Glycine isn’t just another sleep supplement. It’s a small amino acid with powerful effects on sleep quality and recovery—especially for high performers who struggle with fragmented or light sleep.

If you’re tracking your sleep metrics but still struggling to get truly restorative rest, glycine could be a game-changer.

💬 Comment “SLEEP” to get my free clinician-grade guide on using glycine—and other evidence-based strategies—to optimize your sleep architecture and recovery.

Everyone loves to reference Elon Musk getting by on 4 hours of sleep.

But what most people don’t know is that there’s a rare genetic mutation—the DEC2 gene variant—that allows a very small fraction of the population to function optimally on significantly less sleep.

Elon might have it.
You probably don’t.

For the rest of us, skimping on sleep isn’t a flex—it’s a liability.

Cognitive speed, emotional control, hormone production, and physical recovery all depend on high-quality, adequate sleep.
If you're chasing performance, ignoring your sleep architecture is like running a race in sandbags.

💤 Want to optimize your sleep for recovery, resilience, and results?
Comment “SLEEP” and I’ll send you a free guide to help you do exactly that.

Shout out to my client Natalie!

6 weeks ago Natalie messaged me asking for help and she came in for a consult.

She wasn't able to do a full lunge, a full ROM goblet squat, and was severely imbalanced on her leg extensions due to an injury that had her favoring her right leg.

In just 6 weeks, using proper frequency and intensity, we've made some MAJOR improvements.

She's doubled her leg extension weight and almost evened out her leg strength.

She quadrupled her leg press weight.

She's going ass to grass on heel elevated goblet squats.

She's doing full ROM lunges WITH WEIGHT!

But on the side you don't see, Natalie has also made some major improvements to her health.

She was barely averaging 1000 calories a day, was very inconsistent with her intake, low protein, and thought carbs were the enemy.

We ran her bloodwork and it showed she was nearly anemic and her thyroid was deregulated. We made some dietary changes to try to fix these BEFORE looking towards drugs or supplements.

She's now consistently eating 1700-1800 calories every day, protein is on point, and carbs are up - helping her to fuel these workouts.

She hasn't gained a pound.
If you're looking to see these same improvements Natalie is enjoying, DM me for a free consultation! Either in person or virtually.

You track your macros. You lift with intent. You optimize light exposure and magnesium intake.

But you’re still not waking up restored.
The issue? It’s not your effort. It’s your sleep architecture.

DSIP (Delta Sleep-Inducing Peptide) is a lesser-known but powerful tool for professionals whose sleep is disrupted by stress, travel, cortisol imbalances, or relentless output. It doesn’t sedate—it modulates. And for the right person, it can radically upgrade recovery, hormone output, and cognition.

This isn’t a mainstream hack. It’s a clinical-level tool that high performers are quietly using to level up.

Most people trying to change their body are focused on workouts and macros—but ignoring sleep is one of the biggest mistakes.

💤 Sleep is when your body rebuilds muscle. Without it, your training doesn’t pay off.
🔥 Poor sleep raises cortisol and messes with insulin—making fat storage easier and fat burning harder.
📉 Sleep-deprived people in a calorie deficit lose more muscle than fat.
🧬 Recovery hormones like growth hormone and testosterone peak during deep sleep—miss that, and you miss progress.
🍕 Sleep loss throws off hunger hormones, spikes cravings, and destroys dietary control.

Sleep is the multiplier for every other input. Start taking it seriously.

If you're chasing muscle but skipping the weights, you're driving with the parking brake on.

Resistance training isn’t just a good idea — it’s the requirement if you want to build muscle efficiently. Get your strength sessions in, then move how you like the rest of the week.

Don’t confuse motion with progress. Use the right tool for the job.

We’re arguing about food dye while ignoring the fact that the whole food is junk.
Removing Red 40 doesn’t make soda a health drink.
Taking yellow dye out of cereal doesn’t make it a good breakfast.
Stop getting distracted by the details — zoom out.

Fix the foundation before fine-tuning.

You’ve been told to fear the sun.

But the truth is, your body is biologically wired to need sunlight — not just for vitamin D, but for metabolism, hormones, recovery, and focus.

☀️ UV exposure, when used strategically (not excessively), becomes a powerful tool for fat loss, muscle growth, better sleep, and even skin health.

This isn’t about tanning.
It’s about using light the way your body expects it.

Swipe through to learn how to use sunlight like a professional-grade supplement — daily, smart, and effective.

📉 Starving isn’t progress. Overeating isn’t growth.

Too many people are stuck in a loop of extremes — under-fueling, then over-correcting.
Neither will get you where you want to go.
The real flex? Eating with clarity, training with purpose, and building a body that actually works for your life.

👉 Save this.
👉 Share it.
Someone in your circle needs to hear this today.

You don’t fail at tracking because you’re lazy — you fail because your food is too complex.

If you’re a busy professional trying to stay on track, but your meals aren’t “Tupperware clean,” you’re not alone.

🍝 Spaghetti?
🍗 Rotisserie chicken with bones?
🌮 Taco night?

These are real meals from real life — not fitness robot food.

But here's the truth:
- Tracking doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be possible.

That’s why my clients simplify their meals just enough to stay consistent — without giving up flavor, flexibility, or fun.

If you're done letting food tracking derail your results, this post is for you.
👇 Comment “SIMPLIFY” or DM me and I’ll show you how to make it effortless.

Did I miss anything? Questions?

06/18/2025

Why would the people trying to be the biggest, strongest, leanest people on the planet do such horrible things?!?!?

The truth is that the bodybuilding industry is years ahead of the general medical community when it comes to training, nutrition, supplements, and drugs.

Pay attention.
