help you burn fat, improve your metabolic flexibility and enhance your insulin sensitivity:

- CLA
- Berberine
- L-Carnitine
- Fucoxanthin
- Glucomannan
- Green Tea Extract
- Cayenne Pepper
- Grains of Paradise
- White Kidney Bean
- Apple Cider Vinegar
