Feeling pulled in too many directions?

Here’s how getting punched in the face can make you more focused…

I have friends who are professional fighters, and they’re some of the most focused people I know.

You’d think getting punched for a living would scatter their focus, but it’s the opposite...

What I’ve discovered is that fighters have one key attribute that helps them avoid distraction:

Singularity of focus.

Their goal is simple: be the best fighter they can be.

This singular focus simplifies everything. It gives you clarity and purpose, making it easier to say no to distractions.

Drinks tonight?

No, I have training tomorrow.

Spend an hour on YouTube?

No, I need to be in bed early to recover.

Does it mean you’re never tempted to stay up late, doomscroll, or order UberEats?

Of course not—you’re still human.

But it makes the process easier because you’re not suffering from decision fatigue juggling a million things.

Now, this way of living has its downsides too.

You can become so singularly focused that you develop ‘tunnel vision,’ forgetting to nurture relationships and so on.

You might also risk becoming one-dimensional.

But here’s the thing…

You don’t have to sacrifice your relationships or your health to reach your big goal.

You simply need the right systems.

MMA fighters have systems to keep them on track:

- Grappling
- Boxing
- Wrestling
- Lifting weights
- Etc..

These are all part of their system to stay focused and be the best.

Most business owners I talk to don’t lack ambition—they usually know what they want.

But more often than not, they aren’t single-minded about one goal.

Plus, they don’t have a system to help them maintain their energy and focus—especially when business and family life get stressful.

When stress hits, they burn out and get exhausted.

So, take a leaf out of the fighter’s handbook:

Focus on one overarching goal.

Eliminate distractions—not by trying harder to focus, but by having a system that supports your goal.

Struggling to fall asleep at night?

I believe that bad sleep is the ‘silent epidemic.’

I rarely speak to someone who has a great night’s sleep each night.

But what’s worse is how much people *tolerate* bad sleep.

How do you know if your sleep is poor?

If you take longer than 5 minutes to fall asleep, you wake up regularly during the night, and/or you don’t wake up feeling refreshed, then your sleep ain’t great…

But the good news is that it’s easy to fix.

And here’s even better news:

Great sleep makes everything else easier.

According to research, good sleep quality is linked to lower body fat, more discipline and willpower, and higher self-esteem.

Whereas poor sleep is linked to obesity, cravings for junk food, depression, and lack of motivation.

I’m a big believer in holistic health.

That means to be happy and successful, not only must you sleep well, but your mental, emotional, and physical health should taken care of.

However, it can feel overwhelming trying to figure it out by yourself 🤯

Don’t worry, I got you covered. I recently wrote a book, “Living a Fully Optimized Life” that covers everything you need to know about optimal health.

Do you struggle with brain fog? 🧠

It’s probably not what you think it is...

As a health and performance coach, one of the most common complaints clients come to me with is brain fog.

That means lack of focus and mental clarity.

If you’re a business owner, this is a big problem because your brain power is one of your most important assets 📈

Remedies for brain fog go from basic diets and workouts to extreme multi-day fasts and Ayahuasca retreats in the Amazon rain forest (maybe a tad extreme, but hey nobody’s judging...)

Anyhow, by the time clients have come to me they’ve tried pretty much everything...

Carnivore diet, 75hard, CrossFit, and so on.

And the story is always the same.

They experience a temporary burst of energy and then they go back to feeling lousy 🤒

Plus, who wants to kill themselves every day just to feel ‘normal’?

But one area these individuals rarely look at, if ever, is toxicity...

I’m talking mould, heavy metals, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals like glyphosate.

And no, you don’t have to work in a factory, on a farm, or live in a damp house to be exposed to these toxins.

You’d be amazed how common heavy metal poisoning is, for example 👾

Just the other day I looked at a client’s test results and his arsenic levels were off the charts.

I was curious, so I dug deeper and, sure enough, we discovered that the groundwater in his area was known to have high levels of arsenic.

And guess what?

Mold, heavy metals, and environmental toxins can all cause brain fog 🤯

Actually, they can also cause other symptoms like fatigue, joint pain, and stomach upset.

If you identify with any of these symptoms and you haven’t looked into toxicity testing yet, I encourage you to do so.

And if you’re interested in getting my help with testing and relief from brain fog, DM me the word “INFO” and let’s chat 💪

Do you send handwritten letters anymore? ✉️

Yesterday, I fondly remembered when I used to send letters to a pen pal at school.

When I was 9 years old, my teacher, Mrs. Hopkins, arranged for the children in the class to exchange letters with children in France.

My pen pal was called François from southern France.

All I remember about François was that he was a keen sportsman and loved ‘hockey sur glace’ (ice hockey).

I recall writing a letter to him one day. At that time, I barely knew any French; let alone how to conjugate a verb!

I had to look up every French word in the dictionary.

I vividly remember writing a passage where I told François, “Je jouer football.” In English that would be like saying, “I to play football.”

Written correctly in French it would be, “Je joue au football.”

I imagine he understood what I was saying and maybe even had a giggle!

My broken French reminded me of the approach 99% of men take when trying to lose weight and improve their health.

They go off things they read on the Internet; 75 Hard, paleo, keto, and so on...

These workouts and diets are not wrong per se but they’re not effective or sustainable over the long-term.
So what happens?

You lose weight for a few months, only to gain it all back within 6-12 months.

That’s called yo-yo dieting.

At this point, you have two choices. You can continue to tell yourself you’ll ‘go it alone’ and do things how you’ve always done them...

Thus leading to the same result (the definition of insanity).

OR...

You could seek elite coaching from me, lose up to 10 lbs in the next 30 days, and have my personal guidance to create a sustainable fitness system that requires 90 minutes a week of workout time.

Another day at my new gym yesterday.

Over the past several months, my workouts have been almost exclusively bodyweight and resistance bands.

If anything, I’ve gained size and developed more athleticism.

Plus, training outside in the Mediterranean sunshine in the south of France makes for a nice change.

Gyms are closed here anyhow, and you won’t catch me wearing a mask to train...

I used to be a massive skeptic of bodyweight training and thought you couldn’t build muscle from it.

My experience has taught me nothing could be further from the truth.

You see, most people perform bodyweight exercises for reps...

As opposed to slowing down the tempo and focusing on muscle fibre contraction, which is what will really change your physique.

Now, I’m still a gym bro at heart, so I love lifting weights.

But, if you pair bodyweight training with your normal weight work, I believe you’ll see a big difference both in how your body feels and your results.

I'm not big on New Year's resolutions. And while the start of every year is simply an arbitrary number, I like to use it as an opportunity to reflect, set new goals and challenge myself.

One of my resolutions for 2020 was to dress more smartly. Although, in truth, I actually started in back in December, because I believe that if something's worth doing, it's worth doing today.

Since I've been wearing suits, blazers, pocket squares and shoes on a regular basis, I've learned several lessons. It's amazing how people's perception of you can change once you put more thought into the way you address. You can argue that's your perception, rather than theirs, but my experience has shown otherwise.

Although, perhaps what I've found to be the most important insight is the way you begin to see yourself. Dressing smartly (whatever your style) changes the way you think, carry yourself and simply makes you feel better about yourself in general.

Changing the way I dress has reinforced to me that the more you care and respect for yourself, the better you feel about yourself. However, this doesn't just apply to clothes.

The way your body looks is equally important for your confidence and self-esteem. What good is it having nice clothes if you don't like what's under them? I know many people who don't like to put on nice clothes that they spent a lot of money on, because they don't like the way their body looks in them.

Though it's funny, most would agree that changing your style of clothing is simple. Yet many have this perception that changing the way their body looks is out of their control.

Let me make it clear for you: Your physical appearance and fitness is one of the few things in life that is totally in your control. You've just convinced yourself it isn't.

If one of your New Year's resolutions is to lose weight and feel confident about the way you look, reach out to me about my coaching. There's no time like the present!

I am an expert in testosterone replacement therapy. I was diagnosed with low testosterone in my mid twenties (I had the test levels of a 80 year old man) and I tried EVERYTHING to bring those levels up naturally.⁣

When it didn't improve, I made the life changing decision to go on TRT. This wasn't a decision I took lightly. TRT is for life, not just for a short time frame.⁣

Many clients come to me because they tried testosterone replacement therapy, thinking it would help fix their fatigue, depression or low libido.⁣

But after going on treatment they still felt the same.⁣

That's because they never addressed what caused the low T in the first place.⁣

That's why I always work with clients first and address the possible cause and solution before making the decision to try TRT. I advocate in-depth blood testing at one of my recommended and respected international laboratories. This gives me a full picture of what is really happening with your health and allows me to be prescriptive in my recommendations for optimizing your health and well-being. ⁣

We may use nutritional strategies, we may focus on your stress levels and sleep hygiene or we may embark on a programme of overhauling your lifestyle as it stands and gradually developing habits of steel that will naturally increase your testosterone levels, your energy, your happiness and decrease your stress.⁣

So YES, I am a men's coach who does work with those on TRT. But NO, I will not allow you to think this is the magic answer and not take responsibility for other areas of your life that can be changed first before starting TRT.⁣

Stop playing roulette with your health and your hormones. Start taking responsibility for the lifestyle factors that are truly in your control.⁣

STOP TRAINING BALLS TO THE WALLS!⁣

Losing weight and getting into shape doesn't have to be go hard or go home, push push push and exhausting yourself before January has even got started.⁣

DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON SUPPLEMENTS⁣

You aren't going to find the magic fat burning answer in supplements. ⁣

Yes, they might help assist your overall progress. ⁣
Yes, the hard mother fu***rs at the gym might be all up in your grid about them. ⁣
Yes, they may be advertised what seems like everywhere at the moment on social media. Just remember - those with a big following are often PAID to promote this stuff without even using these pills, shakes and magic juice themselves.⁣

NO NEED TO ADOPT A COMPLEX DIET⁣

You don't need to buy into the latest fad diet, restrict food groups or starve yourself.⁣

YOU DON'T NEED TO TRAIN TOO HARD⁣

You might be behaving in a counter-productive way by training to the max each day. Rest and recovery is the new sexy in 2020 along with maximising your workouts by training efficiently.⁣

WORK OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU⁣

I always get my clients to go through in-depth testing when it comes to their health. We get a clear picture of the truth behind your health markers and we are able to create a plan of eating, training, supplementing and new habits that will leave you feeling better than you did in your '20s. Find out what foods for you ⁣
