You’ve been conditioned to think #ChronicDiseases are inevitable.
But this is just social conditioning created by decades of poor medical education.
7.5% of Americans had a chronic disease in 1930.
In 2023, 60%.

Can chronic diseases be cured?

But prevention is always far easier than a cure.
And the secret to prevention is maintaining your #MetabolicHealth. -

When you treat the root problem of chronic disease, you help your body restore its metabolic health — and potentially prevent/reverse progressive illness.
Multiple studies corroborate this.
Metabolically healthy people tend to live longer lives with fewer instances of disease. -
