Welcome to 1up!

Howdy - Jared here. Thank you for subscribing. Here’s a pic of me to put a face to a name - my wife and I live on a farm just north of Atlanta, and I’m a junkie for ideation and thinking up new ways to bring more fun into life.

Here’s why:

I’ve spent the last two decades learning about what makes the human body work best. I’ve tried a lot, some things out of curiosity, but mostly out of necessity. After a doctor told me he thought I had leprosy, my life forever changed. I’ve studied the longest-living people - why they are so happy, what their health habits are like, and what the science says about why it’s working. I’m going to share with you not just what I have learned, but only what I have applied and currently practice in my life.

I’m very passionate about health and wellness and believe that we are our happiest when we are experiencing optimal health.

Before we get into the details, could you do me a quick favor?

Here's what to expect from this newsletter

📧 The Newsletter: Every Tuesday morning, you’ll get my weekly newsletter which will include:

1. The latest science and trends around health, wellness, longevity, better sex, increasing your happiness, and more.
   

2. A deep dive into one key aspect of mental, physical, or spiritual health. I believe optimal health exists only when these three components of overall health are growing in harmony with each other. If one gets out of whack, it throws us all off. I will share with you a new idea you can try, how I have been impacted by it, and some research to back it up.

3. Some fun along the way.

📬 A welcome email about my motivation to get healthy: In the next 24 hours, I will send you an email about why sex was my motivation for better health, what I hope you can learn from my story, and resources on health, happiness, and living longer and stronger.

In the Happy Farmily podcast, my wife and I dig into what makes relationships thrive. We believe happy healthy relationships are the result of happy healthy people. It’s on Youtube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify.
