In 2007, John Hewlett nearly died on the operating table after a “routine” appendectomy went wrong. Doctors later said his heart was next — major bypass surgery was coming. He refused the knife. What he found instead shocked even him: a gas your body already makes called nitric oxide...

Dr. Nathan Bryan drops a bold claim in this 1:34 clip: Nitric oxide deficiency is the hidden root behind many chronic diseases—and restoring it could be a game-changer. Key conditions he links directly to low nitric oxide: - Erectile dysfunction (the "canary in the coal mine" for early cardiovascular decline) - High blood pressure - Metabolic disease & diabetes - Alzheimer's (vascular + metabolic + inflammatory aspects) He argues Alzheimer's is fundamentally a vascular disease: Nitric oxide improves brain blood flow, glucose uptake, reduces inflammation, oxidative stress, immune dysfunction, and prevents protein misfolding/amyloid plaque buildup. His conclusion: "I'm absolutely convinced [nitric oxide] will eradicate and cure Alzheimer's... because it addresses every physiological root cause." Provocative take—science-backed or too optimistic? Watch & decide. What chronic condition do you think nitric oxide could impact most in your life? Thoughts below.

Ken Paxton TORCHED John Cornyn For Being The Most USELESS Senator In History, Going on VACATION Instead of Fighting To Pass SAVE America Act: "Trump said in his State of the Union, I want the SAVE America Act to pass, it's the most important piece of legislation on the agenda, and then no one says anything or gets it done." "When I challenged John Cornyn, I said I would even consider dropping out if he would actually get something done. I gave him a chance: do something John, just one good thing for America. And guess what; even with the President making it his most important item and me challenging John to get something done in his career, he says he was for it and yet a week later they all go on vacation." "Never heard about it again, John never talked about it again. That's the epitome of John Cornyn. I wouldn't have shut up about it because I consider it the most important piece of legislation. We're going to save America from bad elections."

Did you know 128hz is a penetrative frequency that goes through the tissues into the bones and helps release nitric oxide into your cells? Grok: Nitric oxide (NO) is a naturally produced signaling molecule in the body that plays a critical role in many physiological processes. It acts primarily as a **vasodilator**, relaxing and widening blood vessels to improve blood flow, deliver oxygen and nutrients more efficiently, and support overall cellular communication. Here are the key benefits of nitric oxide in the body, based on its established physiological functions: ### 1. Cardiovascular Health and Blood Pressure Regulation Nitric oxide helps relax the smooth muscles in blood vessel walls, leading to vasodilation. This increases blood flow, reduces vascular resistance, and helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels. It also protects the endothelium (the inner lining of blood vessels), reduces arterial stiffness, inhibits platelet aggregation (lowering clot risk), and may decrease inflammation and plaque buildup. Low NO levels are linked to endothelial dysfunction, hypertension, and higher cardiovascular disease risk. ### 2. Improved Exercise Performance and Muscle Function By enhancing blood flow to working muscles, nitric oxide improves oxygen and nutrient delivery while helping remove waste products like lactate. This can boost endurance, increase exercise tolerance (especially in less-trained individuals), reduce muscle soreness, and support better recovery. It may also influence muscle contraction speed and mitochondrial efficiency in cells. ### 3. Support for Erectile Function and Sexual Health Nitric oxide is a primary mediator of penile erection, as it promotes relaxation of smooth muscle in blood vessels, allowing increased blood flow. Supplements that boost NO (such as L-arginine or L-citrulline) have shown potential benefits for mild to moderate erectile dysfunction (ED) in some studies. It may also support sexual arousal more broadly. ### 4. Immune System Defense Nitric oxide acts as a key player in immune responses. It helps immune cells (like macrophages) kill bacteria, viruses, and even some cancer cells by producing higher levels during infection or inflammation. It also modulates inflammation—providing anti-inflammatory effects at normal physiological levels while aiding targeted defense at higher concentrations. ### 5. Brain and Nervous System Function As a neurotransmitter and neuromodulator, nitric oxide facilitates communication between brain cells. It supports cerebral blood flow, learning, memory, and other neurological processes. Adequate levels may help protect against cognitive decline by improving brain oxygenation and circulation. ### 6. Other Potential Benefits - **Wound healing and tissue repair**: Enhanced blood flow and signaling support recovery processes. - **Respiratory support**: In medical settings, inhaled NO helps relax lung blood vessels in certain conditions (like pulmonary hypertension in newborns). - **Anti-aging and metabolic effects**: By supporting circulation, reducing oxidative stress in balanced amounts, and aiding hormone regulation, it contributes to overall vitality. It may also play roles in reducing risks associated with diabetes complications or arthritis inflammation. Note that nitric oxide has a dual nature: beneficial at physiological (low-to-moderate) levels, but excessive production (often in chronic inflammation) can contribute to tissue damage or pro-inflammatory effects. The body produces NO via enzymes (nitric oxide synthase) from precursors like L-arginine, or through nitrate-nitrite pathways from diet. **Natural ways to support nitric oxide levels** include eating nitrate-rich foods (beets, leafy greens like spinach/arugula, garlic), consuming antioxidants (to preserve NO), regular exercise (which stimulates production), nose breathing, and maintaining good sleep and cardiovascular habits.

"I did it for me." For years Walt hides behind the same word. Family. He cooks for his family. Lies for his family. Kills for his family. Destroys people for his family. And Skyler is done with it. She doesn't even let him start. If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the family Then he says it "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really... I was alive." He did care about them. He also loved the power. Loved being feared. Loved being great at something after a lifetime of feeling overlooked and underpaid and smaller than he thought he deserved. Nothing gets fixed by him saying it. Hank is dead. Walt Jr. hates him. Jesse is chained in a basement. The money never saved any of it. But he stops performing. No more noble provider. No more misunderstood father. No more everything I did, I did for this family He liked it. He was good at it. And for a while, it made him feel alive

Eşref abi when he first saw Rüya, he hadn’t yet noticed the warmth starting in his stomach and slowly rising to his heart. He hadn’t yet given a name to that feeling of admiration he was experiencing for the first time. Worse still, it hadn’t even crossed his mind that he would love this girl until he died. And years later, one day, a woman appeared before him. Someone who would make him forget even Rüya. When he first saw her, he remembered the feelings he had experienced years ago. It was a sense of familiarity. As if his heart had memorized that face long ago. Eşref thought he had been chasing a dream for years. But now he realized something. Sometimes, what you’re searching for isn’t far away, you lose it right beside you. That woman who once entered his life, touched his heart, and then quietly left… it turns out she carried the same warmth as a memory from his childhood. That’s why, when his heart saw her, it couldn’t treat her as a stranger. #EşrefRüya #EşSan

On the 13th of Sept, someone transferred 180k for an iPhone Xs 256GB. After acknowledging his receipt, he called, and I told him we don't have it but will ask colleagues and let him know. I asked my friend, and he told me 190k. I begged him to leave it at 180k because that is what the guy deposited (check frame 2 for reference). When he sent the phone from Kano to Jos, then I noticed it was an Xs Max. Seeing that the guy was in a hurry and didn't want to disappoint, I called him and told him what happened and said if he wants the Max, he can take it at no additional cost. I was willing to settle the difference because it was his first time buying from us. I packaged it with a new premium charger because all our used phones are sent packaged in our branded box with a charger, and I sent it to him in Abuja. He later messaged that he has received the phone and truly appreciates it. After months of not receiving any complaints from him, it clearly indicates that he has received a fully functioning phone. It is in our policy that if you find anything faulty within one week, you can return it to us and either ask for a replacement or refund. What this means is that the cost of bringing it from Kano to Jos, the packaging and charger, and the delivery to Abuja are all a loss to me. But I didn't mind because at least I have satisfied him. Nine weeks later, while I was in Kano, I saw a call from an unknown number. When I picked up, he said it was him. He told me that the camera has started giving him problems. I told him it has been months since you bought it, but you can take it to any repair store and tell me how much you spent, and I will pay. He asked if I know anyone, and I sent him someone's number. The guy didn't pick; he texted and informed me and later called me. I told him to go to anyone he trusts and let me know the amount he spent. A few days later, I was stranded between Kaduna and Abuja on my trip from Kano to Abuja because my car engine failed. He called, and I didn't pick; I don't even know his number. Later in the night, I received his messages on WhatsApp with a threat that he will make a video to tarnish the image of my business. Someone I was willing to help after months of buying a USED device from me is threatening me. I said he should go ahead because I can't entertain him anymore. In conclusion, a trade that I incurred a loss from is what some people are trying to justify as a scam. The beautiful part is I have made trades with hundreds of people here, and I would love two more people to come out and present a case in which they are still using a device I sold to them that is faulty and they contacted me for a replacement or refund, and I didn't do it instantly. "The hypocrite will always look for faults" - Ghazali. Those that are looking for a fault in me can justify something as woke as this; it doesn't matter. This is my own side and will no longer entertain him anymore. For those that believe in me without hearing from me, thank you so much.

Jamie Dimon was fired by his own mentor, then sank half his net worth, $60 million, into a broken Chicago bank almost no one had heard of. He turned it into JPMorgan, the most valuable bank in the world. This is Dimon on the firing that ended his career at the top and started it over from scratch, and the night he had to tell his kids: He had spent thirteen years with Sandy Weill building Citigroup into one of the biggest financial companies on earth, and was widely expected to run it. Instead, Weill fired him. That night, while he was hosting a hundred people in his apartment, he pulled his young daughters aside. "The youngest one says, Daddy, do we have to sleep on the streets? And the middle one was always obsessed with college. Can I still go to college? And the oldest one said, great, since you don't need it, can I have your cell phone?" Two years later a headhunter called about Bank One, a troubled $30 billion Chicago bank next to the $200 billion Citigroup he had just left. He took the job, and did something nobody had seen a new CEO do. He put $60 million, half his net worth, into its stock. "I was going to be the captain of the ship. I was going to go down with the ship. I made it clear to everyone I was here permanently." He fixed it. Four years later it merged into JPMorgan, and he has run that bank ever since, building it into the most powerful financial institution in America. Bookmark & watch ↓

Sometimes things happen for a reason. Toxic people have a way of removing themselves from your life and while showing their true colors at the same time. I used to have a friend in my friend group that I hung out with all the time. I thought we were all tight and we had fun every weekend. Turned out he was just using me for rides. What made it weird is that we hung out for years, I never saw it coming. It wasn’t until he drank too much that he let the truth slip out and from that point on I questioned his motives and it made me reflect on everything. I’m at a point in life now that I trimmed a lot of people out. I only keep a close circle. It turned out many family members were doing the same thing. It’s rough when you feel that there isn’t many you can trust. It makes you value the people close to you now even more. Have you ever had to cut someone out of your life? Do you regret it or feel guilt for it?

Carlos Alcaraz says he initially wasn’t sure if he was cramping or if it was an issue with his adductor during his match against Zverev, ‘I just told what happened to the physio & he decided to take a medical’ “I didn’t think it was cramps at all at the beginning. I didn’t know exactly what it was. I ran to a forehand and started to feel it in the right adductor. That’s why I called the physio. Because it was just that moment, the rest of the legs.. the left leg was good. Not good but decent. After that with all the stress I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know if it was going to be worse or not. In that moment I just talked to the physio and said ‘Ok I just went to run to the forehand side and I started to feel the right adductor.’ He decided to take the medical time out and he did it. I just told what happened to the physio and he decided to take a medical.” (via Australian Open Press)

This woman's story is astonishing. Sad, but also miraculous: "I know he saw something amazing. And before the Karens come for me, I should add that yes, I got out my phone to record because I was scared and in denial which is VERY real when you’re experiencing end of life care for a loved one. His behaviors that morning were so different but so the same too?? I didn’t know for sure if what he was doing meant his time was coming because even after months of preparing, even seeing every bit of tangible evidence, it never feels like it’s going to happen so I sent the video to another platform to ask people if they knew anything about it (this was prior to realizing he was actually speaking in the video). He became unresponsive before I could even check the comments and when I did, hundreds of people including hospice professionals confirmed. If you’re in denial, please sit with it. Let it protect you. You’re not alone and the same exact feelings and experiences are happening to other people, maybe millions every day." I heard it, did you?!

Robin Williams was sober for 20 years... then one thought in a small Alaskan town undid it all. In this interview, the comedian traces the full arc of his history with addiction: how it started, how he quit the first time, why he relapsed after two decades, and what finally broke the grip for good. It began early in his career, with cocaine. People asked why a man that fast ever needed it. His answer flips the assumption on its head: "I think I did it because it would actually allow me not to talk. It was like, you know, reverse medication... It just kind of shuts you down, which is a, you know, word: self-medication." The first turning point came in the early 1980s. Two things changed his thinking: the death of his friend John Belushi from an overdose, and the news that he was about to become a father. "I remember stopping it on my own because I was about to have a son... You don't want to be like that." On Belushi's death, he says it was the beginning of "thinking outside the box of 'you've got a responsibility and it's more than you'." He quit alone, without help. And it held for 20 years. Then came the relapse. "I was in a little town in Alaska. It wasn't the end of the world, but you can see it from there, and it was like all of a sudden I thought I could drink. It's also that same thought you have if you look off a large building and go, 'I can fly'. And within a week it was like gone." He calls the aftermath a gift: "Now, you know, I realize I can't." The second recovery looked nothing like the first. This time he went to rehab, and he learned why doing it alone had been the harder road. Surrounded by doctors and psychiatrists in treatment, he noticed a pattern: "The more intelligent you think you are, the harder it is to let go. Everything: 'I've got a solution, I'll just drink a little bit'." The lesson he lands on is surrender: "You gotta just say, 'I can't do it'... And then you have to go, 'Nope, you lose, you can't do it. You need help'. And at that point, that's the beginning."

On Belushi's death, he says it was the beginning of "thinking outside the box of 'you've got a responsibility and it's more than you'." He quit alone, without help. And it held for 20 years. Then came the relapse. "I was in a little town in Alaska. It wasn't the end of the world, but you can see it from there, and it was like all of a sudden I thought I could drink. It's also that same thought you have if you look off a large building and go, 'I can fly'. And within a week it was like gone." He calls the aftermath a gift: "Now, you know, I realize I can't." The second recovery looked nothing like the first. This time he went to rehab, and he learned why doing it alone had been the harder road. Surrounded by doctors and psychiatrists in treatment, he noticed a pattern: "The more intelligent you think you are, the harder it is to let go. Everything: 'I've got a solution, I'll just drink a little bit'." The lesson he lands on is surrender: "You gotta just say, 'I can't do it'... And then you have to go, 'Nope, you lose, you can't do it. You need help'. And at that point, that's the beginning."

Before Uber made him a billionaire, Travis Kalanick spent four years drawing no salary and living at his mother's house to keep a startup alive. He sold it for $19 million, cleared $3 million of his own, and to this day calls it the happiest day of his life. This is him on the company almost no one remembers, and why that one small win still outweighs everything he has built since. He started Red Swoosh in 2001, a file-sharing idea he describes as BitTorrent meets Akamai, before BitTorrent existed. By his own account it should never have survived. "That company wasn't meant to be and I willed it into being." For the first four years he paid himself nothing and moved back in with his mom. "The first 4 years, no salary. Lived at mom's." When Akamai finally bought it, the number that changed his life was not the kind that makes headlines today. "I sold it to Akamai for, like, I think it was like 19 million bucks. And probably to this day is still the happiest day of my life." He would go on to build Uber, worth a hundred times more. He still measures the best day of his life by the company that almost didn't make it. Bookmark & watch ↓

This UFC fighter is called Themba Gorimbo. His mother died when he was 9 and his father died when he was 13. When he was 16-years-old he traveled to the local fields to illegally dig for Marange diamonds. Even though it was illegal, it was the only work he had and eventually when police found him, they had German shepherds bite him. "If you see my body, l've got dog marks all over my body where I was bitten by the dogs.” "That night probably changed me mentally as a person, changed everything because I got bitten by the dogs and I lost a lot of blood and I almost died. Luckily, I survived and I'm here to tell a story about it." Recently, he won his first fight in the UFC and up until that point he only had $7 in his bank account. All his money was spent on the flight to Vegas. He sleeps on a couch in his gym. After his fight, he sold his fight gear for $7000 and used the money to build a water pump in Zimbabwe. What a pure soul ❤️

Actor William Fichtner explains how the lowest point of his career, long before his success, became the turning point that kept him going: He shares a moment from his early days in New York when everything he'd worked for felt like it was slipping away. "I think I was 30 years old and I was in New York and I hit the end of the road. I ran out of money. I had no commercial residual. I had nothing." After a few years of scraping by, a little money in theater and a few residuals from commercials, he had to go back to waiting tables. And it crushed him to compare himself to everyone he'd come up with: "I felt like I was falling backwards and I was 30 now. Everybody that I knew I graduated college with [had] a company car and I was just... it was depressing." He describes the morning he went to ask for a brunch shift at the White Horse Tavern in the West Village, a place he knew people went to: "I woke up. I was brushing my teeth. I started crying. I really was. I was walking that street going, 'Just, it's all right, man. It's all right. You're not falling backwards. You're not going off the end of the earth.'" On the walk, it got worse before it got better. He passed someone from his past: "I passed a guy that I hadn't seen in a couple of years that was like kind of like an old friend. And I said hi to him and he walked by and he just kind of looked at me like he didn't recognize me. It was horrible. It was just horrible." Then he walked into the restaurant, and the manager met him with hostility, telling him he was on the schedule the day before, hadn't even started, and was already fired. But instead of breaking him, it freed him: "I said, 'Thank you.' I walked out of there. I said, 'I have absolutely nothing right now and I'm feeling so good and I'm not working at your f****** restaurant today, buddy.'" He went home to find a place to re-energize. Looking back, that brutal day became a great one: "Just great, great day." The lowest point can feel like proof you're failing, but sometimes it's just part of the process. Years before his success, that morning could have ended his career. Instead it became the turning point that kept him going.

Gwen Stefani opens up about the “miracle” that brought her back to God. “I was desperate… I really wanted to have another baby. And I couldn’t. And I was old.” “And then my oldest boy, Kingston, comes up to me. He said: ‘Mommy, I really want you to have a baby.’” “I said: ‘I’m sorry, your mommy’s too old to have a baby now.’” “And he just, out of his own… he was like, ‘Please God, let my mom have a baby.’” “And I just was sitting there going, ‘Wow, look at my little boy. He’s praying for me.’ And he was doing it every night.” “And I never asked him to do that. I never taught him that, really.” “Four weeks later, I was pregnant with Apollo, who I had at 44 years old. Naturally. Totally a full-on gift. And that was the first miracle.”

Five years ago, I bet everything on a stranger. I had just left coaching and only had a few months of pay left from Arizona State. I knew I wanted to kick off a new career, but I wasn’t sure what it would look like. Then I met Jake. He told me that he could help me build something on social media. I’d seen his work with some of his other clients, and took the dive, telling him I’d do whatever he told me for three months. It took him 90 days, and he added 92,000 followers to my accounts. Four years later, my new company, Arvelo Media, is acquiring his. It’s the same people and the same strategies, just with more resources. If you would have told me back in 2020 that I’d be off the sidelines and in front of a camera, I would have thought that was crazy. Now, we own the company that does it.

The man who invented modern fantasy didn't publish his first novel until he was forty-five. By that age, J.R.R. Tolkien had already built a respectable life. He was an Oxford professor, an expert in ancient languages, with a wife and four children and a settled academic career. He was exactly the kind of man who might reasonably have decided that the shape of his life was already fixed. The work he would be remembered for, he had not yet even begun... The story, which Tolkien told himself, is that one summer he was grading examination papers, when he turned a page and found that a student had left it blank. Without quite knowing why, he wrote a single sentence on it: "In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit." He did not know what a hobbit was. He had spent years inventing languages and mythologies as a private passion, and telling stories to his own children, never imagining any of it would reach the world. But that one line began to grow. It became a story, and then a book, and in 1937, at the age of forty-five, Tolkien published The Hobbit. It was a success, and his publisher asked for a sequel. Tolkien warned them it might take some time. It took 17 years... He wrote it in the margins of a demanding full-time job, revising endlessly, doubting it often. When The Lord of the Rings was finally published, in 1954 and 1955, he was in his early sixties. That book, begun as a middle-aged professor's private side project, went on to sell well over a hundred million copies, to invent modern fantasy as we know it, and to reshape the imagination of the entire world. Tolkien already had a full and respectable life behind him. And still, the thing he is remembered for, the thing that outlived him and reached hundreds of millions of people, was something he began at forty-five, at an age when it would have been the easiest thing in the world to tell himself he had already missed his chance. He didn't. It's never as late as it feels.
