“…There is a saying that once your eyes have been opened, you cannot close them. The day you decided to stop being a sheep and become a lion, you won’t go back to be a sheep…” -Argentina President @JMilei at the Liberty Conference in Corrientes, Argentina today 👊🏻🤩🦁🌞

Makes you wonder: how much of “aging” is just chronic mineral & nutrient deficiency in disguise?
My age markers show me at 56.8 yrs, I'll be 72 soon. Pretty remarkable what my body went through.
Photo's-10+ yrs difference...never say never. 🙏🏻
* REVERSING, no signs of stopping: Snow white to Salt & Pepper: Copper feeds tyrosinase → melanin. Oxidative stress kills pigment cells. Fix the minerals, some color returns. Curl is returning.
* REVERSED: Cognitive decline / brain fog / mild “dementia-like” symptoms — Often improves with B12 (and sometimes folate or copper) repletion. Classic reversible cases of neuropathy, memory issues, and even dementia-like presentations resolve or markedly improve with B12 (or combined B12 + copper) when deficiency is the driver. Early treatment works best; long-standing damage is less reversible.
• REVERSED: Fatigue, mitochondrial energy production, muscle weakness / physical function — Glutathione precursors (NAC + glycine) improved mitochondrial fatty-acid oxidation, gait speed, grip strength, and inflammation markers in older adults in a small trial, bringing some measures closer to younger controls. Taurine supplementation in animals reversed multiple aging markers (mitochondrial function, muscle, bone, brain) and extended healthspan.
• WORKING ON: Bone density / osteoporosis risk & muscle (sarcopenia) — Copper, vitamin D, calcium, and protein support have improved bone markers and density in some deficiency-related cases. Taurine and certain micronutrient approaches also showed benefits in animal models for bone and muscle function.
• REVERSED: Skin changes, wound healing, collagen integrity — Zinc, vitamin C, copper, and peptides (including GHK-Cu) support collagen, elasticity, and repair. Deficiency-related skin issues (rashes, fragility, delayed healing) commonly reverse with repletion.
• REVERSED: Vision problems (night blindness, some progressive loss) — Vitamin A deficiency-related night blindness is classically reversible. Rare copper-deficiency-related vision loss has improved substantially with copper replacement in case reports.
• REVERSED: Anemia & related energy issues — Iron, B12, copper, and folate deficiencies cause reversible anemias; correcting them restores energy and related symptoms.
• WORKING ON: Broader biological age markers — Higher intakes of certain vitamins (especially C and B vitamins), taurine, NAD+ precursors, or short-term dietary shifts have been linked in human and animal studies to improved aging.
I've long suspected a man who regularly visits the meat counter of extreme carnivory.
He's a little older than me and he always gets either two ribeyes or two strips and three pounds of 80/20 ground beef.
So I asked him.
Me: Stocking up again?
Him: Yes, I have to. I'm not going back to disability.
Me: Disability?
Him: Yes, I was on disability for 3 years and it was the most depressing thing ever to just sit at home with no real purpose in life. I couldn't work for more than a few hours because of chronic inflammation.
My life changed after I decided to try an all meat diet. I felt like I was 30 years old again so I decided to go back to work.
My family thought I was nuts. They still do. But I don't care. Anything is better than the life I was living.
Me: So let me get this straight? You gave up free money and came out of retirement because of meat?
Him: That's why they think I'm nuts, but yes, I did and I'm not going back to that. I don't care how much money they give me.
Me: Welcome to my world!
@LiveAncestral The microbiome. Check yours. Make sure you are introducing keystone bacteria like L-Reuteri, L-Gasseri, L-Crispatus, among others that are critical to healthy metabolic function long term.
5 SHORT PRAYERS TO SAY BEFORE BEDTIME:
1. God, thank You for today.
2. Please watch over my family.
3. Forgive me for messing up.
4. Help me sleep in peace.
5. Stay with me, Jesus... please.
BREAKING: Nicaragua’s President Daniel Ortega declares the country will no longer hold elections, eliminating any future electoral challenge to his rule.
If I handed you $100 million dollars … would you take it?
Of course you would. And you’d probably say “thank you,” right?
Now what if I told you the catch is… you don’t get to wake up tomorrow?
Suddenly, the money doesn’t matter.
Which means one thing… waking up tomorrow is worth more than $100 million dollars
So when you open your eyes in the morning, don’t forget what that day is truly worth.
Now go to the gym, go to church, love your family and eat the food that leaves you feeling proud and healthy …
Human biologist and nutritionist expert Gary Brecka says the only way to extend your life is to cut out processed foods
You have to “avoid them like the plague”
Megyn Kelly “You say the only diet rule that matters is to avoid processed foods?”
Gary Brecka “Yes. I mean, processed foods are the devil. You can't eat them. You do not buy them. Do not have them in your pantry. Do not give them to your children. Avoid them like the plague.
— There is no argument for dogmatic dieting to extend life. It's not keto, paleo, pescatarian, vegan, vegetarian, carnivore, you know, raw food. The secret to extended life is the absence of processed food”
The shocking thing is that 66% of kids diets in America are processed foods and they are so unhealthy for them
The average adult eats about 53-56% processed foods
This is why we have a chronic disease epidemic in America. The majority of processed food should just be banned. We should just stop allowing ourselves to be poisoned
- 74% of American adults now are overweight or obese
- Close to 50% of children are overweight or obese
- 77% of young adults are unfit to serve in the military because of these issues like obesity
- A full 50% of American adults have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes
- Young adult cancers are up 79%
They Ran Nattokinase Against a Statin. The Enzyme Won.
A landmark randomized trial put a fermented-soybean enzyme head-to-head with simvastatin — and on the one measure that predicts heart attacks and strokes, the pennies-a-day enzyme shrank plaque more than three times as much as the drug.

Groundhog Day is one of the most beloved films ever made. And yes, Andie MacDowell is cute and charming. But that is not why it hits a chord thirty years later with people who can’t quite explain why they keep rewatching it.
The reason is Aristotle. And almost nobody knows it.
1. Phil Connors wakes up on February 2nd. Again. And again. Infinitely. No consequences, no memory from others, no tomorrow. He has been given what every hedonist, every utopian, every system that promises liberation through freedom from constraint has always promised: complete freedom from accountability. The result is not paradise. It is the most precise laboratory experiment in the history of cinema – what does a human being actually become when freed from all consequences?
2. He tries pleasure first. Eats everything, seduces women, steals money. It works, briefly, the way soma works. Then it stops working, the way soma always stops working. He tries knowledge — learns piano, French poetry, ice sculpture — not yet for virtue, but for manipulation. Still instrumental. Still empty. Then he tries suicide. Repeatedly. The groundhog always wakes him. The void cannot be escaped. It can only be filled.
3. This is Aristotle’s laboratory. Not theoretical – experimental. Eudaimonia (read below) cannot be purchased, stolen, or stumbled into. It is not a feeling. It is not a peak experience. It is the condition that results from becoming, through practice, the kind of person capable of it. Phil has infinite time and zero character at the start. The loop is not his prison. It is his curriculum.
4. The turn is the most important moment in the film and the easiest to miss. Phil stops trying to escape the loop and starts trying to improve within it. He learns piano not to impress anyone – nobody will remember tomorrow. He helps people not for reward – there is none. He becomes good with no audience, no record, no consequence. This is virtue in its purest Aristotelian form: the action done for its own sake, repeated until it becomes character.
5. Rousseau would say Phil is naturally good and the loop is oppressing him. The film says the opposite: left completely free, with no social pressure, no consequences, no system to blame, Phil reveals everything that needs work before anything worth keeping emerges. The loop doesn’t corrupt him. It shows him to himself. That is the most anti-Rousseau statement in popular cinema – and nobody noticed, because Bill Murray is just very funny.
6. He falls in love with Rita not by manipulating her — he tried that, it failed spectacularly — but by becoming someone worth loving. You cannot love your way to virtue. You can only become virtuous and discover that love becomes possible. The film gets the causality exactly right – which almost no film does.
Virtue gets you true love.
7. The loop ends when Phil has become genuinely good – not performing goodness, not strategically good, but actually virtuous through ten thousand repetitions of the right choice with no reward attached. Aristotle said virtue is a habit formed through practice. Groundhog Day is the proof of concept. The film hits a chord because everyone senses, somewhere beneath the comedy, that this is how it actually works – that there is no shortcut, no hack, no liberation through freedom from consequence. Only the truth of it. Only the practice. Only becoming, slowly and without an audience, the person you were supposed to be.
@Marie7759229903@kpvsmom@DrMcFillin Here is the one adjustment I would make because the diets will alter your micro biome leading to other issues long-term. So consider ferments and SIBO yogurt:
RFK Jr. on his carnivore diet with ferments.
Steak and yogurt for breakfast, meat and sauerkraut/kimchi for the rest.
He lost 20 pounds of visceral fat in 30 days, regained it as muscle, and his atrial fibrillation disappeared.
A strict but effective approach.
What do you think, could a carnivore-style diet work for you?
