Are you taking a PPI?
Read thisšŸ‘‡

Proton pump inhibitors reduce stomach acidā€¦ and stomach acid is one of the bodyā€™s first lines of defense against pathogens.

When acid is strong, many parasites, bacteria, and microbes are destroyed before they ever make it into the intestines.

When that acid is suppressed for long periods of time, the stomach becomes far less hostile to invaders.

That means organisms that normally would have been killed off can pass through the stomach and colonize the gut.

Studies have shown increased susceptibility to infections like Giardia, Cryptosporidium, and other intestinal parasites in people taking long term acid suppressing medications.

This is one of the reasons I always remind peopleā€¦ stomach acid is not the enemy.

It is part of the bodyā€™s protection system. When we shut that system down, we donā€™t just affect digestionā€¦ we affect the entire microbial balance of the gut.

Your body was designed with defenses for a reason.

Sometimes the problem isnā€™t too much acidā€¦ itā€™s that weā€™ve forgotten how important it actually is. šŸ§¬āœØ

I have seen something in the ICU that most people do not realize is possibleā€¦

Someone survives a widow maker heart attack.

A widow maker is a blockage in the Left Anterior Descending artery, the artery that supplies a huge portion of the front wall of the heart.

When that artery closes suddenly it can be catastrophic.
But sometimes the body has been preparing for years.

When arteries slowly narrow over time, the body does something remarkable.

It begins building tiny detour vessels called collateral circulation.

These small blood vessels enlarge and connect with neighboring arteries so blood can still reach the heart muscle.

Think of it like back roads forming when the main highway starts getting congested.

I have watched patients come into the ICU with a completely blocked LADā€¦ and they were still awake, talking, and stable.

When cardiology performed the angiogram they would say the same thing every timeā€¦

ā€œWowā€¦ look at those collaterals.ā€
The heart had built its own natural bypass.

Does that mean there is no damageā€¦ no. But it can absolutely mean the difference between life and death.

The human body is not fragile.
It is adaptive.
It is intelligent.

And it is always trying to preserve life.
The heartā€¦ truly is an incredible organ. ā¤ļø

Sometimes we spend so much time wishing we were somewhere elseā€¦ a different job, a different body, a different season of life, a different place entirely.

But growth does not wait for perfect conditions.

That tiny sprout pushing up through concrete did not ask if the environment was ideal. It simply used what it hadā€¦ a crack in the pavement, a little light, a little moistureā€¦ and it grew.

We are not meant to stay stuck. We are meant to adapt, root deeper, and rise.

Even when life feels hardā€¦ even when the environment feels less than supportiveā€¦ the same life force that moves through nature moves through you.

So wherever you find yourself todayā€¦ grow there.
Root in. Reach up. Trust the process.

You are far more resilient than you realize. šŸŒæ

šŸ’„1977 was the year saturated fat was officially turned into the villain of the American diet.

That was the year the U.S. Senate released the Dietary Goals for the United States, led by Senator George McGovern.

Those guidelines told Americans to eat less fatā€¦ especially saturated fatā€¦ and to replace it with carbohydrates.

Overnight the foods humans had eaten for generationsā€¦ eggs, butter, red meat, tallowā€¦ were suddenly framed as dangerous.

What many people do not realize is that the narrative had been building for years before that.

A major influence came from the work of Ancel Keys and his diet heart hypothesisā€¦ the idea that saturated fat raised cholesterol and therefore caused heart disease.

The problem was that the science was never as settled as it was presented to the public. Even at the time there were researchers strongly challenging those conclusions.

Another piece of the story that rarely gets talked about involves the American Heart Association. In the 1940s the organization was a small cardiology group with very little funding.

Then in 1948 the vegetable oil company Procter & Gamble donated what would be about $1.7 million in todayā€™s dollars to the AHAā€¦ an enormous amount of money at the time.

That funding helped launch the organization into national prominence.

Not long after, the AHA began strongly promoting vegetable oils like Crisco and encouraging Americans to replace traditional animal fats with industrial seed oils.

By the time the 1977 dietary guidelines were releasedā€¦ the groundwork had already been laid.

The food industry pivoted quickly. Fat was removed from foods and replaced with sugar, refined grains, and seed oils to maintain flavor and shelf life.

Grocery stores filled with low fat processed foods that were marketed as ā€œheart healthy.ā€

And yetā€¦ since that shift we have watched obesity, diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and chronic disease explode.

Meanwhile the foods our ancestors ate for centuriesā€¦ eggs, meat, butter, broth, and animal fatsā€¦ became the ones people were told to fear.

Sometimes when you follow the money and the policyā€¦ the nutrition story begins to look very different. šŸ’°

If eggs were so bad for youā€¦ and cholesterol was truly the villain weā€™ve been told it isā€¦

Then explain something that happens every day in burn units...

In severe burn injuries the body enters one of the most intense metabolic states known in medicine. The body is trying to rebuild skin, repair tissue, fight infection, replace fluids, and support immune function all at once.

The nutritional demand is enormous.

Because of that, physicians and dietitians often order extremely high protein dietsā€¦ and itā€™s not unusual for burn patients to receive 10, 15, even up to 20 eggs a day as part of their recovery plan.

Why eggs?

Because eggs are one of the most complete healing foods we have.

They provide highly bioavailable protein with all essential amino acids needed to rebuild tissue.

They contain cholesterol, which the body uses as a building block for new cell membranes and hormones during repair.

They are rich in choline, vitamin A, selenium, and healthy fats that support immune function and skin regeneration.

When the body is under extreme stress and fighting to healā€¦ medical teams donā€™t reach for ultra processed food or fear cholesterol.

They reach for nutrient dense, whole foods the body can actually use.

So the question becomesā€¦ if eggs and cholesterol were truly dangerousā€¦ why are they one of the first foods used when the body needs to heal the fastest? šŸ„š

Eat more eggs!!!
