I'll die on this hill
If you’re over 40, don’t make these mistakes.
They’re the reason so many people end up medicated, when all they needed was the truth.
Here’s what’s quietly ruining health after 40:
Taking advice from people who don’t look or feel healthy.
Accepting diagnoses without ever asking “why?”
Using meds that fix one number but break everything else.
Living stressed, sleeping badly, and calling it “normal.”
Now for the truth most people never hear:
→ You’re probably low in vitamin D, and it’s wrecking everything
It controls over 10 percent of your genes
Most people need 10,000 IU a day, not the 400 IU on outdated labels
→ Magnesium and zinc are critical, but almost everyone’s running low
Magnesium helps your heart, brain, and sleep stay functional
We burn through both minerals faster than we can replace them, and no one tests for it
→ Avoid calcium and iron; they sound helpful, but they pile up in all the wrong places. Too much calcium can stiffen arteries and joints. Excess iron rusts your organs from the inside out and rarely gets checked
→ Cholesterol isn’t dangerous; it’s essential
You need it to make hormones, repair cells, and fuel your brain
Low cholesterol is linked to depression, fatigue, and even dementia
→ Salt isn’t the problem, but the stuff it’s hiding in usually is.
Real sea salt supports your adrenals, sleep, and hydration
The issue isn’t salt, it’s ultra-processed food pretending to be dinner
→ Your gut does way more than digest food
It makes your neurotransmitters, controls your immune system, and affects your mood. One round of antibiotics or chronic sugar intake can ruin it for years
→ Snacking all day keeps your insulin high and your brain fog higher. Constant insulin spikes cause fatigue, weight gain, and inflammation
The “eat every 3 hours” advice? Great way to stay tired forever
