The Problem and The Solution
Tired of the noise? If you feel like you’ve been doing “everything right”—tracking, optimizing, stacking supplements—but still feel lost, you’re fighting the Health Attention Economy. This system is built for engagement and dependency, not for solving your problems.
This Deep Dive episode introduces the Seven Principles of the Health Under Control (HUC) Framework—your definitive filter for evaluating any health advice, protocol, or product.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode (Principles 1, 2, 3)
This first part of our series tackles Measurement and Action, providing the tools to stop outsourcing your authority:
🚨 The Crisis of Displacement: We unpack why outsourcing your body’s verdict to wearables, CGMs, and sleep scores results in a profound loss of discernment—and why the body stops being a place to live and becomes a data set to interpret.
✅ Principle 1: Self-Verification. The litmus test for any tool. You’ll learn why the body must confirm the shift first, and the data (the lab test, the HRV chart) is only the final receipt.
🛠️ Principle 3: Remove Hidden Blocks. Stop managing symptoms forever. We analyze why high cortisol, fatigue, or chronic anxiety are often just signals of a deeper, obstructed system—and how removing that root constraint brings health back naturally.
If you are a practitioner lost in the cycle of endless, contradictory protocols, or if you are a curious person tired of letting external metrics define your wellness, this deep dive is your guide back to embodied literacy.
Coming Next in the Series
We’ve laid the foundation, but the analysis is just beginning. In our next Deep Dive, we tackle Principles 4 & 5, focusing on Clarity of Function and the power of Explainable Mechanisms to ensure you never have to rely on blind faith again.
