Over 25,000 studies prove that SPIRULINA is the most underrated food on Earth.
It kills inflammation, pulls heavy metals from your brain, and reverses mitochondrial aging.
Here's everything you need to know (thread):
1) It's more effective than fasting
Tom Brady reveals his teammate Willie McGinest dragged him to a trainer who fixed a decade of elbow pain in 5 days without surgery
“He just grabs me, brings me into this little side training room, and Alex says, 'What's the problem?' 'My elbow hurts.' 'Okay, through manual therapy, muscle work, we're going to lengthen and soften all the muscles in your forearm, your bicep, and your tricep to relieve the tension on your tendon.'”
“'Your tendon doesn't hurt because they're too weak. They hurt because they're too tight.'”
Researchers noticed a strange pattern: major life shifts often happen not after years of therapy, but after a single strong travel experience. People come back from a trip and suddenly quit jobs, end relationships, change cities, or finally start something they postponed for years.
A psychologist explained: "Travel breaks the illusion that your current life is the only possible one." Therapy works with words, travel works with direct experience.
vitamin D is the only nutrient with clinical evidence showing that deficiency directly causes hair follicles to stop cycling from the growth phase into the resting phase. let that sink in. low vitamin D literally tells your follicles to go dormant
vitamin D isn't a vitamin. it's a secosteroid hormone. every hair follicle in your body has a vitamin D receptor. when these receptors don't receive adequate vitamin D signaling the follicle's ability to cycle through growth phases is impaired. the follicle doesn't die. it falls asleep. and it stays asleep until vitamin D levels are restored
this is why hair loss accelerates in winter and improves in summer for many people. it's not coincidence. it's vitamin D levels dropping below the threshold needed to keep follicles cycling
- studies show that people with alopecia have significantly lower vitamin D levels than people without hair loss. the correlation is strong enough that researchers have proposed vitamin D testing as a standard part of hair loss evaluation
- vitamin D is required for the creation of new hair follicles during the anagen phase. without it the follicle regeneration process slows and fewer hairs enter the active growth cycle at any given time
- 80% of the global population is vitamin D deficient. in northern latitudes during winter the deficiency rate approaches 90%. if you live above the 37th parallel and don't supplement you are almost certainly deficient
- vitamin D also modulates the immune system which is relevant because some forms of hair loss including alopecia areata are autoimmune conditions where the body attacks its own follicles
- the optimal blood level for hair health appears to be 50-70 ng/mL. most "normal" lab ranges start at 30 ng/mL which is the minimum to prevent bone disease not the optimal level for tissue function
- deficiency is a slow process. your hair doesn't fall out overnight. it gradually thins over months as more follicles enter dormancy and fewer cycle back into growth. most people attribute this to aging or genetics when the actual cause is a $0.10/day supplement they aren't taking
4,000-5,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily with food containing fat for absorption. pair with vitamin K2 at 100-200mcg to direct calcium into bones instead of arteries. get your blood levels tested. the test costs $30 and might explain the hair loss that years of topical treatments couldn't fix
the most common nutritional deficiency on earth directly impairs hair follicle cycling and most dermatologists prescribe minoxidil before checking a vitamin D level
A candidate had a two-year gap on his resume.
I asked him about it.
He said he'd taken time off to care for a terminally ill parent.
I smiled and told him that shows incredible empathy, resilience, and dedication. I assured him those are exactly the soft skills we value in our leadership track.
He looked visibly relieved and thanked me for being so understanding.
I nodded and concluded the interview on a warm note.
Then I opened our applicant tracking system and selected "Reject" from the dropdown.
People who've dealt with real life-and-death stakes rarely panic over a missed deliverable.
We can't have that in the company.
