TIMING MATTERS

🥵Sauna use after resistance training is recommended when the goal is muscle growth, as heat may enhance blood flow and stimulate heat shock protein activity that support muscle protein synthesis.

In contrast, cold plunging immediately after lifting can blunt anabolic signaling and reduce long-term hypertrophy; it’s better reserved for rest days, endurance sessions, or later in the day when recovery—not growth—is the priority.

☕️ Moderate, regular coffee consumption is strongly linked to increased longevity, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, and a slower rate of biological aging, largely due to high levels of polyphenols.

Key Takeaways:

Longevity: 1–3 cups daily can reduce the risk of all-cause mortality and slow down epigenetic aging.

Health Benefits: Coffee is a rich source of polyphenols that reduce chronic inflammation and support gut health.

Optimal Timing: Morning consumption is best, as late-day coffee can negatively disrupt sleep and negate some health benefits.

Fish Oils Reduce Anxiety

😣 “Anxiety and depressive scores improved by about 40% in the omega-3 group, with many participants shifting from severe to moderate or mild symptom ranges. Symptoms in the placebo group remained essentially unchanged.”

🐟 The omega-3 supplement provided two key fatty acids: eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 500 mg) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 250 mg). I personally take at least twice that amount of each daily. Make sure it is GMP certified for purity as many supplements are tainted with heavy metals.

SMILE!!!

😊 I challenge you to begin something simple. It might feel a bit uncomfortable for some at first—almost awkward—but stay with it. When you see someone walking past you at the store or work, make eye contact and smile. If it feels natural, even say quiet hello.

Some people won’t respond. Not because they are unkind, but because we’ve trained ourselves to look away, to move quickly, to stay guarded.

But others will smile back.

You’ll never know what people are carrying. Maybe they just had a fight with a friend. Maybe they received difficult news. Maybe they are simply tired. In that moment you might be the only person that day that not only acknowledges them, but presents a sense of joy.

It has been said that it takes less effort to smile than to frown. Regardless, one thing is certain, a smile changes the room. Put yourself out there and lead with joy!

Hey Bo, what are you doing?

“I’m hanging by the pool with the best dog mom ever. The only thing missing is a good book.”

I didn’t know you can read!

One of the most impressive traits of huskies is their ability to adapt to their environment. Bo is demonstrating how he learned to handle the Arizona desert winters when temperatures can drop into the 40’s.

STAY HUMBLE…

Intellectual arrogance is not only a state of ignorance, it’s a sure fire way to alienate people. Nobody likes a Know-It-All! The character trait I most admire in people is humility.

One time, the emperor of Rome, the most power man in the world, was seen carrying books. When asked where he was going, Marcus Aurelius said, “I’m off to see Sextus the philosopher to learn that which I do not know.”

Stay curious. Ask questions.

It’s ok to say “I don’t know,” but the truly wise will then do their best to go and find the answer.

Hey Bo, you need to come inside for the night.

“You need to find me first. You can’t see me because I blend into my surroundings.”

You realize you are lying in grass and not the snow, correct.

YES!

Omega-3 fatty acids are biologically linked to dementia risk because they are used to make signaling molecules that actively regulate inflammation, including inflammation within the brain. Chronic brain inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributor to neurodegeneration.

Only supplement with high quality sources that have been tested and are clear of heavy metal contamination!

EXERCISE FOR DEPRESSION

💪🏻Exercise may not be better than medications or psychological therapy for treating depression… but it’s just as good.

That’s the conclusion of a new meta-analysis, the largest and most rigorous review ever conducted on the effects of exercise for clinical depression.

It found that, compared to no treatment or placebo, exercise had moderate to large effects on reducing depression symptoms, and compared to psychotherapy (e.g., CBT) and antidepressants, there was little to no difference. Exercise wasn’t significantly better, but it wasn’t worse either.

For me personally, exercise has been a game changer. I’ve found it to be the most effective way to help me navigate both depression and anxiety. Just a little everyday can make a huge difference! 😊
