At 48, I stared in the mirror, but all I could see was a stranger…
I had heart disease.
Back pain so bad, I couldn’t even SNEEZE without fear.
And the worst part? I was a doctor, and I couldn’t even fix myself.
🧵
When I was a kid, I sat on a dead hornet. It stung me anyway.
Bacteria work the same way. When the gum bacterium P. gingivalis dies, the fragments it leaves behind keep inflaming your tissue.
Killing the bad bugs is only half the job. You also have to crowd them out.
Floss, and eat your fermented foods.
For most of human history, "sweet" meant "energy." You failed the hunt, you were starving, and something sweet kept you going.
Modern chemistry broke that deal. Your mouth gets the promise of energy but your metabolism never gets the delivery. All sorts of things get de-optimized as a result.
Splenda tastes sweet.
Your sparkling water tastes sweet.
Stevia tastes sweet.
Monk fruit tastes sweet.
Your protein shake tastes sweet.
Your electrolyte packet tastes sweet.
Your "healthy" yogurt tastes sweet.
But sweetness is the enemy.
Your gums are connected to your heart.
Your gums are connected to your waistline.
Your gums are connected to your joints.
Your gums are connected to your liver.
Your gums are connected to your blood sugar.
Your gums are connected to your brain.
Your gums are connected to your mood.
Your gums are connected to the child growing in your belly.
And you still won't floss?

The mirror is both your most honest critic and the most convincing liar.
Because it only shows you the surface.
Get the MRI.
Black coffee taste bitter.
Plain kefir tastes sour.
Raw kimchi smells terrible.
But when you avoid sugar and recalibrate your palate, all of these things start tasting GREAT. Sure, you don't get to eat sugar, but you enjoy every other flavor more.
You blame your slowing metabolism on age, but check your mouth first.
In mice, a single gum bacterium dropped adiponectin, a protective hormone, by 65% in 18 hours. This hormone effected genes that run metabolism.
Your body's systems don't run in isolation to each other.
I'm 63, healthier than many 30 year olds. I have never taken a steroid, a stem cell, a peptide, a hormone, or a performance drug. I train about five minutes a day.
My exercise program is simple: I walk most days, then sprint in varying doses. I run until I'm gasping, maximum effort.
Can't sprint yet, or don't have an air bike? Drop and do push-ups to exhaustion.
Stop jogging. Just walk and sprint.

Your body already makes xylitol. A trace amount, gone in a moment, a passing step in metabolism. A xylitol-sweetened product, however, delivers far more than your body ever makes.
Did you know higher blood levels of xylitol track with more cardiovascular events?
Better to reset your taste preference. Learn to love real foods. Stop scrounging for an artificial sweetener.
Some of your fat protects you. Some of it is killing you.
Visceral fat, heart fat, and fat marbled into your muscle drive inflammation and chronic disease.
The superficial fat just under your skin is actually linked to lower rates of heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and dementia.
Your body treats them differently, and so should you. Yes, too much of any fat is a problem, but a bathroom scale lumps the protector and the killer into one number.
Get the MRI. It ends the lie.
Race car driver. Busy executive. Family man.
He came to me carrying excess weight and visceral fat disease.
Now? Leaner. Sharper. Optimizing his biology—and preparing to take that excellence on the road.
While most people accept biological decline, he’s pursuing the opposite.
If you’re not using MRI to measure and verify the elimination of visceral fat disease, you’re guessing & you’re WRONG. #LivingDiet
Better Biology. Better Performance.
Your mouth is wired into the rest of your body, in surprising ways.
1. The bacterium that eats your gum line, Porphyromonas gingivalis, is linked to heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, liver disease, and depression.
2. Your gums are packed with immune tissue. Researchers found dental floss delivered a vaccine more effectively than a shot. Your dentist is right to nag you about your gum health.
Take care of your mouth. Your heart, and the rest of your body, is downstream.
In the lab, xylitol made platelets clot more readily.
In rodents, Splenda and stevia altered gut bacteria for two generations of descendants. Inherited changes from sweeteners.
A glucose spike is the least of your problems. Better to drop the sugar AND the sweeteners.
1. Treat sweetness as a signal your body acts on, because it does.
2. Read the labels on your yogurt, electrolytes, and protein powder.
3. Ditch the sweetened sparkling water and gum.
4. Stop swapping one sweetener for the next.
5. Let plain food taste like itself for a while.

You jog 4 miles every morning and your waistline hasn't improved at all. You've destroyed your knees for nothing.
Of all the ways to exercise, the light jog is one of the worst. Your ancestors walked most of the day and ran all out when they had to go after prey, or run away from a threat, or toward a child in danger. They didn't jog.
Walk. Sprint. Skip the middle.

I've been on "The Living Diet" for 23 days now with NO cheats. My clothes are starting to get really loose!
Went on @MegynKellyShow today with @megynkelly . She was the first host i have ever spent time with who i think values her health more than the show. She is the real deal. Big thanks for the opportunity to educate even more about real disease - visceral, hear & muscle fat rather than cholesterol. Great show Great Host.
