1) Cold Face Dip
The mammalian dive reflex is nature’s emergency brake.
Splash cold water or submerge face for 15–30 sec. This slows heart rate, calms vagal tone, and stops fight-or-flight instantly.
But what does this have to do with the parasympathetic nervous system?

As a Nervous System Specialist,
I've seen countless people waste years running away from stress - just to end up hopeless & more depressed...
After 10000+ hours coaching over 493 high performers and CEOs, here's how to make stress your superpower: 🧵
A study of 30,000 adults shocked psychologists.
• High stress + belief it was harmful = 43% higher risk of death.
• High stress + belief it wasn’t harmful = longest lifespans.
It wasn’t the stress that killed people.
It was their relationship to stress.

This man reveals what most therapists hide:
Leo Tolstoy.
Over 100 years ago, he exposed how modern life was designed to secretly keep you stressed, depressed, and full of regret.
Here's his chilling warnings and how to break free (according to neuroscience): 🧵
Leo Tolstoy isn’t just any writer.
He’s the mind behind War and Peace and Anna Karenina—novels that shaped world literature.
However, his later works took on a philosophical tone, preoccupied with the question:
How should we live, knowing we will die?

Dr. Andrew Huberman often says:
"The brain is capable of incredible things, but it requires effort and dedication to unlock its full potential."
Once you free your mind... stress, anxiety, & depression evaporate.
Here's the Huberman Limitless Mind Protocol: 🧵
Philosopher Carl Jung once said:
“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.”
Your mind works the same way.
If you don’t train it, your biology defaults to distraction and stress.

The most destructive, oddly worshipped, yet ignored problem in the world:
Chronic Stress.
It silently hijacks your brain, burns out your body & mind, and tears down your immune system.
Here’s Dr. Jordan Peterson’s 7-step protocol to unlock your mind: 🧵
Before Peterson’s steps, you need to see the biology.
Chronic stress isn’t just “feeling anxious.”
It’s your nervous system trapped in survival mode—keeping the alarm on long after the threat is gone.
If your life is chaotic, your nervous system assumes you’re unsafe.

After 10000+ hours researching high performers, CEOs & geniuses, my mind is now bulletproof.
I have helped 493+ people do the same.
These are my top 5 neuro-hacks that will change your life:
Chronic stress isn’t just in your head.
Your brain triggers the alarm → hormones surge
→ your body enters survival mode.
A short burst helps you react.
But when it never shuts off, it slowly breaks you down.
That’s why chronic stress is so lethal:

Dr. Gabor Maté dedicated his life to curing childhood trauma.
His finding? Trauma is the root of most:
• diseases
• addictions
• stress & anxiety
It's not in your mind and invisible in your genes.
I've collected his 5 most powerful lessons: (THREAD) 🧵 1. Western medicine sees disease as a separate "thing."
But Maté shows illness is not an entity; it’s a process.
Your life, relationships, and environment shape whether disease develops or heals.
Mind, body, and society are inseparable.

I'm 47.
I used to work 70-hour weeks until burnout almost ruined my life.
After 20 years and 10,000+ hours of coaching others...
Here's my protocol to eliminate burnout (for good): 🧵
In the morning, you wake up exhausted—no matter how much you sleep.
In the evening, you feel “tired but wired”—too exhausted to work, yet unable to fall asleep.
You blame it on “too much work” or “not enough rest.”
But what if burnout isn’t what you think it is?

The most dangerous, life-wrecking, yet ignored condition today:
THYROID DYSFUNCTION
It's why you wake up tired, can't lose weight, and feel foggy 24/7—despite doing everything “right”.

This ends today.
Here’s why your nervous system is screaming for help (and how to calm it down forever):
Your nervous system controls your entire body—whether that’s voluntarily or involuntarily.
When talking about stress, we’re interested in autonomic (involuntary) nervous system.

Zebras don’t get ulcers.
Zebras don't get strokes.
Zebras don’t get cancer.
Despite facing death daily, wild animals recover from stress instantly.
Humans? We worry for years and get chronic disease.
Here’s why stress is destroying your health—and how to break free:
When stressed, your body releases hormones (adrenaline and cortisol) which help:
• Convert glycogen to glucose (blood sugar)
• Accelerate heart rate and oxygen intake
• Increase alertness and focus
This gives you more energy, sharper reactions, and more muscle strength.

Andrew Huberman just dropped a 2-hour masterclass on cortisol—your body's stress hormone.
He said high cortisol leads to burnout, faster aging, weight gain, memory loss, heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Here's a 7-step protocol to fix your cortisol levels (backed by science):
[Step 1] Understand How Cortisol Works
Cortisol isn't "bad"—your brain and body need it to gain energy. The problem is when you release too much cortisol, at the wrong time.

Stress.
It makes you anxious, depressed, unable to fall asleep, and it often leads to early death.

First, some statistics:

Chronic stress isn’t in your head.
It’s not genetic, either.
It’s a full-body glitch—your nervous system is stuck in a 200,000-year-old survival trap.
Until you rewire it, you’ll stay stuck in fatigue, brain fog, and silent burnout.
Here’s how to break the loop: 🧵
Most people miss the early signs.
Tension in your chest. Racing thoughts. Trouble focusing.
Digestive issues. Hair thinning. Waking up tired even after 8 hours.
