Anxiety often comes from the inability to control or deal with the things around you. While we cannot always have complete control over our lives, we can control ourselves and how we react to what is happening around us. I had a conversation with a woman the other day who had been in a minor car accident. She was rear-ended, broke her tail light, and had some damage to her bumper. The other driver admitted fault and they exchanged insurance information. No one was hurt and her car was repairable.…

I keep hearing people talk about how chocolate milk is good for building muscle, and I have seen it advertised as post-workout goodness. In my opinion, this is not the case at all. Many studies are linking milk to inflammation and gut issues. Excess inflammation and decreasing the functioning of the gut – which includes absorbing nutrients – is the last thing you would want to do. The protein in cow milk is also hard for the body to digest and as a result, there is not a full conversion…

I love athletes. Sports prepare you for success like nothing else can. I have had the pleasure of working with athletes of all ages including both professionals and amateurs. I had a conversation with the mom of a child taking gymnastics that summed up my love for what sports teaches. She was telling a story about when things go wrong and you feel like you’re falling apart. When everything crashes down, you’re left crying and hurt. She told me you don’t quit or go home. What you do is you…

Cardio doesn’t work for fat loss. If you want to lose fat, you will need to change your diet. While cardio can increase the total calories burned, it isn’t the best path for real fat loss. If you want to lean out, the best route to go is to find your resting metabolic rate (RMR). Now you will know the number of calories you cannot drop below during the day and build out your macro set knowing how many calories you need to hit your fat goals. Calories and macros…

I keep seeing headlines about protecting yourself against various illnesses or what pharmaceuticals to take for this issue or that issue. For that reason, I decided to do a pillars check-up this week and figure out how to make yourself as healthy as possible. First, I wanted to make sure that your goals are set up properly. Is it your goal to merely survive? Is it your goal to have the highest quality of life for as long as possible? Do you have any health goals? Goals are important to…

It has been said that we are our own worst enemy. One example of this is when we hold negativity in and cannot let it go. That anger and negativity spill over into other things we do, darkening our entire lives and crushing our souls. I often tell people to forgive others. You do it for yourself, not for them. The people we forgive don’t even have to know you forgive them. Holding anger, resentment and strife against another person and constantly thinking about them poisons you; it leaves you…

I talk about cleaning the liver a lot, but I wanted to run back through again because cleaning the liver is one of the most important things you can do for your health. People talk a lot about cleaning and fixing the gut, which is important. However, how do you think the inflammation in the gut is pulled out? The way that the liver works is via the blood and lymphatics. The blood and the lymph run all around the body and they collect all the metabolic trash that is…

In today’s world, much of how we think life should be comes from social media. People talk about how they “crush the day” or get up at 4 am to make it all work. What is not always talked about is how we can do that. For instance, I have an entire team that helps me. In addition, my wife, who has a full time career, also does an amazing job balancing her life with the kids’ schedule. My office manager Rachael keeps everything at my office functioning. My associate…

I am sure many of you wonder why I make such a big deal about psychology and talk about mental state so much. The reason is because of my study of neurology and biochemistry. Psychological stress does not just stay in your head. It goes all over the body and often ends up in the gut, where it will literally turn everything off. If you have stress all day and every day, you will lose your probiotics and the gut lining will start to inflame and degrade. This process is hardwired…
