Core element #1 of the protocol: Low time preference Adopting a low time preference means thinking long term It means prioritizing long term health and resilience over short term suppression of symptoms With a low time preference, we focus on inputs, trust the process and view pain as our guide on the journey With a high time preference (short term thinking), we view pain as the energy, want immediate relief, and ignore long term consequences of our short term actions With a high time preference we’re tempted to take a drug, an injection or a surgery to get immediate relief even if those very things make the problem worse long term Restoring a healthy lower body that is strong, mobile, resilient and free of pain is a process, not an event.
