I’m sitting down to review the results from my Executive Health Scan bloodwork. Previously, I filmed a video where I underwent lab testing and discussed why regular bloodwork is essential for monitoring health.

While I typically get my labs done quarterly, this scan included a much more comprehensive panel. In addition to my standard tests, samples were sent to Boston Heart Health for further analysis. In this video, I’ll break down each result, explain what it means, and discuss why these markers matter to you.

If you’ve ever wondered what your bloodwork panels actually reveal about your health – or just want to be nosy and know what’s going on with my health – this video is for you. I’ll take a deep dive into every marker from my Executive Health Scan to help you better understand your own labs.

@ClioSnacks Greek Yogurt Bars.

At 140 calories and 9g of protein, they outperform even my cherished Yasso bars in terms of macros.

In gauging the appeal of a product, I rely on my girlfriend as the ultimate Litmus Test. Her preferences often reflect those of the general population. Conversely, as a certified Meathead, I’m open to consuming almost anything with favorable macros and a tolerable taste.

That being said, while she isn’t a huge fan of Yasso bars, Clio bars have won her heart.

Have you tried Clio Greek Yogurt Bars – do you like them?

Steak color variations are a result of oxidation, a natural process where oxygen interacts with myoglobin in the beef. This can cause the meat to change from red to purple, gray, or other colors, and it’s unrelated to the cow’s diet.

It’s ironic that Paul is attributing this color change (and subsequent nutritional desirability) to grass, considering he’s publicly dismissed the nutritional value of vegetables and often demonizes them on social media.

I know that Paul has made the claim that cattle can absorb nutrients from plants but… human beings are omnivores – we are able to garner nutrients from BOTH vegetables and meat sources.

Regarding Paul’s points on regenerative farming… I’m cautiously optimistic. However, without proper regulation, there’s currently no accountability for farms using terms like organic, regenerative, or restorative.

This post is misleading nonsense.

You shouldn’t be progressively overloading in the gym.

SIKE… That’s just clickbait. Here’s what you actually shouldn’t be doing:

You shouldn’t be adding 20lbs to your working weight every session. You also shouldn’t be adding 10 reps each time you lift. Progress doesn’t happen that fast—it’s much more gradual. Real progress looks like adding 2.5 lbs per side or maybe just 1 more rep per week on a lift.

If you’re progressing too quickly, you’re likely not pushing yourself hard enough in the first place.

But hey, if you realize you’ve been holding back, don’t dwell on it—just make a change. Moving forward, you need to truly challenge yourself. Progress will slow down, and every small improvement will take more effort.

Most weeks, I’m fighting for 5 more pounds or 1 extra rep on each set of an exercise.

That’s a good thing. Slower progress means you’re working at the right intensity and actually pushing yourself in the gym. This is true progressive overload and this is where change happens.
