Almost 20% of our money goes into “health” care. Yup, that’s right, as of a 2020 figure…almost 20% (19.7% to be exact) of our country’s GDP is spent on healthcare.
If that's the case, then why aren’t we healthier? Whichever way you look at our system, from infant mortality to declining longevity…we’re the sickest of any “developed” country.
Could it be because the system here is focused on INTERVENTION only once you’re already sick (think of those drug commercials you see on Hulu) INSTEAD of focusing on PREVENTION & the management of lifestyle choices?
According to the New York Times, in 2016 771,368 of these type of ads were shown. That’s an increase of almost 65 percent since 2012.
Maybe it’s because we’re focused on more modern, hi-tech medicine…and, while it’s very good for dealing with traumatic injuries & acute conditions, it’s Achilles heel is dealing with CHRONIC conditions (and it’s expensive!)
I’m here to help make a change. I want a future where we can go to health centers to learn about PREVENTION - well before we get sick with an acute condition. I want a future where EVERYONE in the world focuses on gut, posture, movement, and breath before they’d ever think of “asking their doctor about” that new pill.
Until we live in that future, it’s my mission to coach anyone I can on the pillars of living healthfully, and in prevention mode before they even need to think about dis-ease “management” mode. I call it my “teach people how to fish” method. Instead of overhauling your life, we figure out what to work on, together, that WORKS for you, in your current situation.
My hope is that by educating people, we can start to demand that the money we are spending starts to flow in the direction that has the biggest impact on our quality of life, our health, our pockets, and the environment.
If you’re ready to learn how to fish 🐟 here’s everywhere you can find me.
