    Are you screwing up your testosterone and estrogen?

    In all likelihood, you probably are without knowing it.

    If you don't "feel like yourself", are accumulating fat around your gut, sporting "lunch lady arms" or "man boobs" --- or a whole host of other symptoms, it's likely time for you to get these hormones working for you rather than against you.

    Enter phase 3 of the hormone pyramid and part 4 of this series.

    I'm so excited to help you get back on track intelligently, simply, and sustainably.

    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?

  • 50 - What "Dad Bod" Should Know About Processed Foods with DevChef (Scott Brown)
    "Processed foods are evil"

    Is basically what I've bee preaching for 14 years. That is until I met Scott Brown who helped me understand and temper my philosophy around food processes for clients.

    Whey protein supplement? Processed.
    Spring mix in your salad? Processed.
    Favorite chicken breast, burger, or snack bar? All processed!

    So how do we tell the difference between what we should be eating and what we shouldn't when literally EVERYTHING (including produce) we eat --unless we grew it in our own back yard -- has been subjected to "processing"?

    Get excited as we help you find the boundaries!
