The Real Cause of Disease, and why Pills are not the Answer
We live in a world that constantly tries to convince us that we are broken, and that the solution is somewhere “out there” in the form of a pill, surgery, or newly patented formula. But when you start to step outside of that programming and actually observe the way life operates… it becomes very obvious:
Nature already figured this out.
Pharmaceutical companies aren’t inventing new miracles. They’re copying them. They’re pulling compounds from plants, isolating them, modifying them just enough so they can be patented, and then repackaging them as “solutions.” Meanwhile, the actual source of healing is still growing in the ground, right in front of us. It has been for thousands of years.
Think about it…
Every culture throughout history has had herbalism. Every single one. They didn’t wait for clinical trials or insurance coverage. They studied the body, observed nature, and found what brings the system back into alignment. And when something went wrong in the body, they didn’t point to the “symptom” as the problem… They traced it back to the root.
Which is exactly what most people don’t do anymore.
You get a headache → you take a pill.
You feel exhausted → you caffeinate.
You feel pain → you numb it.
All you’re doing is silencing the messenger.
If you really trace it back, the “disease” was never the problem. The problem started way before. It was the late nights. The blue light. The fast food. The chronic sitting. The lack of breath. The anxious thoughts you never expressed. The fact that your nervous system hasn’t relaxed even one time today. That’s the cause.
The pain is just the emergency alarm.
And it’s crazy, because we will literally spend all day disconnected from ourselves: waking up tired, sitting in a box, staring at a screen, barely moving, barely breathing; and then we’ll wonder why something in the system finally “broke.”
It didn’t break.
It tried to save you.
The body loves you so much that it’s screaming:
“Please change something. Please remember how you’re designed.”
And this is the beautiful thing about stepping into a holistic, self-responsible approach to health…
You start to realize that healing isn’t something you buy.
It’s something you live.
Eat the foods nature created.
Move your body the way nature intended.
Regulate your emotions instead of storing them in your organs.
Spend time in sunlight.
Touch the ground with your bare feet.
Laugh. Breathe. Be human.
When you do that… the body does what it’s been designed to do from day one: regenerate, adapt, and expand.
Final thought
This is exactly why we can’t keep ignoring how we live. The pharmaceutical industry is doing over $1.5 trillion a year in revenue, not because people are getting healthier, but because we’re getting sicker and more disconnected from ourselves. In the U.S. alone, nearly 7 out of 10 adults take at least one prescription drug, and for many people that number is three, four, even five at the same time.
That’s not healthcare, that’s maintenance of dysfunction.
So yes, we need to pay attention to our diet. Not as a trend or a quick fix, but as the very foundation of our biology. If you’re not sure where to begin, start with the ULT Lifestyle simple, powerful, and built on real food that aligns your body back to nature.
And for physical movement, breathwork, emotional regulation, mindset, and meditation, I built SelfExpansion.app so people have an actual structure for reconnecting with themselves. In the app, you will find practices that rewire you back into the human you were designed to be.
Because if we don’t take responsibility for our lifestyle… someone else will gladly “manage” it for us, and they’ll send you a bill every 30 days.
Take care.
