Iron can actually SHORTEN your lifespan and age you on a cellular level.

(🧵1/10) This study was published in 2024, investigating the effects of iron chelation on age related parameters.

They used a common aging animal model - a Klotho knockout animal.

Animals are known to have shorter lifespans without this gene, and longer lifespans with more of it.

They gave them a drug called deferiprone, which binds up free iron and gets rid of it.

Put your finger on your wrist like this right now.

I can tell you more about your health on this alone than with $100s in lab tests.

Ready? This is what it means (🧵1/8): What you are feeling is your radial artery in your wrist area.

This tells you your:

◇ Heart rate (duh)
◇ Pulse amplitude

Both of these give you a ton of information on your health - in real time.

Let's talk about your heart rate first

Aged garlic was shown to shrink arterial plaques in a landmark clinical trial.

(🧵1/7)

This study was published in 2019, examining people with diabetes with plaque in the coronary artery.

This is the primary place where if plaque forms, you're susceptible to a heart attack.

N-acetylcysteine (NAC) was shown to reverse brain damage from aluminum in a critical study.

(🧵1/8) Animals were put into 6 groups - either getting aluminum or NAC or both.

The aluminum was administered as aluminum chloride, and it was done so orally.

This is important because roughly only 0.5% of oral aluminum chloride is absorbed, so the real effective doses the animals received were far less than than the 100 mg / kg.

This is still a high dose, but aluminum is known to accumulate in tissues.

Vinegar drastically reduces blood sugar and insulin levels, according to multiple clinical trials.

(🧵1/7) This first paper is a review article from 2017.

They looked at studies giving people vinegar alongside meals and monitored their blood sugar and insulin responses.

Having high levels of these post meal is highly indicative of insulin resistance and is a risk for heart disease.

Apologies, I do not have the official PDF so I'm working with the raw file here.

Why you SHOULDN'T be hysterical about vitamin C causing kidney stones, and what to do to prevent them (🧵1/10): The idea that vitamin C supplementation can cause kidney stones is not completely baseless, but it does lack context.

Ascorbic acid, or vitamin C, can get metabolized in our cells to create oxalate.

Oxalate is what binds to calcium to form kidney stones in most people.

Seems pretty straightforward, BUT...

FLUORIDE: The toxin in your water that destroys thyroid function.

Here's how, and what to do about it.

(🧵1/14)
In 2024 a massive review of studies was done on the effects of fluoride exposure and markers of thyroid health.

The higher the fluoride concentration in:

◈ Drinking water
◈ Urine
◈ Serum

the higher the TSH level was - a marker of primary hypothyroidism.

TSH rises when the thyroid gland does not respond to stimulation.

A recent study showed that vitamin K2 was protective against every single metric of dental health measured.

(🧵1/8) This paper came out in 2023 in Healthcare.

They aim was simple - look at vitamin K2 levels in relation to dental health.

They did this by looking at carboxylated osteocalcin levels - which reflects whole body K2 status.

An astounding study shows that 1/2 a teaspoon of baking soda lowered inflammation within hours.

(🧵1/9) Study was published in 2018 in The Journal of Immunology.

Some experiment were done in rodents including baking soda in the water.

Some groups had their vagus nerves cut.

Other animals had a surgery to disturb the spleen.

Both surgeries were done to see if these tissues mediated the effect of baking soda.

Then, the human studies were done comparing drinking 2g of baking soda dissolved in water vs 2g of salt.

MOLD: A silent cause behind your health issues.

Fortunately, there are several tools we can use to directly bind and eliminate their toxins.

Here's 5 of the most useful (🧵1/7):

(IMPORTANT: READ UNTIL END)

#1 Humic acids

These are materials formed from organic matter decomposition, and it's found in shilajit.

This study showed that including them in the diet could both bind and prevent the liver cancer from a common food mycotoxin, aflotoxin B1.

Typically dosing starts at 100 mg.

5 research backed tools to lower cortisol:

#1 GABA

GABA completely stopped cortisol in clinical trial.

25-50 mg orally - it in response to physiological stress, improving:

⊙ Fatigue
⊙ Concentration
⊙ Physical discomfort

(🧵1/9) GABA can suppress cortisol by its action in the brain.

The hypothalamus produces CRH ➞ pituitary to produce ACTH ➞ adrenals to produce cortisol.

GABA input to the hypothalamus calms these neurons, preventing CRH release and cortisol production.

(2/9)

Glycine has some striking anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and even blood pressure lowering effects in clinical trials.

(🧵1/7)

https://x.com/Outdoctrination/status/1952777425932148765

This first study here was published in 2017 in patients with cystic fibrosis.

This is a brutal genetically inherited condition where people develop chronic inflammation in the lungs due to malfunctioning of a transporter protein that regulates fluid composition in the lungs.

People were given 0.5 g / kg bodyweight of glycine.

Ice cream is actually one of the healthiest foods in existence, judging by a multitude of recent research articles.

(🧵1/12) There was a very highly publicized article that came out in 2018 out of Harvard.

It was for a student's dissertation, he found that ice cream was inversely associated with heart disease.

The nutrition department and the student himself tried repeatedly to "make the association go away" with different analysis, and checking his work.

But it didn't.

Cortisol was completely stopped under stress with a simple & cheap supplement, according to a fascinating study.

(🧵1/7)
This study was published in 2016, evaluating the anti-stress properties of L-THEANINE.

This is an amino acid found naturally in green tea.

People were given either a mix of:

➠ L-theanine (200 mg)
➠ L-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (alpha GPC; 25 mg),
➠ Phosphatidylserine (1 mg)
➠ Micronized chamomile (10 mg)

Or placebo, alongside a cognitive assessment.

While the drink did have these other ingredients, they are far below (<1-10%) their typical dosing - so their impacts were likely small or negligible.

ACNE - a sign things are going wrong far deeper than the skin.

Here's exactly how it happens, what it tells you about your health and how to tackle it:

(🧵1/15) We must first understand the skin and its structure.

The important structures in acne are:

◇ The hair follicle (what people call pores)
◇ The sebaceous glands, which produce the oil sebum
◇ The epidermis or outermost layer of the skin
◇ The stratum corneum of the epidermis, full of dead keratinocytes

Sebum is especially important for antimicrobial defenses, maintaining moisture and maintaining the barrier.

The stratum corneum intentionally contains dead keratinocytes, skin cells that produce the structural protein keratin.

When everything is in balance, the skin works as a protective barrier, a literal well oiled machine.

Zinc can rapidly and potently reduce cortisol levels, as demonstrated in an important clinical trial.

(🧵1/8) This study was a small one published in 1990.

Despite that, it gives us key insight into the role of zinc and how it regulates stress.

EYE FLOATERS - a sign your body is quietly suffering.

This is how they form, what that tells you about your underlying health, and how to prevent/eliminate them.

(🧵1/8) The vitreous fluid in the eyes is what makes up most of your eyeballs.

That fluid isn't just water, it's full of collagenous protein, hyaluronic acid and other structural components that give it its characteristic jelly-like features.

CANDIDA: The cause of your terrible gut health and fatigue that your doctor has no idea how to fix.

Here’s how to know if you have it, what causes it and what to do about it (🧵1/13): ◇ A coated tongue (more towards the front)
◇ IBS
◇ Crohn’s or UC
◇ Bloating
◇ Brain fog
◇ Gas
◇ Nausea
◇ Constipation
◇ Diarrhea
◇ A lack of appetite
◇ Fatigue

Are all signs of a fungal overgrowth, the most common of which is Candida.

Grey hair was improved by over 50% using a mix of natural ingredients in a landmark new clinical trial.

(🧵1/8) This study was published in 2025.

It took subjects experiencing hair loss conditions and gave them a product of:

◇ Redensyl - a mix of flavonoids and nutrients
◇ Oryza sativa (rice) water extract
◇ Salvia hispanica (chia) seed extract
◇ Rosemary oil
◇ MelanoGray - a different mix of flavonoids and nutrients
◇ AnaGain - based on pea and pea sprout extract

for 4 months.

Your body is talking. Are you listening?

Here are 5 signs it's begging for nutrients you haven't noticed (🧵1/5):

#1 White spots on nails

This is commonly from a zinc deficiency.

Zinc is needed for the differentiation of the cells that produce keratin, the primary protein of nails.

Without enough, the structure of keratin is impaired and thus white spots can form. #2 Bleeding gums

If it happens to you often, while brushing or otherwise,

this can be the result of a vitamin C deficiency.

Vitamin C is needed for the production of collagen, which is a major extracellular protein in the gums.

The gums can also be more sensitive / irritated easily.

There's a 50% chance a parasite is in you right now.

Here's everything you know about them & how to protect yourself.

(🧵1/16) SIGNS of a parasite:

- Bloating
- Gas (especially after meals)
- Constipation or diarrhea
- Undigested food in stool
- Brain fog
- Anxiety or irritability
- Fatigue
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Weight loss or unexplained weight gain
- Nutrient deficiencies despite eating well
- Histamine intolerance
- Food sensitivities
- Frequent infections
- Skin rashes or itching
- Muscle or joint pain

All of these symptoms can be indicative of, but are not exclusive to, parasites.

The KEY indicators that should make you think parasite over other factors:

☆ Itchiness - especially your butt
☆ Symptoms worsening at night (1-3 AM)
☆ Worsening at full moons
☆ Symptoms appear after traveling (esp to southeast Asia, Africa,
caribbean)
☆ Teeth grinding
☆ You see worms in your poop
