Thinking about getting a tattoo? Or know someone who is?

Research now shows tattoos can raise your risk of serious cancers:
⚠️ Skin cancer
⚠️ Lymphomas (3x higher risk)

Here’s why:
🖤 Tattoo ink doesn’t just stay in your skin
➡️ It migrates into your lymph nodes
➡️ Builds up over time
➡️ Triggers chronic inflammation

And the bigger the tattoo, and the longer you’ve had it, the greater the risk.

Because at the end of the day — ink isn’t meant to be inside your body.
Your immune system sees it as foreign, and that long-term stress can create the perfect conditions for cancer to grow.

Sometimes the best choice… is to skip it.

Research suggests that synthetic fibre clothing has a range of negative health impacts.

I believe that switching to natural fibre clothing is a simple way to reduce your toxin burden and protect your longevity.

This might be one of the easiest high-protein breakfasts you can make.
Take:

• 2 ripe bananas for natural energy, potassium, and digestion-friendly fibre
• 4 eggs for high-quality protein, healthy fats, and brain-supporting choline
• 2 scoops of your favourite protein powder to boost muscle repair and keep hunger away

Blend everything together.

Lightly grease the pan with a little butter to support hormones and help with satiety.
Pour and cook like pancakes.

Top with:
• Low-fat Greek yoghurt for extra protein and gut-friendly probiotics
• A handful of berries for antioxidants, fibre, and blood-sugar balance

What you get:
• High protein to keep you full for hours
• Stable blood sugar and steady energy
• Gut support from probiotics and fibre
• Nutrients that support muscle, brain, and metabolism

Simple ingredients. Real food. A powerful way to start the day.

👟 WHY A SHOES-OFF HOME IS A HEALTHIER HOME
ㅤ
🧲 Heavy metals
☠️ Lead
💩 Faeces & urine
🍄 Mould
🦠 E. coli
🛣️ Asphalt residue
🛢️ Motor oil
⚠️ Allergens
ㅤ
Shoes track outdoor contaminants indoors, where they accumulate in dust and increase exposure risk, especially for children who spend more time on floors. Removing shoes at the door significantly reduces indoor contamination.

8 Controversial Truths About Environmental Toxins You Need to Know

As a longevity researcher, I’ve uncovered some harsh realities about everyday toxins that most people don’t hear but should.

1️⃣ Your home can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outside thanks to cleaning products, air fresheners and flame retardants. Open windows or get an air purifier.
2️⃣ Plastic containers leach chemicals especially when heated so avoid microwaving food in plastic.
3️⃣ Some non-stick pans release harmful compounds when overheated. Switch to cast iron, stainless steel or ceramic.
4️⃣ Tap water often contains microplastics, metals and pharmaceuticals. Invest in a quality filter.
5️⃣ Cosmetics and personal care products may contain hormone-disrupting toxins absorbed through your skin.
6️⃣ Household dust holds toxins too. Damp dust and HEPA vacuum regularly and remove shoes indoors.
7️⃣ Beware “fragrance” on labels as it can hide dozens of harmful chemicals.
8️⃣ Total toxin avoidance is not possible or healthy. Focus on major exposures and don’t stress. Stress ages you faster than most toxins.
Protect your longevity by making smart, manageable changes your future self will thank you for.

If you’re craving something sweet but still want to eat well, this is one of the easiest tricks I know.

Freeze your bananas.

When bananas freeze and then slowly thaw, the structure of the fruit changes. Some starches convert, the texture becomes creamy, and the flavour turns naturally sweeter. No added sugar.

Frozen bananas are also much easier on your blood sugar and your gut. They contain more resistant starch, which your gut bacteria love to feed on.

Here’s how I do it:
• Peel ripe bananas
• Put them in an airtight bag
• Freeze them for up to six months
• Blend them or eat slightly thawed as a simple dessert

It tastes like a treat, but your body responds very differently compared to a typical sugary dessert.

The problem is that our natural production of butyrate drops as we age.

That’s why I’ve been adding frozen bananas to my post training shakes. I use frozen bananas because they are organic, ready to use, and an easy way to support the microbiome every day.

Simple change. Big long term benefits.

Why some egg yolks are pale and others dark orange

Pale yolks usually come from chickens that never go outside. Labels like “free-range” or “cage-free” can be misleading—these chickens are often still kept in huge warehouses, sometimes 50,000 birds in a single room.

Pasture-raised chickens live outdoors, eating natural foods like grass, bugs, and seeds. This makes a big difference in the eggs they produce.

A pasture-raised egg can contain:
• Nearly twice the omega-3s of standard eggs
• Three times more vitamin E
• Up to seven times more beta-carotene

Yes, they cost more, but the nutrient boost is worth it.

Think you’re drinking from a paper cup?
ㅤ
You’re actually sipping from a plastic-lined trap.
ㅤ
That thin plastic layer breaks down quickly when exposed to heat, releasing up to 25,000 microplastics into your hot drink in just 15 minutes.
ㅤ
These particles have been linked to inflammation, oxidative stress, and even DNA damage.
ㅤ
Bringing your own metal cup isn’t just eco-friendly. It’s a health essential.

If you’re worried about exposure to plastics, check out the detoxification link in my bio. It’s my recommendation to safely remove harmful plastic compounds from your body 🔥
