What is Ketosis?

How to get into Ketosis?

What are the common mistakes?

What are the risks?

Ketosis is an effective weapon when used properly. 

Have you seen people drastically lose 80 pounds in one year? I bet a large percentage of them are following some sort of Ketogenic/carbohydrate-restricted diet. You may have seen them under the names of Atkins, Ideal Protein or simply low-carb dieting.

It’s becoming popular in a world full of people looking for a rapid change. The benefits of Ketosis are very similar to the benefits of fasting. It’s actually a safe process. Personally, I get into Ketosis as a way to cleanse and heal my body four times a year for a one-month period. Lifting weights and playing sports my entire life has left my...

Do you ever treat your body like shit and then need a way to recover after?

I’ve done this a lot in the past. It left me feeling drained, exhausted, and negative. I felt depressed about my life and my future.

Sometimes I just need a perfect 5 days to get my mind and body back in balance. Once I restore things on a chemical level, I can work effectively and enjoy my work. Otherwise, life is miserable.

Most of my methods for rapid weight loss or healing require a lot of discipline or tolerance. Some may even seem unusual or risky. This method isn’t jumping into an ice bath for 7 minutes, fasting for 7 days, or eliminating carbohydrates for several weeks. In fact, I challenge anyone to find something in this diet that is unhealthy or...

I’ve spent 15 years experimenting with nearly every alternative therapy on the planet. I’ve tried thousands of supplements and countless tests.

I recently met with a Functional Medicine MD to solve a lifelong bladder problem. This is an article about the testing methods, the supplements I am taking, and the lessons I learned.

Before I go any further I would like to remind you that my business has not changed. I coach private- personal training and group fitness and yoga classes. I am an expert on correcting movement, dosing out health and fitness programs to fit specific goals, and helping clients find the small changes that make the big impacts- as fast as possible. I feel like I'm getting more technically efficient at my job as...

I’m always looking for small sacrifices that generate a positive impact. It’s the simplest way to improve quality of life. It seems to me that about 20% of our day is actually productive while 80% is spent resting, playing, or performing tasks that seem productive but ultimately aren’t important. Our ability to focus on uncomfortable tasks seems to be the limiting factor. The habits in this post can improve your focus.

I teach classes that last 40 minutes. That is 2.8% of your day.  What a small sacrifice of time to get such a great return! I’ve tried the following things with myself and with clients. This stuff is safe, easy to do, cheap, and effective. Don’t bother measuring anything. I suggest setting an alarm in your phone or...

Like a lot of blogs on the internet, in the present day of information, it is nearly impossible to filter out all the irrelevant, the misleading, and the absolute wrong when it comes to Life, Motivation, Health, and Fitness. Over the past 15+ years, I have been trying to do exactly that. Whether it was working inside of a hospital, traveling across the globe, or constantly experimenting on myself or my willing clients and family members, I have been searching for the proven answers to all of these questions.  Where is the root of a human beings motivation? What is the ideal diet for any particular situation? What is the best way to train? How can I develop the most productive set of habits as well as break all the patterns that...
