Dana White exposes why your doctor is ignoring the silent killer destroying your health "The day that we met, my blood pressure was 160 over 110. I was on blood pressure, cholesterol, and thyroid meds—none of which I'm on now. My last reading was 116 over 70" "I would keep doing blood work and the doctors were telling me everything was fine when I knew everything wasn't fine. I couldn't sleep, I had sleep apnea so bad that almost every night I would wake up choking and throwing up. They never fixed anything, they just kept putting me on more pills" "People can lose weight, I’ve done that before. What I didn't do was feel amazing. Now I feel like I'm in my 20s again, my workouts are off the charts, and I’ve never felt better in my life"

Dorian Yates reveals why he believes the current vitamin D3 dosage is a scam and is experimenting with 20,000 IUs daily "Protein and creatine are non-negotiable, no-brainers. You should be taking these if you go to the gym. And for health, everybody should be taking extra vitamin D3. It's actually not a vitamin, it's a hormone" "I came across a study from the 1930s where they were giving people 1 gram of vitamin D3 a day. That is 400,000 IUs. They discontinued it, apparently, because the hospitals were not busy" "4,000 units a day is really nothing. So I'm personally experimenting with 20,000 at the moment to see how that feels. I think it's a scam that we were scared off vitamin D, saying it's toxic if you take too much. That's apparently bull"

Dr. William Li reveals the single probiotic that hacks your brain to release social hormones "I take a probiotic called lactobacillus reuteri. It lowers inflammation, builds immunity, and it's actually the bacteria that text messages the brain. It causes our brain to release social hormones like oxytocin, which makes us feel good." "The kind I take is chewable. It turns out that the same bacteria is good for the gut, but if you chew it up, this is the bacteria that kills the bacteria that causes cavities and gum disease." "I haven't had a cavity in well over a decade. This is one of these types of practical things that just knowing the science can change."

105-year-old Walter reveals why your obsession with diet and health rules is shortening your life "Before they left, every single one of them asked me the same question. What's your secret, Walter? I always said the same thing, clean food, and I believed it. But I noticed the ones who ate perfectly, exercised for hours every day, and followed every rule, they left just as fast as the ones who didn't" "Diet was never the secret to a long life. People come here, reporters, doctors, neighbors, they all want the same thing, the list. What do you eat? How many hours do you sleep? Do you take vitamins? I give them the list, they write it down, they leave happy, but they missed the point" "The people who made food into a religion, who counted every calorie, who felt guilty every time they sat down at a table, most of them were miserable. And miserable people, in my experience, don't live long"

Dr. David Unwin reveals why his fellow doctors tried to sabotage the diet that is destroying Type 2 diabetes "Why don't you have a go at this low-carb? She said, 'Why don't you and me go on this diet, see if some patients would volunteer and do it with us?' I mentioned it to the partners and they said no. At the time, low-carb was not respectable. They said, 'We don't want you to do this. Maybe you're not treating chest infections or other things. This is self-indulgent" "I went back to my wife and said, 'The partners say no.' She said, 'I'll tell you what we're going to do. We're both going to work for free. Why don't we do this in our own time in an evening when the practice has no resources?' So that's exactly what we did" "We found 18 volunteers who were interested amongst the patients. We started meeting every Monday night talking about low carb, learning how do you cook stuff? How do you do it? One of the nurses was so excited. She said, 'I'll work for free. I want to believe in what I do.' And then the magic begins"

Dr. Paul Saladino reveals why the standard belief about LDL cholesterol is failing your heart health "Why do humans only develop atherosclerosis in arteries and not veins? The same amount of LDL cholesterol is circulating in my veins as in my arteries. It's a contiguous system. Veins don't develop atherosclerosis, only arteries" "Arteries are much more muscular because they must carry more pressure. When there's more pressure, there's more denuding of the endothelium, which means there's more damage just by being an artery because the pressure in there is higher" "My argument is apoB-containing particles like LDL are not atherosclerotic. You need endothelial damage to initiate atherosclerosis. Maybe they're arriving to the scene of the damage as part of the healing process—are they the firemen or are they the arsonist?"
