Forget everything you’ve heard about aspirin.

For decades, aspirin has been painted as dangerous—linked to ulcers, bleeding, and rare conditions like Reye’s syndrome—while newer drugs like Tylenol (paracetamol) get handed out like candy. But the real story is very different.

In this book, I break down the science, the myths, and my journey using aspirin as a powerful tool for health and resilience. Drawing on the work of Ray Peat and years of research and self-experimentation, I show how aspirin, when used wisely and as part of a metabolism-supportive lifestyle, can help protect against cancer, diabetes, depression, anxiety, and more. It’s not just safer than you’ve been told—when paired with the proper diet (think: avoiding PUFAs and eating enough sugar), aspirin supports your body’s natural defenses, reduces inflammation, and boosts metabolism at the most basic level.

Inside, you’ll learn:

• Why aspirin’s risks get blown out of proportion—and why it’s much safer than Tylenol and many other common drugs
• How aspirin protects against inflammation, metabolic dysfunction, and even brain-related conditions like depression and dementia
• The truth about ulcers, bleeding, and Reye’s syndrome—and why most people don’t need to worry
• Why aspirin works best with the proper fuel: how to eat (and what to avoid) so you get the benefits without side effects
• Practical steps for using aspirin safely and effectively, based on real-world experience and the latest research
• How to challenge the mainstream narrative and take control of your health, even if you’ve struggled with chronic pain, fatigue, or unexplained symptoms

Whether you’re dealing with chronic illness, looking for a safer alternative to over-the-counter drugs, or want to understand the real science behind aspirin, this book gives you the tools, the facts, and the confidence to make aspirin work for you.
