According to the “Experts” You Are Doing Everything Wrong

You are eating the wrong foods.

Not enough protein. Too much protein. Wrong kind of protein. You should be carnivore. You should be plant based. You should be Mediterranean. You should be intermittent fasting but not that way, this way. You should never skip breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Actually breakfast is killing you. Stop eating breakfast.

You are exercising wrong too.

Not enough cardio. Too much cardio. Cardio kills muscle. You need more strength training. Actually you need less strength training and more mobility work. You should be doing yoga but not that kind of yoga. Walking does not count. Walking is the only thing that counts. You need to lift heavy. Heavy lifting will destroy your joints.

Your sleep schedule is wrong. Your stress management is wrong. Your supplements are wrong. Your morning routine is wrong. And whatever you thought you had figured out last year has been definitively overturned by a new study that the expert with four hundred thousand followers posted about this morning.

According to the wellness industry and everyone performing expertise inside it you have never once done anything right. And the solution to your wrongness is always the same. Buy the program. Follow the protocol. Join the community. Do it their way.

Here is what nineteen years of actually doing the work has taught me.

They are all wrong about you. Because not one of them has ever met you.

What Dave and Peggy actually found when they stopped listening to the experts and started listening to their own bodies — and how to find what works for yours without needing anyone’s approval — is what members read next. This is exactly the kind of conversation your membership unlocks every Sunday. If you are not yet a member, today is a good day to change that.
