I hereby decree that any "cheat meal" must be homemade. You control the inputs. You are apart of the process. You enjoy it more. Don't outsource your nutrition to a restaurant. Their Sysco deliveries and exorbitant prices are the enemy. (whole belly clams fried in tallow,…

You're 5 minutes away from a total reality shift. Get outside. Play some music. Pick up a rope. Swing it around. Most people choose to be sedentary. They wonder why their back fills tight. They wonder where their love of life went. Movement and play is a portal to a new…

If you can spend 2+ hour becoming complacent you can spend 15 minutes learning to move like a human again. I went from scrolling social media during breaks to studying movement patterns that actually matter. You are your own doctor. The best medicine is taking action.
