When someone says they are anti-capitalist, it means really nothing. Pay attention to whether they believe the system is the problem or the people who make up the system. I think right wingers veer into leftism usually after totalizing the Jews into an abstraction on par with an institution, rather than a group of people
The problem with all these different branches of specialized medicine today (one of many) is that it’s practitioners are almost without exception prone to missing the forest for the trees.
For instance: Chronic pain in the toe is assessed by a chiropractor to be a product of excess pressure placed on it while walking, and the “treatment” then revolves around modifying the patients walking habits.
In reality, the pain had nothing to do with the toe itself, but was instead being triggered by a herniated disk in the spine, which itself was a product of spinal torsion brought about by decades of golfing.

“Treatments” that keep people coming back
“Education” that leads to specializations so specialized that doctors don’t really even know where to begin approaching diagnosing ailments holistically. Aka. They are are almost universally not very good at their jobs.
Something ancient medicine accounted for (notably in Greek texts) and placed great emphasis on, is that the human body is an all-encompassing, unified whole of its parts. Every little adjustment we make to the way in which we move ourselves on a regular basis, changes in diet, and so on, has overarching consequences for the mechanism as a whole.

I’ll likely make more posts along these lines at a later date, but some basics to keep in the back of your mind especially have to do with posture, gait, and avoiding unnatural/isolated movement.
Ever notice how most bodybuilding legends are crippled by the time they reach their 60’s? That’s because modern bodybuilding culture places an emphasis on isolated movement and one rep maxes, which encourage unbalanced muscular strength using movement and stress-loads that is completely inorganic and predictably leads to structural damage to the body.
Every little micro-imbalance in strength reverberates and has lasting effects on how your body is inclined to perform certain tasks. By building isolated strength, you unconsciously begin to move in an unbalanced way, and this eventually compounds into skeletal misalignment/damage.

Overall power comes from the spine, the strength of which is determined primarily by the strength and stability of the core- abdominals, glutes, back, and pelvic floor. Makes sense right? These are the muscles keeping the spine in tact and in proper alignment- they are bolstering its usefulness.
Life in modernity is particularly bad at engaging core strength effectively, so it’s extra important that ones exercise regiment focus on natural full-body movements incorporating the specific muscles mentioned (think side planks, cat camels, kettlebell squats, etc.).
Russian strength building philosophy generally (Russians originated kettlebell exercises) is a good reference point for holistic, sustainable strength training.
General tips regarding posture and such: Stand up straight, walk with your arms swinging (maintains core stability), make sure you aren’t too inwardly or outwardly inflected with how your feet are positioned when you stand/walk (they should be shoulder-width apart with a slight inward inflection), and when you walk keep abdominals and glutes slightly engaged. The last part may seem hard at first, but becomes easier/subconscious the stronger those muscles become.
The end result is a walking/standing posture that facilitates (among other things) a naturally protruding chest, a taller, more open, and more physically imposing presence, a personal sense of ennobled physical projection, and a superior ability to exert great force at a moments notice (think UFC lightweights).
Real health. Real strength.
