You “die” when your heart stops.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death, more than all forms of cancer and accidents combined.

Here are 3 doctor-approved fixes to make your heart 20 years younger:

Problem #1: Your arteries are hardening. As you age, blood vessels stiffen.
This slowly increases blood pressure and heart strain, entering a vicious cycle.
Smoking, sugar, and stress further accelerate this process.

The ultimate goal: Keep your arteries elastic and young.

Your body is starving for this ONE nutrient.

It's not a vitamin, mineral, or protein.

It's a natural substance that slows aging in adults and transforms newborns' development forever.

Here's what it is (& how to get enough of it):🧵 It’s called Nitric Oxide (NO).

Your body makes it every day.

NO widens blood vessels and fuels cellular energy, providing oxygen.

But by age 40, your levels drop by over 50% naturally, which means:
• Less oxygen for performance
• Weaker blood flow
• Higher risk of disease

This might save your life:

If your thyroid is broken, you’ll feel tired, fat, depressed, and cold no matter what you do.

But 2 out of 3 people have thyroid issues & have no clue they do.

Here’s what’s going on (& how to fix it before it destroys your health): 🧵 Thyroid is a small butterfly-shaped gland in your neck.

But it’s the master switch of your metabolism.

It runs your:
• Body temp
• Weight
• Energy
• Digestion
• Mood
• Fertility

If it's off, everything else suffers:

You were lied to.

This Harvard anthropologist spent 19 years proving your weight gain has nothing to do with aging.

Here are 6 metabolism myths keeping you fat:

Myth 1: Metabolism slows down with age Pontzer’s 2021 study analyzed data from 6,400 individuals from birth to age 95.

Metabolism stays rock steady from age 20 to 60.

Your weight gain isn’t aging.

It’s because you move less, sleep worse, eat more processed food, and get more stressed.

Red light therapy is the best biohack on the planet.

It “triggers” your body to heal wounds 200% faster, melt fat, reverse aging at the cellular level, and gives you better skin.

NASA first used it to save lives in space.

Here’s how it works (& how to do it safely):🧵 Red and near-infrared (NIR) light (600–850nm) penetrates skin and tissue.

When it hits the mitochondria, it does one thing very well:

It makes your cells produce more ATP (your body's energy currency).

This also slows cellular aging by boosting mitochondrial repair.

Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman spent 17 years studying how ancient humans slept, moved, and aged over centuries.

The 5 myths he debunked will change how you think about health forever:

1. Myth: Sitting is killing you Not exactly…

Hunter-gatherers sit just as much as modern people.

The difference is that they get up every 10–15 minutes.

Sitting isn’t the issue; uninterrupted stillness for way too long is.

Your body “dies” when your heart stops.

But your heart ages faster than the rest of your body.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death than all forms of cancer and accidents combined.

• Random anxiety
• Fatigue after small efforts
• Shortness of breath walking up stairs
• Cold hands and feet

These are signs of declining cardiovascular efficiency.

Everyone thinks burning fat is “calories in, calories out.”

But you can’t lose belly fat if your hormones are chronically elevated.

Here's how to burn fat correctly (according to science):

1. Stop spending so much time on cardio Chronic cardio doesn’t burn fat.

Overtraining impairs thyroid and metabolism.

It raises cortisol, breaks down muscle, and makes your body store fat long-term.

Diet accounts for ~80% of fat loss outcomes.

If you must do cardio…

If this were a superhero movie, you wouldn’t believe it.

In 2006, Hugh Jackman got cancer.

Over the next 15 years, he beat cancer 6 times while playing the most physically demanding role in Hollywood: "Wolverine."

This is a true story:🧵 Hugh was filming X-Men: The Last Stand when he first noticed it.

A tiny patch of dry skin.

His wife, Deborra-Lee, told him to get it checked.

Good thing he listened.

It turned out to be “basal cell carcinoma”, the most common type of skin cancer.

This might save your life:

1 in 2 adults over 30 has hypertension.

When blood pressure is too high, it damages your blood vessels, brain, and heart.

Here's how to fix the “silent killer” (& not be dependent on lifelong medication): 🧵 Normal vs. High blood pressure:

• Normal: <120 / <80 mmHg
• Elevated: 120–129 / <80
• Stage 1 hypertension: 130–139 / 80–89
• Stage 2 hypertension: ≥140 / ≥90
• Crisis: ≥180 / ≥120 (ER now)

Every 20 mmHg increase doubles your risk of stroke and heart disease. Image

This amino acid controls your brain, blood flow, and erection:

L-arginine

But almost no one uses it correctly.

Here’s what you need to know (& how to get results): L-arginine is a semi-essential amino acid.

Your body can make it, but not always in the amounts needed, especially with:

• Aging
• Illness
• Stress
• Poor diet
It’s the direct precursor to nitric oxide (NO), the molecule that expands blood vessels.
