Tendon pain is the most common reason people come to see me.
Most of it is self-inflicted — from doing too much, too soon, or from doing too little for too long.
Let's review what most people (including many doctors) don't understand about why tendons hurt and how to fix them. 🧵

I'm obviously a big fan of supplements. But if I had to narrow down my list to just 5 that I think most people should be taking, they'd be:

- Omega-3s
- Magnesium
- Vitamin D
- Creatine
- A high-quality multivitamin

Test results show Girl Scout Cookies are extremely toxic, ALL OF THEM.

Here is what they found inside these iconic cookies:

~100% of Girl Scout cookies contain glyphosate, controversial herbicide in Roundup.

~88% contain toxic heavy metals: Arsenic, Lead & Mercury.

~Thin Mints glyphosate levels 334 TIMES what experts consider harmful.

~Peanut Butter Patties had the highest heavy metal contamination with Lead & alarming levels of aluminum.

~76% of cookies tested exceeded Cadmium safety limits.

~96% contained Lead

This isn't just "unhealthy." It is systemic poisoning, wrapped in nostalgia & sold by children.

The organization, Girl Scouts USA, generates nearly $800 million in annual revenue from this. When presented with these findings, their response was a deafening silence.

Deliberate heat exposure using sauna and hot tubs is a potent tool for mood and depression symptoms.

In people with major depressive disorder, a single session of raising core body temperature by 2.6–3.7℉ (a mild "fever-range" heat stimulus) produced an antidepressant effect that lasted 6–8 weeks.

Follow-up work with infrared heat bed protocols has shown similar mood benefits with multiple sessions, and results appear even stronger when heat exposure is paired with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

To put the magnitude in context, on a common depression rating scale, a 3-point shift is often considered clinically meaningful—this combined approach was associated with about a 16-point improvement!

Heat isn’t a replacement for mental health care, but it is a compelling, physiology-based adjunct worth paying attention to.

@CoachDanGo Everyone says you can’t target abdominal fat… @CoachDanGo do you have study/research stats to back this up, “The catechins boost metabolism and increase fat oxidation specifically in the abdominal region.”

The Sun is 99.8% of all mass in our solar system.

Even if you somehow burned Jupiter and everything that is not the Sun in a fusion reactor, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all energy.

The Sun is all that matters long-term.

Here an important list of lesser known spices and seasonings. This list has been on my desk for months.

1. Asafoetida - A pungent resin from South Asian cuisine, used sparingly in lentil dishes or curries. It mimics onion-garlic flavors and aids digestion.
2. Black Lime (Dried Lime) - Common in Middle Eastern cooking, it adds a tangy, fermented citrus note to stews, rice, or soups.
3. Togarashi - A Japanese seven-spice blend with chili, sesame, seaweed, and citrus peel, perfect for noodles or grilled meats.
4. Sumac - A tart, lemony spice from the Mediterranean and Middle East, great for sprinkling on salads, hummus, or grilled vegetables.
5. Urfa Biber - A smoky, mildly spicy Turkish chili flake with chocolate and raisin undertones, ideal for kebabs or roasted dishes.
6. Grains of Paradise - A West African spice with peppery, floral notes, used in braises or as a black pepper substitute.
7. Amchur (Dried Mango Powder) - Adds a sour, fruity kick to Indian dishes, especially chutneys, marinades, or vegetable stir-fries.
8. Dukkah - An Egyptian nut-spice blend with sesame, coriander, and hazelnuts, used as a dip with bread or a crust for meats.
9. Szechuan Peppercorn - Not a true pepper, this Chinese spice creates a numbing, citrusy sensation, key in mapo tofu or stir-fries.
10. Vadouvan - A French-Indian curry spice blend with roasted onion, garlic, and shallots, adding depth to soups or seafood.
11. Za’atar - A Middle Eastern mix of thyme, sesame seeds, and sumac, versatile for flatbreads, roasted vegetables, or yogurt dips.
12. Tamarind Paste - A sweet-sour extract used in Southeast Asian, Indian, and Latin American dishes for marinades, sauces, or drinks.
13. Kaffir Lime Leaf - Aromatic leaves from Southeast Asia, used in curries or soups for a bright, citrusy essence.
14. Piment d’Espelette - A mildly spicy Basque chili powder, used in French and Spanish dishes for subtle heat in sauces or seafood.
15. Mastic Resin - A Greek ingredient with a piney, vanilla-like flavor, used in desserts, breads, or savory rice dishes.
