Seven years ago

My health was in shambles
My successful career tainted by me running to the bathroom & not sleeping
Anxiety ruled my life
Luckily
I managed to pull myself out of the depths of Hell
Without a single medication
Here’s how I did it so you can too
THREAD -
1- Stop drinking booze
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Alcohol abuse wrecks your body
It destroys your sleep and damages your stomach/gut lining
The more you’re drinking
The less you’re recovering and absorbing the nutrients from your food pic.twitter.com/PFtc1KpkE7 -
I drank a lot in my youth
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
and eventually got so depleted that my body gave up on me
It's only a matter of time until it catches up to you
If you're trying to kickstart your healing journey
Then take a break from the booze -
2- Fix your diet
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
You’re the sum of the foods you eat
Processed foods, sugars & grains are stealing your vitality
They inflame you
They promote malabsorption
You’re never told how these foods deplete your body of nutrients pic.twitter.com/0phu7d0Hfj -
The amount of toxins added to your food supply doesn’t help your cause either

Additives and glyphosate kill your gut microbiome
Your immune system crashes and you get sicker
We eat for convenience now rather than for health -
You MUST change the toxic Frankenfoods you're consuming to the following:
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Plenty of game meat/quality beef
Raw honey/dairy
Some organ meat
Lots of seafood
Eat local and in season
Fermented foods
Use animal fats to cook
Plenty of eggs
Organic fruits and vegetables pic.twitter.com/lo3BNsyFdQ -
3- Heal your gut first
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Your gut is your greatest detoxifier
70% of your immune system is found there
and it's where you absorb the foods you eat
A destroyed gut f*cks you up
Mine got so bad that it completely messed up my mental health pic.twitter.com/tyNPwXxjeW -
Your gut microbiome affects your:
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Digestion/Absorption of food
Brain chemistry (Mood)
Immunity
I discovered that mold and parasites co-infections were a big reason for my mood and sleep troubles
It was only when I optimized my gut microbiome that I started to feel better -
So if you've tried different supplements for sleep and stress but none seem to work

You need to work on healing your gut terrain first -
Here are a few ways to start healing your gut:
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Fasting
Fulvic/Humic Acid
Get enough sunlight
Optimize sleep quality
Try soil-based probiotics
Bone broth (Glutamine + Glycine)
Eat pomegranate & fermented food
Antimicrobial herbs (parasites/Mold/viruses) pic.twitter.com/X6Y7EoTpJ5 -
4- Use supplements to accelerate healing
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
While nutrition and strong habits are foundational
Quality supplements are the fast-forward button to your healing journey
The right product used at the right time makes all the difference pic.twitter.com/nXKZckwo59 -
As I mentioned earlier
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Your supplements will work way better when your gut is healthy
I yo-yoed like crazy trying to fix my anxiety and sleep
Because I didn't do enough work on the gut first -
Different supplement formulas with the following were game changers for my gut health

TUDCA
Berberine
Clove Bud
Colostrum
Glutamine
Milk thistle
Neem Leaf

Black Walnut Hull

These supplements are going to give you the best bang for your buck
B-complex
Glycine (sleep)
Phosphatidylserine
Inositol (Sleep/OCD)

5- Sun exposure & more time in nature
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
One of the biggest reasons you're not feeling your best is being inside all day
Artificial indoor light from your screens:
Increases your stress
Destroys sleep quality
Slows down your metabolism
You need to be outside more pic.twitter.com/kfeEvJmxE1 -
Once I made a conscious effort to spend more time outdoors
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
I started feeling better
Sunlight is your most powerful free tool during your healing journey
The sun:
Energizes you
Boosts your immunity
Synchronizes your body clock (sleep) -
If you're living in a city
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
Get out whenever you can
Make the trip to the woods, beach & mountains
The sounds/silence of Nature are therapeutic & a must pic.twitter.com/pXbQybRee4 -
These are some of the most powerful ways that'll change your life for the better
— John Constas (@JohnConstas) April 13, 2023
It is never too late to start and if you begin with all the stuff I just mentioned
You're going to get to where you want to be FASTER -
I’m pretty confident I can take any busy professional who is stressed &
