the ryc philosophy
At the heart of the RYC philosophy lies a simple truth: your body is not just a vessel—it's a gift. Our souls have been entrusted with a primate body, a remarkable vehicle designed to explore the physical world to enable us to grow and learn.
To make the most of this incredible opportunity, we must treat it with the respect and care it deserves. Aligning with Nature.
Human beings evolved in harmony with nature, yet modern life has pulled us far from these roots.
While we're not advocating a return to living in caves or romanticising the harsh realities of our ancestors, it’s important to recognise that the conveniences of today—phones, internet, TV, electricity, and cars—have only been around for the tiniest fraction of our evolutionary timeline. These advancements have their benefits, but they’ve also disconnected us from what our bodies and minds truly need to thrive. At its core, RYC is about realigning with nature as much as possible.
This means:
- Eating whole, nutrient-dense foods to fuel your body.
- Moving more in ways that mimic natural human activity.
- Prioritising rest by honouring your body’s natural rhythms and going to bed at the right times.
- Rejecting harmful social norms, such as binge drinking or consuming excessive amounts of processed junk food.
This isn’t about perfection or rejecting modern life entirely—it’s about finding balance. Reclaiming Your Sovereignty.
Modern society profits from our disconnection. Large corporations thrive on our addictions to unhealthy habits, and they capitalise on the illnesses these habits create. RYC is about defying this system. It's a rebellion against the status quo, a declaration that you won’t allow yourself to be trapped by societal norms that harm your body and spirit. Choosing to respect your chimp is an act of self-love. It’s about daring to prioritise your health, vitality, and well-being over fleeting indulgences and societal expectations.
By embracing RYC, you’re choosing to honour the gift of your body, align with your true nature, and live in a way that allows you to fully experience the incredible journey of life. Respect your chimp, and it will reward you with energy, strength, and resilience to face whatever challenges come your way.
