Jay Shetty just had one of the world's top orthopedic surgeons on his podcast.

Dr. Vonda Wright.

She revealed shocking truths about fat, aging & your body that 99% of doctors won't tell you...

Here's everything you need to know:

1. Walking grows your brain 2. Your bones actually produce testosterone

Most people think bones are just scaffolding.

But they stimulate testosterone production, build neurons in your brain and regulate your blood sugar.

Here's how:

You've been lied to about why you're always tired.

It's not just stress, age, or your diet.

Dr. Charles Brenner has spent 20 years studying the molecule that powers all of your cells.

Here are 6 reasons why your body depends on NAD:

1) NAD fixes damaged DNA Every day your cells take hits from radiation, toxins, and normal metabolism.

When damage happens, an enzyme called PARP-1 consumes NAD to trigger the repair process.

Over time, unrepaired DNA damage is one of the main drivers of cancer.

If you think only money, intelligence, or genetics determine how long you live...

80 years of Harvard research says you're wrong.

The real predictor is something most people overlook every single day without realizing it.

Here's what they found (thread): The study began in 1938 with two groups:

268 healthy Harvard sophomores
456 boys from Boston's poorest neighborhoods

Every 2 years they measured health, career, relationships, and finances.

Scientists gave 200 married couples a voodoo doll of their spouse.

They were told to add a pin every time their spouse annoyed them.

After 6 weeks, one measurement predicted who stabbed it the most.

And it had nothing to do with their relationship... (thread): The study began as an experiment on food.

Researchers wanted to understand what happens inside your body every time you eat.

So they tracked 200 couples over 6 weeks measuring one single metric around the clock.

What they found went far beyond food:

Magnesium helped reduce 7.5 years of cognitive aging in just 6 weeks.

It also improved memory, reaction time, & sleep.

Roughly 50% of Americans are deficient in magnesium, and chronic deficiency accelerates this kind of cognitive decline.

Here's what the study shows (thread): Image

Researchers at Clinical Research Australia ran a 6-week randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

100 adults aged 18-45 with self-reported poor sleep were split into two groups: magnesium L-threonate or placebo.

Everyone over 30 blames their genes for aging faster.

But research proves genetics is only 10% of the equation.

Here are 7 rules from Harvard's top anti-aging scientist to slow aging in your 30s, 40s, and beyond:

1) If you're not hungry in the morning, don't eat... Skipping meals may be the most powerful thing you can do

Breakfast is not the most important meal of the day.

Fasting raises NAD: the molecule that fuels your body's cellular repair proteins.

Hydrogen water dissolved liver fat after just 28 days.

It also significantly decreased BMI & showed zero side effects.

2 billion people have fatty liver disease and the one approved drug only works after significant scarring has already occurred.

Here's the data (thread): Image

What exactly is fatty liver disease?

When fat makes up more than 5% of the liver's weight.

Most people find out only after significant damage has occurred because it rarely shows signs.

Hydrogen is the most overlooked antioxidant on Earth.

It protects your brain, reduces inflammation, & even boosts GLP-1 naturally—yet no one talks about it.

So, I started exploring its powers... what I found blew me away:

1) Hydrogen only targets the most toxic free radicals Hydrogen is a selective antioxidant

Unlike other antioxidants that neutralize all free radicals, hydrogen only neutralizes the most toxic ones (like hydroxyl radicals).

Leaving the good free radicals alone that your body uses for cell signaling and immune function.

Everyone from Joe Rogan to the Kardashians swears by NAD for anti-aging and recovery.

Rhonda Patrick interviewed the scientist who discovered the molecule behind it.

Dr. Charles Brenner.

Here's everything you need to know (thread):

1) NAD is the wiring of your entire body Think of your body like an electric vehicle.

The battery stores high-energy electrons & copper wires deliver them to every system.

NAD is the copper wire (capturing electrons from food & routing them to fuel everything you do)

Energy, memory, heartbeat all runs on NAD.

Dr. Emeran Mayer has spent 35 years mapping the connection between your gut and your brain.

He says most chronic illness in the modern world starts in this one place.

His 6 most important gut health findings:

1. Parkinson's and Alzheimer's start in the gut 2. 70% of your immune system lives in your gut

It sits microns away from trillions of microbes constantly communicating, constantly responding.

What you eat is also instructions to your immune system:

Steven Bartlett sat down with the sleep doctor who helps create NBA champions.

One year after working with her, Andre Iguodala was named Finals MVP.

8 mind-blowing insights from their conversation:

1. She predicted NBA teams would lose 86% of the time, just from their schedule 2. The Andre Iguodala Story

He was staying up until the early hours playing video games & taking 2-3 hour naps just to function.

Dr. Mah rebuilt his entire approach to sleep:

She just went on Joe Rogan & revealed why men today have half the testosterone of their grandfathers.

Here are the 7 most shocking findings:

1. It's not just men Most people think testosterone is a male hormone.

But women need it for energy, libido, and muscle.

Dr. Swan's research found women with higher chemical exposure reported lower sexual satisfaction, reduced libido, and less frequent intimacy.

1) Fix breakfast first

You've been fasting all night. Insulin is finally low.

The moment you eat cereal, toast, or juice you spike it back up.

Fast through breakfast or eat protein + fat instead.

1 in 4 people has fatty liver disease.

The only approved drug targets advanced scarring & by then significant damage is already done.

Two independent studies found hydrogen water reduced liver fat on MRI scans in just 28 days (with zero side effects).

What exactly is fatty liver disease?

When fat makes up more than 5% of the liver's weight, it becomes fatty liver disease — and it usually has no symptoms.

Most people find out only after significant damage has occurred.

Meet Dr. Tatiana Sampaio.

The biologist helping paralyzed patients walk again.

She spent 30 years researching a protein that rebuilds damaged nerves, restores movement, & did what medicine said was impossible.

This might be the most important discovery of the decade: 🧵 Image Spinal cord injuries affect 27 million people worldwide.

Once those pathways are severed, doctors say there's nothing they can do.

For decades, that was the end of the story... Image
