Physical Health Pillar
Most people generally think of exercise when they hear “physical health.” Exercise is part of the puzzle but not the only aspect of the physical health pillar.
The physical health pillar encompasses appropriate sleep, hygiene, immunity and diet.
Hygiene entails more than washing your hands. Incorporating food, water and general gut health amongst other sub categories is part of the protocol.
Exercise and physical health: musculoskeletal health and functional capabilities
An adequately functioning musculoskeletal system is a key factor for functional capacity, independence, and good quality of life. Impaired functional capacity and degenerative diseases of the musculoskeletal organs are one of the most prevalent and increasing sources of morbidity and suffering.
Physical activity positively influences most structural components of the musculoskeletal system that are related to functional capabilities and the risk of degenerative diseases. Physicality also has the potential to postpone or prevent prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, such as mechanical low back pain, neck and shoulder pain, and osteoporosis and related fractures.
Exercise can contribute to the rehabilitation of musculoskeletal disorders and recovery from orthopedic surgery. A substantial part of the age-related decline in functional capabilities is not due to aging per se but to decreased and insufficient physical activity. Physical activity has great potential to favorably influence both the normal and pathological structures, functions, and processes. Musculoskeletal benefits of physical activity can be attained by people of all ages and with various diseases.
This potential is substantial because many benefits are gained by activity which is moderate in amount and intensity. Scientific evidence is sufficient to recommend regular lifelong physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle for everyone in order to enhance musculoskeletal health and functions for individual and population levels. However, several important issues regarding the effects, effectiveness, feasibility, and safety of exercise to improve various aspects of musculoskeletal health and functional capabilities need further research.

Diet has Become Job 1 for Americans Seeking Physical Wellness
Diet is of course included inl wellness. The diet industry is a multi billion dollar cluster of confusion. We will present science based options specifically designed for your unique body.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends adults get at least seven to nine hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. This isolated health aspect is woefully deficient in millions of Americans contributing to weakened immunity. The combination of poor diet and nutrition, stress and environmental toxins are just a few of the contributors in compromised physical health.
Resistance training is a central tenet of this pillar often overlooked by health seekers. Building muscle is central to shoring up immunity, bone density and the cardiovascular system. We explore common and nuanced approaches to this very important aspect of fitness.
An important part of resistance training is of course, diet and nutrition. We discuss supplements from foundational vitamins and minerals to targeted bodybuilding specific supplements and accessories.
This pillar presents a trove of physical wellness methods to achieve your goals. We love researching new studies and fleshing out established findings in our growing library of articles. Our philosophy is to question the mainstream narrative pushed by big pharma and offer natural solutions. It takes around 17 years for the medical industry to adopt proven therapies on average! This statistic alone should have you questioning the propaganda fed to the masses!
