I worked out first thing in the morning for 75 days straight, and it completely changed my body, my mind, and the way I show up in my life.

This wasn’t 75 days of crushing workouts. Some mornings were just five or ten minutes of mindful movement. But what happened over time surprised me more than anything I’ve experienced in my fitness journey.

My brain now craves morning movement. I wake up with joyful anticipation instead of stress. My baseline mood has increased. My productivity is higher. My mental toughness feels automatic. And most importantly, I have more quality time with the people I love.

As someone who has lived with asthma since birth and was told at four years old that I would never be an athlete, this shift has been life-changing. Today, I’m an elite ultra runner with asthma, and this simple habit has helped me move out of survival mode and into abundance every single day.

In this video, I break down the five biggest results I’ve experienced from working out in the morning for 75 days, including how it raised my emotional floor, improved my focus, strengthened my mindset, and gave me back my evenings.

I also share how concepts like joyful anticipation and increasing your floor, inspired by thinkers like Dr. Benjamin Hardy, can radically change how habits stick and compound over time.

If you’ve struggled with consistency, motivation, stress, or feeling like your days run you instead of the other way around, this video will show you a simple place to start.

Are you eating healthier, training more, and still stuck at the same weight? I’ve been there. In 2022, after running the Honolulu Marathon and clocking 30 to 40 miles a week, I stepped on the scale and found myself at 195 pounds. That moment forced me to uncover the real reasons my weight wasn’t moving.

In this episode of the Athlete with Asthma Show, I share my weight loss journey and the three reasons you and I get stuck at the same number on the scale, even when we think we’re doing everything right. These are the same lessons that helped me lose 30 pounds in 90 days and keep it off to this day.

If you’ve plateaued and feel frustrated, this episode gives you a blueprint to reset your body, your habits, and your environment so you can finally take control of your weight and your long-term health.

Every morning, my dog Sniktau and I head out for a run. She has no agenda, no stress, and no need to track anything. She is simply present, and that presence has transformed the way I run and the way I live.

In this episode of The Athlete with Asthma Show, I share what running with my aussiedoodle has taught me about being grounded, connected, and fully alive in the moment. For years I ran with podcasts, books, headphones, and constant data. I was focused on the past, the future, my pace, my goals, and the numbers that defined my performance. Meanwhile, Sniktau was beside me experiencing the world with pure joy and total presence.

Learning from her has changed everything. I feel more connected to nature, my dog, my fiancé Tetiana, my friends, and myself. My stress drops. My flow state rises. My mornings feel more meaningful. And I’m reminded every day that peak performance begins with presence.

If you want to feel more connected, happier, and grounded in your life, take a page out of your dog’s book: slow down, look around, smell the breeze, and be here now. Presence is a practice, and it starts with one intentional moment at a time.

Do you ever find yourself running the same route every day and slipping into autopilot? That used to be me. As an ultra runner with asthma, routine helped me stay consistent, but it also killed my creativity, joy, and presence. In today’s episode, I share how choosing a new running route completely transformed my mindset and reignited my love for the sport.

I went from boredom to excitement, from autopilot to presence, and from feeling stuck to becoming open to new experiences in every part of my life. When you change one thing, it ripples into everything else. This simple shift helped me rediscover why I fell in love with running in the first place.

If you’ve been feeling burnt out, bored, or stuck in your habits, this episode will show you how to break out of your loop and find adventure again.

If you want to perform at your highest level as an athlete, cutting out alcohol might be the biggest cheat code you’re not using. In today’s episode of the Athlete with Asthma Show, I break down why I only drink non-alcoholic beer now, how it transformed my ultra running performance, and why replacing alcohol with NA options could radically improve your sleep, recovery, mood, and productivity.

I spent 14 months alcohol-free while training for back-to-back ultra races, including the 100K I went on to win. What shocked me wasn’t just how much my athletic performance skyrocketed, but how much clearer, calmer, lighter, and more energetic I felt every single day. When I finally tried a regular beer again, it tasted like cough syrup and my brain fog lasted for days. That’s when I committed to replacing alcohol with non-alcoholic alternatives long term.

Earlier this year, I woke up overwhelmed by stress—and instead of diving into work like usual, I made one small decision that completely changed my life. I committed to taking cold showers every single morning for 30 days.

I’ve tried cryotherapy, ice baths, and cold plunges before, but this time was different. This time, it stuck. By day one, I could feel my mood shift instantly. Over the next month, I discovered seven powerful transformations that cold exposure created in my mind, body, and soul.

In this episode of The Athlete with Asthma Show, I share exactly what happened—from finding my “on switch” for energy and focus to improving my breathing with asthma, boosting endurance, and even feeling more confident in the cold.

If you’re looking for a natural way to reduce stress, improve performance, and elevate your mood, this video is for you.
