You can’t always look at someone and know what they’re carrying — even someone you love.

Sometimes the most important thing we can do is let someone know they don’t have to pretend everything is okay. That they can be real with us.

When they do open up, listen without rushing to judge or fix.

Make time to ask. Make room to listen. 💙

This is me as a teenager. I look happy — and in that moment, perhaps I was. But I also had an extraordinarily difficult childhood and was carrying things no one looking at me could possibly see.

That’s something we often forget about young people. They can smile, laugh, go to school, get good grades, and appear perfectly fine but be struggling beneath the surface.

This birthday feels especially meaningful because Rethinking Health is turning one! Our first campaign will focus on youth mental health and helping families recognize that when they hear “I’m fine,” it may not be the whole story.

For my birthday — and Rethinking Health’s first birthday — I’m asking you to help us bring this important public awareness campaign to life. Please make a tax-deductible birthday donation today at the link in the comments. 💚

We have access to more health information than ever before. Yet our health outcomes are abysmal. Mental health challenges among children and young adults are at record highs, nearly three-quarters of the adult population is overweight, and chronic disease in children and adults continues to rise.

Meanwhile, everywhere we turn, someone is telling us how to get healthier. There are books, Substacks, podcasts, webinars, docuseries, and conferences. And social media has become an endless marketplace for nutraceuticals, supplements, biohacking tools, diets, tests, devices, and protocols — all promising to revolutionize our wellbeing in some way.

It’s downright overwhelming, even for the most health literate.

So how do we know what to believe? What to ignore? What might actually make a difference?

The key is to become a more active participant in your own health. Ask questions. Do your own research. Use common sense and critical thinking. And pay attention to what actually works — or doesn’t work — for your own body.

Remember, when it comes to your health, no one knows your body better than you do.

Think about some of the things we’ve come to accept as normal. We’ve become accustomed to things that would have been alarming not that long ago. Like:

- Getting by on minimal sleep.
- Eating highly processed foods.
- Putting young children on psychotropic medications.
- Being on screens for hours a day.
- Pervasive chronic conditions like obesity and heart disease.

But here’s the thing. Common doesn’t necessarily mean normal. And normal doesn’t necessarily mean healthy. But we sometimes confound the two.

Repeated exposure has a way of changing our perception. Something that might have once concerned us gradually becomes familiar. And what becomes familiar can easily start to feel “normal.”

If we want to change our nation’s health, we need to start questioning some of the things we’ve come to accept as normal. We need to exercise common sense, curiosity and critical thinking — and decide if the things we’ve normalized are actually helping us live healthier lives.

Personal responsibility matters. But let’s stop pretending it’s the whole story.

Every day, we’re told to “just make better choices.” At the same time, the food industry spends billions promoting unhealthy products and making them part of everyday life.

We wouldn’t expect someone to swim upstream if there’s a strong current pulling them the other way. So why do we expect people to make healthy choices in environments intentionally engineered to steer them in the opposite direction?

Yes, individual choices matter. But if we want to improve America’s health, we also need to examine the environments shaping our choices — and ask why we’ve come to accept them as normal.

It’s astonishing how culturally acceptable many ultra-processed foods have become.

We see these products almost everywhere we go. Grocery stores. Schools. Sporting events. Concerts. Birthday parties. Convenience stores. Liquor stores.

They’re advertised during our favorite TV shows, promoted online, and strategically placed where we’re most likely to buy them.

Over time, these repeated exposures shape what feels normal.

Maybe we should spend less time asking why people make unhealthy choices — and more time asking how certain products became so normalized in the first place.

That’s why Rethinking Health is focused on changing the conversation about health in America. We believe that changing our health begins with changing what we accept as normal.

Many young people who are struggling don’t fit the stereotypes. They go to school. They play sports. They earn good grades. They tell the people around them they’re fine.

But they’re far from it.

Too often, the signs are missed.

Depression, anxiety, loneliness, and emotional distress are affecting millions of young people. Su***de is now the second leading cause of death in people ages 10 to 24.

How many times have you told yourself, “Just one more” and then immediately reached back into the bag?

So many of us blame ourselves for overeating — or for not being able to stop when we want to. But what if there’s more to the story?

Food companies don’t just engineer products designed to keep us coming back for more. They also spend billions of dollars marketing those products and persuading us to buy them in the first place.

In 2025 alone, the U.S. food and beverage industry spent more than $14 billion advertising their products. Much of that spending was highly targeted, including campaigns aimed at children and teens on social media.

Maybe it’s time to stop asking why we can’t put the snacks down and start asking a different question:

Who’s shaping our food choices — and who’s profiting from them?

We all have beliefs about what it means to be healthy. But have you ever stopped to think about where those beliefs came from?

They’re shaped over time by family, doctors, schools, advertising, media, social media, government, peers, and our own experiences.

At Rethinking Health, we believe that understanding where our beliefs come from is one of the first steps toward changing the conversation about health.

𝗪𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗵𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

This post is just the beginning of a much larger conversation. In the coming weeks and months, we’ll be exploring these spheres of influence and the role they play in shaping what we believe about health.
