You’re not anxious.

You’re overdosing on your own cortisol.

Here are 9 body-based ways to break the stress loop 🧵

1. Tremoring (aka Neurogenic Shaking)
Modern stress isn’t mental.

It’s chemical.

When cortisol stays elevated for too long, it rewires your brain to expect threat... even when none exists.

Your body becomes the source of your fear.

Here’s how to physically interrupt that loop, and reset your nervous system:

No matter how healthy you eat...

Your body won’t recover if your sleep is off.

Most people overlook the small changes that unlock real rest and full recovery.

So here are 8 that actually work 🧵
1. Keep your bedroom under 19°C

Your core temp must drop ~1°C to fall into deep sleep.

A cool room supports this drop.

In one NIH study, people in 19°C rooms had more stable REM and less waking during the night.

Magnesium glycinate is the most powerful sleep aid no one’s talking about.

One dose calms nighttime anxiety, boosts deep sleep by 30%, and leaves you recharged and clear-headed by morning.

In this thread, I’ll explain how it works and how to use it safely🧵
Magnesium is needed for 300+ enzymatic reactions within your body.

But here’s the real shocker:

Nearly 70% of people are deficient, and most don't know it.

Fatigue, cramps, mood swings, poor sleep?

It might not be burnout... it could actually be a mineral deficiency.

Your brain has a secret detox system that activates when you sleep:

The Glymphatic System.

When clogged, it traps toxins tied to Alzheimer's, brain fog & memory loss.

99% of people don't know it exists.

Here's how to activate it & protect your brain🧵
In 2012, scientists discovered something that stunned the medical world:

The brain has a hidden plumbing system.

One that only activates when you're asleep.

And if it's disrupted?

You slowly and silently start losing clarity, memory, & mental sharpness.

If your blood sugar spikes all day, your fat-burning switch stays off.

Most people stay stuck here for years without realizing it.

So here are 10 ways to reset blood sugar and unlock fat-burning again🧵

1. Start your day with protein, not sugar.
1. Start your day with protein, not sugar

Most people start the day spiking insulin (cereal, toast, or a smoothie).

A high-protein breakfast (30g+) increases GLP-1, stabilizes glucose, and reduces cravings for 24 hours.

Think eggs, not instant oatmeal.

Berberine is the most underrated metabolic enhancer on Earth.

It boosts fat metabolism, balances glucose, and curbs cravings.

I took it daily for 30 days...

What it did for my metabolism and body changed everything🧵:
Berberine is a natural compound found in plants like barberry and goldenseal.

But what’s wild is how well it mimics the effects of metformin (a prescription drug used for Type 2 diabetes).

Yet, it does this naturally.

So how does it work?

Cortisol is more than a stress hormone.

It impacts fat storage, sleep quality, and your ability to focus.

Here are 9 simple ways to lower cortisol and feel like yourself again🧵

1. No caffeine after 2pm.
Caffeine raises cortisol... especially late.

Afternoon coffee delays melatonin, disrupts sleep, and starts a stress spiral.

Rule: no caffeine after 12 or 2PM.

Your sleep and hormones, depend on it.

Most people suck at getting quality sleep.

So I binged every Andrew Huberman podcast on the topic.

What I found?

Andrew Huberman's 7 non-negotiables for deep, high-quality sleep🧵
Sleep isn't optional.

Huberman says it best:

“Sleep is the foundation of mental and physical health.”

Poor sleep hijacks your mood, focus, hormones & even your immune system.

Fix your sleep, and everything gets better.

If your cortisol is stuck high, you’ll never feel truly rested.

Most people stay trapped in this state for years without realizing it.

So here are 9 ways to reset cortisol and reclaim your energy🧵

1. Morning sunlight
Your body wants cortisol high in the morning.

But most people block the signal that makes it happen.

Sunlight hits receptors in your eyes that reset your circadian clock, and tell your brain exactly when to lower cortisol later.

No sunlight = no signal.

Your stress stays stuck “on” all day.

Ashwagandha is nature’s hormone stabilizer.

It reduces cortisol, boosts testosterone, and improves sleep.

But almost no one uses it correctly.

Here's what you need to know (& how to actually get results)🧵
Ashwagandha is an adaptogen.

That means it helps your body respond to physical and psychological stress.

In multiple human trials, it significantly reduced cortisol.

Lower cortisol = less belly fat, anxiety, and burnout.

Cortisol isn’t just making you anxious.

It’s killing your testosterone, storing belly fat, and wrecking your sleep.

Here’s how to shut your stress switch off and reclaim your brain🧵

1. Fix your posture.
Slouched posture keeps your body in fight-or-flight.

Collapsed shoulders and forward head posture compress your vagus nerve and restrict full breathing.

Fix this, and you stop sending “danger” signals to your nervous system all day.

Realign, and let your body calm down.

Cortisol isn't just a stress hormone.

It kills testosterone, fuels stubborn belly fat, and wrecks your sleep.

Here are 9 natural ways to lower your cortisol starting today🧵

1. Cold exposure
Let’s start with a truth most people miss:

Cortisol isn’t the enemy.

It’s excessive, unregulated cortisol that wrecks your brain, sleep, and fat-burning capacity.

Fix that, and your body stops thinking it’s in a war zone.

Let’s get to work:

If your body’s insulin resistant, it won’t burn fat... it’ll store it.

Most people don’t realize blood sugar habits can matter more than macros.

Here are 10 cheat codes to reset insulin and trigger fat-burning again🧵

1. Walk after every meal. Just 10 minutes can slash your glucose spike by 22%.

Why? Your muscles act like sponges, soaking up sugar before insulin has to.

3 short walks a day over 1 intense workout.

What happens when your body is severely deficient in magnesium?

These 8 strange symptoms may shock you.

You won't skip your magnesium glycinate again after reading this:

1/ You get random muscle twitches... 🧵 Why is magnesium so important?

Because magnesium is used in 600+ reactions in the human body.

Yet 50-75% of people are chronically deficient.

Stress, alcohol, poor soil quality, sugar, and caffeine all drain magnesium levels fast...

Watch out for these bizarre symptoms:

You probably think red meat clogs arteries.

But those early 2000s studies grouped rib eyes with hot dogs and called them the same thing.

Here’s the truth about red meat (and why you need more of it)🧵 In 2010, Harvard researchers analyzed 1.2 million people across 20 studies.

They found something shocking: unprocessed red meat showed no clear risk for heart disease or diabetes.

But processed meat increased heart disease risk by 42%.

Testosterone is the fuel for male energy, drive, and strength.

But modern life is killing it... quietly and daily.

Here are 10 science-backed habits to naturally boost your testosterone levels🧵

1. Eat more fat Testosterone is made from cholesterol.

Low-fat diets (under 25% calories) crash hormone levels.

Include eggs, olive oil, avocados, grass-fed butter, fatty fish.

Cortisol isn’t just making you anxious.

It’s killing your testosterone, storing belly fat, and wrecking your sleep.

Those tiny skin tags on your neck & armpits aren’t just ‘cosmetic’...

Your skin is growing things it was never meant to.

Here's what is causing them (and how to get rid of them in 4 steps)🧵
Skin tags look harmless.

Soft. Painless. Common.

But they’re not random.

They’re one of the first visible signs that your body is struggling to regulate blood sugar.

Specifically: your insulin is spiking way too often.

Every person over 35 blames aging for their stiff, aching joints.

Turns out it's not age... it's years of neglect catching up.

Here are 8 simple fixes to rebuild your joints and feel 25 again🧵 By 35, most people feel it:

- Hips ache after sitting
- Knees crack when you stand
- You "warm up" just to walk up stairs

It’s not just soreness.

It’s your body warning you that something’s breaking down.

This rarely gets talked about...

Chronic stress is silently damaging your brain, body, and hormones.

Here are 10 brutal effects (backed by science)🧵

1. Belly fat. Cortisol can increase abdominal fat, even if you’re not overeating.

It reprograms fat storage and makes your body cling to every calorie like it’s a famine.

To your body, this is survival.

If it doesn't feel safe enough, the stubborn fat will linger.

What happens when your body is severely deficient in magnesium?

These 8 bizarre symptoms may shock you.

You might not skip your magnesium glycinate again after reading this:

1/ You feel anxious for no reason... 🧵 Why is magnesium so important?

Because magnesium is used in 600+ reactions in the human body.

Yet 50-75% of people are chronically deficient.
