@craigclemens So much to say about this but also that park is one of the most beautiful parks in Los Angeles, but unfortunately never go there because of the homeless situation
@elonmusk There so so much we can do to slow down and even reverse the fertility crisis. Human beings were made to reproduce: a mismatch between our bodies and the environment we are living in today.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr Gives His Opening Remarks at Sen. Ron Johnson's Roundtable on American Health & Nutrition
"The FDA, USDA, and CDC are all controlled by giant for-profit corporations. Their function is no longer to improve and protect the health of Americans. Their function is to advance the mercantile and commercial interests of the pharmaceutical industry and food industry that has transformed them into sock puppets for the industries they are supposed to regulate."
@RobertKennedyJr@SenRonJohnson@HighWireTalk
@calleymeans@maxlugavere@travelingenes "Over the last 60 years, almost all food additives were being created for one sole purpose. To improve the bottom line of the food industry, and not improve our health."

AND… they changed the title. 🤯 Made it about ONE dietician’s point of view rather than a blanket statement.
All of the outrage, the shares, the comments yesterday I’d have to *guess* had impact here. Who knows.
Still a ridiculous article but I’d call this a win.
Stay loud. Stay aware. Don’t accept the BS when it crosses your path. 👊
Studies after study show that nutrients like L-carnitine, vitamins C and E, NAC, zinc, and have more than a 4x chance of their partner conceiving and a 5x higher chance of a live birth compared to men not taking antioxidants @maxlugavere

Preconception micronutrient supplementation may have long-term benefits for offspring cognition.
Children of women given a supplement with 15 micronutrients had better intellectual functioning compared to children whose mothers were given folic acid only. https://t.co/bYRb4jXjRh

After my mother's death, my sister told me that "she lives inside us."
This wasn't a metaphor. As Casey explained, my mom's presence in our lives physically changed the makeup of our cells.
I'm feeling my mom's presence today, on the release of our book dedicated to her.
Gayle's death helped put all the pieces together for me:
**My experience consulting for the food and pharma industries to generate more profit by ensuring more Americans are addicted and sick (which, by definition, makes them more money)
**My sister's experience in medical training (NIH, Stanford, surgical residency) being pressured to perform procedures she knew weren't going to help patients and reprimanded when she suggested root cause lifestyle interventions
**My mom's oncologists jumping to action when they could perform interventions on Stage 4 cancer but ignoring 40 years of warning signs that would've prevented it...
In these personal experiences, I couldn't help but see explanations and answers to the greatest threat our country faces: the fact that rates of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, upper respiratory disease, kidney disease, fatty liver disease, dementia, autoimmune conditions, autism, and nearly every other chronic condition are at all time high - particularly among children - this year.
Everything, everywhere is going up all at once -- and our medical leaders are telling us the reasons are a mystery.
It is not a mystery. We are being lied to. The explanations are actually very simple and we can address them quickly.
As Casey so brilliantly describes, there is another path available to us. A path of health empowerment and thriving. A path of feeling better today and preventing disease tomorrow. A path of realizing that 90% of deaths and healthcare costs are rooted in metabolic conditions that we know how to prevent and reverse.
I also am convinced our metabolic health crisis is a spiritual crisis. The largest and fastest industry in the country has weaponized our fear of death and convinced us that trusting the cycles and intuition of nature is "non-scientific." We have been badgered to "trust the science" and ignore the interconnectivity of disease.
Below is my favorite passage from the book about these concepts:
THE FEAR MACHINE THAT KEEPS US SICK AND DEPENDENT
The impact we have on others—the people we love, the people we mistreat, the people we teach, the people who read our writing—literally changes their biology and lives forever. As my mom and I danced and hugged under the moonlight, I thought about how this loving experience with her was literally changing the physical neural pathways and biology in my body through neurotransmitter and hormone release, reinforcing synapses, and transferring microbiomes to each other. My experience of her—and all people with whom I choose to interact—will physically encode itself in me.
On January 7, 2021, I received a Facetime call from my mother while I was preparing dinner, tears streaming down her face as she told me that she was dying, that she had to leave me, and that she would not meet my future children. She relayed that she had learned earlier that day that her vague stomach pain had actually been widely metastatic stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and she had softball-sized tumors throughout her belly.
Over the next thirteen days—the final days of my mom’s consciousness, she received hundreds of letters about the impact she'd had on people's lives. I will never forget the gratitude and poignant emotion on her face as she sat reading them, while outside on the porch overlooking the Pacific. Every note was from a human who’d been biochemically changed because of my mother’s impact on them. Just as we had talked about in Sedona, I could feel that she was fundamentally immortal due to her impact on everyone in her life and her energetic ripple effect in the universe, which every one of us is connected to and contributes to by our sheer existence. She was without fear as she held my hand and told me that she could feel her life force rapidly retreating.
Days after she died, we buried her in a natural cemetery along the coastline. How profound to lower her beautiful body into a small patch of dirt among the endless expanse of the ocean. This woman—whom my brother and I had lived inside of, our source, who built my body and consciousness, who traveled the world, and who impacted thousands of people—disintegrated into the earth to feed the trees and flowers and mushrooms above her in an eternal cycle.
Worrying about the years her physical body existed on Earth seemed so irrelevant. All my years of anxiety about my mortality and the mortality of my family had been wasted energy. Death is uncontrollable and it is OK. I feel that because when I held my mother as she took her last breath, she was OK. In her final waking moments, she whispered to me that we are here to protect the energy of the universe. That it all—the life, the death—was perfect.
Lowering my mother into the soil, I felt the deepest sense that my mother and I—and everything and everyone else—are inextricably intertwined, and nothing about death can change that. Despite the man-made forces creating the deafening perception of separation, scarcity, and fear in order to exert power, create dependency, and extract money from humans and nature—just as the forty-two specialties of medicine obfuscating the reality of one body—we can push back and we can embody a different truth of total connectedness and limitlessness. I felt Rumi’s words wash over me: “Don’t grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.” and “Why think separately of this life and the next when one is born of the last?” And in the solidification of that belief, I felt the next layer of Good Energy open for me: fearlessness.
The grip of existential worry and chronic low-grade fear that had lived in me from early childhood started to be processed and released, and in that, I felt my health shift and I felt compelled to continue the journey of becoming empowered by my true nature as dynamic, eternal process, a concept I’d never been taught in my medical training. My mind was relaxing and my cells were becoming free to do their best possible work.
Your cells are like your babies, and they need you to provide the right environment for them to thrive. Tune in as we dive into reclaiming health and operating with Good Energy with @CaseyMeansMD and @calleymeans .
Despite medical advancements, we're getting sicker due to metabolic and mitochondrial dysfunction, while big pharma profits. This week, I talked with @CaseyMeansMD and @calleymeans about advocating for better healthcare access and simple ways to boost metabolic health and energy. #GoodEnergy
