Two fish are swimming along together. A bigger fish comes by and asks “how’s the water?” The two fish nod and keep swimming. A minute later after the bigger fish has passed, one fish looks at the other fish and asks, what the heck is water? 🐠🐟🐟
.
Sometimes the most important of realities can be the hardest to talk about. How do you explain water to a fish?
.
It’s a lot like trying to explain health to someone whose health belief system is based on disease management.
.
Disease management aims to treat symptoms by way of medication with no intent to heal the cause of symptoms. It offers little preventative care and holds a philosophy of wait until sickness comes then treat.
.
Sometimes medication is necessary, but we should never underestimate the actions we can take to heal or give our bodies the best chance to stay healthy. 80% of chronic disease is lifestyle driven.
.
We’ve been conditioned by pha$m$ and the medical model to think we need them to intervene for the smallest things when it comes to our health.
.
We cannot prepare the world for our health we have to prepare our health for the world. 🌎
.
We’ve really lost sight of this principle. 👀
.
Relying on outside fixes for an internal problem creates a false sense of security. Ignoring key nutrients, over eating and lack of movement are completely ignored as reasoning behind risk level for disease? It’s become offensive for a care provider to tell a patient their weight is putting them at risk for health problems. 🤦🏻‍♀️

But,
.
Wearing a mask
Over sanitizing
Social distancing
Isolation
Fear
Fast processed food diet
Wait and see unlimited
Is a reasonable approach to health?
.
Those things all mean zero when there is no commitment to a healthy lifestyle.
.
Exercise to increase heart rate daily
Eat clean Whole Foods
Take vitamins a min c, d, zinc
Maintain a healthy weight
Practice healthy mindset
Live your life with purpose
.
There is no greater sense of security than knowing we are creating health within ourselves with the actions we take.
.
There is no one sized fits all health plan. It doesn’t exist. That’s why we must maintain our freedom in how we choose to live our own lives.
