Welcome to the Uncivilized Perspective: Rethinking Health and Fitness

Welcome to the very first post on the Uncivilized Perspective blog. I’m glad you’re here.
This blog is here for one main reason: to challenge the way we think about health and fitness. The name Uncivilized Performance & Wellness reflects exactly that.
Why “Uncivilized”?
To me, “uncivilized” means having the courage to keep an open mind and to question the so-called “truths” we’re told by “the experts”. Too often, we accept conventional health advice without asking why. Here, I want to dig deeper, think critically, and explore alternative perspectives backed by curiosity and evidence.
What You Can Expect
On this blog, I’ll share fresh ideas and thought-provoking questions about all things health and wellness.
For example, you’ve probably heard the advice to limit sodium intake to 1.5 grams per day. But what if that guideline doesn’t apply in all situations?
- In the summer, when we sweat more and lose sodium, shouldn’t we replace what’s lost?
- When we’re more active, sodium helps signal our nervous system—don’t we want enough to support optimal function?
These are the kinds of topics we’ll explore together, questioning mainstream narratives, considering context, and rethinking the “one-size-fits-all” health rules.
A Space for Discussion
This isn’t just a platform for my ideas; it’s a conversation. I welcome your questions, challenges, and even disagreements. If you think I’ve got something wrong, let’s talk about it. That’s how we learn and grow.
Let’s Think Differently About Health
If you’ve made it this far, thank you. I hope this is just the beginning of your journey here. There’s much more to come, and I’m excited to share, learn, and evolve with you.
Stay curious. Stay “uncivilized.”
