A thread 🧵 on :

INFLAMMATION

What it really is, why it happens,
and how to stop causing it. So, what is
inflammation?
It's your body's built-in alarm system.
A natural response to damage, infection, or stress.
It's not always bad.
In fact, it's how your body heals and protects itself.
The problem is when that alarm never shuts off.

Your bowels aren't moving things efficiently.
Low stomach acid = poor digestion = sluggish transit
Underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism)
Low magnesium or electrolyte imbalances
Nervous system dysregulation (stress & vagus nerve dysfunction)

Support: Optimize digestion with bitters, magnesium, and deep breathing before meals.

MIGRAINE :

DEFINITION:

Migraine is a neurological disorder characterised by episodic headaches often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and visual disturbances. The term
"migraine" is derived from the Greek word
"hemicrania," meaning "half of the head," as migraines typically affect one side of the head. Medical AETIOLOGY
Pathophysiology:
Cortical Spreading Depression (CSD): A wave of hyperexcitability spreads across the cortex, leading to transient constriction of blood vessels followed by dilation, contributing to ischaemia and aura. This process activates and sensitises the trigeminal nucleus, resulting in the release of vasoactive peptides like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and substance P, causing vasodilation and pain.

Neurogenic Inflammation: CGRP and substance P promote vasodilation and inflammation, exacerbating migraine pain. This mechanism is targeted by new migraine treatments, such as CGRP antagonists.

I tried to cover all the basic things required for the prevention of some cancers in this simple thread for the people who don’t understand medical language.

Yes some cancers we can prevent.

50% of Cancer Cases Are Preventable.

Researchers believe that over half of all cancer cases - and up to half of all cancer deaths
- are preventable.
This means there are between 2.4 million and 3.7 million avoidable deaths per year.

Only 5-10% of all cancers are entirely hereditary

Most cancers develop through a combination of hereditary and environmental factors, including smoking, alcohol, obesity and diet.

Top 6 Cancer Risks You Can
Control
1️⃣Tobacco Use - 30% of cancer deaths.
2️⃣Obesity - 40% of cancer deaths.
3️⃣A Poor Diet - 7.7% of cancer deaths.
4️⃣Alcohol - 5% of cancer death.
5️⃣Inactivity - 5% of cancer deaths.
6️⃣Infections (e.g., HPV, H. pylori) - 15% of cancer deaths.

A thread 🧵 : Tobacco Use
Tobacco use is responsible for 30% of cancer deaths, with chemicals in cigarettes causing DNA mutations, inflammation, and immune system suppression. Smoking increases the risk of lung, mouth, and throat cancers.
How it affects the body:
Liver: Elevated AST, ALT, GGT.
Kidneys: Increased creatinine, urea nitrogen.
Metabolic: High fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c.
Inflammatory: Elevated CRP, IL-6, TNF-alpha.
DNA: Increased mutated p53, DNA adducts.

A thread on common gut issues :

Bloating after carb-rich meals?
Look at your small intestine.

Difficulty digesting fat?
Look at your liver and gallbladder.

Feel like protein just sits there?
Look at your stomach (& stomach acid.)
Chronic constipation?

Look at your colon and nervous system.
Support the organ (& function) that's connected to your symptoms:

🧵: Bloating & carb-rich meals (Small intestine)
What could be happening:
Bacterial overgrowth (like SIBO) can cause fermentation of carbs, leading to bloating.
Sluggish motility in the small intestine can result in carbs sitting too long and fermenting.
Ways to support:
Try easier to digest and lower fodmap carbs (like white rice or squash) to reduce fermentation.
Space meals (4-5 hours between) to activate the Migrating Motor Complex (MMC).
Support motility with heating or prokinetic teas (like chamomile and ginger tea).

FOR WOMEN & GIRLS .

10 "Healthy"
Foods That Cause Inflammation.
Worsening Thyroid & PCOS Symptoms.

Disclaimer: It’s very that a girl or woman has problems with every food group mentioned here.

I am posting this for educational purposes.

A thread 🧵 : Gluten (Breads, Chapati , Biscuits )
Gluten is a common trigger for inflammation, especially in those with thyroid and PCOS conditions. It can contribute to intestinal permeability (leaky gut), which exacerbates autoimmune responses in Hashimoto's and worsens insulin resistance in PCOS. Even small amounts can cause bloating, fatigue, and immune flare-ups for sensitive individuals.

B vitamins can make you beautiful, smart, youthful and full of energy via your liver.

A thread 🧵 :

B vitamins at therapeutic levels are essential to "wake up" a liver that's sluggish or on standby by tueling the enzymes responsible for efficient detoxification, beta-oxidation (fat burning in the liver), and metabolic balance. In a perfectly healthy system, a basic B-complex might be enough, but when the body is burdened by issues like fatty liver disease, blood sugar imbalances, estrogen dominance, gallstones, chronic fatigue, or toxin buildup (from heavy metals, mold, candida etc), it requires higher doses of B vitamins to power these critical processes. Vitamin B1
Thiamine is essential for converting carbohydrates into usable energy-making it critical for blood sugar regulation and energy production at the cellular level. It helps prevent fatty liver by supporting glucose metabolism pathways that reduce fat buildup in the liver. Additionally, thiamine plays a vital role in cognitive health by fueling brain cells and supporting neurotransmitter synthesis-improving focus and mental clarity.

40+ and if you are sincere for your health then

The labs you should be asking your doctor for every year:

The tests are specific and very few doctors have focus on these :

A thread 🧵 :

First, remember that typical ranges are really broad and if something is out of range, it's at the point of pathology or diagnosis.
The optimal reference range helps you clue into potential imbalances sooner so you can be proactive instead of reactive. Complete thyroid panel:

A comprehensive thyroid panel provides a more detailed picture of thyroid function than just a TSH test alone. While TSH indicates how well the thyroid is being stimulated by the pituitary gland, measuring T3 and T4 levels helps assess the thyroid's actual hormone production and conversion - we need to convert the inactive form to the active, usable form which takes place largely in the gut and liver.
Additionally, testing for TPO antibodies can reveal underlying autoimmune issues, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
What to ask for:
TSH
Total T3
Free T3
Total T4
Free T4
TPO Antibodies
Reverse T3
Anti-thyroglobulin.

Without proper good REST all hustles are short lived.

The different types of rest & why they matter for even hormone health:

A THREAD🧵 : Physical Rest:

What it is: Rest for your body, including sleep (passive rest) and activities like stretching or massage (active rest).
Why it matters: Physical rest supports recovery, reduces cortisol (the stress hormone), and enhances the production of hormones like growth hormone, which is essential for repair and metabolic health. Sleep deprivation, on the other hand, can disrupt hormones regulating hunger (ghrelin and leptin), leading to weight gain and cravings.

The ultimate gut health cheat sheet.

A THREAD :

Firstly, let's quickly cover why prioritising gut health is so important.
Your gut does more than just digest food, it's the powerhouse behind your energy, immunity, mental clarity, and even your mood. It influences everything from how you absorb nutrients to how well you sleep and manage stress. A happy gut means glowing skin, balanced
hormones, and a healthier you from the inside out. Morning habits:

Water & Sunlight they are morning elixirs.

Later calming herbal tea like ginger or peppermint to soothe your digestive system.

Then you can go for resistance traing followed by zone 2 cardio.

Eat a small handful of soaked almonds to provide gut-friendly nutrients and healthy fats.
Eat a high-protien breakfast can
Include fermented foods like Greek yogurt,buttermilk or sauerkraut for probiotics.

2 days a week in place of resistance training practice box breathing while low intensity walk: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4, repeat 4 times.
This calms your nervous system and prepares your body for digestion.
Avoid rushing in the morning - stress can impact your gut function.

8 Lessons People Learn too late in life:

A thread:

1. Important people come and go, and that's okay.
Unfortunately, the most important people in your life can become strangers overnight.
Fortunately, total strangers can become the most important people in your life overnight.
This process hurts, but if accepted, it serves to improve the quality and suitability of the people in your life. 2. Your diet isn't just what you eat.
As you get older you realise that your diet isn't just what you eat, it's what you watch, what you read, who you follow and who you spend your time with.
So if your goal is to have a healthier mind, you have to start by removing all the junk from your diet.

10 tiny habits to avoid feeling burnt out. 1

The power of "no"
Practice saying no (even to yourself). For example, turn down unnecessary obligations or resist the urge to scroll on social media for long periods of time. Every
"no" protects your time, energy, and focus for things that align with your goals.

Plan tomorrow, tonight
Before bed, use the 1-1-1 Rule to structure your next day: list 1 must-do task that absolutely needs to get done, 1 important task that supports your goals but isn't urgent, and 1 task you'd enjoy to add something light to your day. This method helps balance productivity with enjoyment and reduces overwhelm.
