Researchers found that exercise should be the "first choice treatment" for depression, anxiety and psychological distress, as it improves symptoms 1.5 times better than both leading medications and talk therapy.

If you're following this page this probably isn't news to you.

Rather than pointing out the obvious let's tackle the nuances here...

There is one group of people capable of designing effective exercise programs.

They're called fitness professionals.

With the #1 intervention and prevention strategy for treating anxiety and depression being exercise the ball is in officially in the court of an industry traditionally focused on biceps as opposed to brain health.

If you're wondering why fitness influencers are comparing their quads on Instagram while teenagers overdose on benzodiazepines? Because they didn't get the memo that the #1 most effective tool for improving mental health is the one that they are uniquely qualified to prescribe.

The physician who has ten minutes to spend with an anxious teenager dispenses drugs because it's their last resort. They have no idea how to prescribe exercise-the #1 most effective tool in improving mental health.

The therapist doesn't know how to design an exercise program either...this isn't their field.

The game of finger pointing between industries is the result of a health hierarchy being reshuffled by breakthroughs in science and technology.

No one knows whose job it is to teach kids to exercise for improved mental health, so a generation gets pills instead of skills.

We've been tackling this problem for a decade.

We've built the most comprehensive and educational exercise program on the planet to improve youth mental health and tested it with hundreds of teens.

It works🧠🔥

We're training the health and fitness professionals who are ready to step up to the plate and help kids put the physical foundation for mental health in place.

Whose problem is this?

It's our problem.

And we're ready to turn the research into OUTREACH and teach the next generation about their physiology, first.

Albert Einstein was 5 years old when his Dad handed him a compass...

Albert spent the rest of his life working to better understand the nature of spacetime, gravity, and motion.

Today, we would have put him on amphetamines at 6 years old for focusing on what captivated his imagination naturally.

Instead of what someone pointed to on a blackboard...

If you meet motivated, passionate, driven adults with their focus clearly directed towards the aims that uplift their souls, send them our way.

We'll hire them, immediately.

The archetype of the modern adult is anything but focused.

Their already scattered attention is further dispersed by algorithms that cash in on their addiction to outrage.

The child understands intuitively that what captures their attention naturally points them on their path to purpose.

It is a magnet for meaning.

Purpose, meaning, and human connection will be the most valuable resources of the century.

Look to the child to understand the core lessons that focus teaches.

The ability to ignore everything outside of your zone of genius will separate the best from the rest.

The greatest mistake a society can make is to drug their future geniuses.

Pay attention to the mass medication of a generation.

It's a lesson in the cost of conformity in an age where critical thinking has never been more critical.

It's time to pay attention to where the child puts their focus as we reorient ourselves on the path towards our potential.

When teens come to our campus after school they find an interesting cast of characters...

Teachers who run ultramarathons in their spare time.

Entrepreneurs who've built inspiring businesses by embracing change, instead of running from it.

Adults who engage in the strange and forgotten practice of "rigorous daily exercise to improve mental and physical fitness."

The teens are shocked to find adults too busy lifting weights, chopping wood for the sauna, or asking them genuine questions about their day, their lives, and their goals that they drop their phones....

I've never seen a teen on their phone at our campus.

Ever.

We engage them in the art of strengthening the mind and body with the support of a community.

In the absence of mentorship and health infrastructure the phone can be a portal to a doomscrolling dystopia. This is a RESPONSE to the breakdown of community, not a cause of it.

The "take away their phones!" movement is a powerful example of how to repel a generation of kids who you've lost touch with to the point that they no longer seek your guidance. They just turn to Chat GPT instead...

The alternative? Teaching kids to use technology intelligently, and with agency, while learning to operate their physiology first.

This May we are training leaders in health and education to teach teens to:

Breathe
Sleep
Exercise
Cook a nutritious meal
Maintain brain health in the digital age

Today every parent gets to choose between moralistic myths from the early 1900's and modern science.

The idea that conformity = a hygienic mind belongs in the world of horse drawn carriages, milkmaids, and handwritten grocery receipts.

The reality that individuality is the nature of biology is how science progresses us from the Dark Ages to the enlightenment.

The child trying to escape the cage of the classroom isn't "mentally unwell."

They're physically healthy.

We are training the next generation of health professionals. Data-driven, science based, health optimization specialists.

We asses the following:

🫁Breath
💤Sleep
🏋🏽‍♀️Exercise
🥗Nutrition
🫀Metabolic health
🧠 Brain health

We build personalized health programs that bring out the best in every child.

When you teach teens and families about their physiology, first, you realize that the kids were never broken to begin with.

They were the products of a mental health industry built on the puritanical moral values of another century.

It's time to put science > superstition.

It's time to assess, instead of guess.

It's time to teach the next generation about the power of their physiology, first🧠🔥

I saw a post the other day...

It said "10 Hidden Signs of Autism."

1.) Walking the dog. For dopamine...

2.) Relaxing when tired.

3.) Wearing pajamas to bed. Because sensory...

You get the grift.

This new breed of illness influencer is part of the pharmaceutical industry's marketing machine.

Step 1.) Click the post.

Step 2.) An advertisement pops up shortly after.

Step 3.) The advertisement is a free questionnaire linked to a teletherapy or telemedicine company.

The rebranding of normal human behavior as "mental illness" is a master stroke of marketing genius.

And...a Trojan horse for the stimulant drug market💊

Pretty soon a 14 year old goes from self-diagnosed to "officially diagnosed" to taking amphetamines for walking her dog and wearing pajamas.

That's called business, folks.

Unfortunately, the fitness industry is largely unfamiliar with the concept.

Most are too busy comparing their quads on Instagram while kids in their community pop speed and wash it down with benzodiazepines.

The fitness industry is like a kitten in the ring with pit bulls.

Our team at Physiology First isn't afraid to step into the ring and fight for the health of our next generation.

Someone on Instagram asked if I ever work out. They don't see me post videos of myself lifting weights...

Yes.

I train daily. Haven't missed a day in a decade.

My last "online workout" was a 100 mile run around a high school track to raise money for our youth programs.

I've run over a dozen ultra marathons on the toughest courses in the world.

I sauna, cold plunge, or cultivate a mechanism to train the mind and body every day.

The real question is-who gives a f**k?

Training is the preparation for something, by definition. It's not inherently that interesting.

I'd prefer this page to be a montage of meaning, and a call to action to build a future that inspires, rather than a highlight reel of how many times I break a sweat each week.

At Physiology First we're leading a revolution in health for a new generation🧠🔥

Without clarity of purpose obsessive self-improvement is self obsession.

I've seen no shortage of people fall into the trap of training for nothing and feeling like nothing matters-and they're right.

"If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable." ~ Seneca

Laser focus on the problems you deem most important is the solution to the atrophy of the soul in the shell of a body built for social media.

When people say there's more to mental health than exercise, they're absolutely correct.

Purpose is the ultimate currency in an age of material abundance and internal poverty.

You're either building the architecture of the future, or tearing down the architecture of the moment just to take a break from the boredom.

Physiology First is focused on building the health infrastructure of the future for a generation that needs skills, tools, and support. We train every day, because we're training with purpose, and playing to win.

We are heading into the greatest economic transition since the Industrial Revolution.

The shift from an agricultural society to the factories and school houses of the early 1900's tore the fabric of families to shreds.

Today, the average parent knows their child as nothing more than a passing shadow in the night.

The shell of a bubbling, creative, enthusiastic dreamer that school sedated in preparation for the entry level factory jobs which no longer exist.

In this ghost of a household the very concept of mentorship is a cultural artifact. Parents pass on their anxiety instead of their wisdom.

Kids inherit worries about a changing future, instead of optimism that change can be embraced, and welcomed with curiosity.

The #1 question on the mind of every adult today should be:

"What will I be in the new world?"

The careers that cemented the identities of a generation are disappearing, fast. The opportunity to reinvent, innovate, and create the next iteration of the self is more than abundant, you're literally holding it in your hand if you're reading this post.

But most parents won't adapt.

They will be frozen with inertia in the intersection of the AI revolution as their children look to Chat GPT for the guidance they couldn't provide.

Anxiety can't be the inheritance of our next generation.

We are building a movement of innovators, entrepreneurs, and 21st century educators to prepare the next generation for the future.

No one “has” health.

We are adapting every moment to internal and external feedback that fundamentally alters the status of our body and brain.

We are navigating the road of our own potential. We are at the steering wheel of our own adaptation. We are in control of our own evolution.
~
When we take our hands off the wheel on the slippery road of 21st century life our health spins out of control.

From diet, to movement, to sleep, the fundamental building blocks of mental and physical health come crashing down.

Chronic stress, anxiety, panic, and depression are the body’s signals to regain control of the wheel for the sake of survival.

It’s not a disorder to experience discomfort to prompt a change in behavior for the purpose of increasing survival odds.

It’s evolution.

To suggest that we can have mental health in a body devoid of its most basic needs negates the science of physiology entirely.

Mental health isn’t something we “have.”

It’s a reflection of our internal state which is infinitely adaptable.

We are the only animal that can adapt on purpose by training to experience the depth of our innate potential.

Here’s to a new, proactive, and empowering conversation on mental health, mental fitness, and human potential that respects our adaptive capacity and unlimited potential.

"All new information is misinformation.” ~ Naval Ravikant
~
If words were weapons the term misinformation would be a spitball. A slimy projectile hurled by those who get frustrated by new ideas.
~
The irony of holding onto false beliefs in the world of health? The only reward is illness…
~
The reality of physiology is that it does not care about our feelings.
~
Our bodies require hydration, nutrients, sunlight, movement, and sleep to function optimally. The average teenager is statistically deficient in each category.

Feeling like crap when our baseline physical needs are unmet isn't a "disorder."

It's the order of biology.

The truth is we didn’t need another study to demonstrate that meeting the needs of our body is more effective than medicating away the prompts to do so.

But, now we have one. What’s changed?

Nothing. Unless we change it.

The notion that medication is more effective than movement was never about information. It was about profit margins.

As the information wars rage on we continue to introduce a generation to the power of their body through experience🧠🔥

The movement to get kids moving is growing…

The revolution in evolution is happening…

The return to common sense is coming, if only for those who prefer “the truth” to “their truth.”

We are building a new approach to proactive, data-based, health optimization for a generation.

Every time you introduce a child to the skills and tools for optimal health the fact that we’re diagnosing and drugging a generation of kids without a basic health assessment seems more absurd.

In an age where illness is normalized and health is radicalized listen for new information. It's the sound of a paradigm shifting.

Thankfully we've agreed that using soap prior to performing surgery is a sound bet🧼 The next quantum leap in critical thinking begins by teaching the next generation about their physiology, first.

First off...

Most parents were never taught ANYTHING about their physiology.

But EVERYONE can learn to operate their body and share the skills with the next generation👊🏽

1.) Breath is the intersection of our body, brain, and environment. Learning to breathe is a life skill that every parent must teach by modeling.

2.) Sleep is where the brain removes waste that has built up throughout the day. Sticky proteins clump between brain cells (the same ones related to dementia and Alzheimer's) Sleep is where the glymphatic system washes these proteins away. Mental health is not possible when the brain is filled with yesterday's junk. Teaching a child HOW to sleep well is a 21st century skill.

3.) Exercise regulates the brain chemicals responsible for mood, satisfaction, attention, motivation, and focus. It is a mental health non-negotiable, yet less than 1-4 of kids meet the minimum physical activity guidelines. You must be the mentor your child needs to build their brain and body.

4.) Nutrition is brain fuel. Poor fuel = poor performance. Each child's nutrition needs are unique. This takes work, exploration, and dedication to your child's health. The result is a child who shines with life, vibrancy, motivation and energy.

5.) Excessive screen time results in dopamine receptors (the landing pads for our motivation molecules) being desensitized. The result? In a sea of stimulation nothing is exciting. This inability to experience joy is the definition of depression.

You probably weren't taught this.

But you CAN teach it to your kids and break the cycle.

The research study was called "Being Sane in Insane Places."

The title seems more appropriate today than ever...

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Training a generation of kids to be sedentary office workers produces a generation of sedentary office workers.

Every. Single. Time.

The key differences between today and 1973?

1.) Every normal response to captivity is labeled a "disorder" and subsequently diagnosed and medicated.

2.) There is no office waiting for this new generation of sedentary workers. The promise of a job in exchange for 20 years of obedience is an illusion that A.I has erased.

There is nothing other than a diploma and a mental diagnosis waiting for a generation of students armed with a 20th century education in a 21st century world.

The alternative?

We break the cycle of pathology...

We free the minds of our next generation...

We create humans instead of worker bees in an economy where individuality is the last frontier of humanity...

We teach the next generation about the power of their physiology, first.

Putting ourselves to sleep in an age of constant digital stimulation, artificial lights, and a society that normalizes exhaustion is a 21st century skill.

Do most teens know how light impacts melatonin levels? The half life of caffeine? The role that temperature plays in sleep quality?

Building a healthy brain requires building a healthy diet. Do most teens know how to eat for their bodies, and for their goals?

Building an exercise program for brain and body health requires navigating the fitness industry influencers contradicting everything that the previous talking head on IG Reels just said.

Do the majority of young people know how to design a strength development program to build their mental and physical fitness?

If they don’t know how to care for their mind and body, they aren’t “disordered.”

They’re kids who need mentors, tools, skills, and support🧠🔥

🌎We are training the next generation of health, fitness, and education pioneers to teach youth and families about their physiology, first.

Nearly 1/4 of kids are labeled with “disorders.”

The majority have never been taught how to improve their mental and physical fitness.

It’s time to provide the next generation with education before medication, skills before pills, and an operating manual for their physiology, first.
