📍TRAVELING? STUCK WITH FAST FOOD? READ THIS 👇

One of my clients on our group call last week asked:

"Dave, what do I do when I’m traveling, and all I see are fast food joints?"

Now, you and I both know that the drive-thru life isn’t ideal…

But sometimes, when you're staring down a glowing sign for McDonald's at 9pm in the middle of nowhere, you’ve gotta play defense.

So, here's my motto for situations like this:

“Make the best out of a bad situation — then move on.”

That means sticking with REAL FOOD principles even when your options are limited.

🔥 Bunless burgers (skip the sauces & cheese)
🔥 Grilled chicken over lettuce (ditch the dressing)
🔥 Double protein bowls (think Chipotle-style: greens, chicken, avocado)
🔥 Apple slices, plain baked potatoes, side salads
🔥 Grocery store hacks: cooked chicken, berries, olives, guac cups, carrots, clean deli meat

We’re not chasing perfect. We’re chasing non-inflammatory, ancestrally aligned, and less processed.

And when it comes to packing your own fuel, keep it simple:

🥑 Avocados, olives, coconut butter
🐓 Grilled chicken or turkey
🐟 Wild salmon or mackerel
🌰 Nuts & seeds (macadamia, Brazil, pumpkin)
🥥 Coconut chips, tahini, guac packs

No need for a PhD in nutrition—just eat how humans ate before we invented drive-thrus, preservatives, and flavor dust.

💡 Pro tip: Keep travel packs of olive oil, lemon wedges, and sea salt in your bag.
You'll be shocked how easy it is to upgrade a sad salad into a healing meal.

🔥 “It’s OK to Eat Meat” 🔥

No, seriously. Steak on the grill? That’s not the problem.

We’ve been eating meat for hundreds of thousands of years—it built our brains, our bodies, and our tribes.

It’s only in the last century that things started going sideways…

Not because of the meat.

Because we started pairing it with:

❌ Seed oils
❌ Bleached buns
❌ High-fructose soda
❌ Fries fried in canola sludge
❌ Ultra-processed everything

And somehow meat took the blame?

Let’s set the record straight.

Meat—especially from pasture-raised, grass-fed animals—is one of the most nutrient-dense, satiating foods on the planet.

It stabilizes blood sugar.
It satisfies hunger naturally.
It supports lean muscle and a healthy metabolism.
It’s the original body recomposition food.

When you build meals around quality protein and real food fats—not the junk that rides shotgun in the Standard American Diet—you don’t just feel better…

You become better.
More energized. Leaner. Clearer. Stronger.

Meat isn’t the villain. It’s the foundation.

So fire up that grill, honor your biology, and fuel your healing.

🎯 The #1 Reason to Get Healthy?

It’s not about six-pack abs.
Or squeezing back into your high school jeans.

It’s about avoiding this circus:

📞 37 minutes on hold for a 7-minute appointment
🚗 Driving across town to sit in a waiting room full of expired Highlights magazines
💊 Collecting prescriptions like they’re Pokémon cards
👨‍⚕️ Explaining your symptoms to 4 specialists who don’t even talk to each other

There’s a better way...

🥩 Eat real food
🧘‍♂️ Handle your stress
😴 Prioritize sleep
🚶‍♀️ Move your body daily

Get consistent, and watch how fast you become “too boring” for the medical system.

🚨 Check Engine Light Came On… So I Grabbed a Roll of Duct Tape. Problem Solved, Right? 😅

Last night, my Jeep’s engine light popped on.

Could I have slapped some tape over it and hoped for the best?

Sure.

But that’s no different than what most of us do with our health…

We pop a pill.
We down another energy drink.
We ignore the signs — the stubborn belly fat, the high A1C, the fatigue, the brain fog, the high blood pressure — and we just… keep driving.

Until something breaks.

In this video, I’m literally under the hood of my Jeep talking about why the real fix is looking deeper — under your hood.

That’s where the root causes live… and that’s where real health begins.

✅ If you're tired of patch jobs and quick fixes...
✅ If your body’s been flashing warning lights…
✅ If you know something's off but aren’t sure where to start…

Drop your "warning light" in the comments or shoot me a message.

I help people figure out what’s really going on with their high blood sugar and inability to lose fat, then how to fix it from the inside out — like a mechanic for your metabolism.

Let’s get you back on the road — strong, tuned up, and running smooth.

🥴 Bloating and Cramping After Meals? That’s Not Normal.

It might be common but it’s far from normal.

If your gut throws a tantrum after eating, it could be a simple fix—not a life sentence.

Try these old-school (but powerful) digestion hacks:

✅ Low stomach acid? Try 1 tsp+ of apple cider vinegar in water before meals

✅ Add bitter greens like arugula or dandelion to your plate

✅ Use digestive bitters before eating to fire up your gut

✅ Chew your food 30 times—yes, really! Let your teeth do their job

✅ Slow down—eat in a relaxed, parasympathetic state

✅ Skip the tall glass of water with meals—it can dilute stomach acid

💧Feeling Sluggish? Craving Sugar? You Might Just Be Dehydrated.💧

Before you reach for that snack or coffee refill… ask yourself:

“When’s the last time I had a glass of real, mineral-rich water?”

Hydration isn’t just about water. It’s about getting the right balance of fluids and electrolytes to support energy, brain function, and even reduce those annoying sugar cravings.

Here’s a simple rule of thumb 👉 drink half your body weight in ounces daily.

(So if you're 160 lbs, aim for 80 oz — and yes, that includes broths, fruits, and herbal teas too.)

BUT… adjust for your reality:

☀️ Hot day?
🏃‍♂️ Sweaty workout?
✈️ Dry airplane air?
You’ll need more.

🧂Pro tip: Add high-quality electrolytes — or a pinch of sea salt + squeeze of lemon — to boost absorption and keep your cells truly hydrated.

❌ Skip the tap water — it’s often loaded with contaminants your body has to detox.

Your body’s not crying for carbs… it’s likely just begging for water.

🥚 Spoiler Alert: What’s in an Egg?

Real food doesn’t need a label.

An egg? Ingredient list: egg.

Loaded with protein, choline, B12, and vitamin D etc.—no additives, no fillers, no B.S.

But let’s be real—life happens. Sometimes you’re buying things with a label. That’s OK.

Just flip the box. Read the ingredients.

If it sounds like something your grandma used, go for it.

If it reads like a chemistry experiment... maybe not today.

You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be aware.

Real food = real healing. One label at a time. 💪

🎥 Watch the video and have a laugh… then go check your pantry.
