We've spent billions on veteran suicide prevention.
Suicide rates are getting worse.
Maybe we're solving the wrong problem.
I spent 15 years in the Army. 6 years building an audience around veteran health. And I'm a biochemist.
It took me embarrassingly long to connect those dots.
Veterans don't have a mental health problem.
They have a biology problem.
→ 650% increase in insomnia since 2003
→ 78% have chronic stress issues
→ 70x more likely to have low testosterone
→ 65% experience chronic pain
When your cells can't produce energy, your brain — which burns 20% of it — is the first casualty.
No amount of awareness campaigns fixes that.
So I built something that might.
The Biology of Service Symposium is a free, one-day online event bringing together experts in mTBI, trauma recovery, men's health, plant medicine, and veteran transition.
Not to raise awareness.
To actually fix things.
Free to attend. Tomorrow afternoon.
