Did you know...

Around age 12 a child's brain goes through a process called "biological muting."

The parent's voice is tuned down as the primary authority.

The child looks to society at large for clues on how to navigate the thrilling, yet terrifying, process of growing up.

When the social circle is strong and inspiring the child is drawn like a spark to a flame.

When the social circle is domesticated, screen addicted, and emotionally exhausted the child looks for inspiration wherever they can find it.

YouTube, Instagram, and Snapchat become a replacement for the real life mentorship and support the child is craving.

When adults blame kids for being on their phones, from the vantage point of their own phones, the problem is clear.

A generation of screen addicted adults are more comfortable pointing a finger at the next generation than lifting one.

In almost 10 years of holding free, accessible teen and family programs at our campus I've never seen a teen on their phone-not even once.

Why?

Because we engage them, inspire them to become the best version of themselves, and model health by leading from the front.

👉🏽This March we're looking for 10 people to join a new Health Mentor program from Physiology First.

Parents, coaches, educators-learn the foundations of health and become the advocates and inspirational leaders a generation of teens needs more than ever.

Get trained to be the health mentor you needed as a teen.

DM to join the inaugural cohort!

Let others point their fingers at teens while we help them unplug from technology and RECONNECT to their physiology🧠🔥

There's a lot of finger pointing when it comes to health...

There's a lot of coddling as well.

Here's the reality.

93% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy, and less than 22% meet the minimum physical activity standards.

100% of the kids and teens we've worked with need guidance when it comes to their health.

They need to know how breathing, sleep, nutrition, and exercise impact brain health.

They need to know how to manage stress and anxiety, cook a nutritious meal, and build an exercise program.

They need an opportunity to unplug from technology and reconnect to their physiology🧠💪🌱

👉🏽On March 1st we're launching a new program for parents, coaches, and educators. Become a Health Mentor with Physiology First and learn the foundations of health.

Gain the skills to advocate for the health of kids in your community and build the skills of optimal health into your own life.

👊🏽DM to RSVP for our first 30 day cohort on March 1st!

The next generation needs the skills and tools for optimal mental and physical health. Instead of pointing fingers, we lift them. It's time to teach the next generation about their physiology, first🧠🔥

I've worked with teens and families for over a decade. The single defining factor impacting a child's future from a health perspective is the degree of knowledge their parents possess about the brain and body.

The problem?

You can Google any side of any health debate and find a perspective, backed by peer reviewed studies, to support your position.

How do any of us make sense of reality in a sea of information in a "post truth" world?

Two strategies:

Ideological alignment: Adopt the position of whichever representative of your political ideology has recently been on a podcast.

Physiological assessment: Learn the principles of mental and physical health. Assess whether the physiological foundation for either is in place.

When parents write us questioning the pseudoscientific doctrine of some hyper politicized health practitioner we remind them of the following:

The decisions you make about your child's health will shape their perception of their own potential. You are clipping their wings, or helping them soar to their highest potential.

When parents, families, and community members come to Physiology First they get the most personalized health optimization experience on the planet.

The alarm system of the body isn't broken.

There's a reason we feel anxious when overstimulated.

Or unfocused when exhausted.

Or depressed when our dopamine is drained by the world's most addictive technologies.

It isn't because we're broken that we feel like crap when our health is declining.

It's because we're human.

When the term "mental health" originated the relationship between the mind and body was still a mystery.

Framing natural responses to exhaustion, malnutrition, or social isolation as "disorders" was only possible because we had no data on the natural response to declining health.

Today we do.

Caffeine impacts us each differently based on which version of the CYP1A2 gene we have. Rapid absorption means it passes through the body quickly. Slow absorption means it sticks around, elevates our heart rate, interferes with our sleep cycle and makes us more prone to anxiety.

That's not a disorder, it's the individuality of our physiology

Dopamine is the brain chemical responsible for motivation and drive. Digital stimulation desensitizes dopamine receptors. We can easily entertain ourselves into a depressive state.

That's not a disorder. It's a "cause and effect" relationship between our physiology and addictive technology.

Maintaining mental and physical health in the digital age requires skills, tools, education and support.

The foundation for health is a working understanding of our own physiology.

A natural response to an unnatural environment is never a disorder. It’s time to teach the next generation about their physiology, first.

🌎We’re training educators, coaches, and allied health professionals on May 2nd to teach physiology, first🧠🔥Early bird pricing is now open. DM to RSVP!

A brief history of the ADHD Industry....

* In the late 1800's a pediatrician named George Still studied 43 kids in a London hospital. He noticed some were bored out of their minds. He created the label "Moral Defect of Character Among Children" to describe them.

* In 1937 a pediatrician named Charles Bradley noticed that Benzedrine, an amphetamine, made kids sit still and focus. Because they were on speed...

* In the 1960's the label for kids who crave novelty and movement changed to "Hyperkinetic Reaction of Childhood." Yes, kids like to move.

* In the 1980's the name for kids who like to move their bodies, or get bored by tedious, futile tasks was changed to ADHD. How do you get these kids to sit still in school? Give them speed💊

* In 2007 the IPhone launched. This put social media platforms like Facebook and YouTube in the palms of our hands.

* Physical activity rates plummeted since gluing a television screen to our palms.

* 1-in-3 adults globally now don’t meet recommended physical activity standards.

* More than 80% of adolescents now fail to meet daily activity recommendations.

* In 2022 the Wall Street Journal reported that telehealth companies (including Cerebral and Done) promoted their services on TikTok by paying influencers to post about having ADHD and pointing viewers toward the companies.

The rise of ADHD influencers targeting children and parents, combined with a dystopian level of screen addiction and physical inactivity, and a school system designed for the Industrial Age, has created an epidemic of diagnoses and medication for natural responses to a society whose health has fallen off of a cliff.

The Solution?

We are training coaches and health professionals who won't sit back and watch a crisis in sedentary lifestyle and screen addicted become a pathway to drug addiction for a generation of kids.

We teach the skills of mental and physical health to students and families across the globe.

🧠🔥 Spring Certification Program begins May 2nd. DM for Early Bird Registration.

The time to stand up for the health of our kids is now.

Let's pay attention to the medication of a generation - before it's too late.

"When you want to help people, you tell them the truth. When you want to help yourself, you tell them what they want to hear.” ~ Thomas Sowell

Parents, the chances that you were taught the foundations of health is almost zero.

The chances that you were prepared for the impact of modern technology on our collective mental health?

Almost zero.

As you watch your teen struggle with the inevitable challenges of maintaining health in an increasingly sick society you have two choices:

1.) Be a radically empowering alternative to the desensitized, exhausted, emotionally numb, chronically stressed caricature of the parent dragging their teen to the pharmacy.

2.) Tell yourself that your child's natural response to the lack of health infrastructure you created in the household is a "mental disorder" and have them diagnosed with a laundry list of acronyms that serve as a pathway to amphetamine addiction.

A Physiology First Parent leads the health revolution from inside their home. We provide you with the practical skills to put the foundations of mental and physical health in place.

We have a new program beginning today to help you along every step of the way.

You'll learn:

Foundations of Breath
Foundations of Sleep
Foundations of Exercise
Foundations of Nutrition
Foundations of Brain Health

Most will pass. Too busy, too stressed, too out of control of their own lives to help their children take control of theirs.

This page isn't for them.

It's for the rebel parents who put the foundations of their families health first🧠🔥

Let this sink in..

When an adult client comes to our campus to improve their health and fitness they receive a more comprehensive health analysis than any child diagnosed with a "mental disorder" has received in the course of history.

💤 We assess their sleep quality and quantity to assure their brain can remove metabolic waste from the previous day and operate effectively.

🧬 We assess their genetic predispositions and build personalized, data-driven health optimization programs based on their goals.

🫁 We assess their breathing and help them improve it to better manage stress and anxiety.

💪🧠🌱 We assess their overall strength and conditioning to assure their body can deliver oxygen to their brain effectively while modulating mood regulating neurotransmitters.

🤝We assess whether their social needs are met and pair them with coaches and peers for support.

As millions of exhausted, sedentary, overstimulated, screen addicted kids are labeled, diagnosed, and drugged by practitioners who couldn't be bothered to assess their health before helping to destroy it we have a proposition...

What if the health and performance world got organized, stepped up to the plate, and put these professional drug peddlers out of business?

That's what we do at Physiology First.

Set a higher standard for community health.

Prepare kids and families to thrive in their mind and body.

Compete against the industries that keep our communities sick, and play to win.

We're training the world's best coaches and health professionals to build a new approach to community health.

Data driven, personalized, proactive health optimization for a new generation 📊💪🧠 If you own a gym or clinic send us a DM and learn how to become a Physiology First Affiliate.

The future of health assesses physiology, first.

And helps the next generation unlock their potential.

The term disorder will define our future.

The definition of the term is as follows: An illness or condition that disrupts normal physical or mental functions.

So what constitutes normal?

Feeling anxious when overstimulated is a normal response to overstimulation.

Feeling exhausted when not sleeping is a normal response to sleep deprivation.

Feeling anxious, depressed, and demoralized when you haven't moved your body in months is a normal response to a sedentary lifestyle.

Feeling like crap when you're sick "is" normal.

Feeling awesome when you're sick would constitute a disruption of normal mental and physical functions.

That would be a "disorder."

Nature rarely makes mistakes.

The uncomfortable signal to change your lifestyle or reduce your odds of passing along your genes (natures primary imperative) is uncomfortable for a reason.

The solution isn't to unplug the alarm. It's to listen to what it's saying.

Sitting for 7 hours a day while glued to a phone or monitor isn't normal.

Our body's response to the normalization of domestication is.

In a society where illness is normalized, health will become pathologized.

We're not letting that happen to a generation...

Physiology First is building a global movement to educate and empower youth and families across the globe.

The future of our communities depends on whether a healthy response to an unhealthy lifestyle is labeled a "disorder" or order.

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