Black seed oil is one of the most impressive natural gifts from nature.

Dr. Roger Seheult just revealed one of the biggest studies on sunlight. A massive Swedish study followed 30,000 women for over 20 years and found that those who actively sought sun exposure had dramatically lower death rates from cancer, heart disease, and all causes. The shocking part? Sun avoiders had roughly double the overall mortality. Even heavy smokers who got plenty of sun had similar death rates to non-smokers who avoided it. Sunlight appears to extend life through vitamin D, nitric oxide, and immune support - yet we're still told to hide from it. Are you getting enough sun? — Dr. Roger Seheult (@RogerSeheult) on Steven Bartlett’s (@StevenBartlett) DOAC podcast

Sunlight is valuable for FAR more than just vitamin D. Multiple studies have shown that UV wavelengths in sunlight positively affect both the gut microbiome and the immune system. Getting into the sun would absolutely be good for you. You cannot replace the sun with a vitamin D

“The sunlight assessment is claiming low vitamin D levels are making my immune system misfire.” This is incorrect on a very basic level. Sunlight modulates immune function well beyond effects on vitamin D. This is so well-known that it’s amazing someone with a full staff of advisors isn’t aware of it.

Fact 1: Gastritis (and gastric cancer) is in part regulated by TLR-4 -pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38204278/ Fact 2: TLR-4 can be modulated and turned-down by infrared light -pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC84… Fact 3: This precise type of light from the sun can easily penetrate to the level of the stomach (and in fact right through the whole body) nature.com/articles/s4159… This has nothing to do with vitamin D.

Sunlight is valuable for FAR more than just vitamin D. Multiple studies have shown that UV wavelengths in sunlight positively affect both the gut microbiome and the immune system. Getting into the sun would absolutely be good for you. You cannot replace the sun with a vitamin D supplement. Your low stomach acid resulting from autoimmune attack on the parietal cells could also be partially bypassed with the increased nutrient density and more highly absorbable heme-iron found in meat, especially red meat. Heme-iron can be absorbed in an acid- independent pathway in the stomach (heme carrier protein-1). Your low ferritin has sadly been caused by your vegan diet (non-heme iron) and hypochlorhydria from the AIG. Fearing the sun is also not doing you any favors. I hope you are able to heal, but it may be time to leave the veganism and umbrellas behind, my friend.

Update: Bryan Johnson does not think the food he eats could be giving him an autoimmune disease This basically puts him on par with every other mainstream asshole doctor that says “no no no, don’t change what you eat just take this pill”

Biomarkers are complete cope. The only thing that matters is results. Bryan Johnson does not optimize for health, he optimizes for slave metrics. Now it's catching up to him. Flawless bloodwork cannot save you from living in antithesis with nature. Also, these copers are so obsessed with low cholesterol. Nigga you need to be cholesterolmaxxing. That's the elixir of vitality.

Bad news #1: I have an autoimmune disease. My stomach is eating itself. Bad news #2: 2–5% of people have this, too. Likely more, because it hides. Good news: I'm going to try and solve it. Will share all. As a kid, I ate sugar cereal, drank sugary soda, and gobbled down

8 biomarkers to track: 1. Waist circumference 2. Waist-to-height ratio 3. Fasting insulin 4. HOMA-IR 5. Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio 6. ALT (a marker of fatty liver) 7. VO₂ max 8. Strength measures such as grip strength, squat and deadlift

THE PROTOCOL: > 100+ pills/day > No meat, no sun > “I’m the healthiest person on the planet” THE RESULTS: → Anemic → Hypothyroid → “My stomach is eating itself” 🤪 Despite good intentions, biohackers like Bryan become parodies of themselves. Ask me how I know… I spent $250,000 trying to recover from a devastating post-viral/autoimmune illness that began in my 20s. Doctors had no answers, so I became an OG biohacker—long before the term was even coined. I was doing hyperbaric, red light, and IV infusions 20 years ago, when nobody had heard of those things. More importantly… I’m the only person I’m aware of who found a way out and fully recovered. In fact, at 55, I’m feeling and performing better than ever. Here’s what I learned along the way (mostly the hard way): 1) There’s no miracle cure—just hard work and discipline. Getting your blood filtered in Mexico isn’t going to fix your health. 95% of vibrant health is getting the basics right: —Clean diet —Regular sun exposure —Tons of movement —Reduced stress/toxin load —Purpose —Time in nature —Healthy relationships (and love) Renowned longevity doctor, Dr. Vass Eliopoulos, has a great saying: “Joy is anti-inflammatory.” It sounds corny but it’s true—the best medicine is happiness, love, gratefulness, and purpose. You’ll NEVER recover until you embody those things. 2) 95% of health hacks are snake oil. The vast majority have little or no benefit… and many do harm. For example, taking 100 supplements a day probably does far more harm than good, even if a few of those pills may have marginal benefit individually. I’m only interested in hacks that are highly asymmetric, with clear and significant benefit and little effort/cost. Examples: —Sauna —Fasting —Hormone optimization (when needed) —Maybe peptides (hugely promising, but mostly unproven) 3) Health begins in the gut. Systemic inflammation is the root of most illness. And inflammation begins in the gut. Modern life is an assault on our guts—it’s remarkable that any of us is healthy. It’s a testament to the human body’s resilience and ability to heal itself. This is a complex subject, but suffice it to say that if you fix your gut, most of your health problems will magically disappear. 4) Mindset matters. The mind and body are inextricably intertwined. Your beliefs and emotions manifest physically. In my desperate search for answers, I talked to many other people with similar chronic illnesses. Most of them were what I call Professional Sick People (PSP). Their illness had become their identity and lifestyle. They accepted poor health as their new normal. It’s self-fulfilling. I wanted nothing to do with that. There’s a lot to be said for simply refusing to be a PSP. 5) Mainstream medicine is a disaster. Modern medicine is miraculous for acute illness and injury. It’s great at keeping us alive and putting us back together when we’re broken. But it’s equally disastrous for everything else—especially chronic illness. The results are all around us: Rates of chronic illness—especially autoimmune disease—are going up, not down. Whatever we're doing... it ain't working. Mainstream medicine dispenses pills to mask symptoms, most of which only make the underlying problem worse. It’s created a health disaster of epic proportions. (To be clear, lack of personal responsibility plays a big role too. You’ll never be healthy if you outsource your most valuable asset—your health—to someone else.) If you suffer from chronic illness, don’t give up and don’t become a PSP. Take responsibility for your health and find a way out like I did. And before you take advice from someone (including me), scrutinize their claims. P.S. I don’t like to dunk on people but when you use misguided health advice as an engagement tactic it crosses the line.

Bryan should eat oysters and mussels. No nervous systems, no subjective pain being caused, but you get bioavailable DHA, iron, zinc, and copper. Bryan should start getting more full body sunlight while protecting his face. Face doesn't age from UV, but body creates vitamin D.

From this litany, we can assume @bryan_johnson is suffering more than autoimmunity. He and his team of doctors appear to suffer a sterile construct of health. Contrary to popular belief, there is a gastric microbiome. Also, microbiota play a large role in both iron and butyrate absorption, where butyrate is important for iron homeostasis. Lactobacillus opens the door to both iron and butyrate. All those biopsies in disregard of microbiome testing. mdpi.com/2076-0817/15/3…

while I can’t comment on anyone’s unique medical history, I can’t help but feel like this is the direct result of naive interventionism and pseudo-optimization. I.e thinking you’re benefiting a system in the body because taking [insert XYZ] does [insert XYZ] while being blinded to the real systemic downsides. I can almost bet my ass half the supplements he’s taking are harming his microbiome. And being sun avoidant isn’t helping either. Naive interventionists believe they understand complex biological systems perfectly. They look at isolated biometrics and mistake a single biomarker change for true, systemic optimization. This is the idea behind asymmetric risk and iatrogenics. It’s also why I’m a big fan of molecules that work to bring the body “back to homeostasis” (put very simply) rather than aggressively pushing/pulling on one or two biochemical pathways. Supplements that are inspired by nature usually are a plus. And that’s not a naturalistic fallacy either btw. It’s just the precautionary principle in action. Large-scale genomic research shows that commonly prescribed medications alter the gut microbiome profoundly, with effects persisting sometimes for years after the medication is discontinued. I believe this may also be true for many supplements and herbs (especially the prolonged use of “wellness” herbs with dual antimicrobial effects) as well. And I can almost guarantee that these supposed “longevity” drugs aren’t any better.

the most powerful way to change your life is to change your thoughts everything you believe to be true about yourself and the world WILL come true. you need to spend 10 minutes every morning gardening your mind, getting rid of all negative self talk, reprogramming it with positive, uplifting, empowering thoughts and visualizations this is the secret behind all greats

Before diving straight into supplements - here are some of the top functional foods: (Gut health edition) - Blueberries - Green tea - Bone broth - Pomegranate - Sardines - Mackerel - Ginger - Goats milk - Kefir - Sheep’s yoghurt - Kimchi - Sauerkraut - Raw or boiled carrots - Oranges - Raw OJ - Coconut water - Potatoes - Oxtail, Osso Buco - Rosemary, Thyme, lavender - Cacao - Lemons and limes - Cinnamon Which ones would you add to the list?

humans are the only creature stupid enough to spray chemicals on food to kill other animals... and then go and eat that food themselves.

You’re leaving results on the table. D3/K2, omega-3s and CoQ10 love fat. Magnesium prefers low fiber. B-vitamins b4 coffee cancels them out. Creatine and collagen after training. Electrolytes before caffeine. The right supplement at the wrong time is one of the biggest missed opportunities.

Supplements don’t automatically work. Timing changes everything. • D3/K2 = eat with fat. • Magnesium = avoid high-fiber. • B vitamins = before your first coffee. • Creatine + collagen = after lifting • Electrolytes = before caffeine. • CoQ10 + omega-3s = with fat. Optimize the timing before buying another bottle.

No matter how many expensive supplements you take. You'll always be unhealthy without the sun.
