American food is banned in the UK.
Not because of politics, but because of what’s in it.
Cancer-linked dyes, Toxic seed oils, & Additives you’ve never heard of....
Here’s how banned ingredients in Europe are making Americans sick (legally): 🧵
They didn’t ban Big Macs or Coke but just what’s in them.
The same brands you trust are reformulated overseas.
These ingredient’s are the reason, and are probably in your pantry…

Your circadian rhythm holds one of the most underrated fat-loss methods on Earth.
Used right, it burns fat, fixes sleep, and eliminates late-night cravings and yet no one talks about it.
So, I started researching its health benefits…
What I discovered will blow your mind: 🧵
Here’s what shocked me:
The same 600-calorie meal at 8AM → fuels energy but at 11PM → fuels fat storage.
And that changes everything…

50 years ago, people were leaner and stronger without counting calories or hitting the gym.
Then something changed in the late 20th century, and muscle mass started dropping while obesity increased.
No, it wasn’t because of less exercise…
Here’s what really happened: 🧵
In the 1960s - 1970s, the average American got ~14–15% of their calories from protein.
Now, that’s fallen to ~12%.
It might sound small but it triggered a change in your body so powerful that most people don’t even realize it’s controlling them right now.
Here’s why…

You can eat less, exercise more, and STILL not lose fat.
Because fat loss is controlled by one hormone almost no one talks about.
It’s not insulin, not cortisol, and it’s something you’ve probably never heard of...
Here’s what it is, and how to fix it (science proven): 🧵
The hormone is called leptin.
It’s your body's fat loss thermostat.
It tells your brain how much energy you've stored as body fat and when leptin is working well, your brain keeps you lean.
However, when it’s broken, fat loss becomes almost impossible.
Here’s how it works:

This is Dr. Ted Naiman.
A physician who helped fix obesity for hundreds of patients using one simple formula:
Protein to energy ratio.
After decades of treating people, here’s how it works, and how it can help you lose fat without starving yourself: 🧵
A quick note:
This isn’t another “eat clean and lift weights” thread. It’s about a biological truth most people have never heard:
We eat until our body gets enough protein.
That one idea explains 90% of your cravings, weight gain, and failed diets.
Here’s how it works:

Saunas are one of the most underrated fat-loss tools on Earth.
Used regularly, they help with fat loss, boost longevity, and improve heart health — yet most people ignore them.
There’s a reason ancient cultures swore by saunas.
Here’s what the science says (it’s shocking): 🧵
Most people think saunas are just for “sweating and relaxing.”
But the effects go way deeper.
A single sauna session can increase growth hormone by up to 500% — helping with fat loss, muscle repair, and anti-aging.
And that’s just the beginning.

This is Alan Aragon.
One of the most trusted nutrition experts alive.
He’s coached Olympians, written textbooks, and debunked diet myths for 30+ years.
I studied his podcast with Andrew Huberman —Twice.
That completely changed how I think about fat loss
Here are 7 takeaways:
1.
Fasted cardio is overrated.
You don’t burn more fat in the long run by skipping breakfast before training.
What matters most is total energy balance.
If that surprised you, this next one is even more important:
It’s the foundation of all fat loss…

Fasting can activate some of the body’s most powerful healing processes
It allows your body to rest, repair, and naturally clean out what it no longer needs.
It’s literally a built-in healing system
Here's how to fast correctly (backed by science): 🧵
Before we start, just note:
Fasting isn’t just skipping meals. It’s a biological trigger.
When done right, it activates autophagy — your body’s way of cleaning out damaged cells and making space for new ones.
This is what real cellular healing looks like.
So what is fasting actually…..?

You only need 12 minutes per week.
After 30 years of research, Dr. Doug McGuff discovered a training method that revolutionized fitness:
Just 12 minutes per week to get stronger, leaner, and more energized.
It’s called HIST.
Here’s his method and the science behind it:
The problem nobody talks about:
Most people think fitness = more time.
So they grind away on cardio machines and lift weights for hours a week.
But the results are slow—or non-existent.
Worse? It drains time, energy, and motivation.

This is Dr. Cate Shanahan.
The nutritionist who completely changed Kobe Bryant’s career.
She transformed the energy levels and joint health of Steve Nash, Dwight Howard, and the entire Lakers team.
Her #1 rule:
Remove these 8 oils now or stay inflamed forever:🧵
In 2012, the Lakers were broken.
They were tired, sore, and slow to recover.
- Kobe had knee pain.
- Nash had back problems.
- Dwight’s body wasn’t healing.
So Gary Vitti, the Lakers’ longtime trainer, called in Dr. Cate Shanahan…

I'm American.
In 2023, I visited Italy for the first time.
What I experienced completely shattered my Western mindset.
12 Italian oddities I still can’t get out of my head:
Siesta Culture.
Between 12:30 and 3 PM, all shops close.
Streets are empty - everyone just naps and resets.
In the U.S., we’re wired to grind 24/7.
In Italy, they prioritize rest.
And somehow, they’re more productive.

It’s not in your head—it’s in your body.
You can’t relax.
Your mind always finds the worst-case scenario.
It’s called hypervigilance.
A trauma response keeping your nervous system stuck in survival mode.
Here’s how to regain control and feel safe in your own body again:🧵
Hypervigilance isn’t “just anxiety.”
It’s your nervous system preparing for danger that no longer exists.
You scan every room.
You replay every conversation.
You expect betrayal, rejection, or disaster.
Even in silence—your body is loud.

This is Matt Abrahams.
A Stanford professor who found that 85% of people fear public speaking more than dying.
His book "Think Faster, Talk Smarter” turns introverts into motivational speakers.
Here are 6 of his lessons that will make you a better speaker than 99% of people:
Let’s start with the truth nobody wants to say:
Most people think they’re shy, quiet, or socially awkward…
But they're just untrained communicators.
Speaking isn’t a talent.
It’s a skill.

Harvard found the root cause of anxiety, depression, and PTSD symptoms:
Unforgiveness.
If you can’t forgive, you'll never heal.
You have deep emotional scars that are silently reshaping who you are.
Here’s how to break free from years of emotional pain through forgiveness:
“Forgiveness isn’t for them. It’s for you.”
You’ve heard that before. But what does it actually mean?
Most people think forgiveness is a favor you do for the person who hurt you.
But that’s entirely wrong…

Rob Dyrdek is the most interesting man alive.
He made $335M by tracking every second of his life.
He also:
- Got hypnotized into success
- Controlled MTV for 15 years
- Eats the same meals everyday
Here’s Rob’s hyper productive daily routine (how he tracks every second):
Most know Rob as a skater and MTV star.
But in 2015, despite the fame and deals, he hit a wall.
He had success - but no control.
His time was running him, not the other way around.
That’s when he built his “Life Operating System”.

I was addicted to caffeine.
Then I read that coffee is a grenade to your gut health.
Now I’m never drinking it again.
Here’s what happened when I quit (and why you should stop drinking coffee immediately):🧵
How caffeine works:
It builds sleep pressure by blocking adenosine from entering your brain.
It’s not giving you energy, it’s delaying your exhaustion.

This is Carol Dweck.
The Stanford professor who discovered that success is created by your mind.
Michael Jordan, Oprah Winfrey, and Elon Musk all used her secret to hack success.
“Growth Mindset”
Here's how to use it to reach your full potential
(backed by science):🧵
Dweck’s core belief:
"The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life."
→ You can be talented and fail.
→ You can be average and succeed.
It all depends on these two concepts:
