Courses

Lifelong learning with specifically designed courses that simplify your journey to a happy, healthy life.

The courses section helps you develop a theoretical understanding of the human being as a whole: how we work, what we are capable of, and how to take care of ourselves.

Many people are intimidated by the insane complexity of trying to understand a human being; however, if they learn the basic concepts first, they can understand enough to stop being overwhelmed and see how their nature works.

I put a lot of effort into simplifying these incredibly difficult and interconnected topics. I want to raise the bar in how we treat ourselves by getting everyone to learn about how they work.

Fit2Thrive also shares in one place so many of the teachings and insights I wish had been available to me at the start of my journey. These insights brought everything together and helped me see through the data and theories to the underlying truth. I aim to save you the time I spent doing all the research.

So, to understand the whole site, you only need to understand that every article is in some way linked to recovering your balance (Homeostasis) from what happened just now or a while ago. Everything starts to make sense once you know that.

The main idea is that all the subsequent topics come under the general principle of finding balance. They are all relevant in their own way and time, but the core focus has always been time: How do I live well each day and not carry over any recovery debt to the next day?

I have categorised my writings and research into several topics that go into more specific detail. Each topic considers a human being from a particular perspective and draws on a wide variety of disciplines to fully explore the topic.

I have also ordered the topics according to core and more advanced topics.

Optimising health at the scale of an organism as complicated as a human being requires an understanding of these core topics:

Balance: All life exists by maintaining its internal environment against internal and external pressures. A lifestyle that heals is one that puts balance first by living in ways that promote the natural balancing mechanisms we all possess. View all
Cells: It is easy to underestimate how much each cell does for us. Our cells originally survived on their own and still have much of the complicated machinery for life. They maintain a separate internal environment than their surroundings and tightly control what goes in or out. They also work with the trillions of other cells which requires complicated mechanisms to orchestrate well. View all
Pressure: explores the pressure of all the competing demands on your time and resources. View all

A more advanced understanding of health comes from much wider study and lasts a lifetime. The topics covered so far include:

Environments: Lifes connections: Everything in life is connected to everything else as one giant ecosystem. View all
Senses: Your lived reality: Everyone sees the world differently and learning how to correctly interpret what our senses tell us is a skill we can always develop. View all
Choices: Decisions you make: This is about being yourself, understanding the choices you make and how you can be the best you. View all
Technology: Artificial life: Explores how we are now creating forms of artificial life and biology. View all
