Running may treat depression as effectively (or better) than common antidepressant medications Studies directly comparing running to SSRIs show that running often matches or surpasses medication effectiveness, especially for those with high inflammation (measured by biomarkers like C-reactive protein), who typically respond poorly to antidepressants Not only is running...

Running doesn’t just “burn calories.” It activates dormant electricity. Each step compresses fascia, bone, and tissue— and guess what? That pressure creates voltage. (It’s called piezoelectricity.) Your body is wired like quartz. So when you run, you’re not just moving muscles— you’re recharging circuits. 🧠 Mood lifts 🧬 Inflammation drops 🔋 Hidden energy resurfaces Maybe that’s why movement heals depression where meds fall short. It’s not just chemistry. It’s physics. 🏃‍♀️💥 The body is electric. Treat it that way. — For more on this kind of mind-body-field medicine: 👉 #FieldBiology | #PiezoelectricHealing | #RunToRemember

Running also doesn't have the chance of giving you permanent sexual dysfunction + many other symptoms. It happened to me. I've been living with damage from an SSRI for 14 years now and I only took it for 4 months. It completely ruined my life. See:

Great content as always! Forr many, running can match or even beat SSRIs, especially if inflammation is part of the picture and instead of side effects like weight gain or emotional blunting, you get better heart health, sharper memory, and a longer life.

Not everyone can or like to run, can you replace it with something else that is equally monotone like sewing or knitting or just walking around the mall? Because running hurts your knee

I wish this was true idk what the SSRI actually does but running definitely doesn’t help with my anxiety the way the SSRI does i absolutely hate them but seems to be the only thing that helps besides a xanax in emergency situations.

"Just Because Cholesterol Is At The Scene Of the Crime, Doesn't Mean It's The Perpetrator." LDL serves an important & vital purpose for vibrant health. LDL contains the antioxidants Vitamin E, CoQ10 & Carotenoids that kill off free radicals. This reduces inflammation & oxidative damage, which are the true causes of cardiovascular disease. LDL is a transport molecule delivering cholesterol to repair the cell membrane of the arterial wall. LDL is preventive of disease & immune system protective.

A low carbohydrate diet prioritizing nutrient dense animal foods, eliminating harmful seed oils & sugar, provides the best healthy cholesterol profile. This approach keeps Triglycerides low & HDL high, which is one of the best biomarkers for heart health. TG/HDL ratio optimally should be less than 2.0 & even better at 1.5 or less. 👇The Higher Your LDL, The Longer You Live👇 👇LDL Paradox: Higher LDL, Greater Longevity👇 👇LDL Does Not Cause Cardiovascular Disease👇 Speakers: Dr Aseem Malhotra & Gary Brecka Video: The Ultimate Human Podcast

LDL Cholesterol Saves Lives! What a fantastic example of cherry picking! Yes this person is right, in ELDERLY people, all cause mortality is greater amongst those with low LDL cholesterol… but WHY? And why didn’t he bring up all cause mortality with LDL levels amongst those who are not elderly? Oh because he doesn’t like that data. This is a textbook example of reverse causality. LDL Cholesterol is not protecting people from disease, but rather people with wasting diseases like cancer are more likely to be resistant to wasting if LDL is not low, indicating that they are not emaciated. But if we zoom out of the elderly and look at lifelong LDL exposure & the risk of mortality, it tells a very different story. Lifelong LDL cholesterol exposure has a LINEAR association with increased mortality, especially from cardiovascular disease (CVD) (PMIDs: 23083789, 38241044, & 30694319). In fact, reduced LDL exposure early in life throughout adulthood can reduce the chance of mortality from CVD by up to 3 times! Gee I wonder why he didn’t mention that. Additionally, the unremarkable results from many statin trials comes from the fact that often these are prescribed after a CVD event or later in life when someone has already done significant damage to their blood vessels. But even with that being the case we do see a clinically significant benefit in lowering the risk of mortality with statin use (PMIDs: 36233511 & 37368941). That said, statins can have some side effects & are not appropriate for everyone & you should speak to a cardiologist about your options if you have high LDL But this is a textbook example of carnivore zealots trying to do f***ery with science & giving you a 3rd of the info to try to trick you into believing their nonsense

I wanted to weigh in on this recent trend of people running into Scientology buildings, causing chaos, and posting the videos on social media. Whether these people are doing it for social media clout or to genuinely expose the abuses of Scientology, what they are doing is unhelpful, and by engaging in these actions, they are unwittingly helping Scientology. I want as many people as possible talking about the dangers and criminality of Scientology. But I spent decades on the other side of this, and if I had been confronted by people running through Scientology buildings and harassing me or staff, it would have pushed me further into Scientology. That is because Scientologists are deeply indoctrinated and radicalized and believe they are helping people. They have been brainwashed over many years into believing the outside world is filled with chaos and criminality, and that their mission, one they believe they are on through countless lifetimes, is to help eradicate this chaos. If someone is brainwashed for years into believing the outside world is filled with dangerous lunatics who wish to impede Scientology, a group of people running through a Scientology building is only going to confirm that belief and lead them to dedicate themselves even more to the cause they believe in. Mike Rinder and I discussed this on our podcast Fair Game: Scientologists, in particular Scientology Sea Org members, have a level of dedication and radicalization to Scientology that surpasses that of a jihadist terrorist. Running through a building is not going to break that or lead them to reconsider what they’ve given up their entire lives for. I also want to note that any Scientology building that someone is allowed to easily enter from the street is not a building where someone like David Miscavige or any senior Scientology executive is going to be. People at that level of Scientology’s criminal leadership will be behind gates and many layers of security. Please focus on exposing the dangers of Scientology, not making a spectacle out of it.

A person asks Sadhguru, “How much weight training exercise do you recommend?” And Sadhguru answers, “Weight training is not useful, but do 25-50 Surya-Namaskars, it is complete exercise.” First of all, I am not sure why anyone would ask someone like Sadhguru, who is most of the time, in another dimension, a question on exercise and weight training. And secondly, Sadhguru is just plain wrong. Weight (or strength) training is one of the most important aspects of exercise regimen you can include in your daily or 3-4 times a week physical activity because there is great science behind its benefits. I advise my obese or sarcopenic (very poor muscle mass in advanced liver disease) patients to include weight training to improve clinical outcomes. The highest level of scientific evidence showed that standard muscle-strengthening activities were associated with lower risk of death in patients with non-communicable diseases – including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and lung cancer. Another metanalysis showed strong evidence for a considerable risk reduction of strength training for 60 minutes a week, on all-cause death (−15%), cardiovascular disease death (−19%), and cancer death (−14%). See here: here Sadhguru says the older we get, the better we do not weight train. He is again absolutely wrong. The findings of another systematic review/metanalysis support power (strength) training as an effective therapeutic intervention for improving physical function in adults diagnosed with frailty (poor physical function in old age) and patients with chronic medical conditions. See here: In fact, another study on strength training, this one again a metanalysis, concluded that strength training interventions can be used as a non-drug treatment for hypertension (!), as they promote significant decreases in blood pressure. See here: Strength training also reduces significantly, chronic inflammation as shown in another high quality systematic review and meta-analysis. See here: Resistance/Strength training improved muscle mass and muscle strength, thereby improving performance status. Improved performance status is a wonderful benchmark for an active and healthy life. See here: Even in fatty liver disease, independent of weight loss, exercise training was associated with 3 and a half times more meaningful treatment response towards lowering liver fat. Strength training is a powerful tool to maintain liver health. See here: and here Now Surya Namaskar. Surya Namaskar or Sun Salutation is a sequence of around twelve yoga poses connected by jumping or stretching movements, varying somewhat between various Yoga schools – which means, it has no regulation or standardization unlike weight training. In Iyengar Yoga there is a way, in Ashtanga Vinayasa Yoga there is Type A and B and there are other types followed by other schools or Yoga teachers. Along with the stretching and jumping, which is done is a slow and steady manner, the practice includes chanting a “mantra” calling out twelve names of the Sun God. In its classical form, Surya Namaskar is not an exercise, and is not aerobic. The energy cost of exercise is measured in units of metabolic equivalent of task (MET). Less than 3 METs counts as light exercise; 3 to 6 METs is moderate; 6 or over is vigorous. American College of Sports Medicine and American Heart Association guidelines count periods of at least 10 minutes of moderate MET level activity towards their recommended daily amounts of exercise. For healthy adults aged 18 to 65, the guidelines recommend moderate exercise for 30 minutes five days a week, or vigorous aerobic exercise for 20 minutes three days a week. Surya Namaskar in its classical form has a measly 2.9 METs and in its rigorous form (some people perform mutated highly active forms of Surya Namaskar to make it feel like an exercise) can go up to 7.4 METs – which requires a lot of jumping and little stretching and no time to chant the Sun God names - does not even come close to strength training by any margin. Those who are part of the Surya Namaskar and Yoga cult would provide anecdotal experiences on its benefits (please see comment section) through non-classical forms and would call it an “exhilarating experience.” Experiences are not scientific, evidence are. Many Yoga journals and some dubious and third rate Ayurveda journals have also have published on such experiences in small group of patients, which are not validated or published in better journals [like this junk here: There are no metanalysis level data to prove effectiveness of Surya Namaskar as beneficial as aerobic exercise or better than strength training as Sadhguru claims. Do Surya namaskar if you are doing nothing. But upgrade to strength training if you want something. And stop listening to pseudoscience peddlers who speak religion and culture for your healthcare needs. Sadhguru suffers seriously from Dunning Kruger fallacy: a type of cognitive bias, where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs because of the fact that they don’t have enough knowledge to know they don’t have enough knowledge.
