Mismanaged Emotions and Destructive Actions
*The concept of mismanaged emotions and poor health was originally written as a section in my book, Heavy Brain. It became such a large body of writing that I removed it from the book and decided it would need to be an entirely separate writing in the future. This a very high-level breakdown of whatContinue reading “Mismanaged Emotions and Destructive Actions”
Are You Sculpting Your Success?
Are the actions you’re taking today building upon those you took yesterday? If so, how? That is a question that you should answer with great clarity if consistent progress is your goal. Growth doesn’t need to happen linearly, like putting a little more weight ‘on the bar’ each workout. You can also build by addingContinue reading “Are You Sculpting Your Success?”
Is Time Restricted Eating (Intermittent Fasting) a ‘Bust’?
Does time-restricted eating (otherwise known as ‘intermittent fasting’) work? Like most things, the answer is ‘it depends’. When a person asks me if s/he should add TRE into their dietary routine, I ask a simple question: are you the type of person who can go several hours without eating and then move into a steadyContinue reading “Is Time Restricted Eating (Intermittent Fasting) a ‘Bust’?”
The Spark: Why you need to stop waiting for the moment that is never coming
This picture was of me when I was 14 years old. I’m pretty sure I have 110lbs on the bar, my form was terrible, and lifting these weights was a struggle. I bought this rickety old bench and barbell from a garage sale down the street, and before I had plates for it, I’d useContinue reading “The Spark: Why you need to stop waiting for the moment that is never coming”

Up-Cycle Your Mind for Peak Fitness Results
In order to unlock your true fitness potential, you must first get your mind ‘unstuck.’ There are layers to progress when it comes to your body, and any skipped steps will result in eventual relapse. Building a strong, resilient mind is critical for overcoming emotional turmoil, unwarranted feelings of failure, and the all-to-common self-sabotage.

How Pain and Impulse Determines Our Weight
When it comes down to it, the most potent factors that determine success or failure in your fitness intersect at pain and impulse. The more pain you are in, the more time you will spend distracting, numbing, and stimulating your mind. You will do this with food, alcohol, technological distraction, and other forms of ‘laziness.’Continue reading “How Pain and Impulse Determines Our Weight”
How to Manage your Meals for Greater Fat Loss (and greater appetite control)
There are many reasons a person may struggle to make healthy meals for him or herself. Lack of cooking skills, motivations for unhealthy eating, and even confusion about what constitutes healthy food can all play a role. The truth is that formulating healthy meals that work for your body is quite simple, and in thisContinue reading “How to Manage your Meals for Greater Fat Loss (and greater appetite control)”
Why We Eat
‘Fit’ people often see an overweight individual and make classic assumptions. This person must be weak, uncommitted, and clearly does not care about her health. This is an uneducated judgement. A judgement that can only be made by a person who does not understand even himself. Sick people want to be healthy. Poor people wantContinue reading “Why We Eat”
