LET’S BE INSTA FRIENDS!

For years, I ignored warning signs—unexpected fo

For years, I ignored warning signs—unexpected food reactions, brain fog, and chronic inflammation. The culprit? Leaky gut syndrome (intestinal permeability).

Your intestinal barrier is your body’s primary defense system. When compromised, it allows toxins and undigested particles into your bloodstream, triggering inflammatory responses.

Autoimmune connection:
Increased intestinal permeability is linked to autoimmune conditions like type 1 diabetes, MS, rheumatoid arthritis, and celiac disease, explaining late-onset sensitivities.

Gut-brain axis:
The gut communicates directly with the brain. Gut microbiota impacts psychiatric and cognitive function.

Zonulin mechanism:
This protein regulates intestinal tight junctions. Gluten and other factors can elevate zonulin in sensitive individuals.

Lifestyle impacts:
- Processed food alters microbiota.
- Stress weakens intestinal integrity.
- Environmental toxins disrupt barriers.
- Certain medications damage the gut lining.

What can you do?
- Dietary interventions:
- Remove trigger foods like gluten, dairy, sugars, and inflammatory oils for 30+ days.
- Focus on gut-healing foods: bone broth, fermented veggies, prebiotic fibers, and zinc-rich foods.
Include collagen-rich foods to rebuild the intestinal lining.

Supplement support:
- L-Glutamine: Fuels intestinal cells for repair.
- Zinc Carnosine: Strengthens tight junctions and reduces inflammation.
- Probiotics: Use multi-strain formulas.
Digestive enzymes: Aid food breakdown.

Lifestyle modifications:
- Manage stress: Practice meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.
- Optimize sleep: Get 7-9 hours of quality rest.
- Move regularly: Gentle exercise aids digestion and reduces inflammation.
- Reduce toxins: Filter water, choose organic, and avoid harsh chemicals.

If you’ve experienced similar issues, feel free to share your story. Together, we can build a healthier gut-brain connection!

I’ve spent over a decade studying brain optimization, and these 10 supplements have consistently shown the most promising results for cognitive enhancement.

Your complete guide to evidence-based brain boosters:

- C8 MCTs: Medium-chain triglycerides that rapidly convert to ketones, providing immediate brain fuel and enhanced mental clarity

- Vitamin B12 (Methylcobalamin): The most bioavailable form of B12, essential for nerve health, cognitive function, and energy production

- Salidroside: A powerful compound from Rhodiola rosea that fights mental fatigue and enhances stress resilience

- Alpha GPC: A high-quality choline source that supports memory, learning, and brain cell repair

- Ashwagandha: An adaptogenic herb that reduces stress, improves focus, and supports overall brain health

- ALCAR (Acetyl-L-carnitine): Enhances mitochondrial function and supports brain energy metabolism

- Lion’s Mane: A medicinal mushroom that stimulates nerve growth factor production and supports cognitive function

- Paraxanthine: A metabolite of caffeine that promotes alertness without the typical jitters

- r-bhb (Ketones): An alternative brain fuel source that can enhance mental clarity and cognitive performance

After 25 years of studying supplements and visitin

After 25 years of studying supplements and visiting healthcare systems in 60 countries, I’ve uncovered disturbing patterns in the American medical industry that affect every single one of us.

The US healthcare system operates on a reactive “sick care” model, focusing on managing diseases rather than preventing them – creating a perpetual cycle of dependency that costs Americans over $4.8 trillion annually

Studies show Americans spend 2x more on prescription medications than other developed nations, yet rank 49th in life expectancy globally – suggesting our approach to health isn’t just expensive, it’s fundamentally flawed

The chronic disease management market was valued at $726.3 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach $1.1 trillion by 2029, while a mere 2.9% of healthcare spending goes toward preventative care

Evidence shows that strategic supplementation and preventative wellness practices could reduce lifetime healthcare costs by 28% and add an average of 7 quality years to your life

Traditional medical schools dedicate less than 25 hours to nutrition studies in their entire curriculum, while spending over 100 hours on pharmaceutical interventions – leaving doctors ill-equipped to address root causes of disease

International research from countries like Japan and Switzerland proves that integrative approaches combining traditional medicine with modern healthcare lead to better outcomes at lower costs

What do you think is the most concerning aspect of our healthcare system?

Peptides are small molecules made up of short chai

Peptides are small molecules made up of short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. They are involved in many important functions in the body, such as communication between cells, regulating hormones, and supporting the immune system.

Here are some of the most common peptides I would recommend:

-Epithalon: a synthetic antioxidant that boosts resistance to emotional stress, and mimics a natural pineal gland product

-GHK-Cu: a copper complex in human fluids that promotes wound healing, immune function, collagen stimulation & blood vessel growth

-BPC-157: a 15-amino acid peptide that aids skin burn recovery, counteracts NSAID gut damage, & supports bone & bowel healing

-Ipamorelin: a growth hormone secretagogue enhancing muscle mass, fat burn, sleep quality, bone density, & heart health

-Tesamorelin: a growth hormone improving cognitive function & reducing inflammation

-5-amino-1MQ: a molecule aiding cellular metabolism, with potential in anti-obesity treatment & type II diabetes prevention

-CJC-1295: stimulates natural production of growth hormone and improves lean muscle mass, also compliments Ipamorelin and Tesamorelin

Tell me about your experience in using peptides and share your go-to products in the comments! 👇

Shawn, why would I want to starve myself?! When people hear the term “fasting” many think its just another weight loss fad...

Fasting is so much more than weight loss and “starving” yourself.

Fasting changed me... it healed me... it saved me.

It has become a powerful tool for my mental clarity, but also for my discipline...

Fasting has helped me to develop a growth mindset, simply by choosing when I eat food throughout the day, instead of feeling like I’m a slave to food. I feel empowered by my choice to choose when I eat and not feeling pressured to eat when every one else does is significant. It makes me wonder, “what else do I have the power to do?”

It caused this chain reaction of amazing things in my life...

Some other physical benefits of fasting include;

Brain - Improved cognition, resistance to injury and disease, neurotrophic factor production, mitochondrial biogenesis.

Muscle - Reduced inflammation, enhanced efficiency/endurance, increased insulin sensitivity.

Blood - Elevated ketone levels, reduced glucose, insulin, and leptin levels, reduced markers of elevated stress, reduced inflammatory cytokines, reduced adiponectin levels.

Cardiovascular system - Reduced blood pressure, reduced resting heart rate, stress resistance.

Above all, the benefits that I enjoy the most are beyond the physical benefits...

If you have tried fasting, how did it impact you in a deeper way?
