It is the SAD, doctor ("Standard American Diet"). The SAD and high-pressure, low-paying jobs. Long commute times. 50 years of constant work followed by a few years of medicated misery, then death from the top 6 causes (COVID excluded). I have almost 3700 followers on this service and what I write is shown to .001% of them.
I'm also 61 years old and in perfect health and my profile pic is just taken in low lighting, not altered by "Facetune" or Photoshop. I have been writing almost exclusively about how the Western diet and reductionist medical systems have caused this. Deaths of despair? SUGAR is as addictive as many so called "addictive" drugs (both Pharma and illicit) - and it's in every processed food. EVERY ONE OF THEM.
I work with MDs who know far less than I do about nutrition, and have been in meetings with Pharma "experts" who scoff at integrative medicine, and firmly believe that any new small molecule med will cure obesity any day now. Or they want to sell Wegovy at high prices - destroying what little metabolic health the unfortunate recipients of the prescription have.
What I just wrote this a.m. should neither be controversial - nor suppressed - but it is both since in reality we live in Ancient Rome with technology, not an "advanced nation."
