you start taking collagen for your hair then your digestion sorts itself out, your joints stop clicking, your skin changes and you sleep like you were a teenager. it was never a beauty supplement

What happens to seed oils when they're heated over and over? High temperatures can change these oils, but the balance of fats in your diet also matters. Learn more about the concerns surrounding seed oils, and what makes some cooking oils a better choice than others. drbrg.co/4s2vlnf Dr. Eric Berg, DC, not MD; information only

TESTOSTERONE 101 - optimizing it for men: 90% of men are low nowadays, here's the foundations to not be one of them. DIET FOR TESTOSTERONE: ◈ Avoid excessive seed oil intake - animal studies suggest high-PUFA diets can impair testicular function ◈ Eat enough dietary fat - very low-fat diets may reduce testosterone ◈ Include saturated fat sources like eggs, dairy, coconut oil or meat as tolerated ◈ Eat sufficient carbohydrates - they support training, energy availability and may help limit cortisol elevation ◈ Maintain insulin sensitivity - insulin resistance drives with lower testosterone ◈ Avoid chronic calorie restriction - low energy availability can suppress reproductive hormones ◈ Get adequate protein, but avoid letting it crowd out total calories, carbs and fats ◈ Optimize body composition - higher body fat levels increase aromatization from testosterone to estrogen. KEY NUTRIENTS: ◈ Vitamin A - supports testicular cell differentiation and sperm production ◈ Vitamin D - supports normal reproductive function; correcting deficiency is important ◈ Zinc - essential for testosterone production and male fertility, especially when deficient ◈ Magnesium - supports energy metabolism and numerous enzymatic processes ◈ Vitamin K2 - has preliminary evidence for effects on steroidogenesis, mainly from non-human research ◈ Vitamin E - antioxidant protection that may help protect reproductive tissues from oxidative stress Adequate intake matters most, but some studies do show that gigadosing can increase T further for some nutrients. LIFESTYLE FACTORS: ◈ Sleep - maintain a consistent schedule and get sufficient sleep ◈ Circadian rhythm - keep sleep and wake times regular (night shift tanks T) ◈ Weight training - resistance training supports body composition and metabolic health ◈ Energy availability - avoid prolonged under-eating, especially with high training volume ◈ Stress management - chronic stress signaling can suppress reproductive function ◈ Goal achievement - competition, winning and achieving goals can boost it ◈ Red & near-infrared light - early research suggests possible reproductive benefits, but evidence remains limited METABOLIC & HORMONAL FACTORS: ◈ Insulin resistance - associated with lower testosterone, particularly alongside obesity and metabolic disease ◈ Thyroid dysfunction - hypothyroidism can impair reproductive hormones and sperm quality ◈ High prolactin - can suppress testosterone and libido ◈ Gut health - chronic illness and inflammation may contribute to reproductive dysfunction ◈ Endocrine disruptors - reduce unnecessary exposure to certain chemicals in plastics and personal-care products where practical TESTING TIP: If you have symptoms of low testosterone, measure morning total testosterone on two separate days + free testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, prolactin and thyroid function depending on the results and symptoms. "Normal" is not normal by lab ranges (they say >250 is normal, it's not), >600 ng/dL is a better target, with SHBG <50 nmol/L. THE BIG PICTURE: Healthy testosterone depends on more than one supplement or food. Energy availability, sleep, metabolic health, nutrient sufficiency and normal testicular and pituitary function all matter. The goal is to create the conditions for healthy hormone production - not to chase higher numbers at the expense of overall health.

@BornTo_BeFree I just smelled this new candle “fall vibes” you sent to @bitcoinburnbabe and I and this is amazing. Thank you!

i met the oldest person in the world today. here’s what he told me about how to live a long, healthy life (tldr at the end): josé flores was born on July 11, 1907, he is 119 years old. “what's the secret to living 119 years?”, i asked him… “trabajo!” (work) up until a few years ago, José was still on his farm, planting crops and chopping brush with a machete. in Japan, they call this Ikigai (生き甲斐), a word meaning “a reason for being.” It is well known to be associated with longevity across many cultures. (pmid 19539820) his lifestyle defies most mainstream longevity ideas... -he doesn't fear the sun. He works in it daily. -he eats meat every single day: beef, fish, or chicken, & organs like heart and liver. nothing from the animal is wasted. (large population studies corroborate the strong, consistent association between animal food consumption and longevity. (pmid 35228814)) -he eats local foods & doesn’t fear natural sugars. Fruit, vegetables, milk, and honey. -he cooks with animal fats and adds these to staples like rice and beans. lard, tallow, and butter. he doesn’t fear saturated fat, nor do most in this nicoya region of costa rica. -he doesn't drink coffee (!) , but he loves young coconut water & agua dulce- a juice made from sugar cane. -he plays dominoes every day with his family and visitors to keep his mind sharp. the formula for maxing out your genetic longevity potential doesn’t have to be complex or cost thousands of dollars: i. eat unprocessed food. single ingredient foods (meat, plants, with no ingredient labels) for >95% of meals. ii. find a purpose, and work toward it daily. iii. get outside. don't fear the sun. moderate exposure is associated with longevity in many studies (PMID 26992108) iv. stay close to your people. the people you care about are critical to the formula. Protect that community. a large study from Harvard found that meaningful community was the strongest predictor of longevity. (PMID 31495897) v. don't take life too seriously. Laugh as much as possible. everyone I have met in my exploration of longevity (ikaria, sardinia, nicoya, switzerland…) who was aging well had an easy sense of humor and smiled + laughed often. tldr: longevity doesn’t have to be as complicated as it’s made out to be. high food quality with animal foods moderate sunlight movement purpose community eat food for humans, live like a human, & thrive. we all have a genetic longevity potential, this is how you maximize it.
