Everyone talks about caffeine & Adderall

But no one talks about Lion’s Mane, one of nature’s most studied nootropics with 200+ research papers (& 8+ benefits).

Here are 8 of them + how to avoid the fake versions 🧵

1. Regenerates damaged nerves First, what is Lion's Mane?

A powerful nootropic used for 2,000+ years in Chinese medicine.

It's one of the rare 1-in-3 million mushrooms with proven effects on the human brain:

You drink coffee like a junkie.

About 1 in 2 Americans report crashes, racing heartbeat and anxiety from bad caffeine habits.

Here are 6 of them & how to fix them (science-backed):🧵

1. Drinking coffee after waking up Your cortisol peaks 30-45 minutes after you wake up.

Adding caffeine creates a hormone storm that overstimulates your stress response.

You're literally programming yourself for burnout:

They call it nature's multivitamin:

Shilajit

A 3,000-year-old substance that boosts testosterone, helps fight Type 2 diabetes & contains 85+ minerals.

Here's how it works & how I avoid the fake, toxic ones: 🧵 First, what is Shilajit?

It’s a sticky resin from the Himalayas, packed with bioactive minerals and used for 3,000+ years.

But most products on the market are fake or contaminated.

(We'll break down the purest form to use later in the thread):

Beetroot is nature’s performance drug.

300+ studies show it can lower blood pressure in just 90 minutes, improve erectile function (in 2–6 weeks) & muscle inflammation.

Here are 6 more insane benefits & how I use it (based on science):🧵 Your body produces a molecule called nitric oxide.

It controls blood flow, oxygen transport, and energy production at the cellular level.

Without it, your muscles starve, your brain fogs, and your heart struggles:

Sleep is the strongest medicine on Earth.

It burns visceral fat, repairs DNA damage & produces new brain cells.

Here are 8 evidence-based strategies that improve your sleep & energy levels:

It doesn't fix cortisol spikes, blue light exposure, or blood sugar crashes.

It's a weak signal, not a real solution:

Fat loss is the easiest thing on Earth.

They made you think it was complicated to sell you programs & endless diets.

Here are 8 evidence-based hacks I used to drop 20lbs in 65 days (based on my experience): 🧵

1. Stopped doing endless cardio Cardio doesn’t burn fat.

It teaches your body to conserve it.
You burn calories during the workout…

But over time, your metabolism adapts:
• Lower thyroid output
• Lower testosterone
• Muscle loss

Fewer calories burned at rest = Fat loss stalls or reverses:

2 out of 3 Americans have poor sleep quality.

The result? Brain fog, FAT gain, low testosterone & increased disease risk.

Here are 9 science-backed foods to optimize it naturally: 🧵

The result? Poor circulation, high blood pressure, low energy & erectile dysfunction.

Here are 9 science-backed foods to boost it naturally: 🧵

1. Beetroots First, know what Nitric Oxide really is.

It’s a natural molecule your body makes to relax blood vessels, boost blood flow, and push more oxygen where it’s needed.

Your body ''dies'' without Nitric Oxide.

It’s the molecule that restores blood flow to ''dying tissue'', brain function & controls erections.

By 30, you’ve lost nearly 40% of it (& it won’t come back on its own)

Here’s what it does & how to restore it naturally: First, know what Nitric Oxide really is.

It’s a natural molecule your body makes to relax blood vessels, boost blood flow, and push more oxygen where it’s needed.

2 out of 3 Americans are magnesium deficient.

The result? More stress, poor sleep, low mood & slow muscle recovery.

Here are 9 science-backed foods to boost your magnesium:🧵

1. Pumpkin seeds When you eat pumpkin seeds, magnesium is absorbed in your small intestine.

Eating them regularly can help:
• Improve sleep

Men without testosterone are invisible.

So was I—no sex drive, no confidence & stuck with extra fat.

Here are 8 things I did to naturally boost my testosterone in 90 days (based on my experience): 🧵

1. I stopped overtraining Too much exercise = chronically elevated cortisol.
Cortisol crushes testosterone.

Most guys train like athletes but recover like amateurs:
• 5–6 workouts/week
• Poor sleep

Testosterone tanks:

Chronic stress destroyed 2 years of my life.

Constant anxiety, zero energy, brain fog so thick I felt braindead.

Here are the 7 habits that saved me (no meds, no pills):

Then my heart rate exploded to 160+ & landed me in the ER...

Here are the 8 daily habits that saved my sanity (steal them): 1. Lift weights 3–4x/week

Lifting triggers a powerful stress-killing cascade in your body.

It burns off cortisol, spikes testosterone & growth hormone, and floods your brain with BDNF↓

→The protein that sharpens focus and controls emotions.

Plus it forces total body engagement, fixes insulin sensitivity & rebuilds your mitochondria from the ground up.

Unstrategic cardio is the worst way to lose fat.

It’ll only make you hungrier, burn your muscle, and make you fatter over time.

Here’s the only protocol you need to drop excess weight by summer (without ever stepping on a treadmill):🧵 You’ve probably been doing it for years…

Wrong.

The most common types show up as pink bumps, dry patches, or sores that don’t heal.
