It supports detox, reduces inflammation, and accelerates skin and hair healing.

Yet most people ignore it.

Your grandfather had 25% more testosterone than you do.

Not because he was stronger.
Not because he trained harder.
But because the modern world is draining your T.

Here’s how Japan quietly cracked the code—and what they eat to fix it: 🧵 1. Testosterone is crashing.

Modern men have 25% less T than men just two decades ago.

And the drop isn’t slowing down—it’s accelerating.

The scary part?
This affects all age groups, even teens.

You’ve been lied to about what’s “healthy.”

The foods you’ve been told to fear…
Are actually the ones that rebuild hormones, energy, and metabolism, especially after 40.

Here are 9 foods I do recommend.

Thread 🧵 1. Eggs

Eggs are a metabolic powerhouse.
Especially the yolk.

• Fuel hormones via cholesterol + vitamin D
• Boost liver function (choline)
• Help with fat loss + satiety

I eat 3–5 every single day.

Most people are doing everything to lose fat.

But their biology is working against them.

Here are 9 underrated ways to reprogram your body for fat loss, energy, and peak performance: 🧵 1. Rewire your brain’s control system

Your brain runs on 2 key messengers:
GABA (the brake) & Glutamate (the gas).

When balanced, they improve mood, sleep, and focus.

When imbalanced, they lead to anxiety, brain fog, and poor energy.

"Cholesterol is bad" is one of the biggest medical myths.

The truth?

Your body depends on cholesterol to survive — and too little of it might be far more dangerous than too much.

Your body needs it to function.
Too little cholesterol can lead to:

• Cancer risk
• Hormone imbalances
• Impaired brain function
• Higher chance of early death

There’s one supplement I recommend to every man.

- It builds muscle.
- Sharpens your brain.
- Boosts testosterone.
- Costs ~$20.

And yet—most men still skip it.

Here’s why creatine is the most underrated tool in men’s health 🧵 1. What is creatine (& why you likely don’t get enough)?

Creatine is made in your body & found in red meat.

But most men only fill 60–80% of their muscles’ creatine stores.

That means:
→ Slower recovery
→ Lower strength
→ Less lean muscle gain

Top it off = better results.

Gout pain is brutal.

Most advice? Outdated, incomplete, and missing key truths.

Here’s your blueprint to naturally reverse gout — not just mask the pain.

This thread could save your joints and kidneys: 🧵 1. Gout isn’t just “joint pain.”

It’s sharp uric acid crystals stabbing your joints from the inside.

This happens when uric acid builds up in the blood (hyperuricemia).

The result: extreme swelling, heat, and unbearable pain.

From sugar burner to fat burner.

Most people feel tired, foggy & gain weight—because their metabolic switch is stuck on “sugar.”

Here’s how to flip it—and retrain your body to burn fat instead 🧵 1. Your metabolism was built to switch between burning sugar and fat.

Let’s flip that metabolic switch.

But 90% are training them wrong.

If you want sleeves that stretch like Arnold’s, stop guessing.

Here’s the science-backed formula for building massive arms — fast: 🧵 1. Form builds size — not ego

Most guys lift with sloppy form.

But real growth happens when every rep is:
• Controlled
• Full range of motion
• Squeezed at the top

Half reps = half results.

Most people think Vitamin D₃ is just for bones.

But it acts more like a hormone than a vitamin.

It boosts testosterone, builds muscle, and even works like a steroid.

It:
✅ Boosts testosterone
✅ Lowers cortisol

It’s not a breakthrough—it’s a rebrand.

GLP-1 drugs have been used for years in diabetes care.

It only became a household name when the weight loss hype (and celebrity use) exploded.

The Great Sugar Cover-Up

Big Sugar paid scientists to blame fat—not sugar—for heart disease.

Millions died because of it.

Here’s how they manipulated America’s health since 1965 (and how to protect yourself): 🧵 1. In 1967, one study exposed sugar as the real cause of heart disease & diabetes.
But that truth was buried.

Why?

Because it threatened profits.

So Big Sugar paid 3 Harvard scientists to rewrite the narrative.
