Most people snack aimlessly. But what if your snack could "tilt" your entire microbiome in weeks? 🧵 New data shows pistachios are a prebiotic powerhouse that outperform even almonds for gut health. Here is why they are the holy grail of gut metabolites: (1/3)

Dr. James Salisbury, 1860s Civil War physician. Union soldiers were dying. Not from bullets. From dysentery, scurvy, and typhoid. The military diet: Hardtack, beans, coffee. Minimal meat due to cost. Salisbury observed: Soldiers with access to beef recovered faster from everything. Wounds healed quicker. Infections cleared. Energy returned. He started prescribing pure beef. Three times daily. Nothing else. The results were so dramatic that officers started requisitioning beef specifically for sick soldiers. Salisbury published his findings in 1888: "The Relation of Alimentation and Disease." His conclusion: Most chronic diseases stem from improper fermentation in the digestive system caused by eating starches and vegetables. His prescription: Minced beef, three times daily, with hot water. For weeks or months depending on severity. He documented successful treatment of: - Tuberculosis - Rheumatism - Mental disorders - Digestive diseases - Obesity - Gout His work was hugely influential. Salisbury steak was named after him. Originally it wasn't a convenience food. It was medicine. By 1920s: Pharmaceutical companies developing antibiotics and drugs for the same conditions. By 1950s: Salisbury's work is ignored, mocked, or forgotten. Today: "Salisbury steak" is a processed meat patty with gravy served in school cafeterias. The medical application has been completely erased from history. A physician who cured chronic diseases with beef was memory-holed because his cure couldn't be patented. The pharmaceutical industry didn't just compete with his methods. They erased them from medical history entirely.

Your cholesterol levels show how much cholesterol is circulating in your blood. Your HDL (“good” cholesterol) is the one number you want to be high (ideally above 60). Your LDL (“bad” cholesterol) should be below 100. Your total should be below 200. 🫀 Talk with your provider about what your results mean for you and how to manage your cholesterol. You can live for many years with high cholesterol and not even know it.
