+1: #905 The Origin of Disease

🚀 Take Heroic OS for a free 7-day spin, see what changes. → https://go.heroic.us/os-pod-plus1 In our last couple +1s, we've been hanging out in our guts. (Good times!) Surprisingly, that's where we discovered 90% (!) of our serotonin and 70-80% (!!) of our immune systems. Crazy, eh? Today we're going to spend another moment on the subject. Get this: Although modern medicine pretty much ignores the gut as its standard of care focuses on alleviating symptoms rather than Optimizing systems, the idea that our guts play a central role in our well-being isn't a new idea. Let's jump into a time machine and rewind the clock about 2,400 years. Destination: Ancient Greece. It's time to meet the father of medicine: Hippocrates. You know what he said? "All disease begins in the gut." Dr. Gundry echoes that wisdom and adds a little bonus gem (via The Longevity Paradox) where he tells us: "As Hippocrates famously and wisely said, 'All disease begins in the gut.' The good news is that all disease can be stopped there as well." That's Today's +1. What's ONE thing you KNOW you could be doing to Optimize your nutrition? Is TODAY a good day to make that happen? Fantastic. High fives. Low fives. Mid fives. (Right around the gut!) Etc. Let's do this!!!
