Most people try to improve their gut health the wrong way.

So if you are struggling with gut issues such as bloating, constipation, IBS,SIBO, SIFO and candida, here's the ultimate plan for improving them.

Master thread🧵 *Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice and that plenty of people will not have to apply all of these in order to experience improvements*

When it comes to our health, everything starts from and depends on the gut.

From low testosterone, histamine intolerance, depression, chronic fatigue, ED and skin problems, all the way to hair loss, optimizing ones gut health is a non-negotiable step in improving any health issue that he might want to.

One of the main reasons why more and more people are getting sick is constant exposure to nnEMFs and we have the undeniable evidence to back up this claim.

Here are some things you must know in order to navigate our nnEMF -filled world better and avoid sickness.

Today's topic can seem weird, cultish or whatever and for valid reasons because it's a concept that a lot of the "experts" in it refuse to dumb it down.

But no matter your background, i hope that you will understand what's being discussed in this thread and find it helpful since this is a quite important subject for anyone who is interested in living a healthy life.

This is why we will do two intros in order to pick the one that better helps you understand this topic.

Did you know, that even if you are healthy and have no history of depressive disorders i can make you depressed through endotoxin infusions?

Here are some things worth knowing.
Thread 🧵
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute or medical advice*

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.

Optimizing your hormones starts with implementing the following lifestyle changes, not fancy supplements, devices or whatever.

So here the key lifestyle change you must immediately implement if you want to have healthy hormones.

Obviously you are probably already that our hormones control everything from how we think, feel and our energy levels all the way to our libido, immune system and mental clarity.

The only thing i'd like to mention before diving in this thread is that these lifestyle changes have way more data behind them than most fancy supplements.

So they are not only MORE effective than most supplements but also MORE backed up.

The topic of iron overload is trending again.

So here's how an excess of this nutrient is one of the main drivers of health problems such as gout attacks, gut issues, cancer, liver issues, acne and even low testosterone and hair loss (plus what to do about it).

As stated, this thread will be about iron.

Now of course, iron by itself is not a useless or dangerous mineral overall since for example iron is needed for hemoglobin and myoglobin production.

The amount of people i've seen in the last months with kidneys issues is scary.

And most didn't even consider that this was the case despite symptoms such as fatigue, high blood pressure, intolerance to amino acid and mineral supplements, urine changes etc.

Or despite the fact that right now almost 1 in 5 Americans has kidney disease.

You might not think that this is high, but it really is.

So let's talk about how to take care of your kidneys.
Thread 🧵
*Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

It's George and today we will talk about the kidneys.
A quite important, yet neglected organ.

As always the structure of this thread will follow my typical writing style which is:
-A basic breakdown of the organs
-Why they are important
-Tests you can take in order to assess their function
-What our kidneys need by default in order to be healthy
-Supplements/tools overall you can use for certain conditions
-Genetic factors

Why all these?

Well, because by understanding the main functions of an organ for example, you will immediately understand why its dysfunction causes certain symptoms that you might be experiencing.

Bad oral health is common these days, yet this doesn't mean that most of the frequently occurring issues are normal and not preventable.

So here's a holistic approach for improving your oral health.

It's George.
If you think that bad oral health is normal, think again.

The dentist Weston A. 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.

Everyone seems to know what Candida is, yet most roadmaps addressing it are ineffective at best (you know this already if you’ve tried them).

-Tests you can take
-What candida even is
-The most common causes in order to finally determine the main ones that are driving your overgrowth
-How to address each one in the most efficient way possible
-Common mistakes to avoid
-Breakdown of the most helpful supplements in this journey

It’s George and please bear with me for a second.

In these holistic spaces, we somehow tend to forget how popular “3 day cleanses” and things of similar nature are so allow me to say that they don’t work. Period. The end. They are great narratives to make money but they don’t work.

So, even though the following tips will 100% be helpful, remember that they are not an overnight and that depending on your starting point you might need to work on this issue for 2-3 months before noticing great improvements.

Also keep in mind that this is a thread and there’s only so much volume of information that can by default be posted.

So treat this thread as a reference point for the non negotiable fundamentals.

Let’s get into it.

Honey isn't just "sugar" and bee products can help you:
-Live longer
-Have more energy
-Improve your libido
-Improve you sleep better
-Help you fight infections
-Help you fight allergies
and more.

Let's dive in.
Thread🧵
It's George.

We’ve been aware of the almost countless benefits of bee products for thousands of years.

From the Egyptians and Romans all the way to the Babylonians, honey was consumed and utilized for a variety of issues.

But unfortunately, given that in this day and age a lot of focus is being put in synthetic substances since they have larger profit margins, these tools can be neglected.

The thyroid gland affects more processes than we can count and its dysfunction very often leads to:
• Severe fatigue
• Brain fog
• Low libido
• SIBO
• High LDL
• Overall hormonal imbalances
• Depression
• Gut issues

If i could summarize the most importance principles to keep in mind in a single thread, this would be it🧵 *Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

It's George.
No matter what issue you want to improve, addressing the thyroid gland is key.

You already know this to be true if you are suffering from any type of thyroid dysfunction but here's an example i always try to mention.

Let's suppose that you want to lose weight, well in order to put in perspective how much the thyroid gland affects our metabolism, resistance training which is promoted as one of the best tools to increase BMR, can only lead to a 10% increase (which is still great).

Now here's what's fascinated, untreated hypothyroidism can lead to a BMR that's even 40% below normal and an even 50mcg of T3 day can increase BMR by even 30% in some cases.

These numbers should shock everyone.

One of the best things you can do for your brain, fertility, hormonal health, skin health, hair health and even the environment is avoiding xenoestrogens for the rest of your life.

Here’s exactly what you need to know about them.

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

It's George.
First things first. If i came to you and injected you with a hormone, you would probably punch me.

Great.

I shouldn't be able to negatively affect your hormonal profile without you being aware of this fact and giving me your consent.

But the same standard is not applied to the topic of xenoestrogens and in order to understand how bad things have gotten, it's very likely that you consume a credit card's worth of microplastics every week and have microplastics in your brain, bone marrow, lungs and in the case you are a man in your testicles as well.

Mold and mycotoxins are some of the primary drivers behind a lot of people's health issues.

Here are some things to consider for effectively battling them.

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

It's George.

First and foremost, we are all exposed to various kinds of mold.

Mold overall is not the issues, certain types that release mycotoxins such as:

-Aflatoxins such as aflatoxin B1 that are produced by Aspergillus species.

-Ochratoxins such as ochratoxin A that is produced by Aspergillus and Penicillium sp.

-Trichothecenes that encompass about 100 subtypes of metabolites from Fusarium species.

-Zearalenone that is produced by Fusarium species.

-Fumonisins that are metabolites produced by Fusarium species.

-Ergotamine / Ergot alkaloids that are compounds created by Claviceps species.

The right types of fat, are crucial for:
-Energy production
-Hormone production
-Neuronal membrane function
-Immune function
-Skin health
and more.

Yet plenty of people can't properly digest or process fats, so let's see the most common causes.

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

Our starting point in this thread will be briefly understanding what fatty acids even are.

Now, just like amino acids are the “building blocks” of protein, fatty acids are the “building blocks” of fats.

They are important for functions such as energy production, especially for tissues such as the heart, the brain and skeletal muscles, some of them are by default components of neuronal membranes, they are needed for healthy hormone production, they are used to make signaling molecules like prostaglandins, which regulate inflammation, blood clotting, and immune responses, the function of the immune system and pretty much everything.

They (fatty acids) are usually classified either based on the length of their carbon chain or based on saturation/whether they have double bonds or not.

The latter categorization leaves us with the two categories you’re probably aware of: saturated and unsaturated.

The first one, creates the following main types:
1. Short-chain fatty acids or SCFAs (they have 2–6 carbon atoms (acetic acid for example has 2 and butyric acid has 4)).
2. Medium-chain fatty acids or MCFAs (they have 6–12 carbon atoms (caprylic acid for example has 8 and lauric acid has 12)).
3. Long-chain fatty acids or LCFAs (they have 13–22 carbon atoms (palmitic acid for example has 16 carbons and oleic acid has 18 carbons)).
4. Very long-chain fatty acids or VLCFAs) (they need to have at least 22 carbon atoms or more (DHA for example has 22)).

Here are the main reasons when it comes to why the average person is sicker than ever and battling issues such as chronic fatigue, brain fog, gut discomfort, skin issues and low libido.

Thread🧵

Number 1: Sedentary lifestyles.

You might personally not struggle with this, but LESS than 25% of Americans walk for more than 10 minutes each week.

This is not a joke and a sedentary lifestyle will have tremendously negative consequences on our health.

A sedentary lifestyle, massively increases the risk of diabetes, all cancers and especially (colorectal, endometrial, ovarian, and prostate cancer), depression, anxiety, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, Alzheimer's, weakens the immune system and in general is corelated and can cause most diseases since we are not meant to sit down all day.

It's unnatural and this is why our mind and body take a hit very fast when we live a sedentary life. We are not meant to sit all day and when this happens all sorts of issues will appear.

Also, if your interest is just health and you don’t want to be great at martial arts or be super jacked, you don’t have to follow a super complicated training split. -3 intense lifting sessions/week (think Upper/Lower/Full)
-1 HIIT/week (or two very short ones)
-Walking and stretching daily
are enough.

Here are some of the things i've learned after testing more than 150 supplements ranging from cheap basic ones such as the ones in the pic below all the way to fancy IVs and peptides.

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

First and foremost, no one should test that many supplements.

It's ridiculous.

I did because i've been having access to them either for free or for a very big discount for a very long time.

I usually test them for 1-2 weeks and give away the rest since most are mid.

But this doesn't mean that you can't or shouldn't learn from my experience as stated.

So here are some lessons i consider worth knowing when it comes to supplements.

If you have no idea what the first steps towards improving your overall health are, this thread is for you.

Do these and you will be ahead of most people when it comes to being healthy🧵 *Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

As you might be able to already tell, this thread was written for the people who are perhaps just starting out their health journey and are a bit confused regarding what they should even do due to information overload.

So i hope that the suggestions that are inside of it, will provide some clarity and help you see results faster.

Let's check them out.

You're probably aware by now that optimizing gut health, is a non-negotiable step for improving any health issue you might want to.

From brain fog, low testosterone, depression, fatigue, ED all the way to skin problems such as acne and eczema.

But most advice is too one dimensional when in reality many mechanisms are involved in the digestive process.

You can dumb it down and think about the components that are within something as simple as a piece of apple, from the fiber, to the nutrients, the sugars and how fascinating it is that how we can extract energy out of this.

Or the B vitamins, iron and amino acids that are in a piece of steak for example and how we can once again, digest and utilize all of these for thousands of processes within our bodies.

We might take these for granted and never really think about them, but it's a truly fascinating process.

So, let's cover some basic concepts that we see people with digestive issues neglect over and over.

Since in my opinion, if you haven't implemented these for a while, most of the more niched approaches don't work in the long run.

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

Number 1: How's your light environment and meal timing look?

The first step towards optimizing any biological process from your digestion all the way to detoxification, is optimizing your circadian rhythm.

This might not come a surprise to you if you've been in this space for a while, but circadian health is still HEAVILY neglected.

The 101 is the following:

Circadian rhythms are 24-hour cycles that are part of the body’s internal clock.

One example, is the sleep-wake cycle, which is influenced and controlled by:
1. A 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, circadian rhythms are greatly affected by certain environmental cues which we will talk about in a second, but the body makes and keeps its own circadian rhythms for lack of a better term.

The main time cue for our central clock is light (light is what greatly regulates cortisol and melatonin) and it is critical to expose yourself first thing in the morning to natural light WITHOUT any glasses, sunglasses or contacts in order to not mess up with the light-sensitive retinal proteins such as melanopsin.📷

Now for our peripheral clocks, food intake will ALSO be a time cue.

This means that the peripheral clocks are affected by light but ALSO by food intake.

After all, the gastric acid secretion follows a circadian pattern and also, the esophageal valve should be closed at night.

Yet how many people you see who consume a tremendous amount of food before going to bed.

The simple habit of eating late at night could easily be one of the main causes for your acid reflux or low transit time.

Now in a nutshell, think of it like this:
Everything that we do in a typical day, from the time we wake up, the first things we do in the morning, the times we eat, the times we workout, our light environment and so on, could either lead to this clock functioning optimally or sub-optimally.

It doesn't really matter who you are, learning how to properly deal and detox from various compounds whether they are called xenoestrogens or heavy metals is a key part of reaching optimal health these days.

Here are some things to consider.
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.

Back in 1900, the average home cooked with just a handful of simple ingredients.

But a P&G’s marketing campaign forever changed this and ruins people's health as a result to this day.

Let me show you where it all began and what you can do about it.

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

It's George and in this thread, we're heading back to 1911.

Back then, a consumer goods corporation you've probably heard of started its own seed oil company and began promoting it.

What is this corporation I'm talking about?
P&G aka Procter and Gamble.

And the seed oil company it launched is called Crisco.

You’ve tried “everything” to resolve your health issues but you've experienced minimum improvements at best.

So what if your chronic health struggles stemmed from gene mutations you’ve never considered and also what if the solution was simpler than you’d think?

A masterclass of a thread🧵

*Make sure to leave a like or a repost if you find it helpful* *Standard disclaimer that nothing in this thread should be used as a substitute for medical advice*

It's George.
Now of course from the get go, let's state that all of us have differences in our DNA by default and thus genetic variations.

But while some of these can be benign, other ones can increase the person’s susceptibility to diseases and conditions ranging from fatigue, trouble focusing, depression and anxiety, all the way to addictive behaviors, CVD and hair loss.

After all, mutations in genes like DRD2 or ANKK1 affect dopamine, ADORA2A affect adenosine receptors, FKB5 affect our stress responses, APOE affect lipid metabolism, COMT affect the break down neurotransmitters like dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine or even mutations in genes such as MTHFR that help process vitamin B9 (which is quite important for fertility, our CNS, heart health (reduced activity elevates homocysteine levels for example) and even detoxification (especially for arsenic)), are more common than someone might think.

In fact, 90-100% of people have at least one SNP that associated with increased risk of health issue.

Here's why multivitamins are a scam and how you can cover the vast majority of your micronutrient needs through food.

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

It's George.

First and foremost let's see why multivitamins are a scam and why you should take your hard earned money and purchase some real food instead.

For starters, realize that the claim for that multivitamins expand lifespan has been debunked for a long time and that you have higher chances of living longer if you are religious (not a joke).

Then, another big problem regarding this is that supplements overall, even though certain ones can be VERY helpful at times, lack transport proteins and all nutrients work synergistically.

For example:
-Selenium, sulfur, iodine, CoQ10, manganese, vitamin E, B2, iron.
-Thiamine, manganese and magnesium.
-B6 and B2.
-Zinc and copper.
-Retinol, DHA, E and B2.
-Vitamin K and retinol.
-Potassium and sodium.
-Choline and B9.
-B5 and K.
-Iron, B2, B12, B9 copper, D, retinol and C.
-Vitamin D, magnesium and retinol.
Etc
