Doctors are taught to respond to disease, not prevent it.
It's better for business and profits.
Here are 3 ways you can build preventative health into your life and avoid the crippling treatments and costs of the healthcare system:
1) Stop looking for a medication to solve your problems
Most medications provide band-aid solutions that mask symptoms.
But they fail to address root causes.
Those root causes are:
- Diet
- Sleep
- Stress
- Exercise
- Lifestyle
Fixing these issues is the real way we solve our chronic disease crisis.
Not endless pills and medications.
2) Understand insulin resistance
The modern diet of processed foods and inflammatory oils drives widespread insulin resistance.
And insulin resistance is at the root of chronic disease and early death.
But what is insulin resistance?
It's when the cells in your body can't respond to the hormone insulin.
The pancreas produces insulin and plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels.
It helps transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells, which can be used for energy or stored for future use.
But when cells become resistant to insulin, they don't allow glucose to enter efficiently, resulting in elevated blood sugar levels.
This puts you at risk for a myriad of problems:
- Weight gain
- Heart disease
- Type 2 diabetes
Fixing insulin resistance is at the core of fixing your health and avoiding the healthcare system.
You fix it through:
- Exercise
- Movement
- Clean nutrition
Not a pill or medication.
3) Check biomarkers regularly
Regular feedback on biomarkers is crucial to understanding and taking control of our health.
We want to monitor:
- Inflammation
- Hormone levels
- Metabolic/cardiac health
Think about it like checking the oil and tire pressure of your body.
You wouldn't want to drive your car for ten years without checking to see if everything is running smoothly.
That would be dangerous.
Your body is no different.
Once you can track and monitor key levels, you can then make lifestyle adjustments and get consistent feedback on your body's response to those changes.
You can ask your healthcare provider for a test or order a Direct-to-Consumer test from private companies that deliver tests directly to your door.

- Address root causes
- Understand insulin resistance
- Check biomarkers regularly

The AMPTP refused to make a fair deal on television, theatrical and streaming work. We are not afraid of a fight and we will not back down. My union, SAG/AFTRA is now on strike.

We're more separated than ever.
We interact through screens.
We lack real social interaction.
We all have unique problems and demons.
To survive and thrive, men need a tribe.
