Excellent article, sir. Those dealing with illnesses of self/family know well the cost of lost opportunity.

Did you miss one important thing? Our homes are a minefield: chemicals, VOC, mold.

This started out interesting then went off the rails into an ad for paleo diet nonsense.

> For a wild animal, the default state is health. In normal times, wild animals are an appropriate weight. In the wild, animals don’t become obese. They don’t become depressed or suicidal. They don’t exhibit behavioral disorders. Animals inhabiting their evolved, ancestral environment are healthy — by default.

Excluding the ones that are rapidly killed I guess

I'm not saying the article is worthless, but it's got a stench of "businessman's succcess qualifies him as an expert on everything"

And I'm on board with "you are what you eat"

I'm curious about carbs/sugar though. My mental state plummets if I eat too much. Or do I eat carbs because my mental state has already plummeted, as they're easy and rewarding...? And closer? (I have a convenience store opposite my house)
