Dr. Rhonda Patrick (@foundmyfitness) has 258 posts in the library. Between them they drew 246,468 likes; the typical one reaches 567, and the biggest reached 22,239. Most of that work is about Science and Health. This is what the posts themselves say about how they write — not a profile, a pattern.

What they write about

  • Science — 114 of 258 posts (44%)
  • Health — 110 of 258 posts (43%)

Two or three subjects rather than one: a reader who follows for the first gets the others, which is how a niche account becomes a general one.

How they open

  • 76% of posts open with an observation
  • 15% of posts open with a number
  • 7% of posts open with a question

Half or more of their posts open the same way — an observation. That is a signature, and it is worth reading the three below with that in mind: the move is the same, the subject changes.

High-intensity exercise causes muscles to produce lactate which gets into the brain where it plays a direct role in the production of norepinephrine & serotonin.

Enough is enough. It’s time for vitamin D, which is low risk, to be strongly considered as a crucial factor in COVID-19.

Exercise causes muscles to act like a sponge and take up kynurenine, preventing its conversion to a neurotoxic agent implicated in depression.

Why it worked: Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

Why it worked: Frames the idea around what the reader stands to lose, which is more motivating than gain.

Why it worked: Leads with a specific number, which is concrete enough to be worth a second of attention.

What to borrow

Nothing of theirs — not a phrase, not a number, not a fact. What carries over is the shape.

  • From the 22,239-like post: Preserve the Hook → Landing structure and the plain observation opening.
  • From the 10,796-like post: Preserve the Hook → Landing structure and the plain observation opening.
  • From the 9,863-like post: Preserve the Hook → Landing structure and the plain observation opening.

The structure the analysis reads most often across their best work is Hook → Landing — 5 of the top 5 follow it.

Start here

  • Every post of theirs in the library — sortable by likes, replies or date, with the mechanics on each.
  • Remix their style — their five strongest posts as sources, your product as the subject. The words will be yours; the moves will be theirs.
  • Save the ones that match your taste to a board, and the board's remixes will lean their way.
