A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.

If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:

1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.

RFK Jr: Why did "gluten allergies" go up so much in 2006?

"we discovered that Roundup was a desiccant. And what that means, if you spray it on a crop, it will actually dry out the crop. And one of the big enemies of the farmer is that if there's rain around the time of harvest, their crops can get wet, and they get moldy, and then it ruins the entire silo."

"What Monsanto did is they began telling farmers, spray this on the crop, on your wheat, right before harvest or at the time of harvest. And it was so popular that about 85 % of the Roundup that has been used in history has been used since 2006. A large part of that is as a desiccant. And what that meant, is for the first time they're spraying it on food right at harvest."

"Not early in the season when they have a chance to wash off, but actually just before you're going to eat it. And they're spraying it for the first time on wheat because there was no such thing as Roundup Ready Wheat. They started spraying it on wheat as a desiccant. And so 2006 marks the day when suddenly these gluten allergies began exploding. The celiac disease and all these kind of wheat problems that we started seeing in this country."

If you measure it back and say, when did it start? You can look and draw a red line at this 2006 and it's the year that they began spraying it on.

@officialkaleo @GretaVanFleet We showed up to the Houston Show (July 28) after driving 8 hours to see you… my husbands favorite band…ONLY to find out AT the show that you weren’t coming. WTH? Not cool Kaleo… not cool. Communication needs improvement. 8 hours & a day of work off.

It took just 2 hours for particles of polystyrene, a common plastic used in food packaging, to cross the blood-brain barrier in mice. If you microwave plastic containers, drink from plastic, or store food in plastic, switch to glass or silicone now! https://t.co/ISJvoL6HvY

You need at least 500 mg of Ashwagandha, because there is typically 5% withanolide in it. Goal is to get 20 to 25 mg of withanolide in a day.
Works best taken in the morning with a meal!

Want to boost Testosterone by up to 15%?
And Men, did you know that if you have a LOW TESTOSTERONE, and low estrogen (testosterone makes estrogen) then it’s a gonad issue, not adrenal issue.There are ways to increase it without having to go on testosterone hormone shots. (Thread)

[Christie Brooks, Functional Medicine RD @CBrooksFunctMed]

And Yobymbe herb will increase testosterone as well (not a favored taste if you drink it in a smoothie or drink… very pungent)
