In this Canyon Commentary, I talk through the psychology of chronic and serious illness — how we perceive risk, why modern medicine often feels adversarial, and how to balance agency with trust in scientific authority. This isn’t medical advice. It’s a reflection on lived experience, fallibility (both patient and clinician), and the reality that sometimes the only available choice is a bad one. Being outdoors, staying active, and improving diet have helped me manage symptoms and buy margin — but they are not cures. Medicine has limits. Nature has limits. Biology doesn’t negotiate. If you’re navigating chronic illness, supporting someone who is, or working in healthcare, I hope this adds clarity — or at least better questions. Clinician perspectives and respectful disagreement are welcome.
