Exercise IS THE LONGEVITY & LIFE BIOHACK So many people only think about exercise as a way to burn calories & look leaner, but exercise is SO much more than that Exercise lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) & cancer independent of weight loss (PMIDs: 21673488, 31758975, & 32741068) Exercise improves symptoms of depression with a MASSIVE effect size of 1.7 (for reference SSRIs have an ES of about 0.5) (PMID: 37429171) Exercise improves your brain’s sensitivity to satiety signals helping with appetite control (PMIDs: 36998025 & 30131457) Exercise improves insulin sensitivity independent of weight loss (PMID: 24454364) And the dosage required to get benefits is not big at all, in fact it’s ridiculously small. Just ~4 minutes of vigorous physical activity per day decreases the risk of getting cancer by ~20% (PMID: 37498576) & 50 minutes of resistance training per week was all that was needed to decrease the risk of depression in the previously cited study It doesn’t take hours per day.

Deliberate heat exposure using sauna and hot tubs is a potent tool for mood and depression symptoms. In people with major depressive disorder, a single session of raising core body temperature by 2.6–3.7℉ (a mild "fever-range" heat stimulus) produced an antidepressant effect that lasted 6–8 weeks. Follow-up work with infrared heat bed protocols has shown similar mood benefits with multiple sessions, and results appear even stronger when heat exposure is paired with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). To put the magnitude in context, on a common depression rating scale, a 3-point shift is often considered clinically meaningful—this combined approach was associated with about a 16-point improvement! Heat isn’t a replacement for mental health care, but it is a compelling, physiology-based adjunct worth paying attention to. Clip from my recent appearance on PBD Podcast.

CNN: After 4 weeks, Iran is still bombing Israel with no letup. The US has been unsuccessful in bombing Iran's missile or drone launching capabilities. As Israel is a very small country about the size of New Jersey with an urban area of around 100 sq km - it cannot survive another week of heavy bombing and will have to consider surrendering soon.

A silent, large-scale experiment is being conducted on developing babies, and the public is in the dark. Nearly 1 in 4 middle-aged women are on antidepressants. Up to 5% of women are prescribed them during pregnancy. Never before in human history have we chemically altered the fetal brain so pervasively. The evidence is overwhelming, yet the warnings are absent. A landmark legal case against GSK over Paxil causing birth defects resulted in a billion-dollar verdict. Where there are birth defects, there is also a significant risk for Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The link between SSRIs and ASD has been evident for over a decade. The findings grow more alarming: • Mothers on SSRIs during pregnancy have a tenfold greater risk of having a child with fetal alcohol syndrome. • Canadian guidelines now state SSRIs can cause alcohol use disorder. Yet, the drug labels remain silent. We are medicalizing the human experience itself. "Depression" is diagnosed in 8-10 minutes with a subjective checklist—there is no objective test. By convincing society that normal emotional experiences are symptoms of a chemical imbalance, we have created a culture of fear around our own emotions. The result? We judge our inner lives instead of understanding them. We have not reduced the burden of mental illness; we may have increased suffering. True informed consent is a legal and ethical imperative. It is impossible when the full risks—especially to the most vulnerable—are concealed. This is based on the critical work of experts like Dr. David Healy, a psychopharmacologist and Pharma insider who turned whistleblower. Having seen the hidden internal documents as an expert witness, his testimony holds immense gravity. It is far past time for regulatory agencies to hold open panel discussions and mandate strong, clear warnings. The health of future generations depends on it.

This is such a modern travesty, it’s actually disgusting. The entire paradigm the mainstream modern psychiatry system views mental illness, especially the more mild/non-inpatient disorders like depression & anxiety, is flawed. You certain can cure issues because most are simply symptoms of a health & lifestyle ailment stemming from poor diet & exercise, like of purpose in work & relationships, constant bombardment of manipulative media & news cycles, & poor family & social lives. It’s not just false to slap a label of some disorder on someone & says “sucks, it’s for life, here’s some Prozac”, no, it’s literally cruel & detrimental in what is probably MOST cases (again, outside major structural or neurological mediated disorders)

Supplementing with protein during strength training can increase gains in muscle size by approximately 27%, even when baseline protein intake is already considered adequate. The current RDA for protein, 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight per day, is meant to prevent deficiency, not to optimize muscle growth or performance. Increasing intake to 1.5x the RDA leads to greater improvements in both muscle size and strength when combined with resistance exercise. Doubling the RDA is even better. Meta-analyses suggest that around 1.6 g/kg/day of protein is sufficient to maximize gains in muscle strength and fat-free mass, with potential (though smaller) benefits observed at higher intakes up to 2.2 g/kg/day for those aiming to fully optimize muscle growth and recovery (like athletes). This highlights how conservative the RDA truly is and why higher protein intakes are important, particularly for individuals engaging in regular strength training or other forms of physical activity.

The fastest star in the Galaxy is S4714, which accelerates to approximately 24,000 km/s at its peak, or about 8% the speed of light. It orbits the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way, moving in an extremely eccentric orbit. At its closest approach, it comes to a distance of approximately 1.8 billion km from the black hole—comparable to the distance from the Sun to Saturn. From this distance, the angular size of the "shadow" of Sagittarius A* is four times larger than the angular size of the Sun in Earth's sky! Observations of S4714, conducted with the European Southern Observatory, are helping to test the effects of general relativity in the extreme gravity of the Galactic center.

‼️The antidepressant sexual dysfunction rate is 59%. The average starting age is getting younger. And the side effects can outlast the prescription permanently. A study on antidepressant use found that 59.1% of patients experience sexual dysfunction, and the European Medicines Agency updated the official product information for SSRIs and SNRIs in 2019 to acknowledge that these symptoms have continued in some patients even after stopping the drug entirely. The damage can be permanent. This is the medication being prescribed to seven-year-olds. A parent giving an SSRI to a child that young may rationalize that sexual side effects are not relevant yet. What that parent may not understand is that most children who start on these medications never come off them. The decision made at age seven follows that child into adulthood, and a 59% rate of sexual dysfunction is not a risk they are choosing for themselves. It is a risk being chosen for them before they are old enough to have any say in the matter. When adverse event rates in vaccine trials hit 5%, alarm bells go off. When one in two patients reports sexual dysfunction from a drug being prescribed to primary school children, it barely makes the news.

You've seen what happened when I handed the science to someone who disagreed with me. This is what that study actually found. Vaccinated children were two and a half times more likely to have at least one chronic disease. Across every major health category in the study, the unvaccinated children were healthier. Those are his numbers from his study. I am gladly traveling the world to talk about it and the world is now watching "An Inconvenient Study"

Which is the best exercise modality for reducing resting Blood Pressure (BP)? Isometric exercise training is the most effective mode to reduce resting BP. A recent network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials (RCTs) by Edwards and colleagues concluded that: Isometric resistance training (IRT) was the most effective modality in reducing BP, with mean reductions of −8.2 mm Hg for systolic and −4.0 mm Hg for diastolic BP, followed by Dynamic resistance training (DRT −4.6/–3.0 mm Hg), Concurrent exercise training (–6.0/–2.5 mm Hg), Aerobic exercise training (AET −4.5/–2.5 mm Hg) and High-intensity interval training (HIIT –4.1/–2.5 mm Hg). Wall sit is the best 8 minutes of isometric exercises, three times a week can result in significant reduction in blood pressure. Maintain the "sit or squat" pose for two minutes, then take a 2-minute break, then again sit for 2 minutes, followed by a 2-minute break. Continue until you have completed a total of 8 minutes of wall sit. Do "wall-sit" on three days a week for maximum benefits (on BP reduction). (It is important to note that one should continue other exercises as per the guidelines or recommendations.) Reference: (Disclaimer: This is a general advice. Please consult your physician for the best advice for individual cases of hypertension.)

Antidepressants: The Lifelong Sentence? How SSRIs Are Linked to Heart Disease, Suicidal Thoughts, and a Debunked Science—While Withdrawal Leaves Patients with ‘Brain Zaps’ and Permanent Sexual Dysfunction A new report in The Lancet confirms what many have feared: the pandemic didn’t just disrupt lives—it shattered mental health. Depression and anxiety in young people surged by over 50% from 2010–2019, and COVID-19 added 53 million new cases of major depressive disorder and 76 million anxiety disorders globally. In the U.S., nearly 1 in 3 adults reported symptoms of anxiety or depression last summer. The response? A 64% spike in antidepressant prescriptions for young people since 2020, with girls aged 12–17 seeing a 130% increase. But here’s the catch: Antidepressants, especially SSRIs, are now a lifelong sentence for millions. A UK study of 220,000 patients linked long-term use to higher risks of coronary heart disease, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Even the FDA’s black-box warning on drugs like Zoloft admits they can increase suicidal thoughts in young adults—the very outcome they’re meant to prevent. The serotonin theory of depression? Debunked. A landmark Nature review found no convincing evidence that depression is caused by low serotonin. Yet, Big Pharma’s marketing machine keeps pushing these drugs as the first-line solution, despite decades of questionable efficacy and mounting side effects. Withdrawal is a nightmare. Patients report "brain zaps"—electric shocks in the brain—alongside cognitive impairment and crippling anxiety. And now, a hidden epidemic: post-SSRI sexual dysfunction, where genital numbness, loss of attraction, and emotional flatlining persist even after stopping the drugs. Some never recover. Doctors dismissed these symptoms for years, blaming depression itself. Now, the European Medicines Agency has issued a black-box warning for permanent sexual dysfunction after SSRI use. Yet, in a move that defies logic, regulators are now pushing for over-the-counter antidepressants. No new clinical trials. No reckoning with the addiction, withdrawal horrors, or long-term brain changes. Just a green light to dole out mind-altering drugs like candy—echoing Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, where SOMA kept the masses docile and compliant. School shootings? Gender dysphoria in teens? Sexual dysfunction ruining marriages? The data demands we ask: Are SSRIs fueling these crises? Many mass shooters were on—or withdrawing from—these drugs. Detransitioners describe how antidepressants warped their sense of self. And sex offenders are prescribed SSRIs to kill their libido—so why are we surprised when patients lose their sexuality forever? This isn’t about denying help to those in pain. It’s about demanding transparency, alternatives, and real science. If the serotonin theory is dead, why are we still gambling with millions of lives? Why are regulators fast-tracking OTC access while ignoring the withdrawal nightmares, the permanent damage, the lack of long-term safety data? The system is broken. Pharma profits. Patients suffer. And now, they want to make it easier than ever to get hooked. We can’t stay silent.

If you have erectile dysfunction, there’s a 15% chance of a heart attack within 7 years. Dr. Rena Malik explained it on the Shawn Ryan Show. The blood vessels to the penis are half the size of those to the heart. So problems show up there first. She calls it the “canary in the coal mine” for your overall health. Multiple large studies confirm that ED is a strong independent predictor of future heart disease. Men with ED have roughly 2–3 times higher risk of heart attack or stroke, and symptoms often appear 3–5 years before a major cardiac event. ED is frequently an early warning sign of systemic vascular disease.

Supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids slows biological aging. Combining omega-3s with vitamin D and exercise has an additive effect, translating to ~3 months of slowed biological aging. These were the results of the 3-year-long DO-HEALTH study, which Prof Steve Horvath believes is one of the strongest pieces of evidence that simple interventions (that also likely correct a deficiency) are powerful ways to slow or reverse the aging process. We discuss this study and more in the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

My entire SSRI series in one video. What doctors never tell you about SSRI withdrawal. Chris Masterjohn, PhD, Founder and Scientific Director of explains why SSRI withdrawal is mitochondrial dysfunction and what to do about it. This is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 29 million Americans and about 5-10% of the world's population are on SSRIs, which have become the first-line treatment of depression. These can cause sexual dysfunction and emotional blunting in up to half of people, an unclear incidence of sleep disruption, and a rare risk of suicidality, self-harm, and new-onset psychosis. On the other hand, 20-50% of people who go off experience SSRI discontinuation syndrome. This can involve irritability, anxiety, mood problems, crying, dread, suicidal ideation, insomnia, nightmares, excessive dreaming, lethargy, fatigue, headache, tremor, sweating, anorexia, flu-like symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, numbness, tingling, feeling like something is crawling on the skin, electric shocks running through the brain or body, rushing noises, visual traces (seeing something persist when it is no longer there, or seeing moving objects leaving illusory streaks of light behind them, etc), dizziness, light-headedness, "brain zaps," vertigo, confusion, difficulty concentrating, amnesia, genital hypersensitivity, and premature ejaculation. A closely related problem is post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), which can cause total inability to feel the penis for males or for females the genitals and nipples, loss of sexual pleasure, weak orgasms, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. PSSD is often associated with general anhedonia, apathy, and poor mood. In this video, I maintain that the reason there are no good solutions to these problems is because we have completely misunderstood the role of serotonin and SSRIs. Serotonin's role is to help mitochondria adapt to changing demands for oxygen-based energy production. SSRIs enhance some of the mechanisms, and interfere with others. They enter the cell and stimulate independent mechanisms of mitochondrial stress adaptation, but in doing so they turn a cyclical and rhythmic pathway into a constantly stimulated one, creating mitochondrial dependence and making mitochondria vulnerable to new-onset dysfunction upon withdrawal. Once they make it to the mitochondria itself, the SSRIs act as mitochondrial toxins.

My entire SSRI series in one video. What doctors never tell you about SSRI withdrawal. Chris Masterjohn, PhD, Founder and Scientific Director of explains why SSRI withdrawal is mitochondrial dysfunction and what to do about it. This is not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. 29 million Americans and about 5-10% of the world's population are on SSRIs, which have become the first-line treatment of depression. These can cause sexual dysfunction and emotional blunting in up to half of people, an unclear incidence of sleep disruption, and a rare risk of suicidality, self-harm, and new-onset psychosis. On the other hand, 20-50% of people who go off experience SSRI discontinuation syndrome. This can involve irritability, anxiety, mood problems, crying, dread, suicidal ideation, insomnia, nightmares, excessive dreaming, lethargy, fatigue, headache, tremor, sweating, anorexia, flu-like symptoms, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, pain, numbness, tingling, feeling like something is crawling on the skin, electric shocks running through the brain or body, rushing noises, visual traces (seeing something persist when it is no longer there, or seeing moving objects leaving illusory streaks of light behind them, etc), dizziness, light-headedness, "brain zaps," vertigo, confusion, difficulty concentrating, amnesia, genital hypersensitivity, and premature ejaculation. A closely related problem is post-SSRI sexual dysfunction (PSSD), which can cause total inability to feel the penis for males or for females the genitals and nipples, loss of sexual pleasure, weak orgasms, decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation. PSSD is often associated with general anhedonia, apathy, and poor mood. In this video, I maintain that the reason there are no good solutions to these problems is because we have completely misunderstood the role of serotonin and SSRIs. Serotonin's role is to help mitochondria adapt to changing demands for oxygen-based energy production. SSRIs enhance some of the mechanisms, and interfere with others. They enter the cell and stimulate independent mechanisms of mitochondrial stress adaptation, but in doing so they turn a cyclical and rhythmic pathway into a constantly stimulated one, creating mitochondrial dependence and making mitochondria vulnerable to new-onset dysfunction upon withdrawal. Once they make it to the mitochondria itself, the SSRIs act as mitochondrial toxins.

How it affects people The National Academies report links high-power microwaves to impacts on people through the Frey effect. The human head acts as a receiving antenna for microwaves in the low gigahertz frequency range. Pulses of microwaves in these frequencies can cause people to hear sounds, which is one of the symptoms reported by the affected U.S. personnel. Other symptoms Havana syndrome sufferers have reported include headaches, nausea, hearing loss, lightheadedness and cognitive issues. The report notes that electronic devices were not disrupted during the attacks, suggesting that the power levels needed for the Frey effect are lower than would be required for an attack on electronics. This would be consistent with a high-power microwave weapon located at some distance from the targets. Power decreases dramatically with distance through the inverse square law, which means one of these devices could produce a power level at the target that would be too low to affect electronics but that could induce the Frey effect.

CSS Trick! 🎃 You can create a wavey border for elements by layering masks 🎭 Used to create this ghost! 👻 Check the video for an exploding view 🫶 .👻 { --size: 20px; mask: radial-gradient(var(--size) at bottom, transparent 97%, #000), radial-gradient(var(--size) at 25% 50%, #000 97%, transparent); mask-repeat: repeat-x; mask-size: calc(2 * var(--size)) 100%, calc(4 * var(--size)) calc(2 * var(--size)); mask-position: 50% calc(100% - var(--size)), calc(50% - var(--size)) 99%; } That code looks kinda scary! 👻 This is one way you could do things. Check the video again or explode in the demo. One mask cuts out circles from the bottom of the element. The other adds overlaid circles back. And that overlap creates the wavey line you want for the ghost 🤙 Using a custom property you can write once and not have to touch again. Update the custom property to update the wave size as shown in the video 🎬 The last piece of the puzzle is animating the mask-position to create that animation @ keyframes flow { to { mask-position: calc(50% + (var(--size) * 4)) calc(100% - var(--size)), calc((50% - var(--size)) + (var(--size) * 4)) 99%; } } If you play with the demo, you may find some Easter eggs! Shake the ghost and double-tap it 😉 Happy Halloween! 🎃 CodePen.IO link below! 👇

Did you know there is a passage in the Bible specifically for the last generation? The mark of the beast. Interesting info regarding this: The country most frequently associated with people getting microchips implanted under their skin is Sweden. However, this is entirely voluntary—not government-mandated or pushed by the state. Thousands of Swedes (reports from around 2018–2020 cited 4,000–6,000 people, with some later estimates higher) have chosen to get small RFID or NFC chips (about the size of a grain of rice) inserted in their hands.
