90% of health conditions can be significantly improved by:

@zoeharcombe I wonder if the perspective is still off. Maybe it’s a simple as “higher LDL is either a good thing or irrelevant, so it’s logical (or irrelevant) it goes up when eating healthily”

The latest research looking at rises in LDL-C on a keto diet... There is astonishingly little evidence and it's not only lean people... 🤔

Who still prefer reading physical books over screens?

@readswithravi Mindset by Carol Dweck

What’s one book that you will never stop recommending?

@SBakerMD Perhaps the average ultra runner eats an extreme amount of carbs, including pasta etc

Kind of an interesting observation, generally you’d expect exercise to be protective against cancer -maybe other lifestyle variables involved?

@BenBikmanPhD I think I have to push back… stress might be more challenging and complex to support each person with, yet stating “there is little a person can do about it” doesn’t match my experience at all - we can help ANYONE with stress

Stress (that is, the hormones associated with it: cortisol and epinephrine) is a cardinal cause of insulin resistance. It's capable of causing insulin resistance indpendently of other variables. Some have asked me why I don't focus on stress as much as I do other causes, such as and most especially chronically elevated insulin. I don't focus on stress because there's often so little a person can do about it. If stress is a lever that influences insulin resistance, it's a slippery one--it's just so difficult to understand what's driving the elevated stress hormones and, thus, difficult to change it.

I think this is true in addition to my previous repost! #opposingideas

Love them as they are, always ❤️

@KurtKurtking @FreeSpeechGr8 @JakePearson303 Really happy it’s working for you

@TheNotDoc @FreeSpeechGr8 @JakePearson303 Where I live on the edge of the Nantahala NF it’s the land of (dappled) midday sun and none hits my skin. I’ve been supplementing 5K IU D3 for 10+ y and my blood level is about 50 ng/ml, so no colds in 5+ y (or D toxicity).

Losing your edge? Low energy? They tell you it's "just part of getting older." That's a lie designed to sell you a lifetime of prescriptions. They're gaslighting your prime. The truth? It might just be a nutrient deficiency they refuse to look for: D3 & K2. 1. The "It's Normal" Lie. The most profitable lie in medicine is that your decline is inevitable. Feeling tired, weak, and foggy in your 40s isn't "normal." It's a symptom. But they'd rather sell you a drug to mask it than a solution to fix it. 2. What is Vitamin D3 with K2? They are the foundational nutrients for male vitality. D3 is the spark plug for testosterone and energy. K2 is the protector of your heart and bones. A deficiency isn't "aging"; it's a reversible problem. 3. The Willful Ignorance. Why don't they test for D3 deficiency first? Because a bottle of vitamins is a one-time purchase. A lifetime of statins, antidepressants, and erectile dysfunction medication is an annuity. Your ignorance is their business strategy. 4. Reclaim Your Prime: · Support your body's own testosterone production. · Protect your cardiovascular system for the long haul. · Restore the energy and drive you thought you lost. · Build a strong, resilient frame for a life of action. If you want a high-potency D3 with K2 formula, this is the one I recommend. 180 chewable cherry-flavored tablets, third-party tested for potency: amazon.com/dp/B01FKPHD40?… 5. Testosterone. Don't let them tell you low T is just a number for your age. It's the source of your vitality. Optimizing your D3 levels is the first, most critical step to ensuring you stay in the game, and not on the sidelines. 6. Cardiovascular Health. They won't talk about arterial health until it's a problem. The D3+K2 synergy is a proactive defense, keeping your arteries flexible and clear. It's about preventing the fire, not just selling you fire extinguishers. 7. Sexual Health. A decline in sexual health is not an inevitable part of aging; it's a sign of systemic issues. By supporting blood flow and hormonal health, D3 and K2 address the foundation of male performance. 8. Bone Strength. They wait until you have a problem to talk about bone health. As a man, your bone density is your armor. D3 and K2 keep that armor strong, so you can continue to live a hard-charging life. 9. A Daily Act of Defiance. Take 1 chewable tablet daily. Every time you do, you're rejecting their narrative of decline. You're choosing strength. You're refusing to be gaslit. 10. The Side Effect is Vitality. The side effect of their narrative is a slow fade into irrelevance. The side effect of taking back control is vitality, strength, and the power to live your prime to its absolute fullest. Here is the same premium D3 with K2 I recommend: amazon.com/dp/B01FKPHD40?… Transparency note: this thread contains affiliate links; I may earn a commission (no extra cost to you). This is for educational purposes and is not medical advice. Always consult with your clinician before changing your routine. The bottom line: you may not need another prescription. You might just need the foundational nutrients your body has been demanding to maintain testosterone, protect your heart, and keep your bones strong. It's been here all along. If this was helpful, share it. Your vitality and your strength matter. Follow @JakePearson303 for more real talk on men's health. Repost so more men can see this.

@prairiecat55 @SamaHoole Eggs and beef are a good step

@SamaHoole I don't like fish. Some whitefish is ok but in general, I don't like it. Also don't eat organ meats. Suggestions on replacement foods?

Fish oil capsules are the most aggressively oxidised industrial fat ever sold to a human being as a health supplement, and we have somehow agreed, as a culture, to pretend this is fine. The omega-3 fats in fish oil are the most chemically unstable fats in nature. Light, heat, oxygen. Any of the three starts the reaction. The fish keeps those fats sealed inside cell membranes, shielded by its own antioxidant system, kept cold and dark by living tissue doing its job. The supermarket capsule offers none of that. By the time you crack one open, the contents have travelled through a Peruvian processing plant, a shipping container, a warehouse, a supermarket shelf, and your kitchen cupboard. Every step of the journey is the precise set of conditions the fish spent its entire life protecting those fats from. What comes out the other end is a slurry of oxidation byproducts. Lipid peroxides. Malondialdehyde. 4-hydroxynonenal. Compounds that damage DNA, drive inflammation, and have been linked in the literature to atherosclerosis, neurodegeneration, and the very cardiovascular outcomes the capsule was sold to prevent. Independent labs have repeatedly tested supermarket fish oil and found peroxide values that would not legally pass for human consumption in any other category of food. You are paying a premium for a Petri dish. Eat the fish.

@TomDanek @SamaHoole All types as long as wild caught, and the more the better IMO. Red meat, eggs and fish are the basis of human food needs as I see it

@SamaHoole I can’t find a consensus on how much/ what kinds of fish to eat.

@TheViewUpHere26 @thehealthb0t My LDL is 450, total 550, and I’m about as healthy as one can be

I am having this fight, myself. If I take Niacin, consistently, I can drop my totals core to around 190-200. If I don't it shoots up to 280-290. So I try and split the baby, and take Niacin every other day. I don't know who is right If you told me high cholesterol fear is just another Big Pharma Psy-Op, I'd say "Probably"

The secret to living to 100? HIGH CHOLESTEROL A massive Swedish study tracking over 800,000 people for 35 years just revealed: Every single centenarian had HIGH total cholesterol. The higher your LDL, the longer you live.

@speakfreetruth @thehealthb0t I believe that the cholesterol thing is a myth. He likely needs low carb, more meat, fish and eggs, no meds, more salt, much more sun, grounding, less artificial light, less toxins and EMFs, more electrolytes, walking and building muscle

So what actually causes the plaque build up in the arteries?? My 45 yr old son had a stent placed due to build up. Told high cholesterol, high blood pressure and too much salt is the issue. Cholesterol has come down with diet and removed from that medicine within 3 months but they want to keep him on statins and the BP meds. I want alternatives, he's willing to try but where does one start?

@GeorgeSliv7329 @matthewbaszucki You seem to have jumped to a new topic

@TheNotDoc @matthewbaszucki

I eat the same meal every single day. A ribeye, eight eggs, and beef tallow. Around 3,100 calories. 263 grams of fat. 186 grams of protein. 3 grams of carbs from the eggs. My ketones stay between 1 and 4.5 millimolar. My mood is stable. I haven't had a manic episode in years. I've been on a strict ketogenic or carnivore diet for over five years. People ask if I miss food. I miss having a manic episode less.

@pepe_btc @matthewbaszucki Is likely to be zero… completely clear

@matthewbaszucki Get a coronary CT angiogram to measure your soft plaque. Thank me later.

@Chatterbox4710 @matthewbaszucki You probably needed electrolytes and more food

@matthewbaszucki Do you get too cold in winter? That and leg cramps put me off keto.

@SmilemoreFL @matthewbaszucki Ground beef instead of the ribeye - then that meal can be $4-10 in the US

@matthewbaszucki How do you afford that? I would love for everyone my house to eat like that! But impossible! 💰

@BurghBrain @matthewbaszucki The only cholesterol numbers worth looking at IMO are HDL (you want it high) and triglycerides (low if good)… I’d bet money that Matthew’s are awesome

@matthewbaszucki Just monitor that cholesterol and be sure your genetic markers for heart disease.

@GeorgeSliv7329 @matthewbaszucki Don’t rely on AI or Google for your health advice

@matthewbaszucki I’m sure you think about a lot of things less!

High HDL and low triglycerides are all we should usually look at as far as “judging” good health from cholesterol tests IMO ❤️

Every single thing I do is a choice…
