All proceeds benefit the non-profit. I make $0 from this, it's all about community and human connection. Last year we had to cap the event at 120 people.
Hope to see you here next month.
Why you should take more naps…
Should you worry about cholesterol?
Lululemon is under investigation by Attorney General Ken Paxton. Throwback to a reel I posted 3 years ago...PFAs and other chemicals in your clothing are no joke.
You might need a new doctor…
My thoughts on peptides…
Heal yourself with diet…
Butter = heart health?
Why are you still eating peanut butter?
the global pharmaceutical industry is worth 1.7 trillion in 2025 because...
the global ultra-processed food industry is worth 1.9 trillion.
funny how these things are so closely correlated.
the vast majority of human health issues can be solved by simply not eating garbage foods.
eat meat, eat plants, eat what you want as long as it's single ingredient foods and foods with ingredients your great-grandmother would recognize.
why is this so hard for us to grasp?
Texas Roadhouse uses fake butter!? 🤢
optimal lab ranges your doctor won't tell you about:
triglyceride/HDL: <1
fasting insulin: <5 uIU/mL
fasting glucose <80 mg/dL
TSH: <2 mIU/L
free T3: >3.4 pg/mL
free T4: >1.2 ng/dL
hs-CRP: <.5 mg/L
homocysteine: <9 umol/L
prolactin: < 10 ng/mL (male) < 12 ng/mL ( non pregnant female)
there are more, but this is a decent start. if your labs are within these ranges you are doing great.
microplastics, BPA, mycotoxins, PM 2.5, PFAs, pesticides... none of this will kill you today, but ignoring them could significantly affect the quality of your life later.
it's a shame humans are so bad at future thinking. swim upstream, my friends. pay attention.
Get these items out of your kitchen…
If you’re going to drink, try this hack…
Most pesticide contaminated fruit/vegetables:
1. Spinach, the worst of them all. 75% of conventional samples contained permethrin, a neurotoxic pesticide banned in Europe. Popeye was wrong.
2. Kale/collard greens. >50% contained DCPA, a pesticide and possible human carcinogen according to the EPA. Also often high in thallium, a toxic heavy metal.
3. Strawberries. 30% of samples contained more than 10 different pesticides. Contained 82 different pesticides, overall.
4. Grapes
5. Nectarines
6. Peaches. 67% had 4 or more pesticide residues.
7. Cherries. This one hurts me. I love cherries, will only buy organic.
8. Apples. 65% contained Diphenylamine, a pesticide banned in Europe.
9. Blackberries. 58 different pesticides detected across all samples.
10. Pears. 1 in 3 pears contained carbendazim, a fungicide which is toxic to the male reproductive system and possible carcinogen.
11. Potatoes. Often contaminated with chlopropham, likely hormone disrupting.
12. Blueberries. Often contaminated with phosmet and malathion, organophosphate pesticides linked with lower IQ in kids (PMID: 21507776).
Organic verisons of these may cost more but they will undoubtedly decrease you/your family's pesticide exposure.
Yes, spinach contains nutrients (nothing you can't get from meat, eggs and a bit of lettuce or other less toxic vegetables) but the juice ain't worth the squeeze imo.
Spinach is the worst leafy green you can eat.
-Highest pesticide amounts of ALL produce by weight. 75% of non-organic samples contain permethrin (neurotoxic insecticide banned in Europe).
-High oxalates (~800mg/ cooked cup) = significant kidney stone risk
-Accumulates cadmium/lead
Lettuce (romaine etc.) is far less problematic. Bring on the pitchforks🍴, @X.
Beware of fluoride…
