If you’re drinking water, you’re probably doing it the wrong way. Here's the problem. Most people drink tap water, which has all sorts of chemicals in it. A tap water study done by the US Geological Survey estimates that at least 45% of tap water could have one or more PFAS. But there’s a simple solution that I started doing, which has completely changed my energy, my mood, and my biomarkers. This includes two litres of filtered water through reverse osmosis, which removes 99% of contaminants. Then I add one teaspoon of ConcenTrace trace minerals to support your hormones, your brain function, and your energy production. Then half a teaspoon of Baja Gold sea salt, which actually holds onto the water you're drinking. That's it. I drink it throughout the day. Try this for one week and tell me you will feel a massive difference in your everyday life.

If you always find yourself tired or stressed, magnesium could be the exact answer. Magnesium is one of the most common deficiencies in the world, where over 75% of people don’t get enough, and it shows up as bad sleep, constant stress, and low energy. Now let’s talk about the benefits of magnesium. When you actually have enough magnesium, you don’t just fall asleep faster. You spend more time in deep and REM sleep, which are the stages where your brain and body actually recover. Secondly, Magnesium is basically your brain’s brake pedal. 
It increases GABA (which calms you down) and reduces glutamate (which ramps you up). So if you constantly feel wired, anxious, or stuck in fight-or-flight, this might be why. And finally, magnesium is involved in over 300 processes in your body. Everything from producing energy to creating dopamine and serotonin. So if something feels “off”… there’s a good chance magnesium is part of the equation. And if you're not getting enough through food, fixing this one thing can genuinely change how you feel day to day. Source https://superpower.com/biomarkers/magnesium-test

One common misconception about vitamin D is that it’s just about bones. But actually, it’s more like a signal your body uses to regulate everything from your mood, your immune system, and even your energy. Approximately 42% of American adults are deficient in vitamin D. If you work indoors or don’t get much sunlight, there’s a good chance you’re not getting enough. Vitamin D acts like a reservoir in your body, meaning your body stores it and uses it over time to keep things running smoothly. 
But when levels drop, this can lead to low energy, your mood can dip, and your immune system gets weaker. So when you next feel like you’re burning out or stressed, have a think: am I getting enough Vitamin D? And the tricky part is, you won’t feel it instantly. It builds up slowly over time, which is why testing it is one of the easiest ways to understand what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

Everyone talks about protein, but a majority of people are missing the importance of fibre. Because, according to US National Health, 95% of Americans do not consume the recommended daily amount of dietary fibre, ranging from 10–15g a day, when the ideal is upwards of 25g, depending on your age and gender. But here's the science: fibre is the key to supporting gut health, reducing inflammation and cholesterol, keeping you full for longer, and also decreasing your risk of certain cancers like colon cancer. What I currently do every day is add Health Paleo Fibre to my smoothies every morning, and other sources can include chia seeds, high-fibre oats, lentils, beans, avocado, and many more. Comment the word “fibre,” and I’ll send you my guide on fibre, which shows you all the ways you can add fibre to your diet (guide on soluble and insoluble fibres???).

There’s a common misconception about cortisol, where most people think it’s just the “stress hormone,” so they try to lower it all the time. But that’s actually the problem. Because your body is supposed to have high cortisol in the morning → to wake you up by viewing bright light, ideally sunlight, hydration, and exercise, and then you’re supposed to have low cortisol at night → to help you sleep. Overall, cortisol connects your brain, metabolism, immune system, and cardiovascular health. So high cortisol isn’t concerning at all, it’s the timing that matters, and once you fix the timing, your energy and sleep start fixing themselves.

If you use protein powder, your shake might be giving you more than just protein. The new study by Consumer Reports tested 23 popular protein powders and shakes, and they found that nearly two-thirds of them contain detectable levels of heavy metals, including lead, above the safety guidelines. The worst offenders? Plant-based products, especially pea protein. And this isn't new news. The Clean Label Project also found that half of their tested products contain more lead than California's Prop 65 limits. Now, the point is not to panic. These levels will not kill us overnight. But the concern is long-term exposure, because long-term exposure to lead can lead to issues such as fertility problems and hormone imbalances, especially if you're drinking them every day. Personally, the best protein powder I’ve been able to find is Paleovalley, so try to remember these things when you're picking your protein powders. And remember that whole foods always come before supplements.

Most people, especially men, focus on testosterone as if it’s the only thing that matters. But what actually matters is the balance between testosterone and estrogen. And yes, men actually need estrogen too. Because your body is constantly converting testosterone into estrogen. This means that even if you have normal testosterone, you can still have low energy, brain fog, and stubborn weight gain. So a lot of people try to boost testosterone without realising the issue is that too much of it is being converted into estrogen. So the real question isn’t: is my testosterone low? It’s: “Is my body out of balance?” That’s why looking at your T:E2 ratio gives you a completely different picture of your health, not just your hormone levels, but how your body is actually functioning.
