Story Of Our Lives

I need you to understand why this health news is bigger than it sounds.

44 ingredients removed. BHA. BHT. Titanium dioxide. Potassium bromate. Artificial sweeteners that have no business being in your food.

This is not about ALDI. This is about the fact that these ingredients were in the food to begin with. That they are in thousands of products on shelves right now at stores that have made zero commitments to change. That the American food system has operated this way for decades while research has continued to raise serious concerns about what these additives do to our hormones, our gut, and our metabolic health.

One grocer making a move does not fix a broken system. But it proves the system can change. And that change starts with consumers refusing to accept the standard we were handed.

👇🏻 Comment “44” and I’ll DM you the full list of ingredients finally being removed.

Your hormones aren’t the problem.
They’re responding to something.
If you’ve been feeling: • exhausted
• overwhelmed
• stuck
• like nothing is working
…it’s not random.
Your body is communicating.
Most people try to “fix hormones”
without ever looking at what’s driving them.
👉 Stress isn’t just mental
👉 It’s chemical
👉 It’s physical
👉 It’s stored
And if the nervous system is overwhelmed, everything downstream shifts—energy, sleep, mood, digestion, and yes… hormones.
This is the piece almost everyone is missing.
That’s exactly what we’re breaking down in this talk.

You’re not the customer. You’re the product.

Most people assume healthcare decisions are made based on what’s best for patients.

But here’s the reality:

Publicly traded health insurance companies answer to shareholders first.

That means:

Profitability drives decisions
Spending less on care improves earnings
And if a market or group of people isn’t profitable… companies can exit

To be fair—this isn’t about “bad companies.”
It’s about how the system is designed.

When profit is the priority, care becomes a cost to manage.

So the real question is:

👉 What if your healthcare worked for YOU instead?

A growing number of people are exploring models built around:

Transparency
Choice
Shared responsibility
And putting people back at the center

If something about the current system has felt off… you’re not wrong.

👉 If you’re exploring alternatives to traditional insurance, I can show you exactly how this works and what it could look like for your situation. DM me and I will get you a quote!

Though corporate profits are high, and the stock market is booming, most Americans are not sharing in the economic recovery. While the top 0.1% of income recipients reap almost all the income gains, good jobs keep disappearing, and new ones tend to be insecure and underpaid. One of the major causes:...

Big Insurance just got shut down in court.
And it exposes exactly how the system really works.
Insurance companies have been losing payment disputes to doctors under the No Surprises Act.
So instead of accepting the outcome…
They tried to bypass the system
and take it to federal court.
👉 The judge said NO.
Not fraud.
Not corruption.
Not illegal.
They just didn’t like losing.
Let that sink in.
When the system works against you, you’re told to deal with it.
When it works against them… they try to rewrite the rules.
This isn’t about patient care.
It’s about control.
It’s about money.
It’s about who decides what your health is worth.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or powerless navigating healthcare…
You’re not crazy.
You’re seeing it clearly.

If a medication works… but your habits don’t change… did anything actually change?
There’s a lot being said right now about GLP-1 medications — side effects, lawsuits, and mixed experiences.
Here’s the grounded truth:
These can be a powerful tool for some people.
But they are not a replacement for how you live your life.
Your body is always communicating.
And no medication replaces the foundations:
• Movement and muscle support
• Nourishing your body with real food
• Supporting your gut and digestion
• Managing stress and your nervous system
• Daily, consistent choices
If you are using (or considering) a GLP-1, this matters:
– Prioritize protein to help support lean muscle
– Eat whole foods (especially vegetables, healthy fats, and quality nutrients)
– Reduce processed foods, excess sugar, and inflammatory oils
– Stay consistent with strength-based movement
Because when the medication stops…
your habits are what remain.
I work with individuals who want to understand their body and take a more complete approach.
That may include tools — including peptides and supportive therapies — used intentionally alongside lifestyle changes, not instead of them.
Everything we use should support your body’s natural ability to function — not replace it.
Results and experiences can vary, and no single approach works the same for everyone. The goal is to find what supports your body best.
This is about becoming your own advocate.
Learning your body.
And making choices that support you long-term.

2025: Big Insurance made $54 BILLION in profits.

While:

• Premiums increased
• Deductibles climbed over 50% since 2015
• Families paid nearly $27,000/year for employer coverage
• Millions were pushed into government-funded programs
• And fewer people were actually covered

This isn’t a glitch.

It’s the design.

When insurance companies call paying your medical claims a “loss,” that tells you everything you need to know.

There is another way.

Impact Health Sharing is a modern healthcare sharing community built around people — not shareholders.

✔ Free 24/7 telemedicine
✔ Mental health eligible for sharing

IMPACT Decision Guide

Take back control.

Big News in Healthcare This Week 👇
The Federal Trade Commission just reached a settlement with Cigna’s pharmacy benefit manager, Express Scripts, over insulin pricing practices.
According to federal reporting, PBMs were accused of: • Favoring higher-priced drugs tied to rebate incentives
• Basing patient costs on inflated list prices
• Using “spread pricing” structures that lacked transparency
Under the settlement, Express Scripts must: • Base patient out-of-pocket costs on net drug prices
• Offer lower-cost versions when available
• Increase employer pricing transparency
The FTC estimates this could save patients up to $7 billion on insulin over the next 10 years.
Transparency in prescription pricing is finally becoming a national conversation.
Now let’s be honest.
If someone is already using insulin, that is considered an ongoing condition in most healthcare sharing models, including Impact’s standard program. Those expenses are treated differently under membership guidelines.
That doesn’t mean Impact is never a fit.
It means we look at the entire financial picture before making changes.
Healthcare decisions should be strategic — not emotional reactions to headlines.
If you’re a small business owner or family asking: • Where is my money actually going? • How are prescriptions priced? • What are my real options?
Let’s have a transparent conversation.
