Most people in the fitness world are used to moving with friction. They think that grind is normal, but it is really just the result of poor mechanical leverage. Over time the body starts pumping out hormones to mask the pain from that friction. And when people chase that feeling again and again, it turns into an exercise addiction built on dysfunction, not health. FP training does the opposite. FP practitioners confront the friction, find its source, and train in a way that actually matches human biology. As you improve the FP First 4, you reduce the internal drag in your system and move with better mechanical leverage. Less friction. Less pain. More efficiency. That is what makes movement sustainable.
Getting out into nature isn’t optional. We are surrounded daily by high-voltage AC fields, 5G, WiFi, blue light, noise pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, and who knows how many other stressors we don’t even fully understand. A short sunrise routine or ten minutes of grounding doesn’t cut through that. Modern life is like swimming inside interference, and we barely get a moment to breathe. It takes effort to set yourself up in nature. I got myself a van and made it happen little by little. Man, the payoff is wild. Your brain and body operate on direct current, yet they’re constantly bombarded by artificial AC frequencies that distort us. You feel it whether you’re conscious of it or not. So many problems people carry aren’t just psychological — they’re environmental. Until we engineer civilization to be biocompatible, the only viable solution is time away. Lord knows these people in Silicon Valley have no interest in that. Too busy reading stupid sci-fi novels to think practically about how we organize our environment so it doesn’t completely toxify us. Sorry for that rant, but I had to say it. Anyway… One day a week in real nature will do more than you can imagine. Fixing mechanics reduces the damage better than anything, but stepping out of the interference is what amplifies regeneration substantially. Make space for it. Treat it like survival. Get outside the interference and recalibrate. Do it now, and aim to be away from the flood as you progress in life.
I’ve been trying to get my parents on my wavelength regarding health for a long time now. My mom didn’t understand why I moved to CR, but I think she’s starting to get it now. Nature, Community, Family, Self🙏
Passive hanging gets praised as a cure all, but it only trains one aspect of spinal adaptability: straight line decompression. The issue is that it overstretches the shoulder ligaments and completely misses the dynamic forces your spine deals with in real life. Your spine is not built for just one direction of movement. It needs rotation, lateral tension, and compressive forces to stay strong and adaptable. That does not come from hanging limp. It comes from active, biomechanically sound movement. When you train the patterns humans evolved for such as standing, walking, running, and throwing, your spine becomes resilient without hypermobilizing your joints or creating instability. Real adaptability comes from integration, not passive stretching.

Most people don't realize their immune system is heavily influenced by their posture. Your lymphatic system runs through your entire myofascial network. So if your muscles are shut off, overly tight, or your fascia is restricted, that lymph can't move. When lymph flow slows down, waste builds up. And when your body can't clear waste, you get sick easier. Simple as that. This is why the FP First 4 matters so much. It engages your whole myofascial system, opens up those restrictions, and gets your lymph moving the way it's supposed to. Fix your posture → improve lymph flow → support your immune function. Your body isn't meant to be stagnant.
