A Few Things I Believe
Prevention is nearly always cheaper than treatment. The best investment in your health is the one you make before you need it.
Skepticism is love, not cynicism. Questioning health claims — including from doctors you trust — is how you honor your one body.
The basics matter more than the exotic. Sleep, movement, whole foods, and community outperform nearly every supplement you can buy.
Small doses, consistently applied. You don't need to overhaul your life. You need to find one good practice and actually do it.
