If your psoas muscle is tight, you'll feel anxious no matter what you try.

Most people don't realize this one muscle can matter more than stress management.

Here are 10 cheat codes to train your psoas and feel like 20 again:

1. Do a constructive rest pose for 10 minutes daily The psoas is the only muscle linking spine to legs, making it central to all movement and stability.

For the first exercise: lie on your back, knees bent, feet flat. Let gravity do the work.

Studies show it's the safest way to begin psoas relaxation.

Rhodiola Rosea was discovered 2000 years ago.

& the medical industry has been hiding it from you since then.

So I started researching it's healing benefits...

What I found will blow your mind: 🧵 1. What is Rhodiola Rosea?

Rhodiola Rosea is an Arctic root that grows in the harsh mountains of Siberia.

For over 2,000 years, locals used it to survive brutal winters and high altitudes.

But here's what most people don't know...

Your brain keeps you alive.

But it's under attack every single day.

Getting enough sleep and avoiding alcohol is not enough to protect it.

Here are 9 silent killers that are destroying your brain right now (& how to protect it to avoid permanent damage): 🧵

1. Loneliness Most people think loneliness is just emotional pain.

But it's actually rewiring your brain for the worse.

Chronic loneliness increases stroke risk by 32% and physically changes brain structure.

Your neurons are literally withering away from lack of human connection.

This is Don Miguel Ruiz.

He's a Mexican shaman whose book has transformed millions of lives worldwide.

His message? There's one invisible habit that's silently destroying everything good in your life...

Here's how to identify it (& stop it from ruining your future): 🧵 Don Miguel wasn't always a spiritual teacher.

He was a neurosurgeon working alongside his brothers in Mexico.

But in the early 1970s, a near-fatal car accident changed everything...

It's the most underrated medicine on earth.

Modern science shows it can boost memory by 40%, sharpen focus, and calm anxiety—for less than a cup of coffee.

I spent weeks diving deep into Bacopa research.

What I found will blow your mind: 🧵 First, what is Bacopa Monnieri?

A wetland herb used in Ayurvedic medicine for 3,000+ years.

Ancient Vedic scholars used it to memorize sacred texts—some over 100,000 verses long.

They called it "medhya rasayana"—the brain tonic.

Here's why science is obsessed with it:

Your brain 'dies' without BDNF.

Without this protein, Alzheimer's accelerates 300%, you cannot form memories & depression risk skyrockets.

After 40, 50% is gone (& it won't regenerate alone).

Here's the science behind it & how to boost it naturally: 🧵 1. What is BDNF?

Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor is your brain's master growth protein.

It helps neurons survive, encourages growth of new brain cells, and strengthens synapses.

Think of it as "Miracle-Gro" for your brain.

Without it? Your neurons literally shrink and die.

Dr. Daniel Amen's debate with Stanford's Dr. Sejnowski just went viral.

Dr. Amen exposed the hidden brain damage that's already happening to millions of AI users.

99% still don't know about any of this...

Here are my top 8 takeaways:

(read this before using ChatGPT again) 1. The MIT Study Results

54 participants from Harvard and MIT were tested over 4 months.

ChatGPT users showed a 47% collapse in brain activity compared to unaided writing.

83% couldn't remember what they'd just written minutes later.

Ashwagandha is more than a stress supplement.

Used right, it also boosts testosterone, improves sleep, and sharpens your focus.

But 90% of people don't know how to use it correctly.

Here’s how to use Ashwagandha correctly (according to science): 🧵 Most people think ashwagandha is just another stress supplement.

But when researchers dug deeper they made a remarkable discovery...

The results were so impressive, they had to repeat the studies multiple times to believe them.

Chronic cortisol is the most dangerous hormone in your brain.

It destroys neurons permanently, accelerates cognitive decline, and
rewires your brain for anxiety and depression..

Here are 9 science-backed ways to lower it naturally:

1. NSDR (Non-Sleep Deep Rest)
This isn't meditation.

It's a guided relaxation that accesses theta brainwaves, the same state that promotes neuroplasticity.

Stanford research shows NSDR can reduce cortisol by 68% with consistent practice.

The most overused, oddly glorified, yet under-respected topic on the internet:

Awareness.

It’s why you're stressed, your relationships don’t stick, and feel exhausted all the time.

Here's what you should know about awareness (you won't believe its mind-blowing powers): 🧵
I was the poster child for unconscious living.

Investment banker, helped businesses raise $500+ million, distinguished degrees.

Had it all by society's standards.

But zero idea who I really was or why I was doing any of it.

Scientists just solved the workplace productivity crisis:

In 2025 most employees waste 70% of their mental capacity every single day.

But scientists discovered a 3-step formula that unlocks flow states.

Here's the protocol to rewire your workplace brain for superhuman focus:🧵 For decades, scientists understood something was broken.

The average office worker checks email every 6 minutes. Switches tasks 300+ times per day. Spends only 23% of their time in deep work.

But in 2024, neuroscientists at Drexel University made a breakthrough that changes everything...

The 3-Hour Rule is the No. 1 productivity technique.

It will reset your entire dopamine system, focus, and attention span while eliminating stress and overthinking.

It literally allows you to access flow on command.

Here's what it is, why it works, & how to master it: 🧵 Most people think more hours equals more output.

Science says the complete opposite.

Working 50+ hours per week actually makes you LESS productive. Your brain starts shutting down after the 50-hour mark.

But there's something even more counterintuitive...

The most powerful performance enhancer you've never heard of:

Rhodiola Rosea.

99% of people ignore it...

But this ancient root has been used for centuries to boost energy, sharpen focus, and fight stress naturally.

Here’s what it is, how it works, and how to use it correctly: 🧵

If your attention has been hijacked by the digital world, you need a reset.

After years of notifications, multitasking, and dopamine manipulation, it's forgotten how to focus deeply.

Here are 15 specific techniques to restore it completely:

1) Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR)
Ancient yogis discovered you could access theta brainwaves (sleep brainwaves) while awake.

This state between sleep and waking literally rewires your nervous system for sustained attention.

30 minutes of yoga nidra equals 4 hours of restorative sleep for your focus networks.

The most dangerous, oddly glorified, yet overlooked problem in the world:

Digital overstimulation.

It's why you're chronically stressed, depressed, and can't focus for more than 5 minutes.

Here's a science-backed protocol to escape the cold, dark prison of overstimulation: 🧵 You share the exact same brain as your hunter-gatherer ancestors.

That brain was designed to scan valleys for food. Get excited by finding berries.

But now? That dopamine system is hijacked by notifications.

Every ping triggers a dopamine release. You're chemically addicted.

Lion's Mane is the #1 brain optimization hack.

Navy SEALs, Olympic athletes, and Fortune 500 CEOs use it to enhance focus and gain a mental edge.

Here's how it works and the exact protocols for razor-sharp focus, memory, and bulletproof brain health:

Thread 🧵 Most people think Lion's Mane is just another trendy mushroom supplement.

They're wrong.

This white, shaggy fungus contains compounds that literally regrow your brain cells. And Buddhist monks have known this secret for centuries...

Big Pharma doesn't want you to know this...

Vitamin B deficiencies are causing poor focus, anxiety, and depression in millions of Americans.

Here's how Vitamin B affects your body and how to consume it (according to science): 🧵
B vitamins are water-soluble, which means you need them every single day.

But here's the problem: 92% of Americans have at least one vitamin deficiency.

And B vitamins? 20% of people over 60 are B12 deficient.

Most people under 40 don't even know they're running low.

He stopped checking his emails before 5 PM.

Then he wrote 4 bestsellers in 9 years.

Cal Newport's controversial take: Your notification addiction is literally rewiring your brain for mediocrity.

Here is his neuroscience-backed attention residue system for breaking free: 🧵 The average knowledge worker checks email every 6 minutes.

That's over 100 interruptions per day.

Research from UC Irvine revealed something shocking:

After each interruption, it takes 23 minutes to fully refocus.

Most people never reach peak cognitive performance.

Yogis don't rely on multiple cups of coffee.

Yet they have sharper focus, concentration, and longer attention spans than most Americans.

Their secret? It's not Adderall, energy drinks, or time-blocking.

Here are 8 practices yogis use to rewire the brain for superhuman focus:🧵 The average American's attention span?

8.25 seconds. That's literally less than a goldfish.

We check our phones 96 times per day and wonder why we can't focus.

But ancient yogis discovered something modern science is finally proving...

L-Theanine is nature's #1 antidote to your racing mind.

It reduces cortisol, sharpens your focus, and improves sleep.

But 90% of people take it wrong, missing out on 3x the benefits.

Here's how to use L-Theanine correctly (according to science): 🧵 First, let's destroy the biggest myth about L-Theanine.

Mistake #1: It's just "green tea extract" that makes you sleepy.

But L-Theanine actually creates something called "calm alertness." A state where your mind is focused but relaxed.

But here's the problem...

Everyone over 40 blames aging for their poor focus and brain fog.

Turns out it's not age...

It's years of poor choices and neglect catching up.

The good news? It can be fixed...

Here are 8 simple ways to rescue your brain and think like you're 25 again: 🧵 First, why does your brain feel so sluggish?

I know how frustrating it is. But trust me, your brain is not broken.

It's just running on bad fuel and poor maintenance.

Your brain needs specific inputs to function at peak performance.

Here's how to fix it:
