Running out of this one molecule ages you faster than smoking.

That's based on a decade of research from Baylor College of Medicine.

Adults over 70 who restored it saw muscle loss, brain fog, and slow healing reverse.

Here's the molecule, and how they did it: 🧵 Inside every cell, glutathione acts like a fire extinguisher, putting out damage before it piles up.

The problem: your body makes less of it every year after 20.

By your 60s and 70s, most people are running on fumes right when the fires start showing up everywhere.

Tim Ferriss had the world's leading expert on longevity & brain aging on his podcast.

Dr. Rhonda Patrick.

She revealed the overlooked science behind brain health that most doctors won't tell you...

My top 6 takeaways:

1. 5g of creatine daily does almost nothing for your brain 2. Saunas 4-7x per week

Cut Alzheimer's risk by 65%.

A 20-year study of 2,000 men proved it.

Just make sure you're not using it above 190 degrees:

Your body is quietly on fire.

It's called "inflammaging".

Low-grade inflammation that drives Alzheimer's, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and arthritis all at once.

Here are the 6 best ways to put it out: Inflammaging = the chronic, low-grade inflammation that builds as your body ages.

Your immune system slowly loses its ability to clean up damaged cells.

Those damaged cells pile up and never stop releasing inflammatory signals that silently drive disease.

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:

There's a parasite spreading across the United States causing "explosive" diarrhea that can last 6 weeks straight.

It's confirmed in 17 states and hundreds of cases have been reported.

Here's what it is, and how to actually protect yourself: 🧵

What it is?

Cyclospora cayetanensis is a microscopic parasite you can't see, smell, or taste.

You catch it by eating fresh produce contaminated with tiny traces of infected feces. Image

Over 20,000 studies prove TURMERIC is the most powerful anti-inflammatory on Earth.

It destroys chronic pain, flushes toxins from your liver, and protects your brain from early aging.

Here's everything you need to know about it:

1) It heals your gut first Most people think turmeric works by entering your bloodstream.

It doesn't.

Only 1-2% gets absorbed. The real magic happens in your gut where turmeric feeds healthy bacteria and stops inflammation before it spreads.

Here's why that matters:

A 2-year trial just tested whether you can actually slow human aging.

And it worked better than anyone expected.

Two supplements helped cut invasive cancer 61% and frailty 40% in older adults, and slowed aging in their actual DNA (for under $1 a day).

Here's what happened:🧵 We measure biological age with "epigenetic clocks".

DNA patterns that shift with age and predict disease and death better than the number on your license.

These clocks (DNA GrimAge & PhenoAge built by Dr. Steve Horvath at UCLA) are scary accurate.

If your inflammation is out of control, you'll feel exhausted no matter what you try.

Most people don't realize it's the silent cause behind almost every chronic disease.

Here are 8 ways to kill inflammation naturally (& get your energy back):

1) Walk every 60 minutes Most people think one workout cancels out a full day of sitting but it doesn't...

Your muscles produce anti-inflammatory signals when they move. Sit for 8 hours and those signals stop (even if you trained).

Most people believe once microplastics get into your body, they're stuck there for life.

A researcher proved that wrong using his own blood.

He had the highest microplastic levels ever measured, then flushed them out (almost) completely with one cheap compound.

Here's how: 🧵 Inside every cell, lysosomes act like tiny incinerators that break down waste.

The problem: microplastics can't be digested.

So instead of getting destroyed, they just sit there and pile up, clogging the lysosome like a backed-up kitchen sink.

Over 25,000 studies prove that SPIRULINA is the most underrated food on Earth.

It kills inflammation, pulls heavy metals from your brain, and reverses mitochondrial aging.

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

1) It's more effective than fasting 2) It provides SOD

From birth, your body produces an antioxidant called SOD.

Shielding your mitochondria from the free radicals produced every time your cells make energy.

After 40, production drops to virtually zero.

Spirulina is the only food that delivers it intact:

Steven Bartlett just had the world's top sleep doctor on his podcast.

Dr. Michael Breus.

He revealed shocking truths about sleep, chronotypes & insomnia that 99% of people wouldn't know...

Here are my top 6 takeaways:

1. Don't go pee at 3am 2. Melatonin is probably hurting you

Melatonin is a hormone, not a supplement.

It interacts with SSRIs, birth control, blood pressure & diabetes medication.

And most people are taking 10x the recommended dose:

It's not your diet, but it's also not your genetics.

After decades of research, scientists now believe NAD depletion is one of the key drivers of most of what we blame on aging.

6 things about NAD that changed how I think about getting old:

1) NAD is the fuel your cells run on Every cell in your body uses NAD to produce energy, repair DNA, and fight inflammation.

Without it, nothing works properly.

It's involved in over 400 biological reactions meaning your body literally cannot function without it. Image

Hydrogen water will be as common as creatine in 10 years.

The world's leading hydrogen scientist will change how you think about your health forever.

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

1) Drinking hydrogen water improved every marker of metabolic syndrome In a 24-week study conducted by Dr. LeBaron, people drinking hydrogen water (vs regular water) saw:

- Weight loss
- Improved HbA1c
- Lower oxidative stress
- Reduced inflammation
- Better cholesterol levels
- Decreased glucose levels

No lifestyle/diet changes were made.

Steven Bartlett recently said ā€œI had two glasses of wine and it ruined three days of my life.ā€

Everyone called him weak but they're missing the point entirely.

What he described is classic high cortisol.

7 signs yours is dangerously high:

1. Alcohol destroys you for days High cortisol already has your nervous system running on overdrive.

When you drink, alcohol spikes cortisol even further. Then it crashes.

The result:

- Shattered sleep
- Inflamed body
- Zero recovery

2 glasses feels like 10.

Cortisol was designed to save your life.

But if it never drops, it starts destroying it...

Chronic stress physically reshapes your brain causing memory loss, weight gain, and accelerated aging.

Here's how to reverse it:

1. The damage isn't permanent Image

Your brain has a remarkable ability to rewire itself called: neuroplasticity.

Even after years of chronic stress, the hippocampus can regrow.

Cortisol-related weight gain can reverse and cellular aging can slow.

But only if you stop the flood first...

Your testosterone is being destroyed by something you touch every day.

Dr. Shanna Swan spent 30 years studying the global fertility collapse.

What she revealed to Joe Rogan will change how you see everything around you (thread):

1) Morning coffee may be your biggest exposure 2) Plastic is the main reason

Chemicals called phthalates & bisphenols mimic estrogen in your body.

They suppress testosterone in both men and women.

Dr. Swan explains how they work:

If your inflammation is out of control, you'll feel exhausted no matter what you try.

Most people don't realize it's the silent cause behind almost every chronic disease.

Here are 8 ways to kill inflammation naturally (& get your energy back):

1) Walk 10,000 steps A University of Birmingham study of 200 adults found:

3,000 steps/day → high inflammation
5,000-7,000 steps/day → 50% less inflammation
10,000 steps/day → zero inflammation

Telomere length is linked to every major age-related disease (it's your biological clock).
