I love that you address issues with such common sense. You have a way of verbalizing things that give me a new perspective on how to change things in my life that I’ve been brainwashed to think of as the “new norm”. At 71, I’m blessed to be healthy, but also have it programmed in my mind that this is about the time the wheels start falling off the bus… and it DOESN’T have to be that way. I just have to RE-program and your articles are amazing. Thank you.
The corporate lust for making money--at all costs--steers the "American Dream" at this point. From food to social media, there (apparently) is no real concern for the individual, just the bottom line. It is up to us, with others, like Dr. Marbas, to use our brains and initiative to ignore the ads and use our common sense and good judgement.
Well I completely agree. If only we could make actual wellness profitable for Big Pharma and corporate america. Imagine if they got paid to keep us healthy and they received a bonus for every year we live past 80. I'm convinced the average life span would be 100 years old at least!
In the meantime take a walk, drink some water, and eat an apple!
Hi Merralee! I am so happy to hear this. Thank you for sharing. I absolutely love it when those who have lived a long life share their insights with us.
Thanks for writing so clearly and tenderly about habits, Laurie. I am learning a lot. It does hit me a little wrong, though, to include ADHD on the list of chronic conditions our ancestors didn’t used to have: https://open.substack.com/pub/hunterinafarmersworld/p/the-science-finally-catches-up-new?r=3s02r&utm_medium=ios

Thank you so much for your kind words! If I can change just one mind, all the toil (all though I love every minute of writing these) is worth it.
