Fix your life by fixing your face
Thumbpulling won’t do anything for maxillary expansion. Complete cope and actually dangerous. You cannot split the midpalatal suture by pushing on your gums with your thumbs (it’s like thinking you will grow by doing Maasai jumps). In adults and even in late teens these sutures are fused, you need a bone borne expander drilled directly into the palatal bone, that generates constant high forces to split the midpalatal suture, and disarticulate the circummaxillary sutures. That’s why bone borne expanders like MARPE, FME and MSE exist. What thumbpulling replicates is tooth borne expanders mechanic, same principle as AGGA appliance, one of the biggest scandals in modern orthodontics where people have lost their teeth. Tooth borne forces don’t move bone, they tip teeth and cause bone resorption on the alveolar bone. The shameless grifter Jester Patel @OscarPatel promoting this to people trying to fix their airway and facial structure is real harm. People need to stop promoting this nonsense especially big names like @paulsaladinomd This is what actual bone borne expansion can do :

Natural looksmaxing that actually has some science: - Mastic gum → jaw muscle hypertrophy - 8-9 hrs sleep - Morning sunlight (red/IR) + moderate midday (Vit D) - Red meat + eggs (K2, choline, fat-sol vitamins for jaw/height) - 50 pull-ups/day + heavy lifting - Grass-fed tallow skincare - Mouth taping/ nasal breathing - Thumbpulling (mixed anecdotal results) What did I miss? Science: mastic gum: PMID: 39215439, 32589302 sleep: PMID: 3001961, 34971928 red/IR/UV: PMID: 15585788, 32464190 red meat/eggs: PMID: 8018065, 33030563, 31082506 pull-ups: PMID: 27842938 duh tallow skin care: PMID: 38910727 mouth taping: thumbpulling: we’ll see
basically my 8 years of Peating condensed into 1 hour: it covers: - why being fat is a symptom, not the problem - the 3 bottlenecks keeping you average - how to eat more and lose fat by upgrading metabolic throughput - why TRT skips the most important step - the exact foods, supplements, training split & tools I use - how to build the identity and systems that make it stick it's a bit long so i recommend kicking back or listening to it in the gym. youtube.com/watch?v=1wYyDN…
If Spain practiced eugenics this would be their ethnically appropriate outcome
The best thing I ever did was reclaim the enthusiasm and energy I had as a kid and now people think I do cocaine
