Detox this 11-hour a day habit

Yes, really Greetings Everyday Spy, There’s a crucial part of CIA that you’ve never heard of before. During my time as an officer I received outstanding medical treatment and training from the men and women in CIA’s Office of Medical Services (OMS). You never really see OMS highlighted in movies or books. They don’t carry guns or dress in suits. They are silent warriors in scrubs, armed with incredible knowledge and top-tier meds. Over the course of a career, field officers become close colleagues with the OMS doctors and nurses that care for them. - They take us from sickness to health. - They take us from injury to healing. - They prepare us to deploy by protecting us from infection. Even before my first visit to OMS, I knew what it was like to work closely with medical experts. My mother is a career intensive care nurse. Growing up, my sisters and I were never far from an expert opinion – from my mom, her peers, or a specialist she worked with at the hospital. Mom protected us from a nationwide measles outbreak in the 1980’s and the West Nile Virus in the 1990’s. She prepared us for travel abroad and gave us an unshakable respect for personal health practices. The informal medical wisdom I gained at home was solidified a decade later by OMS at CIA. Watching COVID-19 spread like wildfire back in 2020, I was frustrated by how much fear replaced facts. And contrary to what many now think, the coronavirus is here to stay. It’s a ‘pandemic’ that became ‘endemic’… permanent for the rest of history. Every year we see endemic diseases continue to spread, cause illness, and take lives. Viruses are a natural part of our world – they grow, spread, and mutate. That’s OK. Because your immune system is insanely powerful. And you can make it even stronger. And, no, I’m not about to hock some immunity “mega supplement” your way. I’m going to give you a method CIA’s OMS taught me to boost my immunity at home and in the field: Do a Media Detox. To reduce stress, reduce your exposure to negative media. This is a detox that works. News triggers negative emotions that release unhealthy hormones into the body. The body processes these hormones by increasing fat production and burning much-needed energy, leaving you feeling tired and irritated. The average adult spends 11 hours a day behind a screen. Extended screen exposure causes eye strain, unnatural brain stimulation, and physiological issues with your head, neck, and back. These conditions increase stress and consume your body’s immune system resources. To [boost your immune system immediately]( turn away from 24 hours news for the next 24 hours. Decide to stop watching, stop reading, and stop consuming fear, speculation, and gossip. After 24 hours, spend an hour checking up on what you missed… I promise it won’t be much. Then, turn away again – this time for 48 hours. In less than a week, you will reduce your consumption of stressful content by up to 30% and reduce your overall screen time 14% below the national average. You will decrease your cortisol levels, increase white blood cell production, and boost your cytokines well above your current baseline. Be on the lookout for the next email where I’ll teach you the CIA “glucose bump” for an instant immunity and energy boost. But first things first: Detox yourself from the media. And notice [how much better you feel >>]( Godspeed, #EverydaySpy P.S. Keeping your immune system is critical. Staring at screens and getting media-blitzed raises stress hormones that open you up to illness and mental fatigue. But you can use the same methods CIA uses to [keep yourself healthy, recharged, and operating like never before.]( This email was sent to {EMAIL}. Don't want to receive these emails anymore?
