90% of men are low on testosterone nowadays, and the problem is only getting worse.

But what should we do about it?

This is your FULL GUIDE to TESTOSTERONE - the fundamentals you MUST address to optimize your levels: 1. DIET FOR TESTOSTERONE

Seed oils lower testosterone.

Compared to coconut or olive oil, they:

➜ Lower test producing enzymes
➜ Lower cholesterol in the testicles
➜ Cause testicular oxidative damage

cholesterol in the testicles directly fuels T production.

DHEA: a fountain of youth.

For lowering cortisol, improving cognitive function & mood, vibrant skin and fat loss, it might be just what you need.

Here’s why researchers have called aging “DHEA deficiency syndrome:” DHEA nearly cuts cortisol in half.

Supplemented at 25 mg per day.

DHEA directly acts on the enzyme that produces cortisol and suppresses its production.

With aging and disease, cortisol rises relative to DHEA.

STOP focusing on DHT & finasteride for male pattern baldness ("androgenetic alopecia").

Here's what doctors won't tell you... the REAL PROBLEM BEHIND PATTERN BALDNESS: First off, I would like to say that:

I am NOT

1. bald or have ever been
2. claiming DHT is irrelevant

I AM

1. Claiming we should not FOCUS on lowering testosterone or DHT, and that androgens nor genetics are the TRUE ROOT CAUSE of MPB.
2. Claiming DHT is necessary for male pattern baldness, BUT NOT SUFFICIENT.

To give the androgen - genetic model its credit:

1. There is strong heritability of baldness
2. DHT is higher in balding scalp
3. Stopping DHT can help regrow hair
4. DHT can shrink hair follicles through the androgen receptor
5. Genetic variations in the androgen receptor can drive it
6. People with no androgens are immune from baldness

Seems like an open and shut case, but let's get into why blaming androgens is actually silly.

Getting old sucks. Especially for your brain.

Here are 6 tools to help keep you sharp, your brain young and cognitive decline away: 1. CREATINE

Creatine is therapeutic for cognitive decline.

Those who accumulate the notorious Tau and Beta Amyloid proteins in the brain have impaired creatine metabolism,

but supplying creatine back combats this, protecting neurons and reducing protein accumulation.

The poisons WRECKING your health that your doctor doesn’t want to talk about.

This is the COMPLETE GUIDE to TOXIC HEAVY METALS - how you get exposed, sick, and what to do about it: SOURCES OF HEAVY METAL EXPOSURE:

The main heavy metals of concern are aluminum, nickel, cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury.

Due to pollution and industrialization, these elements that normally reside deep in the earth have been introduced to our environment in unprecedented amounts.

As a result, heavy metals have made their way into damn near every aspect of our modern lives.

● Vegetables - due to soil contamination
● Grains (especially brown rice)
● Canned foods - using metals
● Chocolate (especially dark)
● Pesticides - which incorporate heavy metals
● Seafood (especially larger fish) - as the ocean gets contaminated from pollution
● Vaccines - used as preservatives
● Water
● Medical devices
● Cigarettes / vapes
● The air itself
● Supplements
● Dental devices
● Utensils
● Aluminum foil
● Cookware (+ utensils)
● Drugs
● Jewelry
● Tattoos
● Glassware
● Cars (especially working on engines)
● Batteries
● Wires
● Paint (especially old)
● Piping
● Sewage
● Ceramic
● Gasoline / oil
● Grills/charcoal
● Personal care products
● Cosmetics
● Baking powder
● Food additives

If you work in a lab, with batteries, cars, if you’re a welder, electrician, or any type of manual labor that requires contact with metal, oil, gas, or other industrial processes, chances are you’re getting disproportionately exposed to these.

Grounding can transform your health overnight.

It rapidly resolves inflammation, improves sleep & lowers stress.

These are the BENEFITS of GROUNDING (+ how it works, and how to do it properly): Rapid healing of wounds with grounding.

Wounds that would normally take weeks to heal up can turn around in days with grounding.

Excess inflammation can hinder the healing process - but grounding enhances it.

The 8 MOST IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS for DENTAL health (plus why and how to get enough of each): 1. VITAMIN D

• Promotes calcium absorption
• Allows for production of antimicrobial peptides (kills bacteria + reduces plaque)
• Promotes saliva secretion (antibacterial, anti-plaque)
• Directly aids in enamel and dentin regeneration

The media is LYING about Robert Kennedy Jr. - on fluoride, vaccines, raw milk and more.

They are manipulating us to try to prevent change.

This is how⬇️ NEW YORK TIMES - An article claims RFK was “wrong” about food additives.

They say “the ingredients list is roughly the same.”

This is laughable.

The whole point is that artificial dyes and preservatives ARE the problem.

Bryan Johnson is wrong.

About everything.

This is the FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM with "longevity" protocols (and what to do instead): First off, there is a lot of good to take from Bryan and other people in the "longevity" space's stuff.

Mindset, being more careful with diet, circadian rhythms, focusing on sleep, exercise, self experimentation, prevention.

These are all awesome and I am happy these folks are helping to get more people on board with these interventions.

Second, this is NOT a personal attack on Bryan or anyone else in the longevity space. Genuinely do seem like well intentioned, good people.

I just disagree with the paradigm.

Let's get into it.

ROBERT KENNEDY JR is RIGHT about seed oils,

but the media wants to convince you he is crazy.

Let’s fact check the fact checkers, expose their ridiculous logic and explain why avoiding seed oils is not a “conspiracy theory” ⬇️ I’ll be going through the recent New York Times article on the matter, not to single them out, but as a representative piece - just know that there are tons of these types and they all use the same arguments and tactics. nytimes.com/2024/11/09/wel…

Vitamin K2: the most underappreciated nutrient

One of my absolute favorite supplements. Why?

Vitamin K2 is actually used as a part of mitochondrial metabolism, in a similar manner to that of Coenzyme Q 10.

Due to this it has an INCREDIBLE range of beneficial properties:

1. COGNITIVE

Vitamin K2 can treat depression.

MK-7 improves depression at just 90 ug/day, a pretty puny dose, through its:

◦ Energy producing, pro mitochondria
◦ Hormone mediating
◦ Anxiolytic

properties.

In fact, low levels of Vitamin K nearly DOUBLES the risk of suicide attempt.

K2 reverses anxiety & depression.

These effects are very evident in animals, where the pro-energy effects of K2 bulletproof mental health.

Vitamin K2 reverses aging in the brain.

Giving K2 (MK-7) to old animals (5 mg / kg human equivalent) improved:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Memory

by:

• Improving dopamine output
• Reducing inflammation
• Reducing oxidative stress

In animals subject to stress, it:

‣ Decreased signs of anxiety
‣ Decreased signs of depression

Vitamin K2 exerts neuroprotective effects, as it:

‣ Enhances neuron mitochondrial function
‣ Prevents death of dopamine producing neurons

2. ANDROGENIC

Vitamin K2 boosts testosterone production.

By enhancing key steroidogenic enzymes in the testes, MK-4 enhances the gonadal response to stimulation.

3. INSULIN SENSITIZING

Due to its pro mitochondrial properties, K2 was able to restore blood sugar in response to a bad diet in animals.

Vitamin K2 megadosing improves insulin sensitivity in humans.

One study showed that 90 mg of K2 daily (MK-4) reduced insulin secretion to maintain blood sugar.

Another study confirmed Vitamin K2 megadosing markedly improves insulin resistance.

30 mg/day of MK-4 for 4 weeks enhanced glucose metabolism.

K2 evokes biochemical modifications to proteins that improve hormonal functioning & metabolism.

Low dose vitamin K2 reverses fatty liver disease in animals.

Less than 1 mg human equivalent dose MK-7 daily completely protects and regenerates the liver.

High liver enzymes (ALT, AST, GGT, ALP) are the red flag - would consider supplementation.

4. GUT HEALTH

One of my personal favorites for the gut, working on fundamental pathways to enhance digestion.

K2 is

⬨ Antibacterial
⬨ Anti-inflammatory
⬨ Key for intestinal cell function

I use anywhere from 20-40 mg of MK-4 situationally and have had success with clients in this range.

Animals given Crohn's disease, when also given Vitamin K2 (MK-4) (2.5 mg/kg human equivalent):

• Repaired gut damage and barrier
• Lowered inflammation
• Increased mucus production

comparable to the leading drug for IBD (ASA).

5. DENTAL HEALTH

K2 status is inversely related to:

⬩Severity of gum inflammation
⬩Plaque index
⬩Bleeding
⬩Depth of tooth pocket

Literally every dental clinical parameter.

K2 is a cornerstone of calcium metabolism, allowing for minerals to accumulate in bones and teeth properly and regenerate.

This is a huge reason why Weston Price never saw tooth decay in societies focusing on fat soluble vitamins!

K2 as MK-4 is found mainly in hard cheeses, egg yolks and beef liver.

As MK-7 it is found in the fermented Natto.

However, these therapeutic applications require higher amounts than you would otherwise get in food.

Both can be massively beneficial to supplement in doses higher than what you can get from food.

I use it all the time personally and with clients.

I’ll link the brand below. This is my preferred MK-4 source. healthnatura.com/true-k2-mk4-1-…

If you feel puffy, have “cortisol face,” are congested and feel like your body needs a reset, look no further.

You’re probably filled up with fluid that won’t leave until you address this.

Let’s talk about the LYMPH STAGNATION - why it is harmful & how to fix it: The purpose of the lymphatic system:

Your blood vessels deliver nutrients to your tissues around your body from your heart.

Lymphatic vessels take the “waste” from your tissues, filter it, and bring it back to the heart.

Wherever there is blood flow, there is lymph flow back.

Orange juice is literally one of the healthiest foods on the planet.

It has proven antidepressant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and gut health promoting properties.

Don’t believe me? Let’s get into it: Orange juice has potent anti-inflammatory effects.

A McDonald’s meal causes inflammation from gut bacteria (endotoxin),

but having OJ with it:

- ELIMINATES increase in bacterial endotoxin
- Prevents inflammatory response.

Water could worsen the effects, but OJ halted them.

If you want high energy, pleasure, motivation and vivid dreams, you want more DOPAMINE.

Here is the FULL COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE on optimizing it with nutrition & lifestyle.

(bookmark this one, it’s long): NUTRIENTS FOR DOPAMINE SYNTHESIS.

This is the synthesis pathway for dopamine.

➜ TYROSINE (animal protein)
➜ IRON (red meat, eggs)
➜ Vitamin C (fruits, juices)
➜ Vitamin B6 (animal protein)

Are your fundamentals for raw material.

Show this to your vegan friends.

Here are 7 animal food nutrients you haven't heard of,

+ what makes them so good for our health: 1. CREATINE

Creatine is an essential substrate in energy metabolism, mainly in the muscles and brain.

Lowest intakes of creatine DOUBLE the risk of depression.

Salt has been demonized for the last 50 years,

but eating more salt can lower stress, improve metabolic health and might even make you live longer.

Here are the BENEFITS of SALT (Thread): Salt intake predicts longevity.

The dotted lines are the daily recommended amounts of sodium

which are associated with the lowest health and lifespan.

Doubling or tripling the recommendations is associated with increased lifespan and healthspan.

VITAMIN C:

⇨ Anti-cancer
⇨ Lowers stress
⇨ Renews skin
⇨ Improves sex life
⇨ Enhances energy & motivation
⇨ Crushes anxiety
⇨ Reduces sickness

& more.

Let's talk about the benefits of it, how to get enough and supplementation.

THREAD: When Vitamin C stopped cancer.

Patients with terminal cancer given ~10 g vitamin C per day had drastically improved survival compared with controls.

Vitamin C is one of our principle antioxidants, which often becomes depleted in cancer.

Literally a handful of these a day can:

𓋼 Prevent cancer by nearly 50%
𓋼 Prevent cognitive decline by 75%
𓋼 Boost mood
𓋼 Restore digestive health
𓋼 Increase lifespan

& more.

Let's talk about the incredible benefits of EDIBLE MUSHROOMS (no not the tripping kind).

THREAD: Common mushrooms prevent cancer.

The white button mushroom was able to reduce:

· Tumor weight
· Cancer proliferation

while promoting cancer cell death.

They contain various compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory & immune regulatory ability.

50% of people are deficient in this vitamin.

It heals the gut, grows the brain, can boost testosterone and gives us glowing skin.

These are the miraculous benefits of VITAMIN A, plus how to make sure you get enough.

THREAD: Vitamin A is HIGHLY therapeutic for inflammatory bowel disease.

25,000 IU / d:

⬩Reduced severe disease by over HALF
⬩3-4X'd gut healing

in ulcerative colitis.

Vitamin A supports gut immunity and lowers serotonin,

both of which are dysregulated in gut inflammation.
