It's estimated that 57 million people worldwide are living with Alzheimer's disease and this will only get worse (83.2 million people by 2030).

So if you want to understand some key things on this topic, whether these are its main causes, neglected but quite important factors that can exacerbate it or the most promising tools when it comes to managing it, tap in.

Alzheimer’s disease (named after Alois Alzheimer, who identified amyloid plaques and tau tangles in a patient’s brain) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that destroys neurons (neurons transmit signals through synapses, converting electrical impulses into chemical signals through neurotransmitters).

If you are interested in improving your health, the “oil of the pharaohs”, aka black seed oil, should be a staple in your arsenal.

There probably isn't any other medicinal food that can do (or greatly assist) ALL of the following:

•Increase glutathione levels
•Improve insulin sensitivity
•Enhance amyloid clearance
•Improve the function of the immune system
•Support endothelial function
•Reduce inflammation
•Suppress mast cell degranulation
•Improve lipid profiles
•Improve a wide range of skin issues
•Lower blood pressure
•Improve male fertility
•Modulate the stress-sleep-immunity axis
•Increase BDNF and support neuroplasticity overall
•Has anticancer potential (potential, it’s not a “cure”)
•Has great antifungal and antibacterial properties

and way more, while also having few side effects (sorry, but everything will have side effects for some people).

So here’s how this oil is able to accomplish all these, who could benefit from its use, who should stay away from it and more.

Derivatives of black seeds, such as black seed oil, have been cultivated and used for almost 3,000 years in various cultures.

Some archaeological evidence suggests that these seeds were used as early as 2,000 BCE in Mesopotamia and these seeds were even discovered in the tomb of Tutankhamun.

For thousands of years, physicians have used it to treat a range of ailments, from digestive issues to skin conditions.

Endotoxins can lead to almost any health issue under the sun and are shown to cause:
-Liver damage
-Depression
-Heart disease
-Allergies
-Skin issue
-Hormonal issues
and much more.

You might already know this but most tips and tricks surrounding this topic are incomplete.

So here's a more in depth guide for anyone interested in this topic.

Now, endotoxins constitute even up to 20% of the microbiome in healthy individual and are lipopolysaccharides (LPS) that are mainly produced by gram-negative bacteria (they are found in their outer membrane) and released when bacterial cells die or divide.

Dysbiosis, such as in SIBO or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) for example, increases their production by quite a lot.

Structurally, they consist of:
-Lipid A: The toxic anchor responsible for immune activation and inflammation.
-Core Oligosaccharide: A sugar-based structure that stabilizes the molecule.
-O-Antigen: A variable polysaccharide chain that determines bacterial strain specificity.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women with 49,000 people passing away from cardiovascular disease EVERY DAY.

Yet it still is a neglected topic and most advice surrounding it still emphasizes on old topics that are proven almost irrelevant.

So in this thread i'd like to share with you some key insights when it comes to having a healthy heart.

Thread🧵 *Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

Heart disease, just like all health issues, has been skyrocketing over the last decades due to a variety of factors from dietary ones all the way to lifestyle ones. Let's start with the basics.

The heart, is a muscular organ about the size of a fist (everyone’s heart size is different though) which is located behind and slightly on the left of your breastbone.

Here’s a guide on the most powerful antioxidant that exists and how to optimize its production for better:

The most powerful antioxidant is not vitamin C, E or even glutathione.

Even though all of these are extremely important since each one has unique roles within the human body (for example, glutathione is critical for detoxification) the most powerful antioxidant is free and it's called melatonin.

First of all, vitamins are organic substances that are generally classified as either fat soluble or water soluble.

Fat soluble vitamins such as: vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K dissolve in fat and tend to accumulate in the body.

Water soluble vitamins such as: vitamin C and the B-complex vitamins must dissolve in water before they can be absorbed by the body, and therefore cannot be stored.

Any water-soluble vitamins unused by the body are primarily lost through urine.

Minerals are inorganic elements present in soil and water, which are absorbed by plants or consumed by animals and include things such as: calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, copper and iodine.

Do you want to know the real "secret" for getting healthier?
It's called optimizing your circadian rhythm.

Your CR controls the health of:
-Your hormones
-Your hair (not a joke)
-Your tendons (also not a joke)
-Your skin
-Your gut
-Your liver
-Your brain
-Your heart
and in general, everything.

So a dysregulated circadian rhythm leads to every biological process becoming dysregulated.

If you still don't believe that this is crucial to understand, shift work ALONE is a class 2A carcinogen (tap in the pics).

Let me repeat that because it's wild.

You can eat the perfect diet and workout all you want but if you work a night shift, you are exposed to a class 2A carcinogen.

Now let's proceed into discussing what the circadian rhythm is and how to optimize it.


So, circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that are part of the body’s internal clock, one example is the sleep-wake cycle, which are influenced and controlled by:

1. The suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) / the central master clock (a bilateral structure located in the hypothalamus directly above the optic chiasm)

and

2. Peripheral clocks in organs such as the pancreas, liver, heart and even muscle tissues

Now, a misunderstanding might happen due to the examples that we just used, which is that circadian rhythms are only affected by environmental cues.

This is false.

They play indeed a GREAT part but the body makes and keeps its own circadian rhythms for lack of a better term.

Also: Not all biological clocks are circadian.

Most people, use the wrong probiotics and end up making their digestive issues worse.

But if you give me 3 minutes i can save you time, money and actually show you how to use them 👇

As always, nothing in here should be used as a substitute for medical medical.

Now probiotic supplements have been very popular for quite some time and can be extremely helpful tools in recovering from digestive issues.

Yet there are a lot of misconceptions about them, so here are some things that will help you understand better and use them more effectively.

First and foremost, before we talk about anything else, keep in mind the following:

Supplements are not FDA-regulated as drugs, so always go for third-party tested products.

Then, in order for probiotics to work, they need to obviously survive the stomach acid in order to reach the gut so always see if the specific brand you want to use mentions something such as "enteric-coated capsules" in the label.

Now, probiotics are classified based on the following 3 things.

1. The genus
2. The species
3. The strain

So when you see the term "Lactobacillus reuteri ATCC 55730", lactobacillus is the genus, reuteri is the species and ATCC 55730 is the strain.

The potency of probiotics is measured in CFUs, aka Colony-Forming Units.

You might also see the term AFUs being used that stands for Active Fluorescent Unit. The main 3 genus of probiotics you will encounter in supplements are the following:

1. Lactobacillus genus

These species produce lactic acid and primarily colonize the small intestine.

The main species include:

-Lactobacillus acidophilus with strains such as NCFM, LA-14, CL1285, DDS-1 and UALa-01

These strains should be avoided with people who struggle with pathogen overgrowths and especially for people who have SIBO (why plenty of people who have SIBO can start having fruit without many issues after they start addressing it, but as soon as they eat yogurt for example, all hell breaks loose (especially if they go for some brands such as activia)) BUT they can have certain benefits in case you are not struggling with an overgrowth with the main one being helping antibiotic-associated diarrhea and supporting the immune system.

-Lactobacillus rhamnosus with strains such as GG (LGG), HRVD113-US, SD-GG-BE, LRH020
Now this one, is a great species that has all the benefits that probiotics are supposed to have but can also help with IBS way more than other probiotic genus, help us excrete mycotoxins better and has even shown to reduce atopic dermatitis.

*If you want to try one, the first one is the GG (LGG) strain.

- Lactobacillus plantarum with strains such as PS128, SD-LP1-IT, UALp-05, PPLP-217, SD-LPLDL-UK, TWK10.
This one is weird. It works great for histamine intolerance and supporting the brain but only if you have addressed the main things first.

By this i mean that if your histamine intolerance springs from gut dysbiosis and certain nutrient deficiencies for example, then adding plantarum won't do much by itself and you will feel that you've wasted your money.

But if you have addressed these, experienced improvements and are looking for an extra 20% improvement in symptoms, it can be a great addition.

(This is true for all supplement of course but not to this extent).

It's also an underrated tool for improving nutrient absorption.

-Lactobacillus casei with strains such as DN-114 001, HRVD300-US, UALc-03, Lbc80r, SD-CECT9104-SP
Now this has actually been shown to improve IBD, BUT, only if it's not paired with an overgrowth since strains such as DN-114 001 ferment sugars very efficiently.

It's also shown to reduce respiratory infections but not as effective as Lactobacillus paracasei (it's mainly advertised for allergic rhinitis symptoms after all).

-Lactobacillus reuteri with strains such as ATCC 55730, PBS072, RD830-FR, SD-LRE2-IT
This one is quite popular and for good reasons.

But MOST products have a ridiculous amount (we are talking about more than 50 billion CFUs) and even though it can reduce methane production in methane-dominant SIBO, improving constipation by producing antimicrobial compounds such as reuterin, these high doses can overwhelm the small intestine, increasing bacterial load.

This simple and underrated reasons is why so many people with SIBO praise this genus while others hate it.

Now of course it has plenty of benefits such as promoting mucus production, balancing lipids, reducing ulcer and even supporting androgens.

-Lactobacillus crispatus with strains such as SD-LCR01-IT

The main benefit for this is helping prevent bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections by maintaining vaginal pH.

-Lactobacillus fermentum with strains such as SD-LF8-IT

This will have some benefits for a niche issue but overall it's not worth it especially if you have any bacterial overgrwoth.

-Lactobacillus salivarius with strains such as SD-LS1-IT

This is quite interesting for reducing plaque and bacteria related to gum disease.

-Lactobacillus bulgaricus
Don't like it. It can help lactose intolerance but it's even that effective for it and it make pathogen overgrowths way worse.

Toxins are indeed one of the primary drivers behind a lot of people's health issues but most of the detox advice is false.

Here's what you need know presented as a 10-step plan.
Thread🧵
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

One of the worst (but very common) mistakes someone can do when entering his health journey is to underestimate the impact that toxins have on our health.

While topics such as nutrition are becoming more and more mainstream, topics such as detoxing are still considered almost conspiratorial and for valid reasons a lot of the time to be honest.

But certain toxins such as heavy metals for example have a bigger (and faster) negative impact on our health than dietary toxins and if you’ve struggled with them you know that this is true.

So it is an undeniable reality that we’re exposed to more toxins than we’ve ever been through our food, personal care products, household items, clothing and even the air we breathe, something which is hiding behind a lot of health issues such as:

-Premature gray hair
-Histamine intolerance
-Gut issues
-Fatigue
-Brain fog
-MCAS
-Increased susceptibility to pathogens/gut issues
-Alzheimer’s
-Parkinson’s
-Liver issues
-Respiratory Issues
-Cardiovascular issues
-Reproductive issues
-Kidney issues
-Skin issues
-Hormonal issues
-High blood pressure
-ED
and more.

Here's a guide for improving:
-Acne
-Psoriasis
-Eczema
-Rosacea
-Vitiligo
-Seborrheic dermatitis
that will finally make you understand the driving factors each one and the biggest levers you can pull to improve them.

Red Light Therapy (RLT) is a subpart of phototherapy.

Phototherapy basically is the use of light for therapeutic purposes and is based on the interaction of light with biological tissues.

Phototherapy relies on the ability of specific molecules (such as chromophores) to absorb photons and activate biological processes (photobiomodulation (PBM), mitochondrial stimulation, cellular regeneration etc).

Price found primitive cultures throughout the world who had perfect teeth spacing and no evidence of cavities while similar cultures with modern diets had very high rates of tooth decay which led Price to hypothesize that dietary factors were the main contributors for this phenomenon.

This was also despite the fact that these cultures had no access to dentists, toothpaste, mouthwash and a million other things that are supposed to help our oral health.
