Right now, the collective hive is hurting.

Like the body, when one part is suffering, the entire body feels its pain.

• 60% of the U.S. has a chronic disease, compared to just 6% in the 1960s.
• 70% of the U.S. is overweight.
• More than 50% of the U.S. reports being lonely, leading to a 29% increase in all-cause mortality.
• The fertility rate (1.7) has more than halved since 1960 (3.7), now lower than the replacement rate, meaning we are dying faster than we are creating.

Our systems have failed us. Something has to change. We must take our health into our own hands.

But there is hope.

Health starts with awareness and then action.

And today, we live in an interesting time.

88% of the world’s population has a smartphone. Over half the world is on social media.

That’s distribution power.

A power we can use to empower.

And you, health & wellness creators, are who the way.

But currently, there is a major issue.

While there is amazing content from health & wellness creators scattered through social media platforms to help people with their health, there is an equal and opposite amount of toxic content with endless temptations pulling us away from our health.

A bigger issue is, the platforms themselves are not designed for our health.

Going on social media is like going to a mall to eat healthy… it’s very hard.

The intention matters in the design of the platform.
