WHAT?

This is a simple act of protest. A protest that begins and ends with you. It’s a protest against the broken systems that surround us and form what we accept to be normal. It’s an idea that if we begin to make decisions that favor our health, it will upend many of the broken systems that are destroying our quality of life, communities, and planet. I’m talking about our food systems, politics, our endless consumption.

Let’s get one thing straight though: it’s absolutely exhausting running every decision through a prism of health. It’s also confusing. The Information Age ensures there is a voice and opinion on every topic. And the confusion is certainly a benefit to the companies and corporations that run their decision making through a prism of profitability… it’s always about the bottom-line for them.

So if you don’t like the world you see around you… if you aren’t living your best… if you aren’t sure what to believe anymore… Health as Protest.

WHY?

Speaking of not liking the world you see around you, or living your best, below are just a handful of alarming trends in the United States. From a life expectancy that began trending downward after a 40 year rise, to obesity and diabetes rates skyrocketing, there is a problem in this country. These trends are becoming the new normal, and it’s heartbreaking.
