Walking at least 10k steps a day n going to bed before midnight
Drinking spring water with high quality sea salt in it 🌊
Agree. Nicotine is more difficult to let go compared to alcohol....
Cutting sugar. Went from 100+ grams a day to near zero most of the time. I became a different human being physically and mentally.
removing carbs
Reduction of stress BY FAR has the best impact.
If impossible to avoid it, it's good to train your body to learn to cope with it.
Cold showers are good for this too as it trains you to overcome the discomfort and stress.
In addition I started eating much more meat and eggs.
Working on cutting down sugar but I am weak addicted motherfucker. So tons of work ahead of me in this regard...
Eat more steak, eat less carbs.
Walking as more as possible bear foot and changing type of shoes. Now I buy only shoes with more space for the toe and that are more wide on the finger zone.
My knee and low back pain are gone and my posture is definitely better.
Hydration, adequate sleep, appropriate vitiamin D exposure or supplementation
Buteyko breathing. Ditching smoking and booze. Eating more salads and very little carbs. Meditation. Getting out of the rat race. Dancing.
Quitting seed oils
Prioritising sleep
More protein, less carbs
Food with the least ‘ingredients’
Resistance training, regular sleep, eat more protein.
Is the best place to start.
Sick brah
Sleep at least 8 hours a day. Some people can't easily do it well. Gravol helps.
Carnivore diet and chiropractor.
Some kind of regular exercise. I mountain bike, and it feels like play rather than work.
Eat real food. Everybody seems to be in agreement on that one here.
I went camping with the fam recently. We were in a cell phone dead zone. No screens for 3 days. No clocks. It's weird not knowing whether it's "lunch time" or not. We just ate as needed. Hiked a ton, swam in the creek. I haven't felt that good in a long time. If anyone is curious about the effects of screens on kids and adults too, check out this book Glow Kids: How Screen Addiction Is Hijacking Our Kids - and How to Break the Trance 
Does anybody have research on the effects of electro-magnetic radiation on the body? Some ppl talk about wifi and 5G harming us, but I'm uncertain. Nonetheless I did feel really good on our camping trip. Hard to isolate variables in that case.

Hypertrophy-focused resistance training 6x/week, atleast 8k steps/day, see the sunrise/sunset, 4-5 meals/day with 1g/lb bw in protein every day split evenly b/w those meals.
Whole, less processed foods when possible. Hydrating, but stopping caffeine at noon. Post-meal walks with podcasts.
Keto
Zero alcohol
Zero sugar
Zero seed oils
All the f’ing steak I want !
Walking several days a week since 2020’s global kerfuffle 🚶🏻♂️🦠
Low carb, meat forward meals.
Excellent advice, thank you. Could you expand a little more on your experience with the beta amyloid plaque containing foods? What you changed and how it helped
Agreed. Of all the interventions, methods, diets etc, I believe this is by far the most powerful.
Stopped drinking alcohol, stopped eating sugar.
Guarding my time by telling “No.” to people/activities that are time-sinks.
I contracted Encephalitis in 2020 & it turned my life upside down. I was left with a brain impairment & untreatable chronic nerve damage headaches.
I’ve changed from being a high energy extrovert to a struggling introvert. That has significantly impacted my marriage, my physical health & capacity.
I’m still recovering & trying to decide what type of career change is needed to something less cerebral & stressful.
Sadly, I took my health for granted for years & am learning how to move on from this brutal life lesson.
Low fat high protein no grains but oats
Going keto and then carnivore.
The growth of Plaque in the arteries and in your digestive tract has more to do with eating habits and particular foods high in cholesterol. Lots of cheese, Meat, Carbs and sugar all in combination paired with a sedentary lifestyle of not being active, Mostly staying stationary for years at a time, Is how this plaque builds up in the body. Inside the small intestine there are small fingers that absorb minerals and nutrients from the food you eat. Plaque can build up in these fingers and your food does not digest as well and your body starts storing this plaque. This builds up in the brain and affects your mental cognitive ability, And is bad for your health all around. Dieting with fiber, Eating whole food diets where you consume the whole vegetables, Help to scrub this plaque from the small intestine. Olive oil, Coconut oil, And fish oil help to loosen plaque from your arteries slowly over time. The body can immediately absorb and digest these oils for fuel, And do a great job initializing ketosis, Where your body is burning fat for energy. People with bodies that store fat are more likely to have issues with plaque buildup if they do not pay attention to their diet. People with too little body fat should pay attention to eating a high fat diet, Because when the body runs out of fat to use for fuel, It consumes muscle. Plaque buildup is not just from the food you eat, But the lifestyle habits you keep and occur over a long time of unhealthy habits.
Tripling the amount of protein I was getting and adding more strength training to my routine.
Quit refined sugar, wheat, alcohol and dairy
💯
Discovered through @jack and never looked back.
Plenty of water with grey sea salt, bananas, raw eggs and coconut/olive oil for breakfast, ditching coffee and flours, raw veggies, raw meat and cheeses for lunch/dinner.
Just can’t believe how much energy these simple foods provide during the day.
HEALYOURSELF
Going vegan.
Actually switching to Whole Plant Based Diet.
It did wonders in all aspects of my life.
If I only knew this earlier...
Replacing breakfast with coffee blending in butter and mct oil ☕🧈🥥
How long ago was this? It seems to be beneficial for the first while but after a few months deficiency symptoms are likely
Meditation.
Good question, made me think... TY!
Dropped all processed foods, sugar, seed oils, pharma "medications".
Keto (for 2 years), now whole food plant based organic or homegrown (1 year) some animal protein (Max 500g week). Lots of filtered water.
Sunshine, walking.
Dedicated 2 hours a week to stop & think.
Weekends for family, friends & fun.
Sleep 8h a night. Gym. Drop videogames in favor or reading and chess. Therapy.
Strive to:
Include Mindfulness, yoga, strength and conditioning training, filtered water, more protein, suppliment deficiencies
Reduce sugar, alcohol, excess carbs
I would say be kind to yourself and allow flexibility in all of the above- life is balance. Strive not militant with it is my advice.
Re-coding my bio mechanical movement through G.O.A.T.A.
I went from not being able to run for more than a mile or two because of terrible shin splints & back problems to barefoot running (using Vivobarefoot shoes) and being able to road run 3 miles pain free.

I'm full vegan from 2016. Never felt better. All my blood results are normal, I'm controlling it yearly. No side effects. I play basketball several times a week and have more stamina than before. No need for additional rest that I had on a daily basis. My emotions are in order. My receptors (taste, smell...) are working better. My eyesight has improved.
Deficiency occurs with any unhealthy foods, vegan or not, doesn't matter. But, animal foods are full of saturated fats and trans fats that are not good for us. Also, they luck many vitamins, minerals and fiber that are essential for us. Also, they have certain ingredients that directly influence in forming of various diseases and cancers.
PS I am a Baby Boomer.
Quitting alcohol.

Having Saunas:

To be honest in my house we started eating more cow and eggs haha and the change and feel is amazing. Less tired more focused
Repairing my microbiome
raw veggies not a good idea
ray peat talked about this
One time, I tried quitting coffee in the morning. After two weeks, I started drinking a cup again. That was the most drastic one.
More seriously, training myself to fast, and eating way more protein than most people recommend. I feel better and am stronger in my 30s than I did in my teens and 20s.
Personally, I don’t trust misogynists and people who very hypocritically insult men who don’t appear ‘masculine’ in physicality to tell me what to do 🤣🤣🤣 wtf. There are plenty of women who get fucked and don’t have to pay for it who would like abortion to be accessible for everyone 
Maybe no one should bring children into this world of spiteful, bizarre insanity
Police don’t protect people at protest hahaha what planet is this author living on???
Pls don’t forget to ensure if your future wife has plastic surgery which I’m sure is highly likely, it doesn’t get infected 
Running. Without fail, I always end up feeling better after a long run.
Good for you 🙌
Raw food strains your metabolism as much more energy has to be spent to metabolise it than cooked food. The invention of fire and cooking is what allowed early humans to redirect surplus energy to their brains and thus become homo sapiens. You're undoing a key element of evolution there.
HEALYOURSELF
Homemade bone broth
Don´t buy all the stuff from a supermarket, because it´s mostly not regional or saisonal.
Buy canned instead of preserved foods.
The COVID "vaccine"...
Reduce carbs, increase fat. Energy increase is noticeable (for a 50yr old guy)
Getting a personal trainer to get me to lift weights twice a week. Never did before. In my 30s now.
Started nose breathing and taping my mouse at night to force it.
This stopped my sleep apnea overnight. Stopped my nightmares and nightly tooth grinding
.
Cold plunges 3 to 6 Celsius degrees twice to three times a week.
It seems to be responsible for taking down my blood pressure back to healthy levels.
😉
What does squatting deeper do for you?
8+ hours sleep every night
I’ll take baguettes to the grave. Butter too .
non inflammatory diet, exercise, sauna, and hormone therapy. Da best. Nice to be addicted to healthy practices. I have arthritis and i sent all the medications to hell. No doctor ever told me to do what i am doing now. It is in remission, which never was with all the medications. I am a former professional dancer and now in my 60s (boomer into bitcoin class of 2017, cold storage from day 1 ✊) and now I am performing again. nobody believes my age and i tell them all what to do.
Viva la libertad, carajo!!! Congrats #Milei btw
1. Carnivore diet
2. Getting a lot of sun
3. Early to bed, no alarm
4. Exercise
5. Getting into nature/ocean and reducing sitting/screentime
what a horrible writer. i cannot absorb anything he says.
i am curious though, did jack take the world first experimental mRNA vax? he has been so silent about it, i want to know if the man who silenced a generation about the experiment was part of the experiment?
i did not get it because of my faith. i had death threats on that platform because of my faith, no one did anything about it, i wasn't allowed in the library because of my faith, no one would serve me because of my faith, i was silenced and threatened because of my faith. so i am curious, did the man who allowed people to threaten and silence people on his platform at a time we needed to be heard get the world first experimental mRNA vaccine?
😆..🫂

Cordyceps?
Darko Velcek’s Self Healing Protocol.
Ketosis
I should add home-made Lactobacillus reuteri yogurt. Gut game changer
Rowing
quitting alcohol
Learning about one or more health-related aspect. Apply what was learnt over an extended period of time (ideally, to some degree of proficiency or mastery).
Re-assess overall health / lived experience. Adjust accordingly.
Health-related activities will change as life situation changes. You may cycle through things that now don’t work, or, now they are actually something you should focus on.
Some specifics:
- From my perspective, most people overlook light health (and over-state their own specific requirements for gut-health).
- Understanding respiration has been a game changer for me (teachings from Erwan LeCorre instead of Wim Hoff).
- Overall mineral/vitamin content of naturally occurring food for where I live (seasonal eating instead of rigidity)
- Marry the disciplines of strength & flexibility in your training (they do not need to be separate).
- Do micro-difficult things often (improves tenacity).
Going to a remote beach village 6 months for daily wave kitesurfing, good company, bonfire guitar nights, some online work, fresh tropical fruit, coconuts, chicken liver and seafood
Hard to beat that

The #carnivore diet quite literally changed my life and made me start to question modern medicine in general.
Quitting alcohol
Gluten free
Thats sounds hmmmmm so good....bananas, raw veggies and cheeses.
Quail egg sushi? Thats afrodisiak 😊
But the raw meat ....there is some kind of routine in place I guess to avoid risk of parasites
Sushi is kinda risky too but good.....😊
Small mandatory morning work out, apart from my real workouts. Also, shrooms 🙌
Lifting heavy weights and switching to barefoot shoes
The victory hour concept in the 5AM Club: wake up before 5AM, so you:
- 5-5:20 - move (exercise)
- 5:20-5:40 - reflect
- 5:40-6 - grow (increase knowledge)
Where is the most affordable place to get quality cordyceps online?
I've just learned about the benefits on good bone broth, and started with the Kettle & Fire brand until I can figure out a good source and way to make my own. Do you have any tips?
Waking up at 5am every single day (weekends included).
Nature's way.
tested (also Blood) various diets, discussed them with a Doctor friend. The Mediterranean diet is perfect for me.
CrossFit, walking with Birkies (healed my Achilles t.) Sauna regularly, Yoga +Pilates. Intermittent fasting.
A day off in bed sometimes.
Making myself happy.
The Sun & The sea
Grow kits.
Great! I’m fortunate to have an amazing grass fed farm close to me to get the bones but honestly, if you find a good pre made source it will be way easier! If you do, make a big pot and freeze in weekly portions and I love adding onion and tomato paste for umami.
taking magnesium glycinate supplements
fixed so many goofy stomach issues I was having and feel so much better in general
I visited a physiotherapist about 3 years ago. He told me I was stiff and showed me a routine. I keep it up now, every morning and I feel much better when I stay disciplined with it. I'll be 50 in a few years, I think it should be a great help going forward. It's mostly keeping the spine/back and legs flexible.
Water Water Water
Improves hip, knee and ankle function + injury prevention. My whole body feels/functions better when I strengthen the full range.
(1) Lunges periodically throughout the day... counteracts sitting at the computer screen. Fixed my back spasms.
(2) Sleep mask for maximum darkness at night.
