self responsibility is the cure all. honestly

i hear so many whining about how they fell into traps of wonder supplements & fake health hacks promoted by some lifestyle influencers.

I ask them if they would just buy supplements from someone they just met on the streets and they get all confused.

shitty companies exist, greedy people still have a voice and the only person that can be held accountable for what you consume is yourself.

framing of big and small narratives is a problem and can be tricky to navigate, and as lucky as we are to live in a time of abundant information, theres also lots of bs floating around.

here’s a strategy:

1) verify the information/opinion you want to rely on for health choices specifically

2) gut check yourself: do I want to believe this because it would serve me well (chances are algorithms know this based on the information you consumed before: thus pushing affirmative content)

3) remember that the basics can’t be replaced by a magic pill

4) DON’T OUTSOURCE YOUR HEALTH TO ANYONE ELSE

glad to be on a platform that is not purely a market place but rather a open mic night

god bless nostr
