Throw away your sunglasses. ASAP.
Sunglasses ruin our health.
And no doctor is willing to talk about it.
They may look cool, but they hurt your vitality beyond what you could imagine.
By the end of this thread, you will want to throw yours in the garbage 🧵
The sunglasses industry is valued at $24 Billion and is set to almost double in the next decade.
There is infinite money being made selling a product that is quite detrimental to our health.
Pushed by doctors, models, and more, the industry may mean well, but is a true problem.

SALT
One of the most misunderstood substances in the world.
Doctors preach avoidance at all costs. But what if there was more to it?
Salt can be both an incredible resource and a dangerous killer.
This is the BIBLE OF SALT 🧵
You have probably been told to reduce your salt intake before.
This is a common direction that has been given by doctors for decades to reduce the risk of a “catastrophic” event.
While this MAY work to reduce catastrophe, it also deprives the body of something that it craves.

Raw honey is one of the most powerful natural performance enhancers on the planet.
And also, one of the most underutilized…
This is why you should be eating it before everything you do (🧵)
You can’t expect to perform at your peak without properly fueling your body.
A lot of people think this means loading up on preworkouts, energy drinks, and/or other stimulants until your face tingles.

Chocolate is one of the most polarizing foods on the planet.
Some reckon it’s a death trap in a single bite.
Others believe it’s an ancient food with incredible power.
It’s time to set the record straight on chocolate, once and for all.
I present to you, the Chocolate Bible🧵
Chocolate is delicious.
There is no denying that.
A nice rich, creamy, delicious square can turn your whole day around.
But it is a superfood, or will it lead you to an early grave?
And, if you are to consume chocolate, which type is best?

These days, seed oils are everywhere.
From the grocery store to your favorite restaurant, at times it can feel impossible to rid these toxic additives from your diet.
However, when you know what to look for, it can absolutely be done.
Here’s how to avoid seed oils for good 🧵
I’m operating on the assumption that everyone here is already aware of the negative health effects of seed oils.
But if this is a foreign concept to you, here’s a thread I wrote a while back that will get you up to speed:
Random daily items you would never think about can be detrimental to your health.
These are the 10 worst modern items for our health (that you likely use every day) and what to use instead 🧵
I am going to avoid the classic answers here like the “smartphone”, “seed oils”, and traditional “sunblock”.
We are going to be diving deeper than that here into things that people would be less likely to know are bad for them.

Joints shouldn’t hurt.
Simple as that.
Chronic joint pain used to be reserved for the elderly but now is common for people in their 30s, 20s, and below.
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This is how to avoid (and prevent) joint pain and injuries 🧵
When you look up (or ask a doctor) how to get rid of pain, the answers are as follows:
-Rest
-Ice and heat
-Drugs
These solutions are terrible. But this is typically how it goes 🔽

“Honey is just liquid sugar”
I’d bet you have heard that ignorant statement before.
It is wrong.
Raw honey is a peak superfood on the planet.
Here are the top 20 reasons why it is so much more than “just liquid sugar.” Honey is everything.20. The Brain
Honey has been found to increase both memory and cognition.
Beyond that, it has neuroprotective effects so, in the age of brain depletion, I will be sure to continue consuming honey at all costs.

Cinnamon is magic.
Its powers are so healthy you would hardly believe it.
But 95% of Cinnamon in the United States is a cheap knockoff from China and Indonesia.
And it is potentially dangerous.
Here are the many benefits of Cinnamon and how to be sure you get the good stuff🧵
I have previously spoken about Cinnamon at length but, since then, even more amazing research has come to my attention.
This will be my most in-depth thread ever about cinnamon's benefits and how to ensure you are avoiding the knockoffs.

High-quality sleep is the most underutilized PED on earth.
No pharmaceutical drug will ever come close to replicating its effects.
However, 85%+ of adults are not getting it on a regular basis.
Here’s how to become a professional sleeper.
I present: The Sleep Bible 🌜📖
Imagine a pill that could reduce your risk of all-cause mortality by 30%, increase your muscle growth, boost your immune system, decrease your stress, and enhance your cognitive performance by 20-30%.

Food and exercise.
Everyone thinks that to burn fat, it always comes down to what you eat and how you exercise.
What if that is not the case?
Here are some surprising reasons why you aren’t your leanest, and how to fix them to burn that body fat 🧵1. Artificial Light
Artificial light, particularly blue light after sunset, suppresses melatonin production.
Low melatonin leads to sleep issues, which is bad for our metabolism, but it also leads to elevated cortisol.

Modern lighting is as toxic as modern food.
It makes us fat, sick, sad, blind, & more.
What’s worse is that those in power made a change that is now forcing us to use it, against our will.
Here are the problems with modern lighting, and what you should do and use instead 🧵
About a year ago, the Biden administration passed a regulation that made it so that incandescent bulbs could no longer be produced or sold in the United States.
This was done to make way for LEDs and bring down energy costs and impact nationwide.

1 in 36 8-year-olds in the United States have autism.
That number is astoundingly large and up from 1 in 10,000 in 1970.
Why is this happening?
I took a very deep dive into dozens of studies to figure out exactly that, along with how to move the odds more in your favor🧵
Let me be clear.
I believe that financially and emotionally supporting children and adults on the spectrum is, of course, what we should be doing. They deserve love and support.
With that said, this is a very expensive and difficult journey.
Here is what I am doing to fight it

NOTHING frustrates me more than pasteurized honey.
Raw honey is liquid gold. Pasteurized honey is liquid garbage.
Here's what happens to honey when it is pasteurized 🔽1. Enzymes
Raw honey is packed with enzymes that help break down starches, digest sugars, protect from oxidative damage, break down proteins, digest nutrients, and so much more.
When honey is pasteurized, these enzymes are denatured, taking away many of honey's benefits.

“Height is genetic”
That is what you’ve been taught to believe, but it is not completely right.
Here is what you should be doing to maximize the height of your children (It starts far before you have kids).
Medical professionals tell parents that the height of their child is predetermined by the height of the parents.
While genetics play a large factor, they are not everything and there are things that can be done to ensure a child reaches their height potential.

Last week, RFK touched on the problem of excess estrogen in our society.
He couldn’t have been more right.
Estrogen ruins our quality of life and eventually kills us. Both genders.
Here is the problem with estrogen, why it is hard to avoid, and how you can fight back 🧵
Estrogen, when balanced, is an extremely important hormone for both women and men.
It regulates menstrual health in women, and libido, fat distribution, cardiovascular health, and so much more in both genders.
It is essential.
The problem is when it is in excess.

Today, most foods we see on the store shelf are highly processed and generally unhealthy.
But it wasn’t always this way.
This is how big tobacco infiltrated the food industry and manipulated an entire nation’s views health and nutrition.
…And how it’s still happening today 🧵
In the 1970’s and 80’s major tobacco companies began to face increased regulatory and legal challenges as awareness of the negative health effects of cigarettes became more widespread.

Acne is commonplace.
“It’s part of growing up”
But it shouldn’t exist at all.
Isolated, non-westernized societies are proven to have zero acne.
This is how you can follow their lead and have perfect skin without dermatologists (and their dangerous chemicals)
Almost 95% of adolescents get acne, and almost half of those over 25 have acne deeper into adulthood.
But acne simply shouldn't exist. It is a product of our modern society.
And, if careful, it can be avoided.

Humans have existed for a few hundred thousand years.
Chemicals have existed for a few decades.
Almost every single modern health issue can be traced back to our chemical usage.
Here is what you and your loved ones must do to survive and thrive in this modern chemical world🧵
Before the Industrial Revolution, chemicals were few and far between.
Ever since the start of the revolution, we have been producing them at an unbelievable rate.
And our health is suffering.
Infertility, cancers, organ damage, birth defects, developmental disorders.
“Grab some ice and Advil and bring the inflammation down”
Terrible advice.
Avoid ice at all costs (besides one specific situation). Here is what you should do instead 🧵
In 1987, Gabe Mirkin coined the term R.I.C.E., which stands for:
Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation.
Since then, almost everyone has treated injuries exactly this way.
But it is wrong. And it has ruined countless body parts.

Humans don’t need braces.
Industrialization, modern diet, and social shifts have killed the average person’s ability to develop a strong jaw and straight teeth.
Here is how to raise your child with a healthy jaw and perfect teeth without an orthodontist (& how to fix yours)🧵
If you went back before the mid-18th century and asked to see an orthodontist, people would have no idea what you were talking about.
They didn’t exist
We simply did not need them. Until the last couple hundred of years, our teeth were perfect. Naturally.
