Eating less to lose weight is short-term and rarely sustainable for most people.

I teach people how to eat MORE food and to make that food balanced so it contributes to lower insulin and glucose levels.

Less insulin and glucose means less fat storage.

So you can eat more, not gain weight, and actually begin to burn stored fat.

Colin is our fourth and final small group facilitator for the Embodied Masculinity program starting January 6th 2026. His journey to somatics, and Luis, started with a nail gun, and the pain resulting from repetitive use. He realized he was holding tension around accuracy in physical labor, and relationally around important topics. Somatics helped show him how to hold his body through work and relationships in a way that was easeful, not painful.

Luis invites Colin to share what he loves about being a facilitator in the Embodied Masculinity slow group. Colin relishes the opportunity to witness men testing the container of the group, sharing what is vulnerable and often long hidden. These shares resonate with others and a tenderness in the group emerges.

And there is something we can do about it now.

My men's group begins in January and runs for 6 months. In it, I will teach you how to redevelop many of the senses you never got to due to an unsupported puberty.

Reclaiming your masculinity, tending to emotions before mast*rbating, reducing and removing p**n from your life, and rebuilding your connection to men in a new way for support and guidance.

I've started intermittent fasting again after years of stopping.

Fasting can increase fight/flight hormones which results in higher symptoms of anxiety, irritability, depression, and even insomnia for some people.

This is often due to poor metabolic flexibility (the ability to use fat as fuel vs. carbs/glucose) and a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates.

After years of following a bean-based diet I have a calmer body and am able to intentionally fast in the morning. At least for now.

I'm aware that my body works in cycles and seasons. Fall is asking this of my body now. Who knows when it will change.

This meal has been my lunch, my first fast breaking meal. It is:

2 eggs fried into an omelet with olive oil
1 tomato lightly pan cooked
1/2 avocado
1/2c black beans
a big scoop of steamed broccoli and sauteed sweet potatoes

And my body is happy. It feels delicious. The fats are so calming, so supportive, and so grounding. They balance my hormones and nourish my brain and nerves.

The beans and sweet potatoes work together to provide sustainable energy throughout my day as complex carbs.

All the plant fibers from the avocado, tomatoes, broccoli, potatoes, and beans feed my microbiome.

Their spectrum of colors offer my body a diverse variety of antioxidants to protect my cells.

This meal gives me so much nourishment, flavor, and delight. It is the perfect way for me to break my daily 16 hour fast and seems to contribute, even more, to my capacity to continue doing so.

Instead of focusing on calories, exercise, and portions I have found way more success with people losing weight when they learn about insulin, adrenaline, and eating foods that transform their biochemistry.

Balancing through eating MORE foods, not less, is just one thing that makes my approach very different from others.

My book will teach you all about this, and beyond, when it comes out in late April.

For now, come join me for this free FOOD THERAPY session on Tuesday January 13th @ 10am EST.

Do YOU know any gay men in long term relationships who aren’t hooking up on s*x apps?

Al Romano, Naveed Heydari, Tim Paula, and Rio Allen join Luis for a collaborative conversation about s*x apps in the gay community, and what men really want.

Men are conditioned to discover their s*xuality as boys, isolated with p**n. And yet, all bodies want security, touch ,and connection. Corporations prey upon this conditioning and need with s*x apps that dehumanize and objectify men, gamifying their arousal and isolation with quick dissociated hook-ups.

Where did gay men meet before Covid? Gay bars. Where are they meeting now? Gay s*x apps. How can we intentionally create spaces beyond the talons of corporate predation, objectification and addictive patterns?

This is the result of developmental trauma that goes unaddressed.

It even goes unaddressed in our society due to hookup culture being, primarily, designed by men and how men prefer to engage s*xually.

It's a branch of actual toxic masculinity that serves no one to take part in.

And I used to thrive on it, until I could feel my own heart breaking each time.

Join me and an international group of men practice a new way of being, together.

It's an interesting experience to be a man, see men do awful things growing up, be told by everyone around you that men suck, and somehow not end up hating yourself.

This is why men-only spaces need to exist in the healing world: so we can create new models of masculinity.

Somatics is a brilliant one because it gets men in their bodies to *feel* what they carry instead of talk about it, try to fix it, or hide it out of shame.

By going inwards, together, we can transform so many stereotypes and even wounds around being male and masculine.

A man who represses his masculine will often end up hating himself. I know I did.

This was especially hard for me as a bis*xual, inters*x man.

So I invite all men to join me in my upcoming 6 month group where I'll teach you different somatic techniques, in a group container, that can help you:

- recover from p**n addiction
- reclaim your unsupported puberty years
- feel emotions and learn how to express them
- embody your s*x life
- find safety and connection with other men

Registration closes in two weeks so please join now: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/slow-practice-mens-group
