SSRIs Are Mitochondrial Drugs

Installment six in our series on understanding the truth about SSRIs.

🧵 Our series has so far focused on serotonin and melatonin but now turns to SSRIs themselves.

Your Mitochondria and the Two Faces of Serotonin

Installment five in our series on understanding the truth about SSRIs.

🧵 In our series on how to understand the truth about serotonin, SSRIs, SSRI side effects, and the sometimes devastating effects of SSRI withdrawal...

Melatonin Is Your Mitochondria's Guardian Angel

Installment two in our series on understanding the truth about SSRIs.

🧵 As our story moves on from the first installment in our journey toward understanding why Prozac is a performance-enhancing drug, why people who use SSRIs often develop sexual dysfunction...

Prozac is a Performance-Enhancing Drug

🤔

What they never tell you about SSRIs.👇

🧵 We kick off this series on the real truth about SSRIs by making the seemingly wild observation that Prozac is a performance-enhancing drug in mice.

Nausea and Vomiting of Pregnancy Is Mitochondrial Dysfunction

The fascinating intersection between pregnancy and mitochondrial dysfunction and what to do about it.

🧵 Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is a hypersensitive reaction to mitochondrial dysfunction in the mother in order to avert greater mitochondrial dysfunction in the more sensitive baby.

Introducing Mitome

Determine your "mitochondrial type" with my first-in-kind direct-to-consumer respiratory chain test that generates a personalized protocol. I'm excited to launch the first direct-to-consumer mitochondrial respiratory chain analysis and you can order it ​here​:

The foundational origin myth of the "vaccines don't cause autism" cult is the retraction of the "fraudulent" Wakefield paper.

Just like Stalin erased Trotsky from photos of him and Lenin, they erase from history the larger 1996 Fudenberg paper that was never retracted. Published two years before Wakefield's paper, Fudenberg found that in 15 out of 22 autistics enrolled between 1984 and 1987, onset was within one week of the MMR vaccine.

Methylene Blue on the Airplane

…or underwater.

🧵 I talked to someone last night who said he uses methylene blue under two circumstances:

The Worst Longevity Idea Ever Conceived

The last thing you want to do is perpetually inhibit your mTOR.

🧵 Rapamycin is a darling of the longevity community.

I find it very hard to read the literature on this molecule without shuddering at the idea of taking it to lengthen lifespan.

My Oxalate Protocol

Oxalate causes crystals in the kidney, breasts, and brain, and is a powerful mitochondrial toxin that almost certainly shortens your lifespan and destroys your healthspan.

🧵 Do you have autism or have a friend or family member who has autism?

Oxalate levels are three times higher in autistics.

Why I Don't Care About Zone 2 Cardio

And what I do instead.

🧵 In 2022, inspired by Peter Attia’s interviews with Inigo San Millan, I experimented with measuring my lactate during exercise to calibrate my cardio to zone 2.

The Science Behind the Glycine Protocol

This is free for only 24 hours so read it now while you still have the chance!

🧵 Signs you need to pay attention to your glycine status to fix a health problem include any of the following: anxiety, poor sleep (lack of deep sleep, waking up in the middle of the night, trouble falling asleep or long sleep latency), poor memory...

Vitamins A and D have been a dominant force in infectious diseases throughout history, and their interactive, synergistic importance for optimizing immunity should be your central focus in not getting sick. 🧵 By the way, I haven't gotten a cold since I started creatine last year (currently on 8 grams), and this is despite being maximally unconscious around sick people to the point anyone would think I was crazy. This includes whatever is currently going around.

The Glycine-Oxalate Connection Your Doctor Isn't Testing For

Glycine is necessary for a long life, smooth movement, a calm mind, and stable blood sugar, but how would you know if it's too much?

🧵 3 grams of glycine one hour before bed has been shown to reduce daytime sleepiness, help people fall asleep faster, and help people feel more rested and perform better cognitively during the day.

Why You Need to Start Juicing Tonight

The Sleep-Anxiety Connection Nobody's Talking About

🧵 If you have trouble sleeping, problems with anxiety, or get startled easily, I’ve got a quick solution for you, and it involves some green juice.

There’s about a fifty percent chance your problem is that your glycine levels are low.

Now that RFK Jr. has been caught spiking his drink with smurf oil, it's time to talk about methylene blue.

Two dropper fulls is probably 20 milligrams, assuming 1% solution with 20 drops per dropper. This is a high dose compared to what many in the biohacking community use, but a small dose compared to the ten times higher doses used in some clinical trials.

Support RFK Jr. For HHS Secretary

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rein in the corporate stranglehold over medicine, health, and food, in the United States.

🧵 The RFK Jr. confirmation hearings for HHS Secretary have started today.

As with anything in politics, it’s going to be messy.

The Surgeon General is full of shit and can’t read a meta-analysis.

All but four types of cancer have inverse associations with light alcohol intake, no one has any clue what the causality is.

There are as many cancers with a “no unsafe intake except zero” distribution as there are with a “only safe intake is zero” distribution.

The Biomechanics of Immune Dysfunction

This is the elephant in the autoimmunity and cancer room that EVERYONE IS IGNORING. As I covered in my Crohn’s Protocol, and The Science Behind the Crohn’s Protocol, the big elephant in the room in Crohn’s is that biomechanical dysfunction from joint misalignments is probably the missing ingredient in Crohn’s that no one is paying attention to.

The Science Behind the Crohn's Protocol

Anyone who has Crohn's or has a first-degree relative with Crohn's needs to understand the science of Crohn's and the extraordinary power of nutrition. Crohn’s disease is one of two disorders grouped together as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), the other being ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis exclusively impacts the colon, whereas Crohn’s can impact any part of the gastrointestinal tract from mouth to anus, though the ileum and proximal colon (that is, the last section of the small intestine and first section of the large intestine) are the most often affected. In ulcerative colitis, inflammation is limited to the mucosa, the mucus-rich superficial layer of the inside of the gut.

In Crohn’s, by contrast, the inflammation is considered “transmural,” meaning that it can be found in every layer of the gut tissue, but it is also characterized by “skip areas” where diseased sections of the gut are interspersed by normal healthy sections.

How to Heal From Crohn's Disease

This four-page quick guide is a complete strategy to induce and maintain remission from Crohn's disease using diet and supplements. Crohn’s disease impacts one to three percent of the population, and first-degree relatives of people with Crohn’s disease have a ten- to 20-fold risk of developing it in the future.
