An hour of putting bare feet on the ground rapidly improves gut function.
‣ Increased blood and lymph flow to the gut
‣ Potent anti-stress effects
‣ Improved gut motility
‣ Restores blood flow to the diaphragm, involved in stomach acid + digestive enzyme secretion
A great story here of 73 year old Joan Macdonald who has completely changed her health & physical function by consistent engagement in strength training for the last 3 years!
When will this ‘treatment’ be the norm for our ageing population?

Ladies, if you’re feeling puffy it’s usually from excess cortisol, adrenaline and estrogen.
You don’t need to workout more or do Barry’s boot camp.
You need to lower stress, stop fasting, get sunlight, eat beef liver for vit A, hydrate (with electrolytes) and eat fruit.
What impairs the metabolism of the eye that results in this oxidation, that ultimately causes eye floaters?
One big one is BLUE LIGHT.
It literally destroys the mitochondria of the retinal pigment epithelium.
Good thing we’re all in blue light and staring at screens 24/7!
This is crazy.
UV light does not cause cancer - seed oils do.
Mice who were fed corn oil got skin cancer from UV light exposure. Those fed saturated fat in its place were COMPLETELY protected from cancer.
Saturated fats + sunlight = health.
Acne/Eczema = Leaky Gut
Chronic Fatigue = Leaky gut
Food Sensitivities = Leaky Gut
Autoimmune diseases = Leaky Gut
Constant Digestive issues= Leaky Gut
It all starts & ends with your gut
1/5 Are pharmaceutical companies aware that Mycotoxins (Statins) can cause cancer ? Of course they are. Do they tell the FDA or the MHRA that drugs, such as Statins are fungal toxins ? No, they don’t. Instead, they promote Statin drugs as “secondary fungal metabolites”. /2
Serotonin is NOT the “happy hormone” as many were led to believe.
In the metabolic view, serotonin can really be seen as the “hibernation hormone” that lowers energy under stress.
Serotonin rises with cortisol and estrogen which all impair metabolism.
Serotonin oppose thyroid
8 "normal" symptoms of metabolic or gut dysfunction:
1. Water retention / love handles
2. Foamy urine
3. Low appetite in the morning
4. Waking up in the middle of the night
5. Not dreaming
6. Bad breath
7. Coated tongue
8. Eye floaters
The importance of Vitamin D for aging, in a picture.
Top: 4.5 months old, Bottom: 8.5 months old.
Left: Mouse lacking the Vitamin D receptor.
Right: Normal mouse.
Vitamin D deficiency -> rapid aging.
Zinc low, copper HIGH in chronic fatigue / pain.
Excess copper can:
• Increase estrogen
• Drive inflammation
• Cause oxidative stress
contributing to fibromyalgia - zinc opposes these functions.
Zinc supplementation can help - would not focus on lowering dietary copper
A University of San Diego study found that it’s the micronutrient composition of a diet (vitamins,minerals), not calories, that influences hunger & satiety. Choose nutrient-dense foods. In other words, your day shouldn't start w/a breakfast foods like these!

The ubiquitous chemicals that are taking over society as we know it
How estrogen went from carcinogen and stress hormone, to female hormone and Pharma cash cow:
Vitamin K protects the brain from mercury poisoning.
It nearly completely prevented neuron death after exposure to it.
K2 is also being implicated for:
‣ MS
‣ Alzheimer's
‣ Parkinson's
‣ Migraine
as a cardinal neuroprotective agent.
Urushi lacquer is one of the strongest organic craft materials ever developed. It doesn't react with chemicals and is waterproof, repels mold and mildew, prevents rotting and weathering. Only sunshine and wear and tear can damage it. Absolutely non-toxic: perfect for utensils.
Egg yolks regenerate the brain.
The phosphatidylcholine lipids found in egg yolks were shown to enhance the expression of brain-growing proteins.
These lipids have potent anti-inflammatory, gut & liver protective properties.

Please don't ignore skin tags.
They are often a cutaneous marker
for impaired carbohydrate metabolism
and metabolic dysfunction.
“skin tags should be considered
clinical markers of hyperinsulinemia.”

Dave Pascoe is 61.
Yet his epigenetic age is only 37.
He’s aging at an annual rate of 0.66, narrowly outpacing Bryan Johnson.
Here’s a breakdown of his biohacking protocol and how much it costs (it’s WAY less than you think):
Zinc reverses fatigue.
Zinc at just 30 mg per day reduced fatigue by ~20% within 3 months.
Zinc:
‣ Enhances mitochondrial energy production
‣ Has anti-inflammatory function
‣ Required in hormonal signaling + production
and levels declines in aging.
Oysters, liver, meat.
Three reasons to eat more servings of fruit daily:
1. Soluble fruit fiber is one of the most potent ways of lowering zonulin, the main factor that increases gut barrier permeability. Put simply, the consumption of fruit fiber makes the gut barrier less "leaky" and reduces gut
Virgin coconut oil (100 mL/day) successfully treats colitis in a woman with Crohn's disease
Gut pain began improving within 1 week. Bleeding stopped at 6 weeks. Complete remission of pain at 12 weeks, with continued success at 6 months follow-up.
