I didn’t want to let the day go by 11/11 without sharing how thankful I am for my 9 years of sobriety and congratulate all those who have overcome their own addictions, whether it’s 1 day or 100+!

For those thinking about starting their own journey, Today is the Day!

I’m a pretty good listener and am always here to support those who just need someone to listen.

Anybody who’s been down this road is more than happy to offer support, you’re not alone.

In Health

PART A

Curious what you can learn about yourself when wearing a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor)?

I had some fun with this experimenting on myself today - all in the name of science 😂

Sometimes what we think of as healthy may not be all it's cut out to be - often depends on context.

*Full Disclosure, I wasn't feeling so great after this experiment and my lunch time one which involved Rice Krispie Treats (that one will be in Part B)

Rest and Sleep

Movement isn’t optional when you’ve got a hound staring at you 👀

If you don’t give your dog its daily movement, it’ll drive you nuts (and probably chew through your shoes 😅).

Truth is, we’re not much different.

Movement is medicine—whether it’s a walk with your pup, a stretch break between calls, or chasing your kids around the yard.

Everyone starts from where they are… but those steps add up. 🚶‍♂️🐕

Every busy man knows how the day runs away once it starts.
That’s why the smartest move you can make is before the stress kicks in:
☕ Coffee in hand.
🌞 Sunrise in your eyes.
5–10 minutes, that’s it.
Your body thanks you later with deeper sleep, lower inflammation, and a belly that no longer fights back against your belt.
Call it the most productive meeting of your day—between you, your coffee, and the sun.

Walking on the beach lowers inflammation 🌊🐦

Science shows that stress and inflammation are best friends — and visceral fat is their favorite hangout spot.

That belly fat doesn’t just sit there, it pumps inflammatory chemicals through your body 24/7.

Now here’s the magic: when you walk barefoot on the beach, a few things happen:

✅ The negative ions in ocean air calm your nervous system.
✅ The rhythmic waves and movement lower cortisol.
✅ Direct contact with the earth (grounding) helps balance your body’s electrical charge.

Result? Less systemic inflammation → better blood sugar control → reduced visceral fat storage.

Even this little bird knows: movement + nature = medicine.

👉 Next time you want to fight belly fat and inflammation, skip the treadmill and take a walk by the water.

* No water? The forest or a park work great too

🔥 Your First Meal = Your Daily Edge 🔥

Here’s the truth most people don’t want to hear:
Your first meal sets the tone for your entire day.

Start your morning with cereal, bagels, or oatmeal? You’re pouring sugar on the fire. It feels good for about 30 minutes… then you’re yawning, craving coffee, and wondering why you’re starving by 10am.

But start with protein + fat — 35–50 grams of quality protein (think steak and eggs) — and everything changes.

✅ Your blood sugar stays stable.
✅ Energy doesn’t crash.
✅ Hunger stays in check.
✅ Focus stays sharp.

Do it for 7 days and watch what happens:

* That mid-morning “I need a snack” disappears.
* The brain fog lifts.
* Your belt feels a little looser.
* You start showing up differently at work, at the gym, and at home.

This isn’t a diet. It’s not punishment.
It’s about fueling your body like it was designed to be fueled.

So here’s my challenge to you:
👉 Swap the carbs for protein + fat at breakfast for 7 days.
👉 Pay attention to how you feel by lunch.
👉 If you like the difference — keep it rolling into lunch and dinner.

You’ll be shocked how quickly the belly fat (that’s really just inflammation) starts to lose its grip once you stop feeding the fire.

⚡️ Start the day strong. Perform at your peak. Fuel like a man built for more.

Right now, if you’re healthy, your body only has about "1 teaspoon (4 grams)" of sugar in your entire bloodstream.

That’s the sweet spot your body works hard to maintain.

Now imagine what happens when you start pouring more sugar in through sodas, bread, cereal, “healthy” granola bars, pasta, or even that giant bowl of rice.

Your body has to scramble to move the extra sugar somewhere.

First stop? Your muscles and liver—they store it as glycogen. But those tanks fill up quick.

After that? It’s converted and stored as fat.

And when your system gets overwhelmed and can’t clear it fast enough, the sugar builds up in your blood.

That’s when damage starts—think inflammation, damaged blood vessels, insulin resistance… the road to diabetes.

👉 Fun fact: It doesn’t matter if it’s soda, orange juice, or “organic agave” — once it hits your bloodstream, your body only sees one thing: "Glucose"

👉 And those so-called “healthy” foods? Rice cakes, gluten-free crackers, oatmeal, even some smoothies — your body breaks them down into sugar just the same.

Here’s the kicker: there’s no such thing as being “a little diabetic.” Just like you can’t be “a little pregnant.”

Either your body is keeping blood sugar in balance… or it’s not.

So next time you see that one teaspoon, remember — you’re only ever one step away from tipping the balance.

The good news? You can absolutely turn it around with the right nutrition and lifestyle shifts.

I’ve seen hundreds of people do it.

Men — that belly isn’t just a “beer gut” or “dad bod.”

It’s visceral fat… the toxic kind that wraps around your organs and pumps inflammation through your whole body.

Inflammation is the silent spark behind nearly every disease men face today:

• Diabetes & heart disease
• Joint & muscle pain
• Fatigue, brain fog & ED
• Enlarged prostate, arthritis, even Alzheimer’s and cancers

That belly isn’t about vanity — it’s about survival.

But here’s the thing: this isn’t permanent. You can change it.

By shifting what you put into your body (nutrition), your mind (stress), and your daily life (lifestyle), you can reverse the fire and reclaim the energy and vitality you thought was gone forever.

This weekend I’ve opened 3 spots for men ready to drop the fat and reignite their energy.

👉 Book your spot before Sunday night.

HOW TO CLAIM YOUR FREE CONSULTATION? Just shoot me a quick DM before the end of Sunday and I’ll send you a personal link to book a call directly with me.

“What if it’s simpler than you think? What if just changing what you put into your body and how you start your day could turn back the clock — giving you the energy, clarity, and drive you once had?

The man you want to be is still in there. He just needs you to take the first step.”

You don’t need another diet. You need more protein.

Most men think protein is just for muscle… but it’s the foundation of energy, focus, and fat loss.

When you consistently hit at least 100 grams a day (about 30–35 grams per meal), you’re giving your body what it needs to:

💪 Build and keep muscle (your best fat-burning engine)
⚡ Boost energy and metabolism for better body composition
🧠 Think clearer, sleep deeper, and feel sharper
🛡️ Repair, restore, and reduce inflammation at the cellular level

This isn’t about dieting.

It’s about fueling your body so you can stay leaner, stronger, and full of energy — to show up fully for every workout, adventure, and milestone in life.

Ever wonder why your “pure spring water” tastes like it’s been aged in a plastic barrel?

Those bottles aren’t just hydrating you — they’re marinating you in microplastics and forever chemicals. 🥴

💡 Tip: If it’s been baking outside like a forgotten grocery store rotisserie chicken, skip it.
