28 Olympic Medals.

A system used for 15 years that transformed a hyperactive kid into the greatest athlete in Olympic history.

Here's the unorthodox practices that won 23 Gold Medals: 🧵
The world watched in awe as Phelps did the impossible.

Not just winning, but dominating every single race.

The system so demanding, it would break most Olympic athletes.

At 57, Kazuyoshi Miura is the oldest active player in history

He just signed another contract.

He'll play until he's 80.

What he's doing to defy aging will completely change how you think about what is possible for you:
In 1986, a young Japanese player landed in Brazil with a dream.

He couldn't speak Portuguese. Had no connections. Just raw determination.

That player was Kazuyoshi Miura, and he was about to embark on a journey that would rewrite sports history:

This is Tom Cruise.

He's 62 and still scaling buildings, jumping out of planes, and pulling off the craziest stunts in Hollywood.

His secret? An age-defying fitness regime that keeps him young.

Let's break it down: 🧵
Most actors use stunt doubles for dangerous scenes.

Not Tom Cruise.

At an age when most are planning retirement, he's hanging off planes, performing HALO jumps, and scaling the world's tallest building.

Here's what's fascinating about his approach:

Think your training session is intense?

Then check out Bruce Lee's insane training routines.

Here are his 7 principles that made him unbeatable and redefined martial arts forever.

The ultimate guide to superhuman strength (bookmark this): 🧵
Most people train traditionally.

They isolate muscles and focus only on physical training.

But Bruce Lee discovered a better way.

One that made him faster, more fluid, and more powerful.

Let's break down the principles that revolutionized his training:

At 122 years old, she became the oldest documented human in history.

At 85, she started a hobby in combat sports.

Scientists studied her case for decades.

This is Jeanne Calment's blueprint for extending life: 🧵
Jeanne Calment was born in 1875, when the average person didn't live past 45, passing away in 1997.

She was around when the Eiffel tower was being built and in a time where Wi-Fi existed.

But what she did at 85 would reshape our understanding of aging:

This is Dr. Andrew Huberman.

After 12 years at Stanford, he discovered why motivation and caffeine are myths.

You don't need pre-workouts or 'beast mode' music.

Here's his method for doubling endurance & strength without losing gains: Most people think peak performance comes from:

• Pre-workout supplements
• Pushing through pain
• Motivational videos

But after decades of research at Stanford, Dr. Huberman discovered why this approach fails:

Fitness trends from the good ol days 🧵

1. Jazzercise (1980s)

Neon leggings, leg warmers, and music. 2. Tae Bo (1990s)

A punchy combo of taekwondo and boxing.

This is Wesley Okerson.

He trained Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler into action-hero form with his 'Low Impact Training' style.

Now, he’s using the same method to get Jeff Bezos in the best shape of his life at 60.

Here’s how it works:
Before training Bezos, Okerson was already a legend.

He transformed Tom Cruise and Gerard Butler.

But his biggest challenge emerged when he started working with aging clients who wanted results without destroying their bodies.

Here's what he discovered:

At 122 years old, she became the oldest documented human in history.

At 85, when most people her age stayed at home, she started combat sports.

Scientists studied her case for decades, desperate to understand how.

These are the most dangerous warriors on Earth.

They can fall asleep anytime—even in the middle of combat or sitting upright.

Their secret? A 2-minute mental technique from WW2 that triggers REM sleep on command.

Here’s how the Navy SEALs hack their brains for instant deep sleep (try this tonight): About 1 in 3 Americans struggle with insomnia symptoms.

Most turn to sleep pills, apps, or melatonin.

But these create dependency and don't actually solve the problem.

Navy SEALs found something better...

Americans are actively trying to lose weight.

And they gain it back despite making temporary improvements.

This Harvard anthropologist say's he knows exactly why.

Here are 7 metabolism myths keeping you fat (#4 will surprise you): 🧵
Dr. Herman Pontzer is an anthropologist & metabolism researcher.

For one of his studies, he worked with hunter-gatherers––a Tanzanian tribe known for walking 10+ miles/day.

What he discovered completely changed our understanding of human metabolism.

Here are the 7 findings:

Check for this small mark on your earlobe:

It's called Frank's sign.

And it's the biggest mystery in modern science.

Studies found it can predict future heart attacks or coronary disease.

Here's everything you need to know (and 6 things you can do to about it): 🧵
Frank's sign is a small diagonal crease on your earlobe.

A doctor named Sanders Frank spotted it in 1973 in patients with heart disease.

Since then, more studies found it could predict heart disease––sometimes even better than high cholesterol.

But here's the weird part:

Everyone thinks cardio is the best way to lose weight.

But this is a lie.

Here are 5 exercises to burn fat quicker (and build muscle at the same time): 🧵 Recent studies show some interesting findings:

Activities like running, biking, and swimming help your heart.

But they don't work as well for losing weight.

Here's what the science says:

8 weird (healthy) foods from around the world 🧵

1. Thousand-year egg (China) These eggs are preserved using clay, ash, and lime for weeks (sometimes months).

Yes––they're not 1,000 years old, but they're:

• Great for fighting inflammation
• High in vitamin D
• Super easy to digest

With a creamy, cheese-like texture that you either love or hate.

Japan has one of the lowest heart disease rates in the world.

Almost 4x lower than America.

Their secret? A natural enzime in their diet that reduces arterial plaque, increases blood flow, and lowers the risk of stroke.

Here’s everything you need to know about Nattokinase:
First, what is Nattokinase?

It's an enzime that comes from natto—a Japanese food made from fermented soybeans.

People in Japan have been eating it for over 1000 years, but scientists only discovered its benefits in 1987.

Here's what makes it so powerful:

Fasting can transform your body.

But there's a dark side nobody talks about:

This leads to tears and strains—the exact injuries you're trying to avoid.

Studies found this type of stretching hurts you more than it helps.

Fixing early signs of fatty liver can prevent insulin resistance, weight gain, and even heart disease before it starts.

Most people have no symptoms until it's too late.

That ends today.

Here are 7 ways to reverse fatty liver early (bookmark this): 🧵 Fatty liver happens when fat builds up in your liver cells.

Nearly 1 in 3 adults worldwide has it.

And it’s often caused by processed foods, sugar, and low activity.

Here's why it gets dangerous:

Sleep apnea is the most underrated brain killer in the world.

It disrupts deep sleep cycles, interrupts oxygen flow, and TRIPLES your risk of dementia.

Most people never know they have it.

Here's a 3-step breathing technique to fight it naturally: 🧵 Sleep apnea happens when your breathing starts and stops while you sleep.

When this happens, oxygen levels drop, your brain starves, and toxic proteins start building up (beta-amyloid).

This can happen hundreds of times per night.

And it can lead to serious brain damage...

Everyone thinks losing weight means eating less.

But this is a lie.

Here are 9 foods that keep you full and help you lose weight at the same time:

Even when both groups ate the same number of calories.

We've all heard about microplastics.

But few know about its more toxic derivative:

Nanoplastics.

Scientists say they can reach human blood, cells, and even unborn babies.

Here are 7 ways to protect yourself (bookmark this): 🧵
Nanoplastics are plastic particles smaller than 1 micron wide.

That's 1/1,000th the width of a human hair.

Unlike microplastics, these are way smaller and can penetrate almost every biological barrier in your body.

That's exactly what makes them so dangerous...
