How are you doing?</p>
<p>Here are some of the most beneficial yet controversial health tips.</p>
<p>DISCLOSURE: I AM NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR.</p>
<h4 id="1-literally-everything-popular-is-wrong">1. Literally everything popular is wrong.</h4>
<p>The exact opposite is true e.g. salt, sugar, red meat, complex carbs, water intake, etc etc. (I will explain more)</p>
<h4 id="2-theres-nothing-more-unhealthy-than-caring-too-much-about-your-health">2. There’s nothing more unhealthy than caring too much about your health</h4>
<h4 id="3-slow-metabolism--unhealthy">3. Slow metabolism = unhealthy.</h4>
<p>Here are common things that slow down metabolism: PUFA(“Vegetable” Seed Oils), Blue light, Routine, Gut irritants/endotoxin (Mostly from vegetables and grains), Estrogen, BPA / Plastics, Anger / Stress, Sedentary lifestyle, Poor sleep, Excessive endurance exercise / Frequent long-distance running</p>
<h4 id="4-disease-often-starts-in-the-gut-via-endotoxin-production-and-inflammation">4. Disease often starts in the gut via endotoxin production and inflammation.</h4>
<p>This leads to a cascade of increased stress, lower metabolism, a shift to aerobic glycolysis, and decreased protective hormones. Cutting gut irritants is a powerful way to improve health.</p>
<h4 id="5-seedvegetable-oils-are-the-major-cause-of-disease-today">5. Seed(vegetable) oils are the major cause of disease today.</h4>
<p>They are hidden in everything. All restaurants cook with them. Cook with tallow, lard, suet, ghee, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil, or butter instead. Avoid packaged food.</p>
<h4 id="6-vegan-diets-kill-more-animals-than-a-grass-fed-carnivore-diet">6. Vegan diets kill more animals than a grass-fed carnivore diet</h4>
<h4 id="7-carbohydrates-are-essential-for-brain-adrenals-youth-hormones-thyroid-and-gut-health">7. Carbohydrates are essential for brain, adrenals, youth hormones, thyroid, and gut health.</h4>
<h4 id="8-steak-is-a-superfood">8. Steak is a superfood.</h4>
<p>Easily digestible protein, highly nutritious, loaded with bioactive like taurine, carnitine, carnosine, creatine, and anserine that you can&rsquo;t get elsewhere. It needs to be a dietary staple.</p>
<h4 id="9-do-not-drink-tap-water">9. Do not drink tap water.</h4>
<p>Do not shower in tap water. Tap water is incredibly toxic. Use a filter.</p>
<h4 id="10-vegetables-are-not-healthy-foods">10. Vegetables are not healthy foods.</h4>
<p>Most have very few nutrients and are loaded with pesticides and gut irritants.</p>
<h4 id="11-most-nuts-and-grains-arent-healthy">11. Most nuts and grains aren’t healthy.</h4>
<p>Most are loaded with omega 6 and compounds that irritate your gut like lectins(nuts) and gluten(wheat)</p>
<h4 id="12-salt-is-very-important-and-you-are-likely-taking-too-little">12. Salt is very important and you are likely taking too little.</h4>
<p>It’s a master electrocyte and helps control other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium</p>
<h4 id="13-arbitrary-water-limits-and-the-general-advice-to-chug-water-is-terrible">13. Arbitrary water limits and the general advice to chug water is terrible.</h4>
<p>Thirst is an evolutionary conserved mechanism to regulate hydration and mineral balance. Excess water dilutes sodium and causes stress. Drink when thirsty</p>
<h4 id="14-soy-is-bad-especially-for-men-as-it-lowers-testosterone-and-destroys-sperms">14. Soy is bad especially for men as it lowers testosterone and destroys sperms.</h4>
<h4 id="15-pay-the-farmer-now-or-the-doctor-later">15. Pay the farmer now or the doctor later.</h4>
<p>Pay up for quality food. It will make you more money now and save you more money later.</p>
<h4 id="16-progesterone-is-the-real-female-hormone-not-estrogen">16. Progesterone is the real female hormone, not estrogen.</h4>
<p>Incredibly protective, stabilizing, anti-cancer, pro-GABA, mood-boosting, metabolism increasing. It is produced in the 2nd half of a Women’s cycle, but due to excessive birth control usage, most women have low progesterone to estrogen.</p>
<h4 id="17-walking-is-strong-medicine">17. Walking is strong medicine.</h4>
<p>Helps with hormonal function, energy levels, digestion, mood, and lymphatic circulation. Walk in the sun every AM barefoot.</p>
<h4 id="18-moving-out-of-a-city-and-quitting-the-job-you-hate-are-the-two-most-underrated-ways-to-improve-health">18. Moving out of a city and quitting the job you hate are the two most underrated ways to improve health.</h4>
<h4 id="19-dht-doesnt-cause-hair-loss-stress-estrogen-calcification-low-thyroid-and-nutrient-deficiencies-do">19. DHT doesn’t cause hair loss. Stress, estrogen, calcification, low thyroid, and nutrient deficiencies do.</h4>
<h4 id="20-plastic-is-poison-bpa-free-means-nothing">20. Plastic is poison. BPA-free means nothing.</h4>
<h4 id="21-parabens-and-phalates-are-toxic-avoid-them">21. Parabens and Phalates are toxic. Avoid them.</h4>
<h4 id="22-have-fun">22. Have fun.</h4>
<p>Constructively that is. Find a hobby you like that gives other people value and do it to your heart’s content. In fact, make it your job. As long as you have fun, you’ll be great.</p>
<h4 id="23-sun-your-genitals">23. Sun your genitals.</h4>
<h4 id="24-beef-liver-is-essential">24. Beef liver is essential.</h4>
<p>It is loaded with b vitamins you can’t get elsewhere. Vit A &amp; copper work together to produce ceruloplasmin the master antioxidant w. delivers copper to cells to generate ATP. Vitamin A is required for hormone synthesis, skin health, immune function, etc. It’s tough to be at your optimal health without eating beef liver.</p>
<h4 id="25-eat-only-when-you-are-hungry-but-because-modernity-has-destroyed-most-of-our-senses">25. Eat only when you are hungry but because modernity has destroyed most of our senses.</h4>
<p>Try eating 2 meals a day then move to one meal a day. Trust me, if you load this 1 meal with grass-fed meat, eggs, complex carbohydrates e.g tubers, saturated fat, and a bit of vegetable. You’ll be fuller and feel great.</p>
<h4 id="26-your-stomach-acid-is-supposed-to-be-highly-acidic">26. Your stomach acid is supposed to be highly acidic.</h4>
<p>Not basic not neutral. There’s a reason some of us are incapable of drinking milk. Increase its acidity by eating the right foods and fasting(IF, 2MAD, OMAD).</p>
<h4 id="27-if-your-great-grandparents-never-ate-it-then-its-probably-not-healthy">27. If your great grandparents never ate it then it&rsquo;s probably not healthy.</h4>
<h4 id="28-a-long-walk-a-day-will-keep-depression-at-bay">28. A long walk a day will keep depression at bay</h4>
<p>And that’s it for today. Remember: none of this is medical advice. Kindly experiment and see if these changes lead to a positive impact. Of which I can vouch that they do.</p>
