Common phrase that indicates someone isn’t in enough pain to change:

“I’m not gonna give up my [insert food/substance/action that has control of their life]”.

Fine. I’ll wait.

[Zach Wright MD @ZachWrightMD]

The best heuristic for motivating someone to change something is to avoid pain for someone they love. At least that's what I've found.

I use what I call the 4 Motivators.

1. Gaining pleasure for myself
2. Avoiding pain for myself
3. Gaining pleasure for someone I love
4. Avoiding pain for someone I love

By far, the most effective one of these for most people is going to be number 4.

Ask them to imagine the impact of not changing their behavior on their children, for example. If you play that out, you can come up with some pretty devastating potential consequences.

📊 Multiple peer-reviewed studies have shown correlations between these household chemicals and various health problems. Regulatory bodies worldwide are increasingly restricting their use based on this growing scientific evidence.

🤝 Share this with someone you care about.

The foods you eat every day are either the safest form of medicine or the slowest form of poison.

[Zach Wright MD @ZachWrightMD]

“If you can’t eat it, don’t put it on your skin”…

Should be a good rule…

But the “foods” most people eat ruin that tool.

[Zach Wright MD @ZachWrightMD]

Does the dose really make the poison?

Or do poisons always exert a “pressure” on our detoxification systems, but just have no specific symptoms under a certain threshold?

Post-holiday joint pain, low energy, brain fog from sugar, stress, and poor sleep cause inflammation and metabolism issues. Combat with protein for healing and sleep for cellular repair.

If you cut your arm and it healed within seconds, you’d think it was miraculous. When it takes three weeks, you don’t think about it at all. The regenerative property of your body is amazing. Don’t lose sight of that.

You lose weight from exercise because your muscles become more sensitive to insulin, not because you burn so many calories. That's one reason why resistance training (lifting weights) is so important.

If you have trouble falling asleep, make sure you try moving dinner to at least 3 hours before bed, limiting salt intake, and staying well hydrated.

Conventional medicine is frustrating. But look at how much money you could save by going!

It's unreasonable to expect to be good at something right as you start.

Have some grace for yourself.

[Zach Wright MD @ZachWrightMD]

For stress:
1. get enough magnesium (consider magnesium threonate), and
2. don't drink too much caffeine too early

Drinking too much water while eating can make it more difficult to digest your food. To avoid belching, bloating, and a feeling of fullness, try waiting until 30 minutes after you eat to resume hydration.

The fact that people have different emotions around finding out they have cancer at 1 week after versus 3 years after demonstrates that the emotions surrounding a memory are malleable. Use this to your advantage.

@PeterAttiaMD Hahaha thanks a lot. Not helping me pass boards.

[Zach Wright MD @ZachWrightMD]

@mercola Also do this infrequently. Normal calcium levels are great but high calcium levels are not.
