“A CAC isn’t good enough because it doesn’t detect soft plaque…you need a CCTA!”

“Your regular doctor isn’t good enough…you need an enlightened concierge practitioner with a robust Social Media presence!”

“Your current diet isn’t good enough…you need a multivitamin, 7 different supplements, and ‘peptides’ in order to truly be optimized!”

“Your testosterone of 750 isn’t high enough…you need a prescription for TRT!”

“Your extensive clinical experience isn’t good enough…you need another Doctoral degree in order to be considered for this job!”

“Aerobic exercise isn’t good enough…you need to lift some weights or you’ll just be skinny-fat!”

“Resistance exercise isn’t good enough…you need to do some cardio or else you’ll get heart failure!”

“Your carnivore diet isn’t good enough…you need some fiber!”

“Your vegan diet isn’t good enough…you need some iron and B12 supplements!”

“Your current paycheck isn’t good enough…you deserve more!”

“Your current resume isn’t good enough…you need to do more!”

“You seem like you don’t care enough…you need to care more!”

“You seem like you care too much…you need to care less!”

Maybe you and I need One thing and we simply need more of That and less of everything else.  And maybe with that perspective we can better contextualize the cacophony of advice and wisely steward the Gift of Life with love, joy, and peace.
