The Best Health Expert Is…

Your Body.

Listen to the health expert that has about 110 billion predecessors.  Yes, that’s predecessors, not followers.

There have been approximately 110 billion humans on earth.  The wisdom in your body that drives you to love puppies and being in nature, to always feel a little better after connecting with friends or going for a walk, and to crave water when you’re thirsty and sleep when you need it, is all the result of the genes and biological survival drives encoded in you by those predecessors.

Health isn’t a product. Listen to Your Body MORE, and the human selling machines like Gary Brecka & Dave Asprey LESS.  These are just two examples of many people that are striving to profit from convincing you that you need expensive, high-tech devices or that peripheral, secondary health considerations are actually essential.

The main expert you need to follow is named Your Body.  It has wisdom from millions of years of human genetics.  Let it guide you. Humans have been around a long time and our bodies do not suffer from a cold plunge pool deficiency. Again…health isn’t a product.

  • Sleep when your body tells you it needs to.
  • Eat when your body tells you it needs to. And stop when it tells you it doesn’t.
  • Spend time with those dear to you instead of binge-watching yet another series you will forget in 6 months.
  • Move a little when you feel restless. 
  • Show up for the everday, mundane moments like they matter because they do.

Rather than focus on epic shareworthy experiences and just passing the time between the big events in life, show up for and be present for the everyday stuff – walking your dog, taking your kids to school, watching a bird fly across the sky for a moment while waiting at a traffic light.  Every moment has meaning, not just the visually shareable ones that dominate social media.

You don’t need more high-tech, you need more “advice” from Your Body. The best expert you know.  Just slow down enough to be able to hear it.
