Brilliant!

Unconscious patterns can sabotage your health, relationships, potential, and success decades later… without you even realizing it.

Peter drops one of the most powerful truths you’ll ever hear:

"Being right is the poor man’s version of self-worth.”

The most toxic environment you live in isn’t your city, your home, or your workplace, but it could most certainly be in your mind. Peter Crone, “The Mind Arc...

Every night, while you sleep, your brain performs a critical cleanup process. Toxic waste, built up from daily activity, is flushed out into the neck through a network of fluid channels. This nightly detox keeps neurons healthy and ensures the brain functions at its best.

However, if this drainage system doesn’t work properly, harmful proteins and waste can accumulate. Over time, this buildup is linked to memory problems, cognitive decline, and an increased risk of neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s. Scientists are now studying ways to improve drainage naturally, such as getting quality sleep, staying hydrated, and maintaining good posture during rest.

This process highlights how sleep isn’t just for rest , it’s when the brain repairs, rejuvenates, and protects itself. A healthy cleanup system keeps your mind sharp, emotions balanced, and memory strong. Poor drainage may quietly affect brain health over years, showing that even small disruptions in nightly routines can have long-term effects.

Taking care of your sleep and overall health isn’t optional; it’s essential for a brain that works well for decades.

Cold plunging has exploded in popularity, with everyone from elite athletes to wellness influencers posting their ice bath rituals. But long before it hit social media, cold-water immersion was a Nordic tradition—often paired with saunas—as a way to build resilience, reset the mind, and connect socially. Those plunges weren’t just about recovery; they were about ritual, renewal, and community.

Fast forward to today, and you’ve probably seen the claims: “Go as cold as possible for maximum benefit.” But as is so often the case in exercise and recovery science, what works for men doesn’t always work the same way for women.

When I see women shivering in tubs of icy-cold water at 4°C (39°F) because they’ve been told it will boost metabolism, burn fat, or supercharge recovery, I want to jump in (literally) and explain: you don’t need to go that cold—and in many cases, it’s counterproductive.

Let’s unpack what’s really happening physiologically, how cold exposure can support both health and performance, and why for women, the sweet spot often sits around 15°C (59°F)—not ice-cold extremes.

Fasting for the win! ❤️

🧬 The Nobel Prize Breakthrough That Showed How Cells Clean and Heal Themselves

Japanese biologist Yoshinori Ohsumi earned the Nobel Prize in Medicine for discovering a natural process that keeps us alive and healthy — autophagy.

This process acts like the body’s internal recycling system. When food is scarce, cells break down their damaged parts, convert them into energy, and rebuild themselves stronger than before.

Ohsumi’s work revealed that autophagy isn’t only about endurance — it’s vital for long-term health. It protects the body by removing faulty cells linked to aging, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.

His findings reshaped our understanding of fasting and healing, proving that the body’s quiet moments of rest are when it truly repairs itself.

A South Coast resident recently shared this:

“I found a tick in my ear last Thursday. We used Lyclear and removed it intact. There was some swelling and itchiness, but what worried me were three really brief visual hallucinations — one Friday, two Saturday. I told two doctors, but both said it couldn’t be related to the tick bite.”

While hallucinations after Australian tick bites aren’t as well documented as with ticks elsewhere, several official Australian sources acknowledge visual disturbance and other neurological symptoms can occur:
• The RACGP notes that headache and visual disturbance have been reported in adults after tick bites.
• The Queensland Poisons Information Centre lists blurred vision among possible symptoms of tick-related neurotoxicity.
• Healthdirect and NSW Health mention broader neurological and sensory disturbances.

It’s well known that the paralysis tick (Ixodes holocyclus) injects a powerful neurotoxin that can affect nerves, sometimes causing paralysis or visual symptoms. And what about the many infections that can cause these symptoms? Yet, experiences like this one are often dismissed — not because they’re impossible, but because medical education hasn’t caught up.

Just because something isn’t well documented doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Our doctors need better clinical awareness and education about the full range of tick-related neurological symptoms in Australia.

Have you had unusual symptoms after a tick bite?

Suffering from Tick-bourne infection? Get this tested... 🫶

CD57 is a marker found on a subset of natural killer (NK) cells, part of the immune system that helps fight off infections. In healthy individuals, CD57 counts are usually normal. But in people with chronic Lyme disease (Borrelia burgdorferi infection), these counts are often significantly reduced.

🔬 What the research shows

Chronic Borrelia infections are often linked to a lower number of CD57+ NK cells, especially in patients with nervous system involvement.

Many chronic Lyme patients have fewer than 100 CD57+ cells per microliter of blood.

Interestingly, those with musculoskeletal symptoms may still show normal CD57 counts, while neurological cases are more likely to have reduced levels.

CD57 counts often remain low until symptoms improve through treatment.

🧪 How doctors use the CD57 test

Prognostic tool: CD57 is not a stand-alone Lyme test but can provide insights into the degree of immune suppression.

Tracking recovery: Doctors sometimes use CD57 levels over time to monitor how a patient is responding to therapy.

Differentiation: In acute Lyme or other infections, CD57 levels usually remain normal—making reduced counts more specific to chronic Borrelia.

⚖️ Important to know
While a CD57 test can be helpful, it’s only one piece of the puzzle. Lyme specialists typically use it alongside other tests and clinical evaluation to form a complete picture of a patient’s health.

Travelling to Japan? Be aware...

A dangerous tick-borne illness, Severe Fever with Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (SFTS), is spreading across Japan. The virus is transmitted by infected Asian longhorned ticks, and the disease carries a fatality rate of 10% to 30%. Symptoms can include high fever (above 38 °C), severe abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

Australia’s government should be paying close attention to this emerging threat in our region. We have this species of tick in Australia, and we hope our biosecurity measures are adequate to prevent this virus reaching our shores. However, with increased travel and the serious nature of SFTS, awareness and preventive measures are vital.

👉 Travellers: please stay informed and take precautions.
