Mainstream Health Myths (And How to Avoid Them)

Are you acting healthy but still feeling sick? These are some of the ways that we've been brainwashed in our society to be healthier, but they're not actually helping us. We've all been there. We've been following the latest health advice, but we aren't actually feeling any better. We don't feel any healthier. So what's going on? It can be quite frustrating. Maybe you've been running every day on the treadmill, but that stubborn body fat just won't go away. Maybe you've been hitting the gym every day, you still feel stressed. You've been drinking litres of water every day, but you don't really feel hydrated. Maybe you've been eating all the salads, but you're always hungry and you don't seem to look any better. Whatever the case may be, I'm here to explain some of these misguided health myths and tell you what to do instead. The information in this video is for informative purposes only and should not be considered medical advice of any kind. Before I get into anything else, the most important thing you have to understand is how powerful your mind is for your health. Your mind can create incredible health or the worst type of illness. This is absolutely true. The way our mind works is it creates what it believes. If you're constantly consumed by fear, think everything is going to harm you, there are these little critters trying to get in and attack you, you can actually manifest the the symptoms of this illness, especially if you believe you have an illness or some condition that you can't get rid of. Because you believe it, or someone's given you that belief and you accept it, then it will be true for you. This is how powerful the mind is when it comes to our health. On the other hand, if you believe something is good for you and you're getting healthier when you're doing it, it will be that for you. Obviously there's a limit to this. You can't just chug medications and eat seed oils every single day and have that have no effect on you. But within reason, if you believe something is good for you, it's going to enhance and increase your health. In general, what your belief should be is that you are healthy, you are capable of healing any issue that you might have, that you have strong genetics, that you are capable of— that small slip-ups and unavoidable environmental influences have no effect on you. When you operate from that default very positive belief system, then everything else you do to increase your health works better. If someone believes in their very soul that they have a genetic illness that means their tummy flares up whenever they eat something, they're going to create that reality for themselves. There's no such thing as a genetic disease. You're actually just eating food that is irritating your gut. But if someone internalizes that belief, 'Oh, I identify with the fact that my family has this tummy disease,' they're going to create that reality for themselves. The placebo effect is the name that our society comprehends this effect by. What is the placebo effect? Well, it's the well-documented, well-studied effect that the belief that something given to someone, if they are told this is going to help with your health, this is going to help with your condition, this is the medication that's going to help you, if they believe that it's true, then it can have a very positive effect on their health outcomes, even if what they were given was just pure sugar instead of a specific medicine that was going to help them with the problem. I don't believe that any of those medicines help anyway, but that's besides the point. The point is that your belief about what you're doing, what you're eating, what you're taking your belief about the disease itself. This is so powerful that you can get healthy from that alone. That is the default state that you need to operate in if you want to improve your health across all boundaries. Also, you must understand that your body is what heals yourself. Your body is the machine that is doing the healing. It's not the doctor, it's not the medication. It is your body It is an intelligent system, far more intelligent than anything humans can design, that is constantly cleaning itself, repairing itself, healing itself. And if you give it the right nutrients, the right environment, the right lifestyle habits, and avoid certain toxins and whatever else, your body knows how to heal. So the key then is figuring out the right environment, nutrients, and whatever else to allow your body to do the healing. Another key realization for you is to understand symptoms that you may be experiencing as part of the healing process. They are not the disease itself to fight. This is the issue with allopathic medicine and Western society in general. We see someone with a sniffly nose and we think, oh, I want to get rid of this. However, the sniffly nose is your body getting rid of some waste, getting rid of toxins, something you've breathed in, some pollutant, accumulating it to the mucus and then removing it from the body. It is a good thing that you're having that symptom because it means your body is working correctly. A fever is your body heating up in order to expel other toxins, waste materials, or whatever else through sweating in the body. Your body is always trying to come to a baseline of health, and we should see our symptoms as guidelines. Obviously, it can't be pleasant if you experience very, very bad symptoms consistently, but that is also a very important signal. If you weren't receiving pain, if you weren't feeling bad all the time, then you wouldn't know something was wrong. So again, shift that attitude into, I'm grateful that my body is trying to tell me that I have something to fix. This is the mentality which is going to improve your health the most, which is what we want. Now, with symptoms and the body's healing process, that's kind of a topic that I can go really deep into, and I'm going to talk about that in a different video. So moving on to where society leads us wrong when it comes to health. In no particular order, avoiding bacteria. This is a very common belief that most of people have, is that if you avoid bacteria, you you use the antibacterial sprays, you wash your hands every 20 minutes, you don't touch public things, then you're going to avoid the bacteria and the bacteria is going to not invade your system and make you sick. It's a very common belief that I used to hold as well. However, when you understand that our bodies, every single function, the food we digest, the repair, the cleaning, all of that is done in symbiosis with trillions of bacteria, literally trillions. So how could it be that taking on one little bacteria from outside is going to come in and cause all that damage? We have things like Salmonella, Ebola, these scary bacteria names that you hear the media talk about inside our bodies right now, and they're helping us to digest and do those other things that I told you about. This has to mean then that Bacteria doesn't necessarily mean bad. There are some situations where the bacteria can overpopulate because the environment is so toxic itself and the bacteria is trying to do things and it doesn't work. That doesn't mean it's the fault of the bacteria, and it doesn't mean that your health is going to be really good if you just get rid of all this bacteria and then you'll be clean and sterile and then that's it and you'll be healthy. That's not really how it works. The bacteria kind of thing, probably a topic for another video as well. I want to get through this list. Bacteria is a long, long topic, so I'll do another video on that. You should eat less meat, it's good for you. Avoid meat. Okay, while low-quality cooked meat, fast foods, and things like that is not something that should be your entire diet— I do believe in having fruits, dairy, cheeses, and things like that— they tell you to eat less meat, and the globalist policies and the environmental people that say you should eat less meat, it's better for the environment, uh, all of that is a psyop. The same thing with eating less eggs, whatever it is. They are— raw meat and raw eggs are some of the most powerfully strengthening foods that you can have. Society tells us that it's bad for us. They get you on the vegan milks, the soy instead of, instead of meat. They give you a steak of made of tofu. All of that is BS. It's not gonna make you healthier. Raw eggs and raw meat will make you stronger. The same thing with eating less fats, less saturated fats, butter, cheeses, these things that create the most hormones. Testosterone, which makes us feel vibrant and alive, cholesterol, which is in fats, to repair your brain and everything else like that. If they tell you to eat low fat, it's another psyop. Hey, don't eat fats, you're gonna be healthier if you avoid fats if your cholesterol is low. Both of those things I personally don't believe are true, and I feel much better when I'm eating a lot of fats that have cholesterol. And that's all I need to know to intuitively— I feel healthier when I'm eating more of these They tell me this is bad. Okay, I'm not going to listen to that advice. Taking, taking pre-workouts and protein powders, you see the advertisements. Whoa, take this protein shake directly after your workout. You're going to get way more jacked. You're going to shred it. You're going to lose fat if you take our protein powder and take this extreme Head Exploder 3000 pre-workout. It was in the gym catalog. If you're just getting into the gym, you're like, okay, well, how can I enhance my workouts? All the stimulants, all these fake chemicals. I've done it. I understand the marketing. I understand the appeal. However, if you're just getting into fitness and you get shoehorned down this little, this little psyop to have these kind of chemically processed ingredients and pre-workouts and drinks and, you know, dried milk powder that's just a waste cheese product that is not really making you healthier, you know. So you have to consider that just because it's based around the gym culture doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to make you healthier. In fact, there is a lot about modern gym culture which may be better than being a sedentary buffoon, but in general, it's not the way to apex natural health, which is what we're all about. Avoiding sugar. Avoid sugar, it's bad for you. That is the message that we receive in society. However, it's not the case. The issue is people say, I felt so much better when I cut all sugar out of my life. What sugar were they actually eating before? Oh, they were having the caramel syrup triple latte mochaccino from Dunkin' Donuts and 3 massive donuts as well. And that obviously has a lot of sugar in it, but it's this artificial processed sugar, you know, the pump caramel mix, artificial flavorings on top of that. So of course when you cut out things like that, you're going to feel better, and I encourage that, to do that. However, is avoiding sugar what is making the difference here? I can tell you from personal experience that Having large amounts of high-quality, fresh, natural sugars, the majority being raw honey for me, fresh orange juice, obviously fruit, all of that has given me nothing but more energy and has a recuperative anti-stress effect. So is it about avoiding sugar? No, it's about avoiding processed garbage. Natural sugars that you eat in accordance with the amount of physical activity, mental activity that you do is the better way to health. Another thing that is linked to avoiding sugar is people that will have artificial sweeteners instead. So what they could have put in their coffee was a bit of honey, or I don't really like cane sugar, but it would be better than these artificial sweeteners. You just put, you know, it's dried cane juice ideally. That is healthier than artificial sweeteners that they tell you to replace it with. Stevia— I saw people were talking about online the other day about how stevia— they— people couldn't get boners from taking stevia. And then I see that it made rats infertile when they gave stevia to these rats. So what is happening there? You're avoiding sugar to be healthier and you're losing your reproductive capability. You got to look at what's happening there. I personally don't believe in these sweeteners. There's a bunch of actual science about how it disrupts the gut lining, the microbiome, absorbing foods, contributes to anxiety, depression, all those kinds of things that you can look into. The short of it is, hey, avoid these artificial zero-calorie sweeteners. They're not healthier than just to have a bit of sugar. Counting your macros over everything else. So you end the day and you look in your little calculator or on your notepad. No one uses notepads these days, probably. But you see, oh, I got 120 grams of protein. I got my 80 grams of carbs and 50 grams of fat. Well, where have those macros come from? This is the issue with talking about macros, is people will eat a burger that's been fried in seed oils. And they'll look at the numbers on the back of the burger packet and say, oh, 20 grams of protein, 6 grams fat. Okay, add it into my little calculator. Yep, I got my macros for the day. Does that make that burger healthy? Is that contributing to the vibrancy of your body's maximum health? No, it's not. So you have to look at what micros did you get, what micronutrients, what minerals, what kind of living food enzymes did you get that day? And if you're purely focusing on the macros, you're not going to get the maximum amount of health. I see these processed absolute garbage, you know, protein drinks in a plastic bottle, and it's got a big, oh, 20 grams protein on, get your macros, and people just drink it like, yeah, I'm getting 20 grams protein, wow, that's healthy. That's not the mentality you have to have. Soy milk, of course, this is a bit of a meme at this point. However, there's likely still a— I see like a folk— there's a focused effort to tell people that soy milk is healthier than normal milk, that oat milk is healthier than the normal milk. I've been in coffee shops where I'll see fairly jacked fit guy, kind of surfer looking, and he'll come in and he'll say, yeah, I'll get a grande cappuccino. 'With soy milk, please,' or 'I'll get it with oat milk.' And I just look at him, I'm like, 'Look, peace and love, I'm not judging.' But it just goes to show that, of course, look, milk from the cow, no other processing done to it, ideally it's raw. You are ludicrous if you're going to tell me that getting oat sludge, mixing it with rapeseed oil artificial sweeteners in a plastic box that just like sitting in a warehouse for weeks, then that being heated up and put in your coffee, that's healthier because it's not normal milk. That's insane. It's, you know, you really have to think about in terms of that. There's enough propaganda that kind of relatively healthy people are eating that way. So soy milk, oat milk, it's not healthier than normal milk. If you have believed that. Overcooking food, or making sure that you cook food to enhance the protein availability, or whatever else— cooking food, unless you're talking about things like potatoes, rice, or starchy vegetables, cooking animal products and fruits and other things like that is only ever going to decrease the nutritional availability of that food. That is why we prefer raw milk above pasteurized milk. It's why we prefer raw meat over cooked meat. Overcooked meat. People have a bit of a fear, particularly with chicken, to avoid any food that hasn't been completely cooked through so that it's safe of the bacteria and the salmonella. Again, I mentioned that before, there's really nothing to be scared of. I've eaten raw chicken. I've eaten chicken that is kind of pink in the middle. It's much more tasty. I've eaten raw ground beef. They say that's one you should avoid. I've eaten it for years, no worries. You know, people having a ground beef burger where they're cooking both sides and they think, oh my God, there's red in the middle, what's gonna happen? Nothing, nothing's gonna happen. It's perfectly fine. You're not gonna get sick just from that. And so being this militant about overcooking your food. It's not going to help. It's going to decrease nutrients. Not the best way to health. Fasting. A lot of people, particularly in the online health podcast space, it's become rather popular to fast for health and the idea of autophagy, where your body eats up cells and things like that. I do think that there is a time and a place for lowering the amount of food that you're eating on occasion. However, in today's world, most people are so starved of actual quality raw fats, animal nutrition, raw meat, raw fruits, whatever it is, that fasting actually just puts them further into the depleted state. And rather than fasting most people should be going into a— changing their diet a little bit so they're getting more nutrients, they're getting more raw fats, so they're able to do more, heal more, detox more. And in that case, that is going to be healthier than a fast. Women should not be fasting a lot of the time. Men do better with it. Like I said, if you're doing it for spiritual reasons, you want to cleanse the body of that. Otherwise, your diet is very nutrient dense and you want to do it as a willpower thing. Yes, there's definitely an argument for having a fast and doing a fast of some kind. I do not think it is the absolute cure-all that people should be doing regularly. I think they should be done intently. And the other thing is, if someone goes on a fast and that means that that fast is stopping them from eating processed garbage that they would otherwise eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, yeah, your body's going to be like 'Whoa, I'm not getting poisoned anymore. This fast must be really good.' Yeah, but not eating the processed things would also make you feel good. And probably adding some beautiful, delicious, natural, raw whole foods on top, you're going to feel even better than you did off the fast because you were avoiding those things. So yeah, that's something to consider. Intermittent fasting, especially if you're waking up in the morning and going hours and hours and hours without food if your body is not nutritionally repleted and high in minerals and these other things, it can end up being just a little damaging, a little intense, and isn't necessarily going to bring you back to optimal health. Plastic containers. Yep, getting into the gym, I'm gonna carry my big plastic water bottle with me so I, I drink all the time, and I'm gonna take my meals in plastic, and I'm gonna bring them into work and microwave them. This is something I used to do at the office job that I used to have. I would bring a plastic tub with a little steamer tray in the bottom, and then broccoli, a little bit of water, microwave it for 2.5 minutes, and then just eat that broccoli. And it was, you know, microwaved in the plastic container, munching on the broccoli, and I was like, I'm so healthy. Broccoli, some people like it. I believe if they have an intuitive desire to eat it and it makes them feel good, yeah, cool. It's not something that I eat constantly. I would maybe eat 1 or 2 pieces every now and again if it's there and it's like a nice steam and it's vibrant and it's crunchy, it's not overcooked. But I was under the false belief that microwaving, steaming my broccoli in plastic was a healthy thing to do. When I would have been better off just avoiding that entirely. The plastic containers in general— look, sometimes that is unavoidable with the modern world and access to food. If I found raw milk in a plastic bottle, I would drink that rather than not having any raw milk at all. So that is the trade-off. However, if you're looking to get into health and everything you're doing is to take meals everywhere you go in plastic containers so that you can microwave them and get your macros in, that is just not the way to do it in my opinion. So glass containers, they're easy to get. We're eating raw, so we don't need to microwave things. You're already much, much better off eating like that than microwaving these plastic containers of food. Most meal prep companies are— okay, they cook the food, they put it in plastic, they wrap it in plastic, they freeze it, then they send it to you and you get the healthy food to eat. That is what a lot of people will do if they make the commitment. And again, if that is going to get you off junk food, maybe that's the step that you need. However, I'm here to tell you that it's better off to have raw foods that are don't need cooking, you don't need prepping. You just— okay, if you want to chop it up, you chop it up and then put in bowl. Boom, Bob's your uncle. There you go, it's ready. Once you have the knowledge, it's much easier to eat healthy because you don't have that whole thing of needing to cook an elaborate 3-ingredient meal, which most people don't have a lot of time for if they're busy with work and things. And that's a big barrier to eating healthy, and I understand it. I used to be like that. So I used to be in that position. So really having the understanding that you don't need to do that, raw animal foods are better, you can just put it in a glass container and you're good to go, is actually really, really beneficial. Use sunscreen. Slip, slop, slap, you know, put on this chemical sludge so that you can avoid the sun and you don't get sunburnt and you don't get any sun exposure because that's healthy. If you follow me, you probably know that by now. Sunscreen is full of the very chemicals that will burn up in your skin, cause skin damage, cause skin cancer. The sun is not what is harming you here. It is not something that needs to be protected against. If you do want to minimize your sun exposure, simply go out of the sun, put a t-shirt on, put a cap on, put a long sleeve on. You do not have to put these chemical sludges which have been shown to and literally recalled from shelves in stores because they've been linked to cancer. So there you go. Any chemical that's been isolated and put into a random mixture in order to solve a health problem that has actually isn't a health problem, that is going to contribute to things like cancer and bad health in general. So understand that sunscreen is not something to be used in my opinion. And the sun is not something to be avoided at all. It is the source of all vibrant health in this world. Low calorie equals healthy. No, it doesn't. What low calorie means is that there's actually no real nutrients in it. There's no real food in it. It's a zero calorie, high protein cookie that's been artificially sweetened, and we took out all the real sugar and we turned it into some freak monster cookie that, oh, it fits your macros. No, that is not how you get to true health. Please do not think that way. Zero calorie does not mean healthy. We need calories to survive. Taking certain injections to boost the immune system. Now, I can't really go into detail here, but for those of you that understand what I'm talking about, taking any chemical mixture injecting it under your skin into your body in order to be healthier. That is not what is happening. That is not possible with that whole sequence of events. And there's been much, much evidence of doing that negatively harming your health. The human body does not need anything other than the natural environment, high-quality foods, and a solid lifestyle in order to be healthy. You do not need these mass-produced, very profitable medicines that get injected into you. So that's all I'll say on that. Drink 8 glasses of tap water. Yep, to be healthy we need 8 glasses of tap water a day. What are they putting in the tap water? What medications? What fluoride-related compounds that affect the pineal gland and the brain in humans are in your tap water. So you have the government or whoever else recommending drink 8 glasses of tap water a day so that you can be healthier. That is not the case. There's plastics, medications, everything else that pollutes the water, chlorine. Avoid tap water completely. You don't need 8 glasses of even really good water in order to be healthy per day. So there's two reasons that that statement is wrong, but a lot of people are told that they need to chug down tap water in order to be healthy. Eight glasses. That's not the case. What you do need is perhaps living spring water that you harvest yourself in glass on occasion, making teas with it. In general, I mostly drink milk and fruit juices and celery juice as my hydration. I'm not really sipping on water much of the time unless it is a water and I'm adding my own minerals, which is also an option. So 8 glasses of water is not needed. Taking chemically synthesized supplements. Now this is something that I've changed my mind on over the last year and a bit. Taking something that has been created in a laboratory using most of the time petrochemicals, which are substances derived from oil— it's a huge industry, it's what most medications are made out of— is petrochemicals. Most supplements are made out of that as well. And I'm talking about the supplements that are like vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin A. That doesn't really exist in nature. If you think about it, they say vitamin C is in oranges. How did they— how did they figure out that? Okay, they've taken oranges, they've usually burnt it, heated up to a ridiculous amount taken that dust, extracted something else, added a chemical, mixed it up again, boiled it, and then scraped off something at the end, called that vitamin C. Now, I don't know if that's the exact process of manufacturing vitamin C, but that is the process for most of these vitamins, even if they're naturally derived, right? That is not the same thing as whatever is in oranges that is good for us. People say you need vitamin C in order to be healthy, have a healthy immune system. Eat the oranges. Oranges are healthy. Taking a supplement of a bottle of pills of a substance that's been made in a lab, that is not vitamin C. That is not something that's healthy for you, and it's not something that I would ever take these days. The whole food source, as minimally processed as is possible, is always going to be healthier for you because it has all these cofactors and structurally it's carried by water. In terms of fruit, there's going to be things that you cannot approximate when you make it in the lab, and that is key for all of these supplements that people take. Pretty much vitamin D is synthesized from rat poison. The vitamin D you take in a pill is impossible to be anywhere close to what you receive from sunlight on your skin. Some people are taking the vitamin D pills and thinking, well, I couldn't get out in the sun today, so I'll take this pill and I'll be healthier. No, you will be healthier if you don't take that stuff, in my opinion. And that goes for pretty much any synthetically produced supplement, even some of them that are used in the holistic online space. How— just look at how this end product is synthesized. If it's not something like, oh, we just took it from a fruit, it's dried fruit, or it's a mineral salt, or it's freeze-dried oysters or something, it's just oysters that have been freeze-dried, that is the minimal process— processing that I think if you want zinc, that's what you should go for. So it's not zinc that's been made in a lab, and this is my point. The whole industry of chemically synthesized supplements is preying on people that have poor nutrition and telling them this pill is going to make you healthier. That's not the case. That's my rant over. I'll go further into detail on this because it's an interesting topic, uh, later on. Using orthopedic shoes and inserts. Now, when I grew up, probably 13 years old, 14 years old, after having worn tight shoes all day at school for years now, at that point I was getting— what was it, like knee pain, hip pains, some sort of pain? And it was because our feet have been like this. Look at our hands. That is how a healthy hand moves. That is how a healthy foot should— you know, it's not as wide as the hand, but if you imagine that's my foot, the toes need to be splayed out a little bit. In a tight shoe like this That can't happen. And when you have— when you're walking around on these little things like this, you're going to have dysregulation across the rest of the kinetic chain, and you're going to get pain. Now, the Western society's kind of model to fix that is to go see a— not orthopedic, a podiatrist, someone that specializes in feet. So I had these— visited the podiatrist, had these inserts that went into my shoes, and it was like curved like that. So my foot was curved in the way that it should be if the foot was strong and you had a natural, a natural arch because the foot is strong. If it's weak, it just goes flat. The ankle goes in, knee collapses, hip is weird, and then running just feels strange. It's because your foot is weak that you need that arch support. And if you take your feet out of these foot prisons and wear barefoot all the time and strengthen your feet intentionally with exercise, your muscle becomes the arch support. So it's the same kind of principle as, okay, you're treating the symptom instead of fixing the root cause. The root cause is weak feet. Most people don't— there's no such thing as a flat foot. There's a foot that is flat because it's weak and you haven't activated the foot muscles in so long, in years, most people. So you're gonna have a flat foot and you're gonna have issues because of it. You don't have flat feet that is just impossible to change. Like, that is not the case. And that's the case with so many health conditions that have been accepted as genetic, as something that you just have for the rest of your life. And you take your medication and you, you go to your class and you have— you get charged for it and you buy your medicine That is the model that keeps so many people in pain and illness and a low quality of life while these big companies are profiting off of it. This is why it's so important to understand your health from this point of view, from this real point of view of true health, that you can fix anything yourself. Wearing polyester clothing in the gym All right, we're hitting the gym consistently for a few weeks. Maybe we should get some gym clothes. Yeah, let's get a nice tight tee. Maybe it's yoga pants that makes my ass look good. I want the tight ones that shrink me up and make my arms look bigger. Yeah, then I'll go to the gym wearing this. And usually those, those products are made out of polyester, nylon, whatever it is. Again, petrochemical synthesized fabrics that have been treated with flame pollutant— flame retardants because they're flammable. And then you're wearing that on your body. Then you're also heating up and moving and rubbing and opening your skin, opening your lymph system, breathing a lot, all of that while you're pretty much covered in a plastic bag because it's the gym clothes that is cool and trendy to wear. That is a way that our society brainwashes us to be healthier, and actually what we're doing is not healthy for us. So if you're getting into the gym or you've been in the gym for a long time, you're still wearing polyester, hey, let's look at why that is. It's not ideal for your body. When you wear loose, baggy cotton clothes— I'll wear linen to the gym sometimes— this is going to enable your skin to breathe. You're gonna sweat better, you can move better, and we're gonna release the toxins out of our body. You're not putting new toxins in by wearing that new plastic bag around you, and that's going to be a much more— a much healthier way to train. Ideally, you're naked in the sun exercising. That's the healthiest way. But, you know, we live in a society where we have to wear clothes. Boring, I know. So wearing cotton, linen other natural materials. Wool is the best thing to do if you're looking for healthy clothes, true health. Same thing goes for if you're on an outdoor hike and you go to the camping store, man, camping stores, pretty much everything is synthetic in there because it's this high-tech fabric that wicks sweat and everything. I've done so much hiking in good wool and even just normal cotton and it's comfy. I, I— sweat gets wicked way better than these synthetic materials. I've climbed mountains in cotton and waxed linen and snowboarded in them and stuff. The benefit of going out for a nature walk and then you're covering yourself up completely in synthetics, avoiding the sun, not getting the green light on your body as well from the filtering in the leaves— all of that is again not supremely healthy and is one of the things that we get mixed up blue light in the gym. We think, let's, let's go to the gym, let's be healthy. And then we'll get to the gym and they have these blasting fluorescent lights. That seems to be what most gyms are using these days. If you have a gym that has a lot of natural lighting, boom, amazing, that's great. And that should be the norm for the new future physical wellness spaces that we create, that I will create. Where natural lighting is the focus. If there is lighting, then it's incandescent, it's heat lamps, it's infrared. The vibe will be so much better. I get it, some people want to work out at night. Maybe I'll even put fire lanterns on the walls if I can do that. My point being, if you want to get healthier, going indoors to a box where you're blasted with blue light is not the ideal move. So if you have a choice to find a gym with better lighting, do so. If you can work outside in the sunlight, that's even better for true health. Going for a run— it is a positive thing that you are making yourself move outside and improve your exercise. However, you got to think about where you're running. If you're in a city and you're going outside, you're putting your foot prisons on, you're wearing your polyester and you're running up and down the main road where you're breathing a lot of car fumes, how much good is that really doing for you? It's hard to say. My recommendation would be that if you want to go for a run, make sure you're doing it in a place with clean air as much as is possible. A park. You have barefoot shoes on, you're wearing cotton. It's an entirely different experience, and a lot of people will get discouraged because they don't enjoy going for a run in polyester and weird tight shoes, and they breathe in fumes, and they get home, they're like, oh, actually, that wasn't that nice. And maybe it's better— it is better for them to put on some cool loose clothing and go for a stroll in a park instead. That is going to be much healthier. And this is the point I'm trying to get across: we want to maximize the natural way of life, minimize these toxic modernities that we have to put up with. Well, we don't have to put up with them, but you know my point. Maximize natural life, minimize the things that are toxic— processed modernities that uninformed people push as the healthy thing to do. Taking painkillers. Just like you don't want to avoid symptoms, you don't want to feel pain and take a painkiller and just ignore it. That's what a lot of people do. I have a headache, do The smart thing to do is think, why do I have a headache? I'm probably dehydrated, that's mainly it. I should have some water with some minerals added in. Thanks brain for making my head hurt, now I can go fix that problem. So otherwise, taking the painkiller for every small, I've got a stomachache, I've got a headache, my arm hurts a little bit, I'm gonna pop a painkiller and do that instead, that is not ideal. Painkillers, obviously synthetic petrochemical things that have an effect on our body that might not necessarily be the best. And they also give our body something extra to process, deliver something to filter. I mean, what is it, Tylenol? I've seen a lot of opinions about that just being super poisonous, and I believe that 100%. People die from overdosing on it. Okay, well, if you can die from overdosing on something then probably a smaller amount is not that good for you. And I know there are exceptions to that kind of principle, but you can't overdose on ginger. If you have just so much ginger that it's like, whoa, you're not going to die from it. This is the difference between petrochemicals that can be dangerous and the natural, unprocessed whole food things— herbs, minerals that are actually naturally derived there's no real— maybe some of them will make you feel a bit sick, but you're not going to die from having too much rosemary, for example. Willow bark is what aspirin is derived from. There are natural painkillers, there are natural cleansing tools, there are natural ways of helping with any symptom or illness that we should have that we have simply forgot. And this is a great idea for another video that I'll do where, you know, common herbs that can be used for ailments, which I'll get into. But the point being, taking things like painkillers, taking things like anti— antibiotics to just nuke your, your body's bacteria— okay, you are your bacteria, so what are you doing by killing it? What Why do people take antibiotics? To reduce symptoms. Oh, I have an infected finger. Infected finger. When you, for instance, hurt your finger, there's damaged tissue inside. It swells up to cause the inflammation so that your body can direct blood flow, nutrients. The bacteria can get in and break down the damaged cells and then remove them from the body. That's, that's what is happening there. But we see that as, oh, I'm infected, I've been attacked and invaded by these little things that are taking over my finger, better slam some antibiotics so that that stops. And for one, you don't even know if it is stopping. Two, do you want to stop the healing process? No. Three, a lot of the time people be like, the antibiotics didn't work. Yeah, because there's no way that this specific healing reaction is going to be positively impacted by you taking a poison, essentially. So that's something to keep in mind with a lot of the common medications— antibiotics, painkillers— that we use in the modern world because we think that it's better. Our science has advanced to the point where this is good, and we're, you know, we're better than nature, and we understand better than our bodies. And I can tell you from what I've seen, what I experienced, and what I believe in my soul, that that is not true. So that is pretty much it for everything that I could think of, at least for now. I hope this information was helpful to you. I hope that it stokes up some discussion within yourself and challenges your beliefs, because that is what we're all about in order to create the most coherent, best worldview for ourselves that works the best, improves our health the most. And I encourage any questions if you guys have and you want me to expand a bit further, drop them in the comments below. I'll see you in the next video. Thank you so much.
