... Defense is not the way to wellness. Offense is the way to wellness. We’ve got to be proactive. And I say at least once or twice a day to somebody in their 40s and 50s, I say this is the time, right now, you've got to get serious about this.

...My point of this entire podcast is that there is a reason why our bodies are falling apart. It's not just a genetic thing. It's not just inherent disease and bad luck and just inevitable misery that we all have to endure. We’re all going to get sick at some point in our lives. That’s inevitable. We can’t avoid that, but there is plenty that we can do to reverse our misery. And it star...

... The L5 disc takes a beating in modern life. Just the act of sitting for long periods is very stressful on the lower back. I know sitting doesn't seem like a stressful thing, but it is.

... But what is pain? Pain is a symptom. Pain is an effect. Pain is not the actual problem that you're having, even though at that time it is dominating everything about your life.

And if you just do something for the pain, if you just put...

It's something that the body expresses. And if that's the case then health is too... Deficiency an...

... Longevity isn't really enough. That's not really what we're after. Because if you live 30 years in misery, unable to have any kind of quality of life because you're wrought with disease and symptoms and pain, we haven't really achieved anything because we want to live long but we want to live well. And so we're going to talk about the concept that I spent my days...

...So the question has to become, if the body is intelligent, what is the body trying to do, and how can I help it?

The approach is very di...

...There's plenty that we can do. Our bodies are not weak, sick, and stupid. We are not genetically designed for illness. We are genetically designed for health. We are programmed for health, innately from birth. It's how our bodies were made. Health is our natural state. So, if we learn the things that bring about health, we can take plenty of measures, do plenty of things to try and he...

...I’ve identified for myself over the years, several what I call “pillars” of health. And those are the things that I’m going to want to try and concentrate on during the time that I make these recordings. What is a pillar? A pillar is a structure that helps support something and so when we’re talking about pillars of health, these are topics that help support us being healthy and living well. An...
