You “die” when your heart stops beating.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death, more than all forms of cancer and accidents.

Here are 3 simple fixes to make your heart 20 years younger naturally:

Problem 1: Blood vessels harden Image As you age, blood vessels stiffen.

This slowly increases blood pressure and heart strain, entering a vicious cycle.

Smoking, sugar, and stress further accelerate this process.

The ultimate goal: Keep your arteries elastic and young.

Here’s everything you need to know (& how 6 ways to fix it naturally):

Everyone thinks burning fat is “calories in, calories out.”

But you can’t lose belly fat if your hormones are chronically elevated.

Here's how to burn fat correctly (according to science):

1. Stop spending so much time on cardio Chronic cardio doesn’t burn fat.

Overtraining impairs thyroid and metabolism.

It raises cortisol, breaks down muscle, and makes your body store fat long-term.

Diet accounts for ~80% of fat loss outcomes.

If you must do cardio…

Health Myth #1: Sitting is killing you

Not exactly…
Hunter-gatherers sit just as much as modern people.

The difference is that they get up every 10–15 minutes.

Sitting isn’t the issue; uninterrupted stillness for way too long is. Health Myth #2: You need 8 hours of sleep

Most traditional cultures don’t sleep 8 hours.

Lieberman and his colleagues tracked people with no phones, no electricity, no alarms through the centuries.

6-7 hours per night and naps.
So, where did 8 hours come from? Check Video👇

Insulin controls whether you burn fat or store it.

If you’re insulin resistant, your hormones go crazy, aging accelerates, and you gain weight no matter what you do.

Here’s how to reset insulin (so you "trigger" fat-burning again)🧵: Why insulin resistance means you can't lose fat:

Insulin blocks lipolysis.

That means, as long as insulin is high, fat can’t be mobilized, no matter what diet or exercise you do.

You can be in a calorie deficit, but still not burn fat if you are insulin-resistant.

You don't have a belly fat problem.

You have an insulin problem.

Insulin resistance stops your body from burning fat, no matter what you eat & how much you exercise.

Here’s how to reset insulin (& 5 methods to burn fat again): 🧵 Insulin is a storage hormone.

When you eat, insulin helps shuttle glucose into:
• Muscle (glycogen)
• Liver (limited storage)
• Fat cells (long-term)

In insulin resistance, your cells become numb to insulin’s signal.

You end up always tired, hungry, and in fat storage mode.

– Impairs glucose transport (diabetes)
