Buried deep down inside of your DNA… … is a small collection of genes that influences whether you are a morning or a night person. Along with these genes are a few other key items to consider — hormones, sunlight, age, and even where on the planet you live. And if you’re naturally more active and productive at night… … then is there actually a way to override these biological and environmental inf...

If you’ve been brain-washed by decades of cardio-loving experts… … then you might be surprised to find out how and where “running” fits into your overall fitness plan. And where it fits, basically holds true no matter what unless you’re training for a specific race or a marathon (In that case then it all goes out the window). But at the end of the day, the question is this… “Is Jumping Rope a bett...

Back in the day, animals roamed free and ate grass, insects or other foods that were natural to them. So if you can picture a wild cow on a field 10,000 years ago, roaming free and chewing on grass and other edible plants… … you’ll notice that the meat from this cow from 10,000 years ago is way different than the meat from a “modern day” cow. Cow’s of the 21st century are born and raised in a fact...

I’m sure you can give me a thousand reasons (or more) of why you feel 2020’s been a crappy year for your mental health. And although 2020 has royally screwed with our heads, the reality is that… We’re multi-dimensional beings! And we never operate in just one single mental framework.

Not only that, but some other potential benefits include improved cardiovascular health and better support around the shoulder joints. And the reality is that practicing pushups (especially if done every day) does come with a few risks. So...

Running in place is mostly used as a part of a warmup before an exercise session… I’ve used it in the past and several of the trainer’s I’ve trained with have also incorporated this as the warmup… And let me tell you. In my opinion, it really gets juices going. It generally includes different agility drills like high knees, butt kicks, and jump squats. Some say it’s the greatest thing since sliced...

Inflammation is a vital part of the immune system’s response to injury and infection. It’s the body’s way of signaling the immune system to heal and repair damaged tissue… … as well as defend itself against foreign invaders, such as viruses and bacteria. Without inflammation, infections could become deadly. But if the inflammatory process goes on for too long… … or if the inflammatory response occ...

I’ve got a fun episode for you… … and here’s why! In our first segment we go into something that’s super near and dear to my heart. And it’s this… we talk about making “The Perfect Cup Of Coffee” because let’s be honest… Because Coffee is amazing! But not only that, caffeine has a lot of indirect health benefits. (Ask me “What benefits?” and I’ll call you out!) If you want to hear more details, yo...

When you don’t keep your blood pressure “in check” and you’re not really keeping an eye on your numbers, there’s a pretty good chance it’ll lead to some “not so great” health complications like heart disease or stroke. One of the best things you can do to conquer high blood pressure (or hypertension) is to keep your diet in check. So it shouldn’t surprise you that changing your diet to one that’s...

What do you do if you suspect having a hormonal imbalance... More importantly... what if you suspect your Testosterone levels are all "out of whack"? At one point I felt like I was suffering from an imbalance in my testosterone levels but when I started looking closer into this, it turned out to be something less drastic. On my little excursion to finding out what I was going through and how to ha...
