Physics don't lie

Life is too short for modesty. Jonwayne, white rapper

GM 🦁 This is Andrew's Apples, the health email that eats the cowards and the philistines of the wellness hellworld. Gimme 2 min. Let's go picking.

1. 🤒 The metabolic heath crisis. It bears repeating that 88% of Americans are not metabolically healthy. That's high. Meaning: only 12% of adult Americans showed "optimal levels of all five metabolic risk factors: BMI, glucose, blood pressure, HDL, and triglycerides without medication." Fake food, bad sleep, 24/7 rage-news cycle, and IVs of Sierra Mist... not a surprise in the slightest. You have to tell these institutions and mega-corporations to kick rocks, and follow with action: eat unprocessed organic food, use personal/home products by approved by EWG, dodge added sugars, and walk for 10 minutes after every meal. Correcting sleep is a bigger issue that we will tackle at a later date. Look, this is not as sexy as inflation/wwiii/roe v wade/vaccine efficacy, which is why this country's pathetic health status remains in the appendix, collecting dust.

2. 🧘 Physics don't lie. The nonobvious reason why physical movement is so important is that you can't lie. You either hold the handstand or you don't. I, like you, can literally see if you did it. 1s and 0s. A cynic (realist?) may argue that one point of rationality is so you can lie to yourself which then begets lying to other people. You give yourself a pass before passing the same lies to others. I went to a therapist in 2019 for a few months, working through some mid-twenties shit. Guess what? I white-lied my way through those sessions because I did not want to confront my demons. I'll pick on talk therapy because it teaches many not to heal, but to get good at lying. But forget lying in a 100-yard sprint, a soccer scrimmage, a death-defying deadlift. This is in part why the yoga tradition starts with the gross physical (poses, breathing, chanting) before one advances to the subtler stages of meditation and contemplation. Plus, in the end, lying thoughts don't burn calories, they add them.

3. 🍼 Killing babies. Lol no this is not about abortion - career suicide for another day! It's about our nation's declining fertility running parallel to the metabolic health crisis (see #1). The research is tied to all sorts of interesting stuff, like increased miscarriage rates, placental dysfunction, men taking diabetes medication, and environmental toxins. Plus all the other things you hear me harping on day in day out.

4. 💊 Pillsburied. This tweet below. I have reached a point where whenever I meet a young kid who seems on the surface well-adjusted, I think Word, so what they got you on? 

How do you like them Apples? If you ever need anything, hit reply. Love hearing from readers.

Your friend,
