Your brain accumulates waste that makes you tired and ends up giving you dementia.
Luckily, these 7 techniques enhance its clearance to help keep your mind sharp.
#1 Sleeping on your side
Side sleeping helps by:
◇ Allowing gravity to help move cerebrospinal fluid
◇ Reducing intracranial pressure
◇ Improving blood flow through the neck and head
This stimulates the clearance of the glymphatic system

READ THIS IF YOU ARE ALWAYS TIRED (no matter how much you rest).
It's not in your head. It's not normal, but it is fixable.
Let's talk about what causes FATIGUE + TIREDNESS, and what you can do about it to have flying energy levels for life:
Mitochondria are the engines of your cells, and thus your body.
They take food and oxygen, and convert it into usable energy.
If they aren't working optimally, your “battery” never charges.
Focusing on them is thus the key to solving low energy, so that is what we will do:

CAFFEINE is so much more than a stimulant.
It's actually one of the most powerful anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective tools known to man, yet it's been demonized.
The TRUTH about caffeine will blow your mind:
Caffeine boosts metabolism by up to 30%.
A single 100 mg dose can raise energy expenditure for hours.
Not just a stimulant.
This effect is highest if you have it with food.
Caffeine fundamentally improves the way we produce energy in our mitochondria.

This stuff is borderline magical.
The benefits are seemingly endless - it sheds fat, anti-inflammatory, cognitive enhancing, antimicrobial.
Wanna hear about MORE of the unbelievable benefits & research of COCONUT OIL? Of course you do, let's get into it:
(called VitroCap N)
People taking this supplement had a near 50% improvement in subjective visual discomfort from eye floaters
And they also had a measurable decrease (~50%) in the amount of their eyes that were gummed up by floaters compared to those that didn’t take it.
Eye floaters disappear within 3 months of taking fruit enzymes.
The enzymes contained in pineapple, papaya and fig:
⬩190 mg bromelain
⬩95 mg papain
⬩95 mg ficin
Literally dissolve the floaters away.
After 3 months of eye floater treatment, people who these fruit enzymes:
⬩92% felt “bright”
⬩90% felt better or much better
⬩92% were satisfied
When prior,
⬩80% felt their floaters were very severe
⬩78% had difficulty performing daily activities
Incredible.
Here is a visualization of what the fruit enzymes did.
You don’t need to just live with eye floaters.
Now you may be thinking, that’s great, but can I just eat fruit to get rid of my eye floaters?
Well,
After 3 months of eating 2 pieces of pineapple with lunch
Over 70% of people had reductions in floaters.
Insanity.
IODINE (eye drops) nearly cures eye floaters:
Over 95% of people with floaters saw improvement, regardless of how severe the floaters were.
Unfortunately they do not mention the exact type of iodine eye drop, but this is incredible!
(yes, it’s all in Polish, I translated it)
Nattokinase also eliminates eye floaters.
Studies showed that when injected into the eyes (ouch) of animals, it again breaks down the floaters.
No follow up in people, but given the fact that the fruit enzymes work orally, I wouldn’t be surprised if nattokinase can do the same.
Infrared lasers eradicate eye floaters.
This has been extensively studied, in fact it's the standard treatment right now.
What’s a free way of getting infrared light to your eyes?
That’s right, sunlight!
This is probably a big reason why studies consistently show outdoor time is related to better vision.
What causes eye floaters?
Most of the eye is composed of collagenous protein and carbohydrates (the vitreous body).
That’s why eyes are like jello, they kind of are, jello is just collagen protein in water.
The floaters themselves are detached, broken bits of the vitreous body.
What damages this jello like eye stuff, that causes eye floaters?
Oxidative stress.
The vitreous body is filled with antioxidants to protect it from this.
The most important is VITAMIN C - extremely concentrated in the vitreous body, more so than anywhere else in the body.
But what is the source of the oxidation that causes the vitreous body to degrade, resulting in eye floaters?
The OXYGEN comes from the retina - what actually facilitates vision.
If the eyes do not metabolize the oxygen, it leaks into the vitreous body, resulting in oxidation.
What impairs the metabolism of the eye that results in this oxidation, that ultimately causes eye floaters?
One big one is BLUE LIGHT.
It literally destroys the mitochondria of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Good thing we’re all in blue light and staring at screens 24/7!
I use blue blockers whenever doing lots of computer work, and at night, it’s almost a necessity nowadays.
It sucks, but the cheap ones don’t really do anything, so beware.
I use EMR-Tek, you can get a 15% discount below.
What else helps with eyeball metabolism and thus eye floaters?
You can destroy the retina with a mitochondrial toxin, and this reduces the metabolism in the eye.
Methylene blue can reverse it, preserving the eyes.
(Will link relevant content on MB below)
The eyes are highly dependent on GLUCOSE aka carbohydrate.
INSULIN actually enhances glucose metabolism in the eyes
And thus it prevents the death of the rods & cones that facilitate vision.
The metabolism in the eye is highly dependent on derivatives of vitamin B3.
In fact, giving eyes a metabolite of B3 (NMN):
⬩Restores metabolism in the eye
⬩Prevents oxidative stress
⬩COMPLETELY prevents death of retinal cells
A visual powerhouse!
It has been shown for over half a century that deficiency in vitamin A destroys vision.
Vitamin A is what ends up absorbing all of the light and allows us to SEE.
Not enough vitamin A and the whole eye comes crumbling down.
(more on vitamin A below)
Pharma companies are in the process of targeting metabolism to treat various visual diseases.
One of the ways they are doing this is by lowering INFLAMMATION.
The key sources of systemic inflammation in the body are:
Some other vital factors that support the antioxidant system in the eyes:
⬩Protein, especially glycine for glutathione
⬩Copper
⬩Manganese
⬩Keeping iron in balance - excess can lead to oxidative stress.
⬩VITAMIN B2
⬩ZINC
⬩SELENIUM
⬩TAURINE

Cancer is a metabolic / mitochondrial disease.
Here's how it is the root cause, and what I would do if I had cancer:
(NOT MEDICAL ADVICE)
A key idea here is that most cancer “treatment” is just killing cells indiscriminately.
My approach would be root cause oriented - focusing on metabolism at the core.
The Warburg Effect is the propensity for cancer cells to metabolize glucose (carbs) into lactate,
instead of fully oxidizing it to produce energy or for other purposes.
Excess lactate production:
⬩Increases immunosuppression
⬩Drives inflammation
⬩Increases acidity in the tumor
All main drivers of cancer.
When you restrict carbs, levels of free fatty acids rise - the fat comes out of your fat tissue and into the blood.
Free fatty acids directly block the full oxidation of glucose and instead encourage the formation of lactic acid.
Free fatty acids (FFA) are high in cancer.
Copper is an essential mitochondrial nutrient, and its levels directly influence the differentiation of cells.
In other words, without sufficient energy production, your cells will not be able to turn into the right types of cells.
They will instead turn into cancer cells.
Thiamine and vitamin B1 analogues have shown promise as an anti-cancer tool in animals, as it corrects this metabolism by supporting the conversion of glucose away from lactic acid.
Warburg found that restricting B1 could induce cancer.
Methylene blue can also reverse the Warburg effect, and was shown to improve brain cancer.
Thyroid hormone is incredibly important here as it accelerates the entire metabolic chain, and recently was shown to transform cancer cells back into healthy cells.
CoQ10 is an important part of the mitochondria too.
It is often low in people with cancer.
Supplementation reverses the Warburg effect, correcting metabolism and improving cancer.
Vitamin K2 also is important in the mitochondria, and reverses the Warburg effect (cancer metabolism).
It also has shown anti-cancer promise.
Coffee & thyroid hormone are also uncouplers - compounds that allow the mitochondria to keep churning through energy by releasing heat.
Uncouplers were recently shown to reverse the Warburg effect & improve cancer.
These metabolic processes are intertwined with several other features of cancer:
One huge issue with inflammation in cancer is that it directly activates the adrenal axis, in other words STRESS or cortisol.
This is a self enforcing system, as stress hormones break down our tissues - driving an immune reaction (inflammation).
Stress also contributes to cancer by:
• Increasing free fatty acids (will explain later)
• Catabolizing muscle - which drives a lot of cancer death
• Suppressing immunity
Some anti-stress measures I would consider:
• Pregnenolone
• Progesterone
• Magnesium
• Plenty of carbohydrate, calories, salt
Again, I have a stress masterclass below that I'll link if you want to lower stress by all means necessary.
3. Immune suppression
Seemingly paradoxically, inflammation can be high while immunity is low.
The immune system is vital for clearing out cancerous cells.
But when the immune system is suppressed, cancer flourishes.
Most important immune supportive nutrients:
• Vitamin A
• Zinc
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin D
These nutrients support the proliferation & differentiation of immune cells.
These are also vital for the cancer-killing properties of immune cells.
High dose Vitamin C has been shown to drastically improve cancer outcomes in humans.
High Vitamin D levels are consistently tied to better cancer outcomes.
I would support immunity and bolster my chances.
4. Oxidative stress
Besides exogenous cancer causing chemicals, our bodies produce free radicals (ROS),
which can damage our DNA and spark the cancer process.
This oxidative stress also drives inflammation & growth.
The most important antioxidant supporting nutrients:
• E
• C
• Glycine
• B2
• Zinc
• Copper
• Selenium
• Carnosine
• Iron
I would also utilize foods like fruit (juice), honey, mushrooms and coffee for their antioxidant properties.
Another KEY driver of oxidative stress is excess iron.
While we certainly need iron, we can also easily get too much of it, or mishandle it in the body.
Iron can “rust” & drive oxidative stress.
Iron chelators are often protective against cancer experimentally.
The best way to lower iron is to give blood.
I've written about the cancer preventative properties of blood donation previously, which I'll link below.
IP6, or phytic acid, is found in grains or as a supplement and also chelates iron.
Lactoferrin is a personal favorite of mine, binding up excess iron and preventing inflammation and oxidative stress.
5. Growth hormones
We have some hormones that drive growth, that, when chronically elevated, are liable to cause cancer.
• Insulin
• Estrogen
Are two of the primary ones.
Insulin becomes elevated chronically with insulin resistance, which I've written about at length. I'll post that in the replies below.
Estrogen is a group of chemicals, well known to induce growth.
Many endocrine disruptors in things like:
• Plastic
• Drugs
• Personal care products
• Cooking materials
• Clothes
& more are estrogenic, and can cause cancer.
Estrogens are also produced by the fat tissue.
Inflammation & obesity increase aromatase activity, meaning you produce more estrogen.
Limiting seed oils would be vital since they drive obesity + inflammation.
Vitamin E prevents some of the inflammation and is anti-estrogenic.
Tools to lower / oppose estrogen:
‣ Saturated fat
‣ Vitamin A
‣ Vitamin D
‣ Vitamin E
‣ Progesterone
‣ Aspirin
‣ Vitamin B2
‣ White button mushrooms
‣ Insoluble fiber (raw carrot)
‣ Naringin, naringenin, apigenin (citrus fruits)
The gut is also a driver of high estrogen.
‣ Serotonin, released during gut inflammation, stimulates aromatase
‣ Estrogens are excreted through the gut, bacteria can re-activate estrogen
Estrogen excretion can be enhanced with insoluble fiber or activated charcoal.
The primary anti-estrogenic hormone is progesterone.
Progesterone prevents cancer, while synthetic progestins, which are estrogenic, can cause it.
Natural progesterone decreases risk by over 20%.
Breast and colon cancer risk significantly drop.
I'll link my writing on progesterone below.
6. Epigenetics
Basically, this is the chemical & reversible modification of your genes.
It's especially important in cancer as many of these genes control metabolism, immunity, growth & proliferation.
DNA is over-methylated, & the histones that DNA is wrapped in are under-acetylated in cancer.
These dampen the expression of genes: some regulate growth, others necessary for differentiation.
If you can’t express your genes properly, you won’t become you.
You will get cancer.
Acetylation "opens up" the genes to be used, methylation prevents the DNA from being used.
Some anti-cancer drugs are histone deacetylase inhibitors - which keep acetyl groups on these proteins,
and DNA methyltransferase inhibitors - prevents the methylation of DNA.
I would try to pump up my acetylation and tone down my methylation of genes.
Vinegar would be a top prospect to use as an acetylating agent, since it is largely acetic acid, and has been shown to acetylate histones when taken orally.
Consequently, it has anti-cancer properties and promotes differentiation.
I'll link my post on how vinegar works in this regard below.
Excess methyl groups come from the amino acid METHIONINE - which is high in muscle meat but low in collagen.
Methionine restriction in the diet has been studied as an effective tool for cancer.
Collagen also has lots of glycine.
Glycine is the body's way of buffering excess methylation.
So I would definitely be having bone broths, collagenous meats like oxtail and shanks, very regularly.
As it turns out, glycine has anti-cancer properties as well.
When metabolism is not working properly, it actually drives the epigenetic changes seen in cancer.
For example, when mitochondrial function is poor cells produce a compound called 2-hydroxyglutarate.
This compound directly drives hypermethylation / hypoacetylation.
7. Acidity
The pH of tumors is well known to be acidic.
This acidity drives inflammation & suppresses anti-tumor immunity, and contributes to insulin resistance.
The higher acidity of the tumor, the more liable it is to spread and kill you.
To combat acidity, yes, I would use baking soda.
Animal studies have shown that oral baking soda inhibits acidity in tumors and its subsequent metastasis.
I might even take some baking soda baths.
I'll link to more on baking soda below.
8. Hypoxia
This is the poor oxygen delivery in tumors.
The principle determinant of oxygen delivery is actually the amount of carbon dioxide in your body.
It displaces oxygen and gives it up to your cells.
CO2 therapies can be anti-cancer.
Ways to increase CO2 I would consider:
⬩CO2 Baths / tank
⬩Bag breathing
⬩Vitamin B1
⬩Eating enough carbs (produces more CO2)
GREY HAIR isn't inevitable, it's a sign of aging that you can prevent or even reverse.
The science of what causes it, and what you might be able to do to about it:
Hair is gets its color from MELANIN - a chemical pigment our bodies produce.
No matter what your hair color is, some form of melanin is going to give it that color.
The process of creating melanin starts with the dietary amino acid TYROSINE.
The conversion of tyrosine into the forms of melanin requires:
➡ Tyrosine
➡ Copper
➡ Zinc
➡ Iron
➡ Vitamin C
➡ Vitamin B9
If you are low on ANY of these, you are likely to get grey hair.

One of the healthiest foods you can incorporate into your diet.
Its rich medicinal properties protect against inflammation, depression, heart disease and even cancer.
Let's talk about the benefits of EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL:
Olive oil prevents diabetes by 40%.
A large study found that the "Mediterranean diet" was healthy in a variety of ways, but this was largely due to the olive oil in the diet.
Without the olive oil, there was no protective effect against diabetes.

HEAVY METALS - the complete guide on 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.
HEAVY METAL TOXICITY SIGNS / SYMPTOMS:
These poisons have such a fundamental way of disrupting normal biology / biochemistry that they can impact nearly every aspect of health.
◍ Mental / cognitive health
◍ Fat gain
◍ Hormonal disruptions
◍ Liver problems
◍ Cancer
◍ Gut issues - IBS, IBDs
◍ Respiratory issues
◍ Fatigue
◍ Kidney problems
◍ Heart diseases
MECHANISMS OF HEAVY METAL TOXICITY.
While metals can be toxic, our body NEEDS certain metals, or minerals.
Zinc, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, etc. etc.
These are essential elements that are intertwined, literally, with every fiber of our being.
Toxic heavy metals use this property, essentially “hacking” the role of many of these nutrients, due to their chemical similarity.
As a result, they:
◍ Bind to native proteins and enzymes
◍ Deplete antioxidants
◍ Cause oxidative stress
◍ Drive inflammation
◍ Increase intracellular calcium
◍ Impair mitochondrial function
However, while this property creates their toxicity, it also leads to the most logical way to deal with them - by “outnourishing” them.
Many of our essential minerals have built in ways of protecting us from heavy metals.
◍ Iron deficiency increases lead and cadmium absorption
◍ Iron also mitigates arsenic toxicity
◍ Calcium deficiency increases lead absorption and impairs excretion.
◍ Zinc stimulates the production of metallothionein, which binds heavy metals
◍ Selenium protects against mercury toxicity
MOLYBDENUM is a little known nutrient that literally prevents death from mercury poisoning.
Research has shown that giving molybdenum alongside mercury completely prevented death from an otherwise completely lethal mercury treatment.
Molybdenum also helps increase the excretion of heavy metals.
Molybdenum has shown protection against lead poisoning, too.
Lead can be incredibly dangerous by replacing iron and inhibiting red blood cell formation, which we need to breathe and survive.
Molybdenum prevents that.
Molybdenum is most abundant in liver, as well as grains and beans, plus cottage cheese.
Supplementing during heavy metal toxicity can have benefits.
Selenium markedly improves mercury toxicity & increases its excretion.
Mercury interacts with selenium dependent proteins, causing oxidative damage.
Supplementing selenium binds to mercury and supports its elimination, while preventing oxidative stress.
Selenium is in brazil nuts, beef, organ meats and more.
One study showed that a zinc & selenium combination mitigate heavy metal toxicity.
A mixture of various toxic heavy metals was combatted by supplementing zinc+selenium:
• Restores antioxidant enzymes
• Lowers inflammation
• Prevents cell death, tissue damage
• Lowers absorption of heavy metals
A study in battery workers found that zinc + vitamin C powerfully reduces heavy metals in the body.
‣ Both prevent absorption of lead, cadmium, etc
‣ Zinc directly promotes their excretion by producing metallothionein
‣ Both critical for antioxidant protection against them
Trace minerals are some of our best protection.
Aluminum is known to induce Alzheimer's plaques, but Vitamin E reverses it.
Aluminum is higher in neurodegenerative conditions in the brain - causing oxidative damage and cognitive decline.
Vitamin E is one of our primary protectors.
Another paper demonstrated that vitamin E + selenium mitigate mercury poisoning.
Due to their therapeutic effect on oxidative stress, they are able to prolong survival during mercury exposure.
Magnesium also improves lead toxicity & enhances its excretion.
Lead likes to accumulate in the bones and become a slow poison over time, but ample magnesium can mitigate this.
Magnesium supplementation is a no brainer for most, especially during heavy metal overload.
Silicon is a mineral that lowers aluminum in tissues.
➢ Brain
➢ Liver
➢ Bone
➢ Spleen
➢ Kidney
all have drastically reduced aluminum content when enough of this mineral are included in the diet.
Prevents aluminum absorption and improves excretion.
Thiamine (vitamin B1) can lower lead stores in the body.
B1 binds lead and prevents it from being locked up in tissues where it can cause toxicity.
Something important to remember is that heavy metals get excreted in large part through the feces.
That means if your gut is slow or not functioning well, you're going to have a tough time getting it all out - sorting out gut health is going to be VITAL.
Some things that aid in the binding and excretion of heavy metals through the gut:
There are also chemical chelators of heavy metals.
◈ DMSA
◈ ALA
◈ EDTA
and others.
I would exert EXTREME CAUTION if trying to go this route, since these can take metals and redistribute them into different tissues.
Done properly, it can be helpful, but doing it properly is very difficult.
TESTING FOR HEAVY METALS:
Blood testing is considered the gold standard, and is more reflective of recent exposure.
Urine is more representative of excretion and long term exposure.
Hair testing is relatively unreliable since it can easily be externally contaminated.
Nail testing is more promising, but not very well studied.
I would opt for blood + urine in most cases, if suspecting heavy metal toxicity.
This is how you know for sure. I would not undergo any of these interventions without a strong suspicion of heavy metal toxicity.
You can get heavy metals tested in the blood, no doctor needed, at a huge discount here: revelationdiagnostics.com/product-page/h…

An incredibly powerful tool for mental & cognitive health.
It heals depression, brain damage, Alzheimer's, and keeps your mind sharp.
The benefits of RED / INFRARED LIGHT THERAPY for the brain are astonishing:
Red light therapy reduces Alzheimer's plaques.
The main way that this light works is by improving mitochondrial function.
Diabetes & insulin resistance plague nearly 90% of the Western world,
because modern medicine doesn't understand, prevent or treat it properly.
Let's talk about the TRUTH about INSULIN RESISTANCE - how it REALLY happens, and what to do about it:
WHAT IS INSULIN RESISTANCE?
It is the unresponsiveness of the body to the actions of the hormone INSULIN,
which primarily exists to take carbohydrates (glucose or sugar) from the blood and put it into tissues, where it can be used for energy, stored, or converted into other important compounds.
If you don't respond to insulin, the sugar stays in your blood. You get high blood sugar.
The problem is that insulin resistance is framed as such - an insulin-centric problem.
In reality - ANYTHING that impairs your ability to break down (metabolize) carbohydrates will cause insulin resistance.
In order to fix it, you need to address ALL possible reasons that your cells and mitochondria cannot metabolize sugar.

You can eat AS MANY CARBS as you want, while LOSING weight and REVERSING insulin resistance.
Scientists have been studying it for decades.
Here’s the proof, and why an ULTRA HIGH CARB DIET can actually help you AVOID obesity and diabetes:
A high carb diet causes fat loss, without reducing calories.
In this study, people cut their fat calories from 38%➜28%,
and increased their carb intake accordingly.
They were told they could eat as much as they wanted.
Their weight dropped like a rock.

SEED OILS have been fattening us up for a century.
In fact, they've made sure you'll have trouble losing weight for the rest of your life.
Yet, the mainstream media wants to sweep it under the rug.
The science of how they contribute to obesity:
Seed oils promote obesity, without changing calories.
Seed oils have TONS of LINOLEIC ACID.
This is a fat is not very abundant in nature,
but we now MASSIVELY over consume it.
A diet that has as much we eat today (8%) induces fat gain relative to an "ancestral" amount (1%).

The benefits of MAGNESIUM are nearly endless.
It combats high cortisol, depression, insulin resistance, heart disease and is vital for gut health.
Why you need to double down on your intake for optimal health:
Magnesium deficiency nearly doubles risk of death.
The thing is, even this definition of deficiency (<2.4 mg/dL) is still higher than ~75% of people!
We are all constantly losing magnesium from poor diet, stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

If you've tried EVERYTHING and still can't lose weight, this is for you.
This is why your GUT is making you FAT (& what to do about it):
20 years ago, it was discovered that:
1. Obese people have distinct gut bacteria vs lean people 2. Transferring the gut bacteria from an obese donor to a lean animal makes the animal fat
without changing diet.
The key is in the gut.

It's been demonized for a century, yet is actually a powerful medicine.
It's anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, cognitive enhancing and even aids in fat loss.
The benefits of NICOTINE will shock you:
Nicotine reverses aging, improves metabolism.
A recent study showed that low dose nicotine:
◇ Enhances mitochondrial function
◇ Increases NAD+ levels (which decline in aging)
◇ Upregulates SIRT1 (an "anti-aging" gene)
mimicking that of youth.

People are NOT fat because they eat too much and move too little.
Here's the proof that we've been lied to (and something much bigger is going on):
Average calories (US):
1909: 3,500
1990: 3,500
yet, obesity increased by ~5X during that time.
People will often only show these numbers from 1960-2000 where calories increase as obesity does.
