PSA to doctors, physical therapists, chiropractors and athletic trainers: If you don’t educate your patients/clients about the dangers of unnatural shoes or excessive chair sitting, you aren’t being effective A personal trainer with no “official” credentials who runs Apollo and educates their clients about protocol fundamentals will be more effective at achieving long term health outcomes than disease care professionals with degrees 3 fundamental principles applied consistently >> disease care interventions Social incentives will wipe out ineffective disease care providers The age of centralized disease care is ending The age of decentralized health care is blossoming Free open source health protocols built on #Bitcoin will empower a health revolution 🙌🏽 [macaw_840340]

Efficiency: doing things right Effectiveness: doing the right things Disease care professionals are very efficient at treating pain (the wrong thing) They will be replaced by efficient health professionals who help people develop better health (the right thing) Effectiveness >> efficiency Many people are trying to develop a healthy body while also unknowingly doing behaviours that impair health Effectiveness greatly improves when people reduce harmful behaviours [peccary_839977]

Mission: develop a lower extremity health protocol that distinguishes the essential few behaviours from the trivial many so individuals can focus on what matters most Achieving a healthy lower body is simple: 1. Lower your time preference by viewing pain as an important signal and saving in hard money 2. Reduce exposure to unnatural footwear and chair sitting 3. Increase exposure to walking, the squat position, and time on the ground That’s it Don’t trust us. Validate it yourself [aracari_839813]

First, do no harm Simple but important principle: When seeking to correct a problem, it’s wise to begin by understanding and eliminating the cause [quetzal_839402]

PSA In order to call yourself a health professional you are expected to: 1) be healthy 2) keep updated on best practices 3) think for yourself That’s the bar [trogon_839345]

Principle #1 of Apollo: Lower your time preference — What does that mean? It means thinking long term and prioritizing the future over the present It means viewing pain as an essential signal that nudges you towards making changes that support better health instead of an enemy to be suppressed or eliminated It means learning how your body works so you can trim harmful behaviours from your life and add healthy behaviours It means aspiring to do 1% better everyday and trusting the process The best way to lower your time preference? Save your time in hard money #Bitcoin is the hardest money and therefore has the highest capacity to lower our time preference [macaw_839337]

The long term unintended consequences of wearing a supportive, rigid orthotic are brutal Stiff feet Weak feet Fragile feet Crazy that people still cling to bullshit interventions that make no sense [trogon_839247]

Give someone a fish and they eat for a day Teach someone to fish and they eat for a lifetime Give someone relief from pain and they feel better for a day Teach someone first principles of biology and they feel better for a lifetime Apollo is a peer validated lower extremity health protocol Run better software = have better health Pass it on [aracari_839242]

Smoking cigarettes was normalized and even prescribed by doctors in the 1950s That same behaviour is now widely acknowledged as harmful to human health, and prescribing cigarettes would be malpractice and reputational suicide Today, wearing unnatural footwear and spending most of our waking hours sitting in chairs has been normalized Apollo aims to improve awareness of fundamental principles that govern human biology to help individuals and professionals improve lower body health and prevent injury If we view behaviours as software, this is free open source health software for human hardware Humans who wish to reclaim responsibility for their health can run this software to protect and optimize their lower body hardware Don’t trust us. Run the software and experience it yourself [trogon_839087]

Disease care is high time preference Pain is viewed as an enemy to be eliminated at all costs and interventions create massively harmful negative long term consequences Healthcare is low time preference Pain is acknowledged as beneficial feedback to orient changes that must be made. Weathering short term discomfort and listening to signals is the cost of achieving long term health The era of decentralized healthcare has arrived and happens at the individual level One by one, individuals opt out of trusting disease care authorities and reclaim responsibility for their well being Apollo is free open source health software for the lower extremity Simple principles, powerful results Don’t trust us. Run the software and validate it yourself [macaw_838903]

By distilling lower extremity health into the few exceptionally valuable behaviours, help we individuals focus their time on the few essential things that offer the greatest benefit Because clarity facilitates action and things only change when action is taken When it comes to health, almost everything on the internet is noise It’s hard to know what to believe and who to trust With Apollo we deliberately distinguish the vital few from the trivial many by focusing on first principles Developing better (lower extremity) health is the process of continually lowering time preference, subtracting unnatural behaviours and adding natural behaviours Focus your energy, make changes, be patient and trust the process [toucan_838750]

The price of health is responsibility When facing health problems we have 2 options -> Choice 1: Forfeit responsibility and trust a disease care system that makes money by treating symptoms without ever addressing the root cause -> Choice 2: Accept responsibility and make changes in your life that prevent and cure health problems by eliminating the root causes We build free open source health software for the lower extremity so that individuals who are ready to take responsibility have the information they need to make progress [toucan_838648]

When it comes to health, almost everything on the internet is noise It can be difficult to know what to believe and who to trust To improve lower extremity health, there are infinite things we CAN do, but there are only few things we MUST do These essential behaviours have the largest impact and are required for effectiveness With Apollo we deliberately distinguish the vital few from the trivial many by focusing on first principles We keep it simple because health is simple and simple enables clarity that facilitates action [toucan_838536]

Wandering thoughts Pain is the ultimate catalyst for change Disease care will induce more pain More pain will create a bigger readiness to accept responsibility Only individuals who save in hard money will have time to take care of themselves Fiat is bad for human health Bitcoin is gradually lowering the time preference of every individual who adopts it Bitcoin is literally making us healthier [peccary 838496]

If effective, Apollo can dematerialize lower extremity medical services by 95% Bunion surgeries Achilles surgeries Custom orthotics Conventional podiatry Knee replacements 95% of it disappears because when people run natural software, their hardware doesn’t break down prematurely In the same way that we used to buy a calculator and now it’s a free app on every smartphone, we used to pay disease care professionals lots of money to treat lower body symptoms and now we just apply free open source behaviour protocols to take care of ourselves The health revolution happens at the individual level [trogon_838487]

Mission: Develop a simple and effective lower extremity health protocol that allows individuals to prevent and resolve injury without relying on disease care professionals who are trained to treat symptoms without addressing root causes. Protocol principles: 1) Lower time preference by viewing pain as feedback and adopting hard money 2) Reduce exposure to unnatural inputs (shoes & chairs) 3) Increase exposure to natural inputs (walking & ground) Medical intervention to treat lower extremity injury is complex Lower extremity health is simple Free open source health software is the future Individuals ready accept responsibility for their health can opt out of centralized disease care by applying open source proof of work protocols in their lives Welcome to the age of decentralized healthcare [macaw_838467]

PSA to lower extremity disease care providers: Navigating the transition from disease care to healthcare is simple Step 1: Run Apollo software on your own hardware to validate it Step 2: Help others apply the software in their lives That’s it Healthcare is being built on #Bitcoin & #nostr @Jeff Booth @preston @Michael Saylor @CrowdHealth @binmucker [macaw_838341]

Health is proof of work Your state of health at any given time is proof of the work you have done to 1) understand how to care for your biology 2) run software that supports health Run better software = develop better health Be more human = develop better health Finance is complex Bitcoin is simple Medicine is complex Health is simple Apollo is FOSS for human hardware Truth by consensus Your body is your node [macaw_838339]

The paradigm shift: From centralized disease care to decentralized healthcare From trusting authorities with our health to reclaiming responsibility for taking care of ourselves From proof of degree to proof of health From reactive to preventative From expensive, ineffective treatments to free open source effective health protocols Hard money will usher in an era of low time preference, responsibility and Health 🙌🏽 [macaw_838333]
