🗣️The more people I talk to, the more I realize why chronic diseases are so prevalent.

Some licensed and well-known nutritionists are still giving outdated advice, like starting the day with toast or cereal. 🤦♀️

With easy access to books and research, there's no excuse not to know better.

Let's prioritize staying up-to-date and providing the best advice for people's health and wellness.

Have you heard the myth that frequent small meals can boost your metabolism for weight loss?

While it's true that our body uses energy to digest food, the impact of this process on our overall metabolism is actually quite small.

In fact, constantly snacking throughout the day can lead to overeating and weight gain. Focus on less-frequent nutrient-dense meals and regular exercise instead to support a healthy metabolism and reach your wellness goals.

Breakfast is not as important as you think. Especially what people usually consider a healthy breakfast. You are better off just hydrating and then breaking your fast with a nutritious lunch!

In the last few years, maca has grown in popularity around the world as a natural remedy for infertility and low s*x drive. There are plenty of anecdotal reports supporting these effects, but research is still unclear about a final verdict. Either way, don’t ignore this plant. Maca is a good source of fiber and contains amino acids, vitamins, and minerals. It also has other bioactive compounds, including macamides, macaridine, alkaloids, and glucosinolates, which have been associated with some health benefits.
The best way to consume maca is in its powdered form. Just add a bit to your smoothie!

Sleep is one of the most important things for your health. Creating the right environment in the bedroom and a solid routine before going to bed will help you fall a sleep faster and sleep better. 

There are many tricks and hacks but for me this is the most important one.

The blue light of electronic devices can reduce the natural production of melatonin and therefore disturb falling asleep or the quality of sleep. It’s essential that you avoid electronic screens at least 30 minutes before you go to bed.

Instead of scrolling social media or watching Netflix before going to sleep, you can for example read a book! 📚

Roseroot aka Rhodiola rosea has been used as a physical and cognitive elixir for several years.
Several studies suggest that this plant may have potent adaptogenic effects and thus help decrease stress and fatigue, reduce symptoms of depression and even improve brain function.
You can consume it as a tea or in supplement form.

Have you ever tried it?

It’s once again the battle of convenience vs health. Nonstick pans can be very convenient however some of them might be incredibly dangerous.
Instead of writing a huge text here, let me make this more dynamic. I invite you to watch the . It’s based in a true story and really shows how some big companies use convenience to make a lot of money, while not caring about our health.

Sure, PFOA which is the chemical substance discussed in the movie are no longer used to make teflon coatings and are banned from other products, however there are still thousands (if not millions) of these products still in circulation (sold before the use of PFOA was banned).

Besides that, many we are still unsure about some of the PFOA replacement the industry has found. Some studies lead to believe that they might have harmful effects (but more research is needed). For example, the replacement PTFE, at high temperatures, seems to to emit chemical byproducts that can lead to PTFE toxicosis in birds.

You are better off using the good old stuff like stainless steel, cast iron or even the modern carbon steel. Yes, they stick but nothing that some tallow, butter, ghee or lard won’t solve. And hey, you probably can use that extra fat for your hormonal health.

Baobab is a tree native to certain regions of Africa, Arabia, and Australia. The fruit and leaves have been used for centuries as a traditional remedy for many ailments. It is also part of the cuisine of some of those regions of the world.
The pulp, leaves and seeds of the baobab fruit have a rich micronutrient profile which makes baobab an amazing superfood.

Although the seeds have plenty of micronutrients, they also have antinutrients, such as phytates, tannins and oxalic acid, that can reduce nutrient absorption and availability. These can also trigger inflammation in the body. That is why you are better off choosing extracts made from the pulp and leaves.

Research shows that the nutritional content of baobab can vary depending on the geographical location where it’s grown and between different parts of the plant. For instance, the pulp is high in vitamin C, antioxidants and several key minerals like potassium, magnesium, iron and zinc. The leaves are rich in calcium and high-quality proteins that can be easily digested.

The micronutrients present can reduce levels of inflammation in the body, improve the metabolic function, boost digestive health, and even help with weight loss. In one small study in 20 people showed that drinking a smoothie with 15 grams of baobab extract significantly reduced feelings of hunger compared to a placebo drink.

There have also been some concerns about the presence of cyclopropenoid fatty acids in baobab oil, which can interfere with fatty acid synthesis and may contribute to health problems. However, studies show that these harmful compounds are significantly reduced during processing and unlikely to be problematic for most people.

Most of us have heard about all the chemicals still present in tap water and we try to be more health conscious by going for bottled water. This would be ok if we were talking about glass bottles but most of the bottled water in the market uses plastic bottles.

While proponents within the plastic water bottle industry argue that drinking water from plastic bottles is safe to consume, they are not sharing the whole truth.

Especially with heat, some of the chemicals in the plastic can leach into the water and end up inside us. These have been associated with:
- Miscarriages
- Premature births
- Cardiovascular disease
- Reduced male s*xual function
- Reduced s***m quality
- Altered liver function
- Obesity
- Oxidative stress
- Reduced fertilization success
- Implantation failure
- Altered thyroid hormone concentrations.

To avoid this, you can choose glass bottles but the best is probably to get a water filtration system. Nowadays, you can find several high quality systems at very reasonable prices. Not only will this hack make you healthier but the environment and your wallet will thank you.

This superfood is a real powerhouse.

100 grams of camu camu contain:
– 2,145 milligrams of vitamin C, i.e. 3575% of the daily nutritional value.
– 355 milligrams of carotenoids, notably luteins which offer ocular and dermatological protection.
– 15.7 milligrams of calcium.
– 2.1 milligrams of manganese.
– 0.2 milligrams of copper.
– 0.5 milligrams of iron.
– 12.4 milligrams of magnesium.
– 83.8 milligrams of potassium.
– 0.4 milligrams of zinc.

Camu Camu is excellent to lower inflammation, strengthen the immune system, detoxify, boost eye and skin health, and help you live longer.

This is one of the foods I consume almost daily. Unless you leave in the Amazon region, you will probably find it very hard to find the fruit in your grocery store. However, you can do like I do, and buy it as a powered extract to add to your smoothies.

There are many ways to solve a problem... Numbing the symptoms is not one of them.

Treating the symptoms is not addressing the problem. it's just masking the issue. But, the issue eventually will come back.

If you are dehydrated, you can develop headaches. Taking a pain-killer might help you with the pain for a while, but this pain will eventually return if you don't get hydrated.

Anxiety and depression are no different. You can take SSRIs and other meds but that is not addressing the reason why your body is not producing enough "feel-good hormones." These meds are just forcing you to exhaust your already low supplies of these hormones and neurotransmitters. They are not doing anything to boost your natural production.

That is only achieved with diet and lifestyle changes. Only when you adopt these changes, will you be able to address the real issue and make lasting change.

What are you doing to deal with anxiety?

Moringa (moringa oleifera) is known by over 100 names in different languages around the world. This easy-to-grow tropical plant species, native to the Himalayan mountains and parts of India and Africa, comes packed with over 90 protective compounds, including isothiocyanates, flavonoids and phenolic acids.�

One of the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet. 🌍

Thank you all for your support! I couldn’t do this without you. ❤️

Friends,
Unfortunately, I had a small issue with Amazon and I have decided to postpone the launch by one day.

NOW PUBLISHING ON JUNE 1st (TOMORROW).

My goal was to run a $99 promo today (for the digital version) so more people could buy it and indirectly make their donation. However, amazon decided I could only run this promo on June 19th 😕
The other alternative was to run a 5-day free promo, but that could only be programed for tomorrow (and that's why I am postponing by one day).

There are pros and cons to this. The number one pro is that you will be able to read the book for free. You will also be able to get more friends onboard since they will not have to pay for the digital version.
However, since I will not be earning any money from those ebook "sales" i will not be able to make a donation on your behalf.

My hope is that the people that decide to get the book for free, see its value and then decide to purchase the actual physical book, allowing me to make the donation.

Just wanted to be completely transparent and share everything with you.

Thank you for your continuous support!
