Perhaps we exist and function in multiple dimensions at the same time, yet we’re only consciously aware of this one.

We’re players/pieces in a five-dimensional chess game. However, we’re largely unaware of the existing relationship between the boards.

🚨THIS CHEMICAL IN YOUR DRINKING WATER IS TURNING MALE FROGS INTO FEMALES—AND IT'S IMPACTING OUR SONS THE SAME WAY.

The EPA calls it “safe,” but Europe outlawed it two decades back.

ATRAZINE—about 85 million pounds dumped annually on American cornfields—is lurking in your faucet at concentrations shown to disrupt hormones in humans.

Facts from science are clear:

Atrazine's Documented Dangers – Directly from Research:

- Chemical Emasculation: Converts male frogs to egg-producing females at just 0.1 ppb; leads to full gender switch & intersex traits (Hayes et al., PNAS 2002, 2010)
- Destroys Male Reproduction: Reduces sperm by up to 50%, shrinks testes, causes sterility in humans and wildlife (Swan et al., 2003; Fan et al., 2011)
- Cancer Promoter: Likely carcinogen in humans—linked to prostate, breast, ovarian, lymphoma, leukemia (IARC 2024; Pathak et al., 2022)
- Congenital Issues: Linked to premature births, reduced birth weight, reproductive malformations, neurological problems (Waller et al., 2010; Agopian et al., 2013)
- Endocrine Disruption: Acts like estrogen, suppresses testosterone → puberty delays and effective “castration” (Cooper et al., 2000)
- Neurological Harm: Associated with Parkinson’s, mental fog, anxiety among agricultural workers (various studies suppressed by EPA)
- Metabolic Problems: Exposure in utero leads to obesity and diabetes in adulthood (Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2020)

Europe: Zero ppb permitted.
USA: Up to 3 ppb deemed “acceptable.”

The masculinity of your boys is being sacrificed for inexpensive corn.

Purify your water. Reverse Osmosis & distilled.

"The most important thing is to enjoy your life—to be happy—it’s all that matters." ~Audrey Hepburn

I would add...

Gratitude for even the smallest things acts like a mental and physical reset, fostering resilience, health, and happiness with compounding effects over time.

Practicing gratitude, even for small things, has profound effects on both the body and mind, backed by extensive research in psychology and neuroscience.

Lori nailed the lifestyle part — but here’s the deeper layer:
Your DNA responds to your habits.

As a geneticist, here’s how I’d add to this from a DNA perspective:

1. APOE affects dementia risk — but movement & diet can shift the outcome

2. MTHFR impacts detox & mood — folate-rich foods help support it

3. COMT shapes how you handle stress — exercise & calm routines make a difference

4. DNA methylation changes with food, sleep, even mindset

5. Telomeres age slower with anti-inflammatory habits

6. Your gut microbiome influences gene expression — and it's shaped by what you eat

7. Epigenetics means your choices literally change how genes behave

You’re not stuck with your genes.
You’re the editor of your own biological story.

@JeffJamesAlive @LoriShemek Happy birthday!! 🎈🎊 🎂

Almost all chronic diseases that are prevalent today are associated with not being active enough.

The problem is, few people are active enough.

The Global Alliance for the Promotion of Physical Activity have recently published a consensus statement with 5 key messages to change the narrative:

1️⃣ Promote physical activity as medicine: Health, wellness, and happiness begin at home. Let influencers spread the message that prevention is better than cure.

2️⃣ Lobby decision-makers: Create toolkits for Global Alliance members to influence governments, businesses, and NGOs to invest in physical activity to save lives and save money.

3️⃣ Adapt physical activity to individuals and communities: Tailor activities to age, gender, socioeconomics, culture, and surroundings. One size doesn't fit all!

4️⃣ Leverage tech: Join forces with tech, pharma, and education to integrate physical activity into daily life. Wearables, smartphones, and the internet can make it fun and accessible.

5️⃣ Call for more trials: We need well-designed studies on physical activity's effectiveness and implementation, especially for underserved minorities.

@FatherMcKennaa Taylor, it’s a pleasure to finally meet you. I’ve gained a lot from you: inspiration, knowledge, reassurance, reason, and hope. Your struggles have given you your credibility and I’m so glad to know you here.

The childhood obesity rate in Japan is 4%

The United States is 500% higher.

We are uniquely poisoning our kids in America.

And the solution isn’t more drugs.

Apigenin is a flavonoid that has broad effects from reducing anxiety to improving sleep, preventing chronic diseases, apigenin has much to offer. It is known for its numerous health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anticancer properties.

Some food sources: https://t.co/iIgRvD7mww

The Top Potential Benefits of Apigenin are Impressive:

👉Works as an antioxidant
👉Works as an anti-inflammatory to reduce pain. (This flavonoid has been shown to decrease the release of cytokines, which can overproduce and lead to disease.)
👉Apigenin supports cardiovascular health by reducing blood pressure and inflammation.
👉This flavone is known for its relaxing and sedative effects. It has been shown to reduce cortisol levels, helping prevent the body’s response to chronic stress. *Why chammomile tea helps with relaxation.
👉Helps improves insulin resistance - fights diabetes.
👉Helps fight cancer in many types of tumors, including lung, liver, colon, prostate, pancreatic, breast, skin, blood and cervical.
👉Can increase testosterone.
👉Enhanced NAD levels
