The 7-second cold wrist rinse was tested on 3,000 soldiers after combat simulations.
Cortisol dropped 52% within 90 seconds. Heart rate fell an average of 22 beats per minute. The Navy classified the protocol in 2009 and kept it secret until 2023.
The mechanism is radial artery cooling. Your inner wrists have the thinnest skin and the largest surface-to-volume ratio for blood vessels. 7 seconds of cold water cools the blood passing to your brain, which signals your hypothalamus to downregulate stress instantly
You've splashed cold water on your face. You've taken cold showers. Both work, but they're inconvenient.
The SEAL protocol takes 7 seconds, requires no undressing, and can be done at any sink. Soldiers used it before night missions to fall asleep fast.
The military classified this because a free 7-second stress fix would reduce demand for combat stress medication ($400M annually).
The 2023 declassification came after a FOIA lawsuit filed by a veteran.
The fix: run cold tap water over your inner wrists for 7 seconds. Both wrists. Do it when you feel a stress spike.
Within 90 seconds, your heart rate will drop. No shower, no ice.
Just 7 seconds.
And so it begins... the biggest 'dice roll' of my life.
I'm off to the US and the UK for 9 weeks speaking at conferences, churches, community groups, and podcasts.
Why?
Because I will never again put myself in the position of helplessness I found myself in at the start of Covid, where I saw and understood what was happening, what was coming, and I spoke up from the start, only to find that I didn't have the reach, the clout, the 'influence' to make a difference.
I spoke, but no one in power was obliged to listen. They could ignore mewithout penalty because I was 'too small'.
I realised then what a fool I'd been... thinking it 'didn't matter' whether i built an audience or whether i didn't, that it would be 'egotistical' to care...
No, that was foolish. It was fear of failure masquerading as humility.
I realised too late, in the middle of 2020 as the lockdown noose tightened in Victoria that id betrayed myself and my supporters by not doing everything in my power to be able to ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
It's one thing to speak. Its another to be heard.
In today's 'attention economy' being heard by those in power means having huge reach among the public, and being a thought leader among others with audience, being able set the agenda, lead the way and have others follow.
Yes it's 100% absolutely about followers, clicks, engagement rates and reach.
I don't like it either but if those are the rules, if that's the game they're going to make me play, then I'm playing to win.
Not for the sake of the views, clicks, or follower count, but because that's the leverage I need so my words and ideas can truly make a difference in this lifetime.
So that I will never again be helplessness in the face of such obvious evil.
Im on a mission to make a difference and the first step is to grow.
You have witnessed the first stage of that growth journey over the last year as I've grown explosively in Australia.
Now I'm going international.
Your support has made this possible. I'm not being paid by any of the conferences I'm speaking at, in fact I'm covering my own travel and accommodation costs AND speaking for free.
That's just how it is when you're a 'nobody' in the US.
I started out the same way in Australia, by the way.
Now I'm given prime spots in some of the biggest conferences in the country, because I started at the bottom and i proved my worth one keynote at a time.
I'm starting the same journey, the same long climb, in the biggest, most influential, and most competitive market of them all. The US.
Why? Am I abandoning Australia? Am I just going to be another online face talking incessantly about US politics?
No, not at all. Its because this is how we put Australia back on the map. Imagine if I had the kind of reach that when I shone the spotlight on something in Australia the whole world saw?
What if I could break a story about Australia and it would be picked up by international voices and the Mainsteam Media?
What if they COULDN'T ignore my voice... YOUR voice, any longer?
That's my mission. Thats my 'why' for this trip.
9 weeks away from my family. 9 weeks without my studio (dont worry ill still be making videos on the road!), 9 weeks of hotel rooms and conference centres and podcasts studios and handshakes with strangers in the hope that in the end when you put it all together it will have been worth the risk, the time, the cost.
Thankyou for being part of my journey. Thankyou for joining me on this next step in my journey.
The time has come for the biggest dice roll of my life.
What happens next is in God's hands.
A young girl who was fast-tracked into medical transition, & her mother who was told affirmation was the only way to save her daughter, are speaking out together, exposing how the medical system manipulated them & left them to pick up the pieces.
Watch the story of Claire Abernathy [@burnyourbinder].
This is Dr Monique Ryan, Teal Independent and Member for Kooyong. She is a crossbencher in the Lower House of the Australian Federal Parliament.
Before her political career, she was a highly distinguished paediatric neurologist and the Director of Neurology at Melbourne’s Royal Children’s Hospital. She is a woman of advanced science who spent decades studying human biology. Yet, the moment she entered federal politics, scientific reality was completely abandoned. Following the Giggle v Tickle ruling, Dr Ryan actively condemned the push to protect clear, unambiguous definitions of 'woman' in the Sex Discrimination Act, dismissing the defense of biological sex as mere "political point-scoring." 🙄
How does a world-class medical doctor look at objective biological reality and choose to deny it you ask? Simple. 🤑🤑Follow the money.🤑🤑
Dr Ryan’s entire political machine was launched and sustained by Climate 200 - the multi-million-dollar political action fund run by inner-city millionaire Simon Holmes à Court and bankrolled by billionaries.
Her campaigns have swallowed a staggering $1.9 million in total donations!!!! To unlock that elite corporate funding pool, candidates must strictly toe the line on the group's progressive "gender equity" pillar. The moment a Teal MP defends women, the corporate money dries up.
🧐Dr Ryan isn't acting as an independent woman of science. She is acting as a captive corporate operative, delivering exactly the gender identity orthodoxy her elite metropolitan donors paid for. Check it out. 👇
“Julia Gillard [Former Prime Minister of Australia] 🇦🇺 has been heckled at a prestigious UK writers’ festival event and accused of destroying women’s rights following the controversial Tickle versus Giggle case.” Well done and thank you to the brave woman ‘heckler’ 👏🏻 #FixTheSDA
STOP! 👮🚫 DO NOT WATCH THIS VIDEO 😡
@PatsKarvelas was right!
We cannot be sharing videos like these and legitimising One Nation any more than it already massively is.
This is immoral.
This is unjust.
This is UNMULTICULTURAL.
Stop it.
Stop watching this.
Stop sharing this.
Do you want One Nation to get elected in 2028?!?!
If you share this video then that nightmare might just come true!
Don't become one of Pauline's Dark Forces.
No. Just, no.

** An open letter to @AlboMP **
Dear Prime Minister Albanese,
Let’s get one thing clear: women are adult human females. You know it, I know it, you even said it in the lead up to the last election when asked “what is a woman” by Piers Morgan.
But we have a big problem.
I’m sure you have heard, last week, the Federal Court delivered its judgment in Giggle v Tickle, the “what is a woman” legal case that has been fighting in federal court for the past four years. To put it very simply, there are two sides to this case: women, adult human females, who want to ensure that woman is a single-sex category in law and women & girls have access to single sex spaces. The other side, which includes your human rights commission, insists that men who claim to be women are women in the eyes of the law. The full Federal Court sided with the man who claims to be a woman. Yes. A male won the “what is a woman” court case. Giggle v Tickle has turned Australia into an international laughing stock.
This decision is seismic. It means women cannot run women-only businesses for women. It confirms that the ordinary meaning of sex has been twisted beyond recognition. It means men can be women in law. The Australian Human Rights Commission, captured by ideology, has weaponised the sex discrimination act against women, the very demographic it was enacted to protect. They’ve even argued in court that men who claim to be women need pregnancy protections. They’ve pushed the view that sex is a spectrum, changeable, and that anyone objecting is the bigot. Is this something you agree with? Do you, Mr Prime Minister, think men need pregnancy protections in the law?
And there are real-world stakes here: Girls at school are holding their bladders all day, refusing to drink water, because boys who claim to be girls are in their bathrooms and they don’t want them there. Women prisoners are locked in cells with male sex offenders who simply “identify” as women. Female athletes are losing podiums, matches and safety. This isn’t inclusion - it’s the demise of women’s rights.
Prime Minister, some of your ministers say, “we need to protect trans rights”. With all due respect, sir, your government can protect so called trans rights without stripping rights from women and girls. Every other citizen manages to exist without demanding access to the opposite sex’s protected spaces. Why not try to get “trans rights” without destroying the rights of women and girls? Have you ever even tried?
The fact that Labor hasn’t even mentioned Giggle v Tickle and women’s rights - while Liberals, Nationals, and One Nation politicians speak out - tells us everything. This week has been silence from the Labor Party. No trans visibility day parades on this one. No pride posts. Why? What don’t you want Australians to know?
You boast about your 50 per cent women in cabinet. Good for you - you can accurately recognise what a woman is when it suits you. But the rest of us aren’t allowed to without fear of punishment. And can I ask, if you filled that cabinet with 50 per cent trans women, would you still call it equality between men and women? Think about that.
While the UK, the United States and even New Zealand are waking up, rolling back the nonsense and restoring sanity and realizing that gender ideology is a failed experiment, your government is turning Australia into the laughing stock of the world. “Giggle v Tickle” isn’t just a punchline overseas - it’s proof Australia is upside down.
I want to tell you something really important: If you will lie about something as obvious as men being women, we can assume you will look us in the eye and lie about everything.
Tell the truth. Fix the Sex Discrimination Act. Reinstate clear biological, accurate definitions of man and woman. Protect women, girls and single-sex spaces. Actually do something.
Because, at the moment, Mister Prime Minister, I’m doing your job for you.
Every Olympic endurance coach in the world now tapes their athletes' mouths shut at night because a Swedish lab proved in 1995 that the nose produces a gas the mouth cannot, and that single gas determines whether your blood absorbs 100% of the oxygen you inhale or only 82%.
The gas is nitric oxide.
The lab was the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm. The discovery was published in Nature Medicine that same year, and it quietly rewrote everything respiratory physiology thought it knew about why humans have a nose in the first place.
Here is what they actually found.
The empty air-filled cavities inside your skull, the ones anatomy textbooks called evolutionary leftovers for a hundred years, are not empty and not useless.
The lining of those sinuses contains an enzyme called inducible nitric oxide synthase. It runs continuously. It produces large amounts of nitric oxide gas. That gas sits in your nasal cavity at concentrations hundreds of times higher than anywhere else in your body.
The Karolinska team measured it. Air leaving the nose contains roughly 56 parts per billion of nitric oxide. Air leaving the mouth contains 14. Air leaving the trachea, below both, contains 6. The nose is the only factory.
Then they ran the experiment that changed sports medicine.
When you inhale through your nose, that nitric oxide rides the airstream down into your lungs. It hits the small blood vessels surrounding your alveoli and forces them to dilate.
More blood flows past more oxygen, and more oxygen crosses into your bloodstream. The exact figure they measured was an 18% increase in arterial oxygen uptake compared to mouth breathing the same air.
Same lungs. Same oxygen in the room. Same heart rate. One nostril of difference and your blood is carrying nearly a fifth more fuel.
The reverse is what should haunt anyone who mouth breathes at night.
Mouth breathing bypasses the sinuses entirely. The nitric oxide never enters the lungs. Pulmonary blood vessels stay constricted. Less oxygen crosses into the blood.
The heart has to pump harder to deliver the same oxygen to the same tissues. A 2008 review in the Anatomical Record showed mouth breathers develop measurably higher pulmonary artery pressure over time, simply because the gas designed to lower it never arrives.
There is a second finding most people miss.
Nitric oxide is antimicrobial. It directly inhibits the replication of viruses and bacteria in the upper airway. During the COVID pandemic, researchers in the European Journal of Pharmacology proposed that habitual mouth breathers were getting hit harder partly because they had bypassed the body's first chemical line of defense. The nose was not just a filter.
It was a chemical weapons factory aimed at every pathogen trying to reach the lungs.
The implication is the part that should change how you sleep tonight.
Your body built a free 18% oxygen upgrade and a free antiviral system into the same organ. Both only activate when air passes through your nose. Both shut off the moment your mouth opens.
Half the adult population sleeps with their mouth open and has no idea they are running their lungs at 82% capacity for a third of their life.
The fix costs nothing. A strip of tape across the lips at night. That is the entire intervention.
The most expensive thing in human performance is the oxygen you already paid for and never absorbed.
@Mon4Kooyong I'm embarrassed that you should be one of our Mandeville alumni. I hope I never cross your path because I will not fail to call you out on this disgraceful letter. As doctor you should know better
Hello @mon4kooyong. A woman with advanced stages of a complex disease is bedbound and 'lives' in an aged care home because of her advanced care needs and despite not being aged. She cannot leave her bed unaided. She has asked for female nurses to attend to her intimate care. She refuses a male nurse identifying as a woman. What would say to her? Should she be sued for discrimination?
What would you say to the aged care provider if they uphold the woman's right and the male nurse complains that his employer is discriminating against him? What if he lodges an AHRC complaint?
I am very happy to pass your reply on to every woman who is in exactly this situation.

Womanhood on the Wall
- And the Rat at Her Feet
⸻⸻⸻⸻⸻
The Australian Government’s
Official Position on 'Woman'
- Translated into Plain English,
May 2026
They can’t say it.
Not in court.
Not in parliament.
Not even in
a private WhatsApp group.
'Woman' is the word
they’ve spent a decade redefining,
rebranding, redacting
and tying in knots so tight
that the only safe answer left
is silence.
Here’s how it actually works now:
A woman is...
whatever a man declares
himself to be
- on any given Tuesday or Thursday
never acknowledging waht is
on the basis of biology.
If he fills out the form, grows his hair,
and books the appointment,
the law treats him as one.
Full stop.
No blood test.
No chromosomes.
No surgery required.
Just the declaration.
Federal judges signed off on
it last week in the Tickle case.
A 'women only' app tried
to keep biological males out.
The court fined them.
The judgment literally said
'womanhood is not to be
understood by reference to
any narrow or rigid conception
of femaleness.'
Translation:
biology is now optional.
Self declaration is mandatory.
Sports -
Male bodied swimmers
and weightlifters are
cleaning up in women’s categories
while female athletes are told
to 'be kind' or lose their scholarships.
Prisons -
Blokes with histories of sexual assault
are housed in women’s wings
because they 'self-identify' as female.
The female inmates safety
is listed somewhere
below 'inclusivity' on the priority list.
Change rooms, shelters, toilets
- all now open to anyone
who claims the label.
Push back and you’re the one
getting dragged before
the Human Rights Commission
- or sued.
The politicians who started this?
Albanese once said
'adult human female' on camera.
Then the focus groups
and the activist wing spoke
Now the party line is 'nuance.'
Nuance that somehow always ends
with women losing
the single sex spaces
that women fought for.
The judges -
They’ve spent years rewriting
the Sex Discrimination Act
until the word 'sex'
no longer means sex.
They call it 'contextual.'
The rest of us call it gutless.
The lawmakers -
They’re too scared to vote
on a clear definition because
the activist class would scream,
the media would run
the misogyny montages,
and the donations would dry up.
So instead they do nothing.
They let the cases pile up.
They let fourteen year old girls
share change rooms
with six-foot adults who
'feel like women.'
They let female prisoners
bunk with rapists
who filled out the right paperwork.
And when asked directly,
'What is a woman?'
the only honest answer left
in Canberra is:
'We don’t know.
We’re not allowed to know.
And if we ever admit we do know,
the whole thing collapses.'
That’s not confusion.
It’s deliberate,
it's institutional cowardice
dressed in a progress frock.
And every Australian woman
paying taxes for this circus
already knows exactly
who’s getting screwed.
The reckoning isn’t coming
- it’s already on the wall.

If you fuckers think we are abandoning Sall Grover or giving up on her, I can assure you you are most certainly wrong.
#IstandwithSallGrover
She is not alone
She is not defeated
She is not without global support
The UK is right behind you Sall
People can argue about J. K. Rowling all they like, but one thing nobody can take away from her is this:
She has spent years using her wealth, influence and voice to support women, vulnerable children, survivors of abuse and causes most celebrities are too frightened to even speak about.
Nearly £19 million donated in just the last year alone to charities supporting women and disadvantaged children.
That matters.
In an age where many wealthy public figures hide behind PR teams and silence, Rowling has been willing to risk her reputation, friendships, Hollywood backing and endless abuse because she believes women deserve protection, dignity, privacy and a voice.
You may agree with her.
You may disagree with her.
But courage is standing by what you believe when it costs you something.
And whatever history says about the Harry Potter books, I genuinely believe the work she’s done fighting for women’s rights and supporting vulnerable women will end up being even more important than the stories she wrote.
Books can inspire generations.
But helping real women in the real world changes lives forever.
A lot of powerful people abandoned women because they were scared of backlash. J.K Rowling didn’t.
Sall lost. Women lost. We all lost.
Sall is our Queen. We send her our love and deep gratitude.
We wii grieve with her.
And then we will redouble our efforts to win back our rights.
Dear @JuliaGillard - on behalf of Australian women and girls who deserve the right to their own spaces, the right to say no to males invading them, and the chance to play sport fairly and safely - you are a disgraceful, misogynistic, fraud. Today’s ruling is on you. For shame.
This is who paved the way for biological girls and women to have their legal protections and rights in Australia, stripped away
Her Labor government enacted legislation to erode sex-based legal protections for biological females in Australia
NEVER AGAIN do I want to hear Julia Gillard referred to as a “feminist” or a “champion of women’s rights”
NEVER AGAIN do I want to hear about her “misogyny speech”
Her legacy should be the truth.
Julia Gillard can’t define what a woman is, and she sold biological women out
