** World’s 1st Emotional Hygiene App ** Best way to power wellbeing, and prevent chronic illness. Just 10 minutes a day. Tried conventional methods to get well, but still haven’t gotten the results you want? YOU’RE HARDLY ALONE. According to the CDC, 9 in 10 are trapped in epidemics of chronic disease and mental illness despite spending trillions each year on conventional methods from The System – the supposed “mental health, wellness, healthcare” industries. WHAT’S MISSING IN WELLBEING? Modern emotional hygiene. Prior to the 1900s, chronic disease and mental illness also ran rampant. The average lifespan was just 32 years. Then, in 1920, we learned from good science that poor physical and oral hygiene was the cause of said epidemics. By the 1950s, the people took charge of their wellbeing through daily bathing and brushing. Thus, they ushered in modern physical and oral hygiene. Today, we've learned from good science that poor emotional hygiene (from daily emotional neglect) is the cause of chronic disease and mental illness in modern people. These are also the hidden root of recurring money and relationship problems. Each of us incur unprecedented onslaughts of thousands of daily emotional stressors – from worries about money and health, fear of the future, anxiety from social comparison, shame from social threats, work overwhelm, to pain from relationships. This constant stream of daily emotional attacks (coupled with our daily emotional neglect) causes poor emotional hygiene, raises chronic stress, cortisol buildup, then emotional dysregulation, toxic inflammation – that cascade into chronic disease and mental illness. These are also the hidden root of recurring money and relationship problems. AND GET THIS! None of the conventional methods from The System enable us to practice good emotional care. It’s not a conspiracy. It’s math. Why cure for #1 when they can treat (over and over) for trillions of dollars. A new life starts with this new paradigm: EMOTIONAL HYGIENE IS THE NEW CLEAN How do we flush out the daily “emotional plaque” buildup…? Just like daily brushing is essential; daily co-regulating is most essential. YOU + PUUR IS THE CURE PUUR members are ushering in modern emotional hygiene. There is only one method proven by top studies and supported by rare medical consensus to deliver good emotional hygiene – and that’s 10-minute somatic co-regulation, also known as “Contemplative Dyads, Dyad Meditation or PUUR” – the #1 prescription of the world’s leading research clinicians from preventive medicine, mental health & trauma, true wellness & success. HOW YOU’LL PUUR • Listener: asks a compassionate question and listens empathetically without verbal or nonverbal reactions. • Sharer: scans the body in the present moment and somatically shares their experience. • Role Switch: after 5 minutes, you switch roles. You can take charge of your wellbeing in all parts of your life in just 10-minutes a day through PUUR. As former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy has said, “We are each other’s healers.” SUBSCRIPTION & TERMS • $69.99 per year • $12.99 per month Subscription automatically renews unless turned off in your iTunes Account Settings at least 24 hours before the current period ends.
