Retired 100% Disabled Combat Vet • Stoic • No Excuses • Built from broken • Still standing

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

With all the money, technology, medicine, and food abundance in the Western world, we should be the healthiest humans that ever walked the Earth.

Instead, we’re the sickest in the age of abundance.

Obesity has tripled since the 1960s.
More than 75% of American adults now live with at least one chronic condition.

We have the largest gap between lifespan and healthspan on the planet, living over 12 years, on average, burdened by disease and disability.

We spend more on healthcare than any nation in history.

We have more doctors, more drugs, more gyms, more “wellness” content than any society before us.

And yet metabolic disease, autoimmunity, and chronic illness keep rising.

Our ancestors didn’t need Ozempic, statins, or daily antidepressants because they didn’t have these problems at this scale. They ate real food, moved constantly, and lived in harsher conditions yet avoided the slow-motion collapse we’re experiencing.

This isn’t a lack of resources.

This is the predictable result of incentives that reward sickness:
-Food engineered to be addictive and nutrient-poor.
-Lives engineered to be sedentary and stressed.
-A medical system that profits from managing symptoms forever instead of restoring health.

We conquered infectious disease and starvation.
Then we built an entire economy around creating new chronic ones.

The wealthiest, most “advanced” people in human history slowly trading decades of vitality for convenience and quarterly profits.

We have the money.
We have the science.
We even have the examples of what works.

The only thing we’re missing is the willingness to stop pretending this is normal.

@Lanakila49 I was watching a Genghis Khan documentary last night and he got a priceless sable coat and a herd of sheep for marrying his first wife. 🤣🤣🤣

I got nothing but a nasty mother-in-law.😉

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

Back then: Marry her + they literally pay you to take her 💰

Now: She wants a 6’2” mind-reading ATM who pays for everything and apologizes when she’s wrong.

We went from getting a dowry… to applying for unpaid emotional labor.

Ladies… y’all might be asking for too much too soon 😂😂😂

@OldVetvp Most of the time I wander around wondering how the hell I got everything done and worked full time.

If your retirement goal is to party and do nothing, find another goal.

@NativeTexan_17 Were they solar or wind powered?😉

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@TraditionSarah That's what I did, thanks Sarah.

Bought a sheet set from Costco, it's got four pillow cases.

Who do I look like, scrooge McDuck.

I'm divorced and lucky to have one pillow.🤣

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@Lanakila49 I'm not bitter, I'm joking.🤣🤣

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@Lanakila49 🤣🤣

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

Fun fact from the archives: Hair is historically viewed as an extension of the nervous system and an antenna for receiving and storing energetic frequencies. 📡✨

Translation? Your 70's bush was secretly a high-performance spiritual satellite dish this whole time.

Bring back 70's bush. 🌳😂

Men, no more manscaping your cosmic receiver. 🤣🤣🤣

Somewhere there are people buying up all the toilet paper for the poop parasite outbreak.

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@Lanakila49 Nature's toilet paper. 🤣 They'll need it.

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

When are they going to release the vaccine so these people can start eating lettuce again? 😉

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

Is this technically motorboating if he makes the noise? https://t.co/XNsqRrXMcZ

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@OGPirateRoy I can get 16 days out of them then using the rotate and flip method.🤣🤣🤣

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@Lanakila49 I guess so, I hate extra pillows.🤣🤣

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@RachyBull There's something weird going on this year altogether.

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

I mainly by raw cheddar from my local farm. I found out what you did about three years ago.

So I buy my beef, pork, eggs, cheese and milk from local farms.

If I need something like a pepperjack, I'll buy the Cabot but it's like once a year.

Who knows what they put in your food.

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

@AbitcrunchyDana It's in your first screen shot and their website has it in their FAQ section. As far as I know they are the only ones that address it.

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

A few years ago I stopped dating to become the person that I would want to date.

I upgraded myself right out of the dating pool.

Now nobody's good enough for me.🤣🤣🤣

[Mario @Mario_the_Monk]

These supplement-pushing influencers are mostly full of shit.

They market to people already sick and frustrated with a medical system that too often hands out pills instead of real answers. I spent thousands over the years on vitamins, minerals, herbals, nootropics and the whole damn catalog of garbage. Almost none of it moved the needle.

The same bunch of the same snake oil salesmen are the ones they invited to the White House under MAHA. That's wild to me.

I’ve muted or blocked every single one. Done.

The boring truth that actually works:
Eat real food.
Move your body every day.
Get outside as often as you can.
Sleep like it matters.
Stretch and lift what you can.

That’s the stack that compounds. Everything else is usually just expensive hope in a bottle.

Who else burned money on this stuff and finally wised up?

Russia if you're watching I've got Intel you might want to send someone over.🤣🤣�
