The alarm system of the body isn't broken.

There's a reason we feel anxious when overstimulated.

Or unfocused when exhausted.

Or depressed when our dopamine is drained by the world's most addictive technologies.

It isn't because we're broken that we feel like crap when our health is declining.

It's because we're human.

When the term "mental health" originated the relationship between the mind and body was still a mystery.

Framing natural responses to exhaustion, malnutrition, or social isolation as "disorders" was only possible because we had no data on the natural response to declining health.

Today we do.

Caffeine impacts us each differently based on which version of the CYP1A2 gene we have. Rapid absorption means it passes through the body quickly. Slow absorption means it sticks around, elevates our heart rate, interferes with our sleep cycle and makes us more prone to anxiety.

That's not a disorder, it's the individuality of our physiology

Dopamine is the brain chemical responsible for motivation and drive. Digital stimulation desensitizes dopamine receptors. We can easily entertain ourselves into a depressive state.

That's not a disorder. It's a "cause and effect" relationship between our physiology and addictive technology.

Maintaining mental and physical health in the digital age requires skills, tools, education and support.

The foundation for health is a working understanding of our own physiology.

A natural response to an unnatural environment is never a disorder. It’s time to teach the next generation about their physiology, first.

🌎We’re training educators, coaches, and allied health professionals on January 10th to teach physiology, first.

A story...

Years ago we started offering a free family health education class in our community.

Mental fitness skills integrated into a fun, interactive, and educational training experience.

We followed the class with a community sauna and cold plunge session.

Keep in mind, this class was free and open to the entire community...

As you might imagine, 99% of parents passed by this offering, only to scurry off to the familiar routine of self-imposed busyness that is destroying the mental health of a generation.

Like chickens chasing one another in a circle they raced to shopping malls, fast food restaurants, and the growing industry of youth sports that keeps everyone too stressed and busy to ever prepare for the sport of LIFE.

With smartphones glued to their palms the child scrolls on TikTok in the back seat, while the mother nervously books a therapy appointment for everyone, only to cancel at the last minute due to the busyness which has become a badge of honor.

Meanwhile, parents and kids left our Saturday morning classes cool as cucumbers 🥒😎

They'd learned the science of stress management, met their physical activity needs, and build camaraderie and community, within the family, and beyond.

When I say 1% of parents show up for their child's mental health, it isn't an insult.

It's an observation that continues to confirm itself.

Busyness is a disease. Let's not pass it on to the next generation.

Health is hard. Health takes work. Work takes knowledge. The parent of the future learns about their physiology, first.

🌎This January we are bringing together the 1% of parents who are ready to stand up for their children's mental and physical health. The Code of Potential is the ultimate health education program for parents🧬 DM to RSVP and join the movement🧠🔥

What is a health revolution?

It isn't a bloody uprising to demand that someone else takes care of our health. That's just another sad demand to be more efficiently domesticated.

A revolution is simply the replacement of the current elites.

The modern health hierarchy has placed a burned out, exhausted, over-schooled but undereducated avatar at the top of the totem pole.

The unhealthy health practitioner whose knowledge stems from textbooks written in the the Dark Ages of medicine.

When close to 50% of the population is obese, depression and anxiety rates are skyrocketing, and exhaustion is a cultural badge of honor, there are two choices:

Revolt or die.

Trust personal health data, beware of health dogma.

Assess, don't guess.

Fire the guru, become an expert in the science of yourself.

Invite outside expertise, but don't outsource your health.

The health revolution begins within.

Autonomy. Education. Action.

We are at the dawn of a health revolution. A world where health care is something you do, every single day.

The future belongs to those who understand their physiology and evolve on purpose.

Parents- the health revolution begins at home.

Physiology First is organizing parents in 2026.

Science minded, health passionate, advocates fighting for the health of their children.

🧬 The Code of Potential begins on January 3rd. Join parents from across the globe and be part of the most comprehensive health education program for parents on the planet. DM to RSVP!

A quick biology lesson....

A child who metabolizes dopamine (the brain chemical responsible for motivation and movement) quickly will want to move.

Not a disorder.

Just physiology.

The differences in dopamine metabolism are genetic🧬

Put 30 kids in a sedentary classroom designed for another century, and statistically, more than one quarter will be signaled out due to their genetic differences and diagnosed with a "hyperactivity" or "learning disorder."

We're built to move, some of us more than others.

A culture that's normalized sitting for 7 hours per day doesn't change that.

You don't medicate the child to conform to a culture of illness...

You stand up to a system that makes movement a mental health disorder.

From the 4x6 inch attention hacking machines glued to our palms, to a food system completely unrecognizable to our grandparents, to a culture that's made busyness a badge of honor, kids are struggling at intersection of our collective domestication.

The alternative to a generation of kids growing up drugged, dopamine depleted, and disillusioned with their own potential?

Motivated and inspired leaders armed with the skills and tools to thrive in the 21st century.

🌎On January 3rd we are bringing together parents from across the world who believe fiercely in the potential of their child.

We will teach the latest science of health, with an emphasis on the implications of the DNA revolution. The notion of "disorder" disappears when you understand your child's physiology.

This is not for the parent who's become a bystander to their child's declining health.

It's for proactive, science minded parents who want to unlock their child's Code of Potential. (Space is limited. DM to RSVP today.)

DNA differences are not disorders.

They are the essence of our individuality.

In the age of artificial intelligence being a creative, authentic, individual has never been more valuable.

The parents of the future are learning about their child's physiology, first.

Ever heard of a play called Cats? How about Phantom of the Opera? 🎭

They were choreographed by the legendary dancer Gillian Lynne.

In the 1930's teachers wanted to medicate the desire to move out of young Gillian.

She'd fidget in her seat, tap her feet, and gaze out the window.

Her mind was on movement.

Despite every attempt to "fix" Gillian through punishment, the genius of the child emerged, undeterred.

This was due to the courage of her mother who resisted the pressure from the school, and introduced Gillian to dance.

Gillian's restless energy transformed into a blaze of raw talent.

She grew up to be a legendary dancer and choreographer.

At age 92 Queen Elizabeth II renamed the New London Theatre after her.

Parents-your child's genius may be inconvenient to the institutions built for another century, and an economy that no longer exists.

But the suppression of that genius is a theft of the highest order. It robs them of their only shot at expressing their genius.

On January 3rd we are bringing together parents from across the globe interested in learning the science of human potential.

The Code of Potential is a practical, science based toolkit to help your child thrive in the digital age 🧬

DM to RSVP and join parents throughout history who stood up for their children when the school told them to sit down and pull the plug on their potential.

The health revolution begins at home in 2026.

It's time to help the next generation UNLEASH their potential by teaching them about their physiology, first🧠🔥

In 2026 we are organizing a global movement of parents...

Parents who are fed up with the lie that their kids are broken for not fitting into a dysfunctional system

Parents who reject the story of self limitation....

Parents who want to learn the science of human potential🧠🔥

The Code of Potential will be the most comprehensive health education program for parents on the planet🧬

Beyond education it will be a movement to build a new system that encourages the innate potential of every child.

We're looking for ten parents to kick off the revolution in 2026...

👉🏽DM to join our inaugural cohort on January 3rd.

We'll cover:

Brain health🧠💪
Sleep science💤
Nutrition 🥗
Exercise science🏋🏽‍♀️
Breaking the grip of addictive technology📲
The future of personalized health 🧬

When you understand your child's physiology you help them unlock the gates of their own potential.

The future belongs to the families who understand physiology, first.

The problem with self-limiting labels becoming comfort blankets for adults? They become hand me downs for a generation…

The language of health is important, as the relationship between the mind and body is bidirectional.

An industry of pathology developed in the Industrial Age.

Natural responses of the body got rebranded as “disorder” while the mass production of pills fueled the emerging industry of pharmacology.

The language of pathology and self-limitation is theunfortunate inheritance of teens who have no education or training in operating their own physiology.

Breaking the chains of self-limitation begins by becoming fluent in our own physiology🧠🔥

At our Physiology First campuses we use a combination of breathing and barefoot training to enhance body awareness👣

We use sauna and cold plunge to teach nervous system navigation🧊🔥

We help teens and adults meet and exceed the physical activity requirements through strength training that educates and empowers🏋🏽‍♀️

We teach them how to maintain brain health in the digital age🧠📲

More important than the modalities is the mentorship.

The language of self-limitation isn’t practiced at our campuses because the adults are leaders, not followers of the “you’re broken, but I can fix you” gurus on the ‘Gram.

The skill of the future is learning to navigate our internal state in a rapidly evolving environment.

It’s time to introduce the next generation to the power of their physiology, first.

Thanks to for an inspired conversation🎙️🔥We touched on problems, and focused on solutions.

📲 How do you get kids off screens? Give them something cooler to do. Our team members across the globe are holding running clubs, student and family workouts, and health education events in their communities in 2026.

I shared my thoughts on why the "just take away their phones!" movement is lazy and misguided.

Take away the screens and replace them with NOTHING and kids will go back to getting stoned behind the local gas station like we used to when we were teens without phones...

Followers tear things down.

Leaders build new solutions.

🧠🔥 How do you bring health education to teens when the schools deprioritize their mental and physical health and the sport world cares more about irrelevant performance metrics than knowledge, life skills, and health autonomy?

You build competitive businesses that kick open the doors to health for a generation.

🤖 What do you teach students in the age of AI? How to manifest the essence of their individuality and stay human, together.

As the issue of youth mental health becomes more critical than ever, the engagement of adults is at an all time low.

They're deeper in the matrix than ever, at a time when kids need health mentors OFFLINE and in communities.

The revolution in health education isn't on Instagram. It's in our backyards👊🏽🔥

It's time to teach the next generation about their physiology, first!

A smoke alarm isn’t dysfunctional for ringing if there’s actually a fire🔥 The survival prompts from 200,000 years of evolution aren’t a “disorder” for not dissipating upon our entering a period of unprecedented health decline…

Less than 12% of Americans are metabolically healthy.

Less than 1/4 of children meet the minimum physical activity guidelines.

72% of high school students get insufficient sleep according to the CDC.

The “disorder” would be a human body not responding to obvious survival threats through prompts for behavior change….that’s the beauty of how our physiology works.

Hunger isn’t a punishment-it’s a prompt to eat.

Feeling tired isn’t a punishment-it’s a prompt to sleep.

Feeling anxious isn’t a punishment-it’s a prompt to reestablish physiological resonance.

Resonance is achieved when the survival needs of the body are met.

Sleep, exercise, sunlight, hydration, nutrition-these are the biological bills we inherit when inhabiting a physical body.

We pay the bills on our own biology through healthy behaviors. We have to know what those behaviors “are” in order to engage in them..

The vast majority of our youth are not provided the education or infrastructure to meet their most basic physiological needs.

This doesn’t mean they are “disordered.”

It’s means they are dispossessed of a necessary 21st century toolkit for mental and physical health which we can easily provide by teaching physiology, first.

As long as we conflate the natural response of the human body to an increasingly unnatural environment as a “psychiatric disorder”we rob a generation of their potential while railroading them into a pharmacologically fueled (and completely avoidable) addiction crisis.

The alternative is empowering, inspiring, and enabling optimal health by teaching youth about their physiology🧠📚🔥

It’s not time to point fingers, it’s time to lift them.

If schools aren’t teaching students about physical and mental health it’s time to replace critique with creativity and build 21st century alternatives.

🫀Your heart is a muscle. You can train it to be more resilient to stress while lowering your risk of heart disease and stroke.
~
🫁Breathing exercises can reduce anxiety on the spot. A lesser known fact is that poor breathing routinely causes stress and anxiety. We breathe to get rid of Co2. Our tolerance to Co2 is variable and trainable. Low Co2 tolerance leads to changes in breathing rate and volume which can cause feelings of chronic stress and anxiety.
~
🏋🏽‍♀️Exercise is a physiological prerequisite for a healthy brain. None of us-no matter what cultural or ideological narrative we adopt-are exempt from the basic physical activity needs of our body.
~
🧠Our brain changes throughout our lives. Our experience of the world around us is a direct result of how our brain functions, and how our brain functions is a direct result of our sleep, exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle. Who we are in the world (and how the world appears to us) is a reflection of how the 3 pound organ in our skull exchanges electric and chemical signals. Every lifestyle decision we make influences the development of the supercomputer responsible for the subjective quality of our lives.
~
Our body prioritizes one thing: Our survival. When our basic needs (hydration, nutrition, quality sleep, adequate exercise) aren’t met it impacts our hormone levels and neurotransmitters. Stress and anxiety are not punishments, they are prompts designed to drive behavior changes most conducive to survival. Physical health is the foundation for mental health. When failing to meet the needs of the body results in the inevitable mental strain designed to leverage a change in behavior it isn’t a “disorder.” It’s human physiology.

We’ve been taught to learn about everything, except ourselves. It’s time to flip the script for the 21st century🧠🔥

Less than 22% of adults meet the minimum physical activity requirements.

As millions of sedentary, screen addicted kids are prescribed amphetamines or benzodiazepines instead of movement this begs an important question....

Are the people diagnosing them rising early in the morning for a brisk 5k run followed by an invigorating sauna session before grabbing the prescription pad?

The chances, statistically speaking, of a child receiving a mental health diagnosis from a physically healthy adult are increasingly slim.

The only person who would give a child medication before health education has since long abandoned their own health.

The child becomes a casualty to the adult's lack of accountability, and the cycle continues through generations.

At Physiology First our affiliate owners and health educators are actually healthy.

They can pick up heavy stuff, run a mile at a respectable pace, and demonstrate health metrics that prove they are not on the verge of death😎📊💪🙌

If you're a health passionate adult who wants to inspire the next generation send us a DM. We have 2 spots remaining in our January 2026 Certification Program!

Kids deserve adults who can lead the health revolution from the front lines. It's time to teach the next generation about their physiology, first🧠🔥

Researchers found that exercise should be the "first choice treatment" for depression, anxiety and psychological distress, as it improves symptoms 1.5 times better than both leading medications and talk therapy.

If you're following this page this probably isn't news to you.

Rather than pointing out the obvious let's tackle the nuances here...

There is one group of people capable of designing effective exercise programs.

They're called fitness professionals.

With the #1 intervention and prevention strategy for treating anxiety and depression being exercise the ball is in officially in the court of an industry traditionally focused on biceps as opposed to brain health.

If you're wondering why fitness influencers are comparing their quads on Instagram while teenagers overdose on benzodiazepines? Because they didn't get the memo that the #1 most effective tool for improving mental health is the one that they are uniquely qualified to prescribe.

The physician who has ten minutes to spend with an anxious teenager dispenses drugs because it's their last resort. They have no idea how to prescribe exercise-the #1 most effective tool in improving mental health.

The therapist doesn't know how to design an exercise program either...this isn't their field.

The game of finger pointing between industries is the result of a health hierarchy being reshuffled by breakthroughs in science and technology.

No one knows whose job it is to teach kids to exercise for improved mental health, so a generation gets pills instead of skills.

We've been tackling this problem for a decade.

We've built the most comprehensive and educational exercise program on the planet to improve youth mental health and tested it with hundreds of teens.

It works🧠🔥

We're training the health and fitness professionals who are ready to step up to the plate and help kids put the physical foundation for mental health in place.

Whose problem is this?

It's our problem.

And we're ready to turn the research into OUTREACH and teach the next generation about their physiology, first.
