What we’re seeing right now—people in their 40s, 50s, 60s, even 70s on a pile of prescriptions—didn’t happen overnight. It’s been building for decades. Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear: Three things are wrecking the human body more than anything else. 1. Modern food + metabolic damage Most food today isn’t real food. It’s engineered. Ultra-processed, sugar-loaded, inflammatory, and designed for convenience—not health. Over time this leads to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, fatty liver, joint pain, gut issues, low energy, brain fog… and eventually meds to “manage” all of it. 2. Lack of movement The human body was built to move daily. Not occasionally. Not “when life slows down.” When muscle disappears and the heart gets weaker, everything else suffers—blood sugar, hormones, joints, mood, sleep. Pills don’t fix that. Movement does. 3. Alcohol (and chronic stress riding shotgun) Alcohol doesn’t help you relax. It disrupts sleep, wrecks recovery, raises blood pressure, inflames the gut, and messes with hormones. Add chronic stress on top of it and your nervous system never gets a break. The body stays in survival mode. Now zoom out for a second… Most medications don’t cure the root problem. They manage symptoms after the damage is already done. That’s why people keep adding prescriptions: Blood pressure → cholesterol → blood sugar → sleep → pain → mood. One problem leads to the next. This isn’t about shaming meds. Some are necessary. Some are life-saving. But if you don’t address the inputs, you’ll always be chasing the outputs. Food. Movement. Sleep. Stress. Recovery. Fix the foundation and the body does what it’s designed to do. Adapt. Heal. Get stronger.
