Education


We believe in learning.
"Seek the truth, know the truth, live the truth, share the truth."
Good ol' Socrates said: "The unexamined life is not worth living", and we think humbly embracing our ignorance is probably a good place to start. To be sure, learning takes time, effort and persistence. But, we think accessing the truth and then applying it in our lives is our only option in order to fulfill our purposes here. Providing a greater understanding of the key principles and foundations for good health is our goal. We will attempt to share the best of what we have discovered and do this in ways that are interesting, engaging, useful and accessible.
Please check out the following links to articles, videos and useful knowledge bases. Most articles will have ads on them, so please do your best to ignore those ads. Apologies in advance. This page will constantly be changing as we add and subtract the best resources we can find. Please let us know if there is something in particular you would like us to research, and we will do our best to get you the best info we can find. If an article seems ridiculous or useless, we can take another look at it and remove it, if needed. Just let us know.
