Defining Dad Bod

Are you ready to put the icing on the cake?

Part 5 of overcoming obesity is all about supporting and optimizing your thyroid.

Simply put, we'll be taking a break from commonly inflammatory foods, getting on a good probiotic, elimintating toxins from household practices, and sweating daily to further support toxin elimination.

The truth is, if you've made it this far, you're not eating much cake. But in the last 4 of the 16 week process of optimizing your hormone-system we're going to address the tip-top, strictest portion of the pyramid but don't worry, not for long.

If you can follow through on this step along with the previous 3 phases (see https://www.definingdadbod.com/blog/overcomingobesitypart1) you'll be on your way to your BEST YOU and your hormones will be working for you rather than against you.

Are you ready to tackle your thyroid?

Is the internet bring us closer or is it driving us apart?

Its a tough question that many are asking.

And while the benefits or detriments of "screen time" are being debated across the board, especially for kids, the question is volleyed for parents as well.

Is the internet hurting or helping "community" among adults?

Welcome back to Larry Hagner, owner and founder of the "Dad Edge Alliance". With over 100,000 listeners regularly tuning into his podcast and tens of thousands of dads active in his online community, we'll discuss the social media, internet, and health and fitness of his life as a father and the lives of the dads he produces for daily.

I'm excited for you to join our discussion!

Have you ever done nearly everything right and still gotten hit with 10 tons of bricks in the face?

Craig Nieset from Team Nieset was on the show a few months ago - he and his wife talk in episode 39 about running life's busy race well with nutrition and exercise. Since then he has faced a cancer diagnosis and possible death with a powerful resolve to show up for himself and his family.

Now with a clean bill of health he is turning his attention to making the community aware of the steps that need to be taken to catch possible concerns before they become tragedies.

September is prostate cancer awareness month - Craig's message "Get your PSA checked and stay on top of possible abnormalities"

In the meantime, the stronger, healthier, and fitter you are, the better you will recover from medical procedures that may be necessary but unforeseen!

#Definingdadbod means always preparing for the next fight!

Thank you Craig for sharing your story!

In all likelihood, you probably are without knowing it.

The questions:

I clean hotels at night and am a delivery driver in the day (I work 11pm-2pm 6 days a week) can you recommend how to optimise diet and hormones when I'm working against the normal circadian rythym (and with 2 kids under 2 how I optimise energy on very little sleep).

What are easy snacks I can work into my travel routine that are good for me?

I'm a tall guy. How do I improve my posture when sometimes slouching is required to fit into smaller spaces (like driving)?

But what is everyone’s thoughts on intermittent fasting while also body building. I’m currently 190 as of this morning. Looking to shred body fat while slowly adding lean muscle.

When I run, I get pain in my foot and achilles. What can I do about this?

I have been using Generation Ucan for myself and clients for over 8 years. So you can imagine my delight when I was asked to join them on social media!

In this episode, Varun of Generation Ucan invites me to discuss "Redefining Dad Bod" on their platform.

It's time to stop settling for the traditional definition of "Dad Bod" and remake it to mean something awesome! Through an intelligent and disciplined lifestyle, smarter nutrition, and efficient exercise, we can be better.
