Smoking cigarettes was normalized and even prescribed by doctors in the 1950s That same behaviour is now widely acknowledged as harmful to human health, and prescribing cigarettes would be malpractice and reputational suicide Today, wearing unnatural footwear and spending most of our waking hours sitting in chairs has been normalized Apollo aims to improve awareness of fundamental principles that govern human biology to help individuals and professionals improve lower body health and prevent injury If we view behaviours as software, this is free open source health software for human hardware Humans who wish to reclaim responsibility for their health can run this software to protect and optimize their lower body hardware Don’t trust us. Run the software and experience it yourself [trogon_839087]
Disease care is high time preference Pain is viewed as an enemy to be eliminated at all costs and interventions create massively harmful negative long term consequences Healthcare is low time preference Pain is acknowledged as beneficial feedback to orient changes that must be made. Weathering short term discomfort and listening to signals is the cost of achieving long term health The era of decentralized healthcare has arrived and happens at the individual level One by one, individuals opt out of trusting disease care authorities and reclaim responsibility for their well being Apollo is free open source health software for the lower extremity Simple principles, powerful results Don’t trust us. Run the software and validate it yourself [macaw_838903]
By distilling lower extremity health into the few exceptionally valuable behaviours, help we individuals focus their time on the few essential things that offer the greatest benefit Because clarity facilitates action and things only change when action is taken When it comes to health, almost everything on the internet is noise It’s hard to know what to believe and who to trust With Apollo we deliberately distinguish the vital few from the trivial many by focusing on first principles Developing better (lower extremity) health is the process of continually lowering time preference, subtracting unnatural behaviours and adding natural behaviours Focus your energy, make changes, be patient and trust the process [toucan_838750]
The price of health is responsibility When facing health problems we have 2 options -> Choice 1: Forfeit responsibility and trust a disease care system that makes money by treating symptoms without ever addressing the root cause -> Choice 2: Accept responsibility and make changes in your life that prevent and cure health problems by eliminating the root causes We build free open source health software for the lower extremity so that individuals who are ready to take responsibility have the information they need to make progress [toucan_838648]
When it comes to health, almost everything on the internet is noise It can be difficult to know what to believe and who to trust To improve lower extremity health, there are infinite things we CAN do, but there are only few things we MUST do These essential behaviours have the largest impact and are required for effectiveness With Apollo we deliberately distinguish the vital few from the trivial many by focusing on first principles We keep it simple because health is simple and simple enables clarity that facilitates action [toucan_838536]
Wandering thoughts Pain is the ultimate catalyst for change Disease care will induce more pain More pain will create a bigger readiness to accept responsibility Only individuals who save in hard money will have time to take care of themselves Fiat is bad for human health Bitcoin is gradually lowering the time preference of every individual who adopts it Bitcoin is literally making us healthier [peccary 838496]
If effective, Apollo can dematerialize lower extremity medical services by 95% Bunion surgeries Achilles surgeries Custom orthotics Conventional podiatry Knee replacements 95% of it disappears because when people run natural software, their hardware doesn’t break down prematurely In the same way that we used to buy a calculator and now it’s a free app on every smartphone, we used to pay disease care professionals lots of money to treat lower body symptoms and now we just apply free open source behaviour protocols to take care of ourselves The health revolution happens at the individual level [trogon_838487]
