There’s a reason why C-Suite executives are hitting the gym: being fit is one of the most impressive accomplishments right now.

Staying in shape shows you’re putting in the effort—something money can’t buy. It commands respect and requires a level of dedication that many people lack.

If you’re new to fitness and unsure where to begin, start by asking yourself: Where am I now, and where do I want to be?

If you’re unhappy with your current state and want to make a change, begin by learning the language of nutrition and tracking your food intake.

When clients sign up for my coaching, they receive:

✅ Calorie guidelines
✅ Protein targets
✅ Fiber recommendations
✅ Meal templates
✅ Tracking education
✅ Menu reviews

In short, if you’re not satisfied with how you feel or look, start by learning the basics of nutrition and tracking your intake.

What are antioxidants and why are they important?

Antioxidants are naturally occurring molecules that help neutralize free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are produced in your body that cause diseases of aging such as dementia, diabetes, cancer, and cardiovascular disease.

You may lead a healthy lifestyle and limit things like alcohol and processed meat, however, your body produces free radicals while doing everyday tasks like converting food to energy and exercising.

That’s why antioxidants are essential in your diet. Here are some of my favorite foods to eat in order to boost my antioxidant intake:

🥦 Broccoli – packed with vitamin C, glucosinolates, lutein, zeaxanthin, and flavonoids.

🥬 Leafy greens – spinach, kale, and swiss chard are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin.

🍓 Berries – blueberries, strawberries, and blackberries are excellent sources of anthocyanins and vitamin C.

🍠 Sweet potatoes – packed with beta-carotene.

Product Review: @QuestNutrition Cheese Crackers.

I enjoy sharing product reviews, although people often assume they’re sponsored. In reality, many brands restrict posts about other products and I want to discuss all of my favorite brands freely.

That being said, here’s my genuine review of Quest Cheese Crackers.

The macros are decent with 130 calories and 10g of protein. While they don’t quite pass The Test, they do offer 5g of fiber.

The taste is excellent too. The cheese flavor is spot on, and the spicy varieties are always bonkers good. I’m usually not a fan of cheese-flavored protein products, but Quest has done a fantastic job with these crackers.

We have 6 weeks to summer.

I did a previous video talking about what I would do if I had 3 months to get in the best shape possible. But now, we only have 6 weeks. So, what would I do with this shortened time frame?

1️⃣ Focus on nutrition – The reality is that 6 weeks is not a lot of time to build muscle, so we need to shift our focus to fat loss.

Think about Brad Pitt in ‘Fight Club’ – he wasn’t built he was shredded and had low body fat. Most people would look better if they lost fat so that’s what we are prioritizing with our nutrition.

2️⃣ Tracking your food intake to ensure a calorie deficit and prioritize protein and fiber – We want to maintain a calorie deficit for fat loss and, to make this as painless as possible, we want to prioritize protein and fiber. Protein helps preserve muscle mass and both protein and fiber aids in satiety.

3️⃣ Get to the gym – Since we don’t have a lot of time, I would try to get to the gym 4x/week. As long as your routine is sustainable and you can commit to it.

People always ask me about @officialpureprotein protein bars.

First off, I think they taste excellent and the average consumer will enjoy them.

Secondly, most of them pass The Test and have stellar macros.

Third, I do think that they are an affordable option.

My one issue is that it does not have much fiber, it has about 1-2g of fiber meaning that after you have this protein bar, you will probably be hungry after.

My biggest piece of advice when it comes to protein bars – buy what you will eat and enjoy!

Greens powders are not a substitution for fruits and vegetables.

Look, greens powders are highly popular right now thanks to social media. Many people think this is a solid solution to not eating enough produce, but you are essentially buying a powdered multivitamin.

Thanks to the successful marketing, many consumers have been influenced to believe they can’t start their morning without their scoop of AG1… that’s simply not the case.

They aren’t evil – they just aren’t a substitute for the real thing.

It’s better to get your micronutrients from real fruits and vegetables for a number of reasons: feeling satiated with increased food volume, soluble fiber, polyphenol, antioxidants, adds variety to your diet.

I suggest to get your labs done and supplement as needed. No need to spend $ on this product if you have a well-rounded diet and good blood work.

Body fat and why it’s important.

A recent report published in The Lancet highlights a concerning trend: globally, 1 in 8 individuals are now classified as obese, surpassing a staggering 1 billion people. This alarming statistic underscores the heightened risks of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s disease faced by those grappling with excess body fat.

Obesity is now the #1 form of malnutrition on the planet. The situation is particularly shocking in the United States, where over 40% of adults battle obesity.

One of the most alarming statistics I’ve seen recently is that childhood obesity rates have tripled over the past three decades. Now, over 20% of children under 19 years of age are grappling with obesity.

The most proven statistical way to fight childhood obesity, is by setting the example and being in shape. Take control of your life now.
