Legacy foot “experts” are wrong Disease care degrees are mostly worthless fiat scams Today’s medical treatments and conventional rehab of lower body injuries is useless at best, harmful at worst Apollo is a quest to inform individuals so they can protect themselves from the dangers of disease care A protocol that helps people focus on what matters and take care of themselves An open source project that highlights signal, trims the noise and calls bullshit on ineffective disease care interventions that benefit providers at the expense of confusing and disempowering patients The future of health is built on truthful, applicable, simple protocols and personal responsibility [trogon_836993]
❌ High time preference thinking: Pain is the enemy It must be eliminated ✅ Low time preference thinking: Pain is the feedback It must be learned from
It’s highly regarded to pretend that a foot issue can be solved without addressing hips Highly regarded [trogon_836842]
33 reasons to not wear a stiff shoe: Each joint in your foot Natural inputs = natural outputs Unnatural inputs = unnatural outputs Wear better shoes = have better foot health Don’t trust us Run the software and validate it yourself [trogon_836842]
Inputs & Outputs Think of your body as a complex biological computer loaded with default software that has been running successfully for thousands of years This magical computer receives an input, runs it through the biological algorithm and creates a very predictable output The primary biological algorithm our bodies run is the SAID principle Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demand This algorithm governs how our bodies change and adapt over time based on how we use them so we can be optimally efficient Here’s the problem: humans today are unintentionally exposing their bodies to inputs that cause pain, injury and disease We wear footwear that looks fashionable but literally deforms, disables and damages our feet We sit in chairs all day because it’s normal but over time, creates adaptations that lead to back pain, knee pain and ankle problems Apollo is a simple protocol that helps people eliminate shitty inputs like unnatural shoes and excessive time in chairs so their bodies have a chance to produce better outputs Health is the output of natural inputs Going barefoot is a natural input Wearing natural shoes that protect your feet without damaging them allows your feet to be exposed to natural inputs when you move Sitting on the ground, kneeling or squatting are natural inputs Apollo is health software for human hardware Don’t trust us. Run the software and validate it yourself Feeling better is much simpler than you think and depends more on eliminating harmful inputs than adding a bunch of new stuff [quetzal_836807]
The training stack Just like websites and apps are build on the foundational internet protocol called TCP/IP, we believe all physical training should be built on a foundational health protocol called Apollo Because a strong, resilient lower body creates a sound foundation for whole body health By adopting a low time preference, ditching shoes that damage your feet and adopting a daily upgrade session to develop a resilient lower body, you prepare your hardware to perform at its best Apollo doesn’t compete with GPP or sports specific training It transcends the specific It’s the soil from which you can develop a body that is durable and performs well Don’t trust us Run the software and validate it yourself [macaw_836700] image
