My daily routine keeps me feeling 18 at age 60.

Here is what I do every day, and why it works:

Wake and Prime: 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m... 🧵 I wake naturally with no alarm and get morning light right away.

If there is no sun, I take 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 with 100 mcg of vitamin K2. Then I drink 16 to 20 ounces of water with a pinch of sea salt.

Sometimes I add a cup of coffee with one scoop of collagen powder.

Not all food is real food.

Many everyday staples are engineered with chemicals and fillers.

Here are 5 of the worst ultra-processed factory foods and why they’re wrecking your health:

1/ Seed Oils Seed oils are often said to be healthy, but their production process tells a different story.

They’re chemically extracted using hexane (a solvent) at very high temperatures.

Here’s the ugly truth about avocados (that you won’t like):

I used to think they were the most amazing superfood you could possibly eat.

I even recommended them to my patients…

Until I found this out: 🧵 Many avocados are artificially ripened.

They’re placed in gas chambers and treated with ethylene gas to speed up the process.

But this prevents natural flavor compounds and phytonutrients from developing.

It may look perfect outside, but it lacks quality inside.

From athletes to biohackers, it’s the hottest (and coldest) health trend right now.

But do they actually work… or is it just hype?

Here’s what the science really says: 🧵 Let’s start with the sauna.

When you expose your body to heat, you create a mild stress known as the hormetic effect.

This “good stress” forces your body to adapt, becoming stronger in the process.

Similar benefits happen with fasting, exercise, and even cold exposure.
