Beyond Fit

Stress. We all have it!

Lucky for you I'm a Zen master with absolutely zero stresses in my life and I'm here to teach you my ways.

Jk- but I do have six tips including managing your phone, developing routines, and being grateful (yes, this actually works) to help us both stress less.

I've built hundreds of workouts over the last decade. And in today's episode I go over (in order) the three most crucial variables. We'll cover-

Sleep is the most underrated aspect of a healthy life and healthy body.

Nothing else will give you the same returns as far as mental, physical, and emotional health!

Listen in to learn about circadian rhythms, cortisol management, and other sleep routines that will improve your sleep quantity and quality so you can feel your best.

On part two of this Q+A episode we're talking protein (favorite snacks/sources, timing, upper limits), macros (should you track and how to track), and sleep! Enjoy!

Hi guys! No guest for the full length Wednesday episode this week- so I wanted to share some thoughts on pragmatic staples of Beyond Fit with some notes on macros (how I've changed my mind on them, carb or fat emphasis, "power meals") and mindset (the hidden benefit to cold showers, loving yourself, the low-information diet). Enjoy! 

Some anecdotes have just always stuck with me, like the story of Ronnie Coleman throwing out the vegetables he had put with his chicken and rice. This episode offers a unique look at the 80/20 principle of diet and exercise and a reminder not to get caught up on the little things.

-Nick has been battling with PCS or post concussion syndrome for much of his adult life, recently he's had some acutely tough times. He was generous enough to come on my show to share some of his journey and how it has changed since he was last on the show, as well as sharing messages that are important to him about anxiety/depression and thinking you can "tough it out."
