Old world vs. New world
In the old world individuals had to trust third party intermediaries with their money
These intermediaries often fell prey to incentives that benefit them while harming individuals
Now, by running #Bitcoin, individuals can take responsibility for their money
In the old world we had to trust third party intermediaries with our health
These intermediaries often fell prey to incentives that benefit them while harming individuals
Now, by running health protocols, individuals can take responsibility for their health
The ultimate form of healthcare is taking care of ourselves. Open source health protocols give everyone access to correct information so they have an opportunity to achieve better health
Peer validated proof of work software that optimizes human biology
The health revolution is upon us. It’s built on open source behavioural software that empowers people to reclaim responsibility for their health

Core element #1 of the protocol: Low time preference
Adopting a low time preference means thinking long term
It means prioritizing long term health and resilience over short term suppression of symptoms
With a low time preference, we focus on inputs, trust the process and view pain as our guide on the journey
With a high time preference (short term thinking), we view pain as the energy, want immediate relief, and ignore long term consequences of our short term actions
With a high time preference we’re tempted to take a drug, an injection or a surgery to get immediate relief even if those very things make the problem worse long term
Restoring a healthy lower body that is strong, mobile, resilient and free of pain is a process, not an event. Lowering our time preference allows us to show up everyday, be patient and witness results over a lifetime
As Saifedean Ammous says, the hardness of the money we use is the control knob for our time preference. The harder the money, the lower the time preference
Best way to lower our time preference? Adopt the worlds hardest form of money - #Bitcoin

Better information = Better Decisions
Improving our health is the process of aligning our behaviours with our biology
We make decisions based on the information we have available
If we don’t have truthful, applicable information, we can’t make optimal choices
Achieving better health is the process of making better decisions
This protocol aspires to help individuals make better decisions for themselves and those they serve
The raw truth: deciding to wear unnatural shoes is a decision to develop unnatural foot health. Most people aren’t knowingly making that decision. We want to change that.

A decentralized health protocol designed to optimize the biology of human feet
We’re developing the antidote to centralized disease care that disempowers people
Our protocol aims to obsolete high time preference interventions that treat symptoms while ignoring the root cause of the issue
Don’t trust us. Run the software and validate it for yourself
Application of the protocol will vary widely between individuals but the core elements must be respected for effectiveness
PS: flat feet aren’t a thing and orthotics fuck up peoples feet

We’re building a radical health protocol for the lower body
The word radical comes from the Latin word “radicalis” which means “relating to a root”
The protocol is radical not because it’s extreme or novel, but because it’s a rational return to first principles. By honouring and abiding by biological axioms we know with certainty to be true, we enable a radical departure from the current status quo of complex treatments that violate first principles of biology
The protocol is radical in its simplicity. The value we provide with this software comes mostly from what we EXCLUDE than from what we include
By focusing on the few things that matter most, we empower people to eliminate the noise and confusion created by the fiat world of medicine and rehab
It’s not about what exercises you need to do, what orthotics you need, what injections you can get, what surgeries you can undergo. That’s mostly noise and almost always worse than useless in the long term
It’s about lowering your time preference, wearing shoes that don’t damage your feet and showing up for at least 10 minutes a day to upgrade your lower body health by doing simple, effective things to recalibrate your lower body back to default settings
The people who make money from making health complex will probably tell you this protocol is too simple to be effective
Run the code and validate it yourself
People who are tired of constantly being in pain and reliant on disease care for symptom relief will eventually be ready to take responsibility and run the code
Our job as a team of developers is to make sure the code is as simple and effective as possible and we’re honoured to do this work

80/20 rule applied to lower body health
80% of results come from doing the most important 20% of things consistently
If you’re giving your body natural inputs 80% of the time, you’ve earned the right to consume unnatural inputs 20% of the time without suffering major consequences
If you wear natural shoes 80% of the time, you can wear unnatural ones the other 20% and be fine
If you’re moving and on the ground 80% of your waking hours, you can sit in a chair for the other 20% and not get messed up
If 80% of days you show up for a focused session to upgrade your body, you can skip the other 20% and still be okay
Developing better health isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being consistent and doing the right things
Our lower body health protocol outlines the 20% of things that are most important so you can use your time wisely and restore a strong, mobile, painfree, resilient lower body

Hard truth:
People who diagnose issues and treat symptoms of disease/injury without addressing the root cause aren’t health professionals. They are disease professionals
Disease professionals are a fiat derivative. They aren’t trained to help people with their health. They aren’t acting in the best interests of those they treat, they are acting in their own interests
They get paid to offer high time preference interventions that myopically focus on pain without ever investigating the root cause or helping patients solve the problem
Disease professionals aren’t bad people. They are often great humans with good intentions who are simply stuck in a shitty fiat game of perverse incentives
Debt from their fiat degrees forces them to continue earning income doing the only thing they are trained to do: treat symptoms
Within the domain of musculoskeletal health (muscles, bones, joints), our protocol will create a new game
A game where individuals can run the software and cure their problems instead of continuing to simply treat the symptoms
Better yet, individuals can run the software to PREVENT all the issues that should never happen (99% of lower body msk issues are preventable)
For disease professionals who want to take a different path and do better, they can run the software on their own body to validate it and then integrate the protocol into their approach with patients
Rant over

Core element #2 of the protocol: Footwear
This one is actually incredibly simple: stop wearing shoes that damage your feet
Let’s start with 2 related and shocking facts:
1. 95% of shoe wearing people are unknowingly wearing shoes that fuck up their feet
2. 75% of shoe wearing people develop foot problems at some point in their lives
We define shoes that fuck up your feet as unnatural. Unnatural shoes are pointed, stiff, have an elevated heel, artificial support and a thick, cushioned heel. These shoes quite literally disable, deform and damage human feet. Stop wearing them and your feet immediately begin restoring themselves back to default, healthy settings
Spend time barefoot, and when you need to protect your feet, wear natural shoes
Natural shoes are foot shaped (widest at the toes), flexible, flat, have a thin sole and are fixed to your feet (aka not flip flops)
Wearing shoes that don’t mess up your feet is a lower body health cheat code
Pass it on

PSA
Don’t trust. Verify

Core elements:
1. Low time preference
2. Eliminate unnatural shoes
3. Show up for at least 10min/day
Respect the process
Wear better shoes
