I was born naked 51 yrs ago.
For today’s birthday post I put on pants :-)
If you’re brave, swipe left to see the same person 7+ years ago.

This is what I did 7 years ago, obese and 20+ kg overweight:

Phase 1: the endocrine stage (Q4 2018)

-Adopted a low carb, high fat diet,
-Established an 8 hour eating window,
-Walked 60 minutes/day,
-Removed man-made cosmetics and personal hygiene products.

Phase 2: the biophysics stage (2023)
I added to the mix…
-Maximum daylight exposure,
-Solar callus building and progressive UV exposure,
-Red/Near infrared therapy,
-Cold thermogenesis,
-Extended fasting,
-Grounding,
-Qelby irradiated water consumption,
-Reduced wifi and nnEMF exposure,
-Religiously entrained circadian rhythms.

More recently:
-Introduced Heavy Hands to increase my VO2 max and recruit upper body muscle groups,
-Added Lifewave patches (patch for increased Glutathione production in shot; X39 for stem cell production out of shot),
-Added wild fruit in summer months.

The Health Jigsaw Puzzle is elaborate and wide-reaching so I’ll continue to learn and explore and test.

Let me know in the comments:
-What do you suggest the next piece of the jigsaw puzzle should be?
-Which of the above pieces have you built into your systems?
-Or just wish me a Happy Birthday :-)

Doctors aren’t telling you the full truth about weight loss with Ozempic.

Yes, it can suppress appetite.

But the part they don’t talk about?

The cost.

→ Nausea. Bloating. Diarrhea.
→ Muscle loss from rapid weight drop
→ Gallstones from excess cholesterol release
→ Accelerated facial aging (“Ozempic Face”)
→ And in rare cases: kidney damage, thyroid risks, even suicidal thoughts

This isn’t fear-mongering.

These are documented side effects of long-term GLP-1 use.

And yet, it’s being handed out like a miracle fix.

Here’s the truth:

You don’t need to drug your biology into submission to lose fat.

You can work with it.

Because when your sleep and hormones are aligned:

→ Hunger stabilizes
→ Cravings drop
→ Metabolism resets
→ And fat loss feels natural again

If you’re over 40 and want to lose stubborn weight…

Without needles…

Without the side effects…

Start with my 5-Day Sleep Fat Loss Method.

It’s the same foundation I teach to real men and women in midlife to restore their biology and get lean, the right way.

You're tired after 8 hours because your body doesn't know when it’s supposed to sleep.

Most people focus on what they do before bed…
.. but what you do first thing in the morning plays an even bigger role in how well you sleep.

Why?

Because your brain’s waste-cleaning system, the glymphatic system, is regulated by light.

That means if you don’t get morning sunlight…

Your brain struggles to flush out toxins later that night.

Here’s how to fix it (and what I teach in the 5-Day Sleep Method):

→ Get 5 to 10 minutes of natural sunlight as early as possible
→ Ditch sunglasses and glass barriers, let the light hit your eyes
→ Anchor your internal clock so your brain knows when to rest and repair

You'll have:

→ Better sleep
→ Sharper focus
→ Lower inflammation
→ And a brain that wakes up cleaner every day

So if you want to reset your sleep and support your glymphatic health,

Ever heard of the glymphatic system?

It’s your brain’s overnight cleaning crew.

Every day, your brain generates waste, including proteins like amyloid beta and tau, which are linked to Alzheimer’s.

But here’s the catch:

The system that clears this waste only works properly when you’re asleep.

Specifically, during deep, slow-wave sleep, waves of cerebrospinal fluid pulse through your brain like a rinse cycle, flushing out neurotoxins and clearing metabolic clutter.

When you don’t sleep well (or sleep deeply enough):

→ That clean-up doesn’t happen
→ Toxins build up
→ Cognitive decline may accelerate over time

And no one “good night” doesn’t undo a bad week.

Studies show even a single night of sleep loss can slow down brain clearance, and the effects linger.

That’s why one of the core pillars of my 5-Day Sleep Method is about protecting and optimizing deep sleep.

Not just for energy or fat loss, but for long-term brain health.

9.5 cm off his waist in 3 months.

And he’s already 65% of the way to his personal goal.

Pascal didn’t follow a cookie-cutter program.

He followed a strategy built for his body, his routine, and his stage of life.

He didn’t starve.

He didn’t train 6 days a week.

And he didn’t rely on willpower.

He learned how to:

→ Support his sleep and circadian rhythm
→ Reduce inflammation through smarter food choices
→ Create habits he could sustain, even with a busy schedule

The result?

Steady, measurable progress and a body that finally feels like it’s cooperating again.

“What surprised me most was how simple it felt once we found the right rhythm. I don’t feel like I’m fighting myself anymore.”

Want to know the strategy Pascal used?

Message me “Pascal” and I’ll walk you through it.

12 weeks.

14 cm off his tummy.

And it wasn’t just about the weight.

JB came in carrying extra inflammation, fatigue, and what he called a “constant mental pull toward food.”

He didn’t need more motivation.

He needed a plan that worked with his body, not against it.

Here’s what changed:

→ Energy came back: no more dips through the day
→ Sleep deepened: without needing a strict 8.5-hour window
→ Aches and joint pain eased: gout-related stiffness vanished
→ Food stopped being a craving loop: meals became fuel, not fixation
→ Fasting (up to 36 hours) felt effortless. not forced

JB said, “This is probably the most important thing you can do, not just for your body, but your mindset, mood, and clarity.”

Swipe to see the numbers.

Then ask yourself:

What if 12 weeks from now, you felt like this?

At 50, I’m in the best shape of my life.

Not just physically.

Mentally. Energetically. Hormonally.

But 10 years ago?

I was in a very different place.

→ Sluggish every morning
→ Belly fat I couldn’t shift
→ Constant low-grade stress and brain fog

I assumed the answer was to push harder.

More cardio.

Fewer calories.

Fasting windows.

But none of it worked because I was fighting against a body that was already depleted.

The real shift happened when I stopped treating symptoms…
.. and started supporting my biology.

Here’s what actually worked:

→ Prioritising deep, restorative sleep
→ Resetting my circadian rhythm
→ Building midlife-specific habits I could sustain

From there,

Fat loss became easier.

Energy came back.

And I finally felt back in control again.

If you’re over 40 and feeling stuck…

It’s not too late.

In fact,

It’s the perfect time to shift gears.

It’s the foundation I wish I had when I started.

At 44, I made a decision.

Not a diet. Not a 30-day challenge.

An actual decision to go all in.

I’d been coasting for years...

Half-trying.

Half-committed.

Waiting for the “right time.”

Then one day I looked at myself and the stats...

Blood pressure. Waistline. Energy.

None of it was going in the right direction.

So I stopped dipping a toe in.

I got serious.

With my sleep. My habits. My mindset.

4 months later, I was down 20kg.

Not from starving.

Not from punishment workouts.

But from finally working with my body, not against it.

→ I fixed my sleep
→ Got my hormones back in rhythm
→ And built small habits that actually stuck

It started with one clear commitment:

“No more half-efforts.”

If you're at that turning point, tired of feeling stuck, DM me ‘all in’

I’ll share the exact steps I started with.

And if you’re not quite ready for the deep dive, that’s okay too.

In my early 40s, I had a moment in front of the mirror that stopped me.

Not out of vanity…

Out of frustration.

I was doing “okay” by most standards:

Decent job...

Decent habits...
.. but I didn’t feel good in my body.

→ Energy was low
→ Belly was expanding
→ Sleep was patchy

So I did what a lot of people try first: I cut back on carbs.

I didn’t go full keto or anything drastic...
.. Just started with a few easy changes.

And to my surprise…

I didn’t just feel better, I saw the change.

→ More morning energy
→ Less bloating
→ A slightly flatter waist

It wasn’t the full fix.

But it was a spark like that moment of "OK… my body still responds."

Looking back, the real breakthrough came when I focused on sleep and circadian rhythm.

That’s what unlocked the deeper shifts in fat loss, energy, and hormones.

But I’ll never forget that first small win.

If you’re in that early-40s phase, feeling stuck…

You don’t need a total overhaul.

You just need one shift to build momentum.

That’s what my 5-Day Sleep Method is built for.

👇 Comment below: What was your first small health win that made you believe change was possible?

13/08/2025

For most of my 30s, I was in full grind mode.

Early flights. Late nights. Big goals.

I told myself I could handle it.

Power through. Push harder.

That’s what success looked like, right?

Then one routine checkup changed everything.

My doctor said,
"You're showing early signs of metabolic syndrome."

I remember nodding politely but brushing it off.

I didn’t look unhealthy.

I was still getting stuff done.

Besides, I’d deal with it later.

What I didn’t realise was that my body was already burning out.

→ Sleep was shallow
→ Blood sugar was unstable
→ Belly fat was creeping in, no matter how “clean” I ate

That quiet warning turned out to be the turning point.

Because when I finally stopped trying to out-hustle my body and started working with it…

Everything changed.

I didn’t need more willpower.

I needed more restorative sleep, the kind that resets hormones, burns fat, and calms the nervous system overnight.

That’s why I created the 5-Day Sleep Method.

If you're in your 40s, juggling work, stress, and health…

This is a powerful place to start.
