Your Feed Thinks You Need Fixing

The optimization industry needs one thing before it can sell you anything: your belief that you are not enough. Tony Tedesco has decided not to provide it. Tony talks through what actually earns his attention in a feed built to amplify inadequacy, and it is not the cabbage diet or the step counter. It is people telling the truth about what they are going through. The scroll-past is instant for anything that leads with a problem you did not know you had. The concern is not for people like Tony, who have access to real nutritionists, psychologists, and fitness professionals through his work. It is for everyone else spending real money on programs sold by people with no particular expertise in anything except making the sale.
