Vitality isn’t a mood or willpower, but metabolic energy produced at a cellular level.
You can generate true energy or consume fake energy.
True energy is being generated when you consume fat or sugar.
A working metabolism is constantly generating energy.
The natural cortisol spike in the morning makes you energized as well.
The energy you get from stimulants isn’t real.
It is fake energy you pay back with your health.
Cortisol and Adrenaline are being elevated.
If this is the case chronically, your body will enter a survival state.
This will lead to trashed hormones and a sluggish metabolism.
Less true energy will be created.
Why you are running on empty
Modern life is draining you from your vitality.
Seed oils suppress the thyroid and drain the lymph.
Chronic stress disrupts the hormonal cascade.
Processed foods stress the body even further, instead of providing actual fuel.
A body full of toxins will drain even more energy, to handle the toxic load.
Blue light disrupting your circadian rhythm and sleep.
Continous EMF exposure, that is attacking the body.
Tap water full of pharmaceutical residue and birth control.
Goitrogens from cruciferous vegetables, competing with iodine in the thyroid.
Low vibrational clothing made out of cheap plastic.
Doom scrolling and porn, completely frying your dopamine receptors.
All of these are actively lowering your vitality.
Taking back your Vitality
So how can you take back your vitality?
Eliminate the seed oils and switch to real raw fats for energy: raw butter, cheese, cream, eggs, suet, bone marrow etc.
Stop doing stressful things with no ROI: running, stressing about little things, fasting, keto, arguing with women etc.
Eat raw meat instead of processed slop.
Start eating 250g+ of fat daily and do hot baths to detox.
Get yourself some blue blockers and go outside in the sun.
Turn your Wifi and phone off at night.
Switch to glass bottled mineral ater, such as Gerolsteiner and get a shower filter.
Don’t eat cruciferous veggies and provide some iodine instead, by eating fish & mussles.
Throw away your plastic clothing and get some high vibrational linen, wool and cotton.
Stop consuming and start creating. Create something: social media, business, personal project, cool hobby. Don’t watch porn and have sex instead.
All of this will actively increase your vitality.
How hormones are affecting your vitality
Hormones are the messenegrs that decide what your body does with its enery and materials.
The thyroid sets the speed of life itself.
Active T3 tells your mitochondria how fast to run, how much fat or sugar to burn for energy.
High T3 = warmth, strong heart, good digestion, sharp brain, good libido, high T
Low T3 = cold hands & feet, constant fatigue, sluggish digestion, brain fog, low libido, low T
Your entire hormonal system is dependent on the thyroid.
The first step, when cholesterol becomes pregnenolone, requires active T3.
Sluggish thyroid = low testosterone = low energy
Cortisol and adrenaline - the stress hormones - aren’t evil.
They are exctly what you need in short bursts.
When you wake up, cortisol spikes.
When you are in danger, adrenaline spikes.
This is good and important.
Both chronically elevated?
That is the killer.
Bad sleep, seed oils, working endlessly, lots of stimulants, lots of cardio - will chronically elevate your cortisol.
High cortisol will lead to a Pregnenolone steal - the Pregnenolone, that would have been used to create androgens further down the line, is being taken to produce cortisol instead.
Additionally it will also suppress thyroid hormone.
Low testosterone & Low thyroid will make you sluggish and decrease your vitality.
Practical takeaway
Eliminate the bullshit.
Build healthy habits.
Fix your hormones.
Grounding, sunlight, raw foods etc.
Take back your vitality - don’t let modern life strip that away from you - resist.
