Reclaiming Your Most Valuable Asset
What if everything you believed about "normal" health was actually keeping you sick? Our society has normalized chronic exhaustion, brain fog, anxiety, and using alcohol to wind down - all while calling it "healthy." These normalized behaviors are slowly killing us. Someone dies every 33 seconds from cardiovascular disease, 69% of adults are overweight or obese, and depression rates have increased 50% since 1990. Even more alarming, these trends are accelerating, with millennials experiencing chronic conditions earlier than previous generations. My own health crisis exemplifies this dangerous normalization. Despite appearing healthy externally while working as an NHL performance coach, I collapsed during training and was diagnosed with four precancerous polyps. "If we had waited any longer, I am not sure you would have made it to your 35th birthday," my doctor warned. Years of chronic stress, poor sleep, and spiritual disconnection had nearly killed me - the same "normal" lifestyle many are living. Your body communicates constantly, yet most people remain functionally illiterate in this vital language. Like being stranded in a foreign country without understanding emergency alerts, we often feel overwhelmed when we can't interpret our body's urgent messages. All forms of stress - mental, physical, spiritual, or emotional - accumulate in the same metaphorical "stress cup." The Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale quantifies this, showing when your total exceeds 300 points, there's a 79% correlation with major health breakdown within two years. Many individuals exist in "fake health" - technically disease-free but burdened with chronic symptoms. This dangerous cycle progresses clearly: chronic overreaching leads to chronic stress, triggering chronic inflammation, manifesting as chronic symptoms, ultimately resulting in chronic illness - now the leading cause of death for 71% of Americans. The scientific key lies in heart rate variability (HRV) - the microscopic variations between successive heartbeats. High HRV indicates robust stress adaptation and healthy parasympathetic nervous system function, while low HRV reveals poor adaptation and sympathetic nervous system dominance.
