Somewhere in our internet browsing adventures recently Randy and I discovered Gary Brecka. Brecka has an unusual, fascinating, and compelling story about how he came to start a podcast called The Ultimate Human. He’s a non-physician human biologist whose life work has been the study of how the human body does, and doesn’t work. It’s the doesn’t work part that’s so fascinating to me. As a non-physician, he looks for and suggests treating the root causes of problems rather than simply push medication at symptoms like most doctors are trained to do in “modern medicine.”
There’s probably a much longer post in the future about some of the things we’ve learned recently from him. For today’s short post, though, I just want to mention something he said recently that hit me like a ton of bricks.
“Aging is the aggressive pursuit of comfort.”
I was stunned.
Realization dawned.
And I know what I have to do to create the rest of the life I want to live.
