The Morning Brew I Love to Hate Right now, I’m choking down the same brutal potion every morning, and I mean choking. Here’s what’s in it: ½ tsp Amla 1 scoop Schisandra (because I’m stubbornly finishing the bag) ½ tsp Sarsaparilla 1 tbsp Creatine—yes, I know most say 5mg, but

My mornings are non-negotiable—they set the tone for my entire day, and over time, they’ve had a profound impact on my energy, clarity, and mindset. I start with red light therapy and meditation, using my Sensate to calm my nervous system and shift into a state of stillness...

I recently went to this incredible event called Eudemonia— and as part of it, I got a Function Health subscription. When the first test results came in, I wasn’t sure what to expect. No heavy metals. No red flags on the usual suspects. But then—mold toxicity.

I started taking amla powder—Indian gooseberry—after diving into the research. It’s over-the-counter, easy to find, and a four-month supply costs about 24 bucks. Just half a teaspoon a day. That’s it. And the impact?

Lifting Through a Fast: More Strength, Not Less One thing I’ve learned—lifting during a fast is not only possible, it can be incredibly empowering. I make it a point to stay active and keep my muscles firing, even when I’m not eating. And here’s the surprising part...

Fasting Isn’t a Fix-All—It Has to Work for You So maybe you decide, “I need to lose weight.” And your plan? Do a five-day fast, six times a year—every other month. Sounds disciplined. Sounds strategic. But here’s the thing…

The Most Effective Plan Is the One You’ll Actually Follow You’ve got to start with this question: What are your goals? Once you know where you're headed, the next step isn’t just asking, “What’s the most efficient or scientific way to get there?”

One person’s healthy meal can be another’s blood sugar nightmare. My ex-wife wore a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) to track how foods affected her. She’d make a white bean and watercress soup— something you'd assume was incredibly healthy. But her blood sugar readings...

Is My A1C Really High—Or Just Misleading? I found myself asking a question a lot of people might relate to: Am I truly pre-diabetic, or is my A1C just misleading me? My labs showed a higher-than-normal hemoglobin A1C, and for a while, I thought I was hovering in pre-diabetic..

Why I Started Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor—Even Without Diabetes I started using a continuous glucose monitor (CGM)—not because I had diabetes, but because my A1c levels (your 90-day blood sugar average) showed I was borderline pre-diabetic. That was a wake-up call...

Celsius is my guilty pleasure. After a recent fast, I felt incredible— clear, energized, refreshed. Then I cracked open a Celsius. Within minutes, my stomach twisted in pain. So I asked Dr. Michael Greger: "Are these sweeteners really that bad for me?" He laughed...

My protein shake routine has one golden rule: Either berries or banana— never both. Most days, berries win out. Antioxidants, low sugar, vibrant taste. But some mornings, I treat myself. I slice up a ripe banana, drop it in, and savor the creamy sweetness. On those days...

When fasting, I skip the supplements In the past, I’d rely on those traditional fasting salts— the potassium, magnesium, and sodium blends that taste like salty seawater. But recently, I found LMNT. It’s the same powerful electrolytes, but with a flavor that's...

Why Shorter Fasts Might Unlock Better Results Ever noticed how your body feels incredible at the start of a fast? On night one, sleep feels effortless—deep, restorative, and energizing. By night two, you're still flying high: clarity sharpens, energy soars, sleep feels...

Are You Leaving Dollars on the Ground to Pick Up Pennies When it Comes to Your Health? Are you moving your body daily—staying strong, staying flexible, staying vibrant? Are you fueling your body with food that truly nourishes you? But hold on—what does "good food" even mean?
