Surgery pushes your body into oxygen debt. If your mitochondria are broken, lactate builds up. That’s when organs fail—even with a “healthy” ECG. CPET exposes this before it’s too late. #surgery #mitochondria #lactate #CPET

If you have feel you are at risk for surgical complications, recovering from COVID, or managing heart disease… Get a CPET test before surgery. It could give you the time to rebuild your body—and avoid disaster. #PrehabSavesLives #MetabolicHealth #surgery #CPET

“Normal labs. Dead/complications after surgery. Why?” Mitochondrial failure under stress = Lactate overload. Only CPET sees the danger in time. Know your VO₂ before you go. #mortality #surgery #complications #VO2 #lactate

If your body shifts to carbs too early, it means: •Your mitochondria are broken •You can’t use fat for energy •You crash harder, recover slower And you’re on the path to insulin resistance, fatigue & burnout. #exercise #fat #energy #crash #fatigue #burnout

Trainers say “no pain, no gain.” But if you don’t know where your Fat Max or VT1 is, you’re training blind. You’re likely overexerting—and making your health worse. #exercise #fat #training #exercise #nopainnogain

The fix? Test, don’t guess. A CPET (cardiopulmonary exercise test) shows: •When you shift to carbs •If your cells can use oxygen •How to train without damaging your metabolism #CPET #carbs #oxygen #metabolism #exercise

Your treadmill won’t tell you this. Your smartwatch won’t. Only CPET will. Want to actually burn fat, protect your heart, and build real energy? Know your zones. Train smart. #CPET #TrainWithOxygen #exercise #zones

Most people train harder, but get fatter, sicker, and more tired. Why? Because their metabolism is broken. Here’s what no gym, doctor, or smartwatch is telling you: Thread #Exercise #VO2 #Lactate #Truth

Your body has 2 main fuel systems: •Fat (clean, sustainable energy) •Carbs (quick, dirty energy) If you switch to burning carbs too soon, it’s a sign your mitochondria can’t use oxygen efficiently. That’s a red flag, not a fitness win. #fat #carbs #mitochondria #exercise

This early carb reliance is why you: •Burn out quickly •Struggle to lose fat •Crash post-workout •Wake up tired •Feel “wired but tired” It’s also the first step toward insulin resistance, chronic fatigue, and cardiac risk. #crash #tired #fatigue #exercise

Most workouts make this WORSE. Why? Because you’re training above your fat-burning threshold (Fat Max) without knowing it. You’re creating lactate, not progress. #fatmax #lactate #exercise

Nature’s Clue to a Stronger Heart From sunflowers to galaxies, the spiral is nature’s power move. Your heart works the same way—twisting to pump efficiently. In heart failure, that spiral collapses. Exercise isn’t just movement—it’s how we restore the spiral. #heart #spiral

Nature’s Clue to a Stronger Heart 

From sunflowers to galaxies, the spiral is nature’s power move.

Your heart works the same way—twisting to pump efficiently. In heart failure, that spiral collapses. Exercise isn’t just movement—it’s how we restore the spiral.

The Helix and the Heart This lecture given by Dr Gerald Buckberg is so insightful to shed light on the spiral functioning of the heart. Brilliant work. Thank you for this! Gerald Buckberg 👌 #heart #helix #nature #science youtu.be/hnay65vPeAU?si…

The idea that the heart twists like a spiral to pump blood isn’t just anatomy—it’s revolutionary. When that spiral breaks down, heart failure begins. Restoring the twist through targeted exercise could change everything. #HelicalHeart #Heart #Cardiac #Spiral #Science #Nature

The Rise of Biological Precision
Health risk used to mean age, BMI, and smoking status.
Now it means:

This isn’t fitness data.

Health is no longer static. Neither is risk. New algorithms use VO₂, ECG & mitochondria data to: → Predict disease → Track recovery → Link physiology to finance Insurance can’t adapt. Banks can. With the VO₂ Account, your oxygen data earns you financial rewards. #future
