Smoking cigarettes was normalized and even prescribed by doctors in the 1950s
That same behaviour is now widely acknowledged as harmful to human health, and prescribing cigarettes would be malpractice and reputational suicide
Today, wearing unnatural footwear and spending most of our waking hours sitting in chairs has been normalized
Apollo aims to improve awareness of fundamental principles that govern human biology to help individuals and professionals improve lower body health and prevent injury
If we view behaviours as software, this is free open source health software for human hardware
Humans who wish to reclaim responsibility for their health can run this software to protect and optimize their lower body hardware
Don’t trust us. Run the software and experience it yourself

Disease care is high time preference
Pain is viewed as an enemy to be eliminated at all costs and interventions create massively harmful negative long term consequences
Healthcare is low time preference
Pain is acknowledged as beneficial feedback to orient changes that must be made. Weathering short term discomfort and listening to signals is the cost of achieving long term health
The era of decentralized healthcare has arrived and happens at the individual level
One by one, individuals opt out of trusting disease care authorities and reclaim responsibility for their well being
Apollo is free open source health software for the lower extremity
Simple principles, powerful results
Don’t trust us. Run the software and validate it yourself

By distilling lower extremity health into the few exceptionally valuable behaviours, help we individuals focus their time on the few essential things that offer the greatest benefit
Because clarity facilitates action and things only change when action is taken
When it comes to health, almost everything on the internet is noise
It’s hard to know what to believe and who to trust
With Apollo we deliberately distinguish the vital few from the trivial many by focusing on first principles
Developing better (lower extremity) health is the process of continually lowering time preference, subtracting unnatural behaviours and adding natural behaviours
Focus your energy, make changes, be patient and trust the process
