In this episode, we push back on the idea that "you have to be rich to be healthy," arguing that the biggest health breakthroughs usually come from subtracting what's harming you rather than piling on more supplements, tests, and protocols. We explain how both conventional and "functional" approaches can get expensive when they focus on treating symptoms instead of removing the everyday stressors that devitalize the body, using Dr. James Chestnut's "backpack" analogy: aging is a slow leak, but modern life throws "rocks" (poor sleep, ultra-processed foods, toxins, constant stress, fear, and more) into the backpack that make you sink faster. The practical takeaway is simple and accessible: pick one rock to remove this week, like sugar, late-night scrolling, or toxic inputs, so your nervous system can rebalance and your body can do what it's designed to do: heal.
