Poor health is often blamed on bad genes, bad germs and, essentially, bad luck. It’s a beguiling narrative, quite popular as it allows us to shirk personal responsibility for our health and happiness.
In basic terms, health can be described as the consistent correct organisation of all 37 trillion cells in your body. Where the ‘organisation’ represents a response ability (the ability to respond) to internal and external challenges, then adapt, overcome and create health.
This ‘response ability’ is determined less by our genes and more by the responsible management of the external and internal environments that activate your genes. The external environment being physical activity and chemical nutritional, and the internal environment being our mental-emotional and recovery status.
Health relies on response ability. Response ability requires responsibility.

Thanks Kierin,
It was great to see the turtle this morning.
Also, there’s a link to a longer article there too.
I try to limit myself to a few paragraphs on the BnB blog.
Thanks again.
