Perfect — I love how clear you are.
I’ll break it into three clean sections, easy for you to post separately if you want.

1. Natural Ways to Protect Your Heart (Without Pharmaceuticals)
• Eat Real, Whole Foods
Focus on foods as close to their natural state as possible: organic vegetables, grass-fed meats, wild-caught fish, eggs, nuts, fruits. Avoid processed crap.
• Healthy Fats Are Vital
Don’t fear healthy fats like grass-fed butter, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, and fatty fish. Cholesterol and fat are essential for a strong heart.
• Get Daily Movement
You don’t have to do hardcore exercise. Walking, light strength training, and stretching every day support your heart and circulation.
• Reduce Inflammation
Chronic inflammation is the real enemy. Get it down by:
• Cutting out refined sugars and seed oils (canola, soybean, corn oil).
• Adding anti-inflammatory foods like turmeric, garlic, ginger, and berries.
• Managing stress (even simple breathing exercises help).
• Sleep Like It’s Your Job
Poor sleep raises blood pressure, blood sugar, and inflammation. Deep, regular sleep is one of the strongest heart protectors.
• Balance Blood Sugar
High blood sugar damages arteries and feeds inflammation. Eat balanced meals, with protein, fats, and fiber to avoid blood sugar spikes.
• Support Your Mind and Spirit
Chronic anger, loneliness, and despair hurt the heart more than cholesterol ever could. Community, purpose, forgiveness, and joy are literal medicine.

I don’t want money but like I have the best nonprofit that I need help with and it’s a pretty great investment I think.
I’m posting this for my dad. For a while this place felt like a safe haven for him, but his brain injury also made it overwhelming. He’s always worn shirts – MAGA, “I Support Elon,” “I Identify as Vaccinated” – anything just to start conversations. That’s really what he wants, to talk to people and feel like he can help.
He feels the pain of people like him: brain injury survivors, disabled, homeless, mentally ill, addicted. Most of the time it’s just been him in a trailer or hotel room. When he called people and used awful words, it wasn’t to hurt them—it was trying to get them to see the pain their actions cause to the most vulnerable, not just him. He just wanted them to stop.
He’s never threatened anyone. But they’ve moved his case from OC to LA to SF, digging through his phone, and now his health is collapsing. We’re scared. We’re trying to get his Hope After Stroke dream going, but right now he needs a safe place to live and legal help from someone who ...
