📣Age Is Just a Number: Healthy #Aging in Action
💪🏾In my SPARTA Strength Class at the Malden Senior Center, members aged 65 to 97 are proving that chronological age doesn’t define their mental and physical capacity.
🎯They’re not just redefining #fitness —they’re reclaiming strength, mobility, and joy in movement.

📣Bridging the Gap: #Fitness and #Healthcare for Healthy Aging
📌With over 20 years in the fitness industry and as an EMT-B, I’ve seen firsthand the unnecessary divide between the #medical and fitness communities. It’s time we break down these barriers and work together to build a healthier future.
🎯Preventive care is the cornerstone of healthy aging. That’s why I always encourage my clients, no matter their fitness level, to schedule annual checkups. These regular appointments are …

… crucial for early detection and maintaining overall well-being.
➡️ But the bridge goes both ways. I urge the medical community to recognize and collaborate with local fitness professionals. We’re more than just movement experts; we’re a vital #community resource for accessible fitness, #wellness events, and guiding individuals toward healthy, active lives.
💪🏾Let’s build a stronger, more integrated network for healthy living, together. - #Coach Julio

Why do fascists love yoga? Stewart Home has written a book, "Fascist Yoga: Grifters, Occultists, White Supremacists, and the New Order in Wellness," looking at how white supremacy and wellness came to be connected in the west, and continue to be linked today via movements like QAnon. The Observer talked to him and other experts on the subject. “I ... think there’s a broad overlap,” podcaster Travis View says, “between the hyper-individualism of the far right and new age wellness thinking. There’s a distrust of, for example, public health measures and a belief that you have a moral obligation to take care of your own health entirely. This is why there’s so much overlap in anti-vaccine belief; it’s a far-right belief, but also something you’d see in crunchy yoga circles.”

Oh I agree. Anyone who's not actively trying to make themselves sicker is a step away from proposing the institutional murder of disabled people to improve the human breeding stock 🤦♂️
Like the word "fascist", the word "eugenics" has a specific and important meaning. Please stop using it to mean any health-related policy or philosophy you're not enthusiastic about.
The Trump regime continues to double down on their eugenicist choices, nominating Casey Means, a wellness influencer, for surgeon general.
I’ve said for a long time that “wellness” is eugenics adjacent.
While there’s nothing wrong with a healthy lifestyle, no amount of green juice, yoga, meditation or sunlight can cure disabilities.
What’s worse, wellness “influencers” almost always blame the chronically ill for not trying hard enough.
Between Means, Prasad, RFK Jr and Dr Oz, things look bleak for those with disabilities (but great for anyone hawking supplements!)
