I hate yelling. I hate getting out of character. I hate arguing. I hate being mad. I hate everything that makes me negative.

Avoid the temptation of revealing how hard you work — it only raises questions.

The secret to couples therapy? Here’s what I told @jayshetty ⬇️

It's actually individual therapy in disguise.

Before couples walk into my office together, I ask each person separately: "If you're going to be the best version of yourself in this relationship—regardless of what your partner does—what's one thing *you* want to work on?"

And here's what happens: As each person does their individual work, they don't change their partner—but they *influence* them.

One person shifts their behavior. The other responds differently. Back and forth. A virtuous cycle instead of a vicious one.

Because here's the truth: When your partner snaps at you, you assume it's because they’re disrespectful. When you snap at your partner, you know it's because you’re reacting to something that happened earlier in the day.

We have full context for our own behavior and zero context for theirs. We bring our history, our baggage, our "12 people" into every fight about who does the laundry.

Real change starts when you work on yourself—not when you try to fix your partner.

Calmness is a superpower. The ability to not overreact or take things personally keeps your mind clear and your heart at peace.

A devastating critique of modern oncology from a leading voice, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong.

He reveals a fundamental flaw in our 40-year war on cancer: the very treatments we hail as first-line defenses—chemotherapy and radiation—systematically destroy the patient's best long-term allies: their NK cells and T-cells.

We celebrate short-term "response rates" (tumor shrinkage) as victory. But this is a pyrrhic victory. By wiping out the immune system's memory and killing cells, we leave the body defenseless against metastasis, which is ultimately what kills most patients.

The tragedy is compounded by the solution. Dr. Soon-Shiong states we have the knowledge to change this paradigm now. The first step for any cancer patient should be to build and protect the immune system, not decimate it.

Yet, as his clinic receives over 10,000 desperate requests with only 30 available spots, he voices a profound despair. This life-saving approach remains inaccessible to the masses, locked away by a system resistant to change.

The solution, he insists, is not a distant dream. It could be made available to the nation "by a stroke of a pen." The knowledge exists. The failure is one of implementation, leaving thousands to a fate we have the power to prevent.

It’s Happening ‼️

American at Walmart shows both Fruit by the Foot and Fruit Roll-Ups have now hit the shelves 100% free of artificial dyes. Vegetable juice and fruit juice is now used for coloring

RFK Jr and Donald Trump are delivering on MAHA

The price is the same as those with the dyes

This shows these companies should have removed the dyes at any time with no additional cost and they choose not to

[Valerie Anne Smith @ValerieAnne1970]

The American Heart Assn. Has Changed 'Normal' Blood Pressure To 110/70...Every Time They Lower The Numbers, Millions Of People Need Drugs.

In 1970, Normal BP Was 160/95. In 1985 It Was 140/90. And Now 120/80 Is Considered 'Elevated.'

That's Not Medicine. That's $40B Marketing.

The bar has been lowered once again & under new guidelines, more Americans meet the criteria for high blood pressure & are pressured to start taking antihypertensive medications.

The AHA & ACC (American Heart Association & American College of Cardiology) in August 2025 just released hypertension 'updated' guidelines shifting 10 points lower across all categories in order to make more people diagnosed as hypertensive to prescribe more drugs.

'Normal' is now 110/70 or less.
'Elevated' is now 120/80 & qualifies for blood pressure medications.
'Stage 1 Hypertension' is now 130/80 & qualifies for even greater aggressive medication.

Here's why this is not medicine but marketing...

The new guidelines are based on results of a large, federally funded study called SPRINT, backed by pharmaceutical giants & stockholders...which found a 25% 'relative risk' reduction in cardiovascular events using a lower blood pressure target.

25% reduction was the 'relative risk reduction' not the 'absolute risk reduction.' Relative risk reduction is useless & misleading, whereas absolute risk reduction is the actual percent helped by an intervention.

The absolute reduction in cardiovascular events was only 2% – SPRINT also used an especially high-risk population, so patients with low or average risk for cardiovascular events had 0% benefit or absolute reduction.

Is lower blood pressure always better? definitely not...

The AHA & ACC assume that a lower blood pressure is always better, but some primary care doctors challenge that doctrine. “Once you get to a certain point, if you lower blood pressure further, your rate of stroke & heart attack increases,” says Dr Andy Lazris, primary care doctor & Right Care Alliance council chair.

Doctors are graded on how well they get patients to the new hypertension target. These grades affect doctors’ pay.

Dr. Andy Lazris admits, “If I lower my patient’s blood pressure & they fall and break their hip due to the medication causing dizziness & fainting...I still get paid.”

“Treating blood pressure with medicine is a risky intervention,” says  Dr. Ronald Adler, associate professor of family medicine & community health at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

“BP medications cause adverse effects such as kidney & electrolyte abnormalities, not to mention the increased risks of complications such as dizziness & falls that inevitably result when BP is lowered too much,” says Adler, “Because the new guidelines suggest that people be treated initially with 2 drugs, such experiences will be even more common.”

Side Effects of Blood Pressure Medications:
Heart palpitations
Fainting
Kidney dysfunction
Angioedema (swelling of face/tongue)
Joint pain
Chronic cough
Low sodium & potassium
Dizziness
Headache
Dehydration
Muscle cramps
Gout
Insomnia
Constipation
Tiredness
Depression
Slow heartbeat
Symptoms of asthma
Sexual dysfunction

Your own unique optimal blood pressure can be obtained thru diet & lifestyle interventions:

A whole foods diet consisting of low sugar, no seed oils, no processed foods & including abundant nutrient dense animal sourced foods will normalize blood pressure for you.

Prioritizing the minerals Potassium & Magnesium is crucial. Both are involved in the body's Sodium Potassium Pump System. Supporting these important minerals by using unrefined mineral salt & in supplements when needed to heal deficiency will also yield your own normal Blood Pressure.

Bioavailable Magnesium needs are at least 600 mg per day & Potassium guidelines are at minimum 4,700 mg per day. Most people do not even get 50% of these minimums, leaving their heart & blood vessels to work harder than our physiology is intended to.

Dr Gilbert Welch, Dartmouth professor, "focusing on the number 110/70 not only will involve millions of people but also will involve millions of new prescriptions & millions of dollars."

"It distracts doctors & their patients from activities that aren't easily measured by numbers, yet are more important to health — real food, regular movement & finding meaning in life. These matter whatever your blood pressure is."
