Nattokinase is just part of the story. That's what all these threads miss.

Its the whole Natto - the complete nutrient profile within which nattokinase is one component.

That's why synthetic sources are not the same as the natural whole natto.

Japan has 4X lower rates of heart disease than America.

Their secret?

A natural enzyme in their diet that dissolves clots, lowers blood pressure, and shrinks arterial plaque.

Here's how Nattokinase protects your from heart disease (and how to use it properly):🧵

Starting GLP-1 weight-loss injections? What you eat can make a big difference.

Some foods may worsen nausea, bloating, and digestive discomfort, while others can help you stay on track and feel your best.

David Sinclair says he’s been reversing plaque in his arteries with nattokinase.

On Peter Diamandis’ podcast, Sinclair shared that he’s been taking it for years and mentioned a Chinese study with 1,086 people that showed up to 95% plaque reduction in one year at sufficient doses (at least 12 fibrinolytic units daily). He also checks his own carotid arteries with ultrasound and says there’s no buildup.

Nattokinase is an enzyme from fermented soybeans that breaks down fibrin. Some human studies show it can help reduce arterial plaque and improve blood flow, but results vary. Larger, high-quality trials are still limited, so it’s considered promising but not definitive.

Cardiovascular disease is still the #1 killer. If there are accessible tools that support artery health beyond statins and lifestyle, it’s worth paying attention.

Have you heard about nattokinase or tried anything similar for heart health?

[Kulbir @LivingAlpha1]

@HunterBiden I think addiction & recovery are great topics with which to use your platform to raise awareness around.

If that is what your legacy becomes - you would have done a great service 🫡

“The best men have been broken.”

Chris Williamson shared this line from Alain de Botton on his Modern Wisdom podcast. He says you can see it in the eyes, a quiet humility, a recognition of limits, even in high achievers.

After two brutal years dealing with serious health issues, Chris realized that getting kicked in the teeth forces you to examine your patterns, motivations, and goals under a microscope. It’s uncomfortable in the moment, but it becomes a gift.

He believes almost all of our greatest accomplishments are born from our lowest points. Adversity is a terrible thing to waste.

This hit me hard. The guys who seem most grounded and impressive often carry some invisible scars. The smooth, effortless path rarely produces the same depth.

In a culture obsessed with constant wins and highlight reels, remembering that struggle forges real character is a powerful reminder. The lowest points often plant the seeds for what we become.

What’s one hard season in your life that ended up shaping you for the better?

[Living Alpha @LivingAlphaLife]

People say: No way a natural supplement can make that much difference.

Then they discover Sonomono has won:
🥇 Wellness Food Gold Award 2023
🏆 CJPF Excellence Award 2024

Maybe the better question isn't: Why do people take it?

It is: Why are so many people talking about it?

[Living Alpha @LivingAlphaLife]

Japan has some of the world’s longest-living populations. One traditional food they’ve eaten for centuries?
Natto.
A fermented soybean dish rich in nattokinase — now gaining attention in longevity circles.

Sometimes ancient wellness traditions were ahead of their time.

[Kulbir @LivingAlpha1]

This is a very powerful way to go about your life. Congrats for raising the awareness. Light has been switched on 💡 @tomas_yano 👏

Tools for maximizing productivity from bestselling author Cal Newport:

– Replace to-do lists with time blocking: look at your actual free hours and assign each one a specific task or type of work.

– Set a firm end time for work and don't go past it. The constraint forces you to be more efficient with the hours you have.

– Start at least 5 days a week with a 60 to 90 minute deep work block before anything else competes for your attention.

– Schedule exercise as a hard boundary between work and personal time, not as an afterthought. Pre-dinner is the sweet spot.

– Measure productivity in months and years, not days. Consistent deep work over time matters far more than any single session.

To get healthy and stay that way you really only need to nail the first and last ~2 hours of the day. Everything in the middle can pretty much be a wash.

6:00am-8:00am: Wake up, brush your teeth, exercise, put on a nice outfit, wash your face, eat a healthy breakfast, drink a coffee, work on something you enjoy.

8:00am-8:00pm: Doesnt matter.

8:00pm-10:00pm: Eat a healthy dinner, brush your teeth, talk to someone you love, stretch, read, get to bed on time.

Almost every “health” needle can be moved in these small windows. Most people who say its too much work are making value based decisions, not facing real constraints.

[Teddy - PolyBackTest.com @Bitcoin_Teddy]

Japanese actor Hiroyuki Sanada spoke about the contradictions of human nature:

“Some people dream of having a swimming pool at home, while those who have one hardly ever use it. Those who have lost a loved one feel a profound sense of loss, while others often complain about their living relatives. Those without a partner long for one, while those who have one often don't appreciate it. The hungry would give anything for a meal, while the satiated complain about the taste of their food. Those without a car dream of owning one, while those who have a car are always looking for a better one.”

The key to happiness is gratitude: truly seeing and appreciating what we already have, and understanding that somewhere, someone would give anything for what we take for granted.

@thegarybrecka Natto is another that is packed with a multitude of benefits.

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in the ordinary. Pets. Plants. A quiet morning coffee. Blue sky. Cotton clouds. Birds singing. The gentle breeze through the trees. A clean, cosy house. Good food. Good hearted simple poeple. So much of life’s beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here. And somehow, one of the sweetest feelings is knowing I get to wake up and meet it all again tomorrow.

[Kulbir @LivingAlpha1]

Nice to see Natto being featured below

[David Senra @FoundersPodcast]

This episode has the highest insight-to-minute ratio of any conversation I've had so far:

[Karun Pal @karunpal]

Be happy with the ordinary. If you can’t find peace in a quiet cup of coffee, no amount of fame, wealth, or status will ever feel enough. Learn to sit with yourself first. Doing nothing. No distractions. No stimulation. Just you. Let the restlessness settle. Let your mind slow down. Then add a coffee. A book. A walk. And you’ll realize that the life you were chasing was already here. In the ordinary little moments.

[Kulbir @LivingAlpha1]

@newstart_2024 He is spot on. There is a real possibility that cures for depression can emanate from how we replenish our gut microbiomes.

We are hearing feedback that regular consumers of natto are experiencing these benefits. Just another to add to the ever-growing list.

[Kulbir @LivingAlpha1]

@foundmyfitness I believe you haven't sought enough data here and thats ok. Its an area of food science that is still massively under reported.

Natto and its benefits have existed for 1000 years plus in Japanese culture and slowly but surely it will break through mainstream.

Heart, gut, bones

[Asyoulikeit @Asyouli03551268]

@foundmyfitness It worked for me! I love Nattokinase. Took it daily for 6 months. Was taking BP meds for 30 years due to getting hypertension with my last pregnancy and it never went away. Been off my meds for two years now. BP is normal and cholesterol is in check.
