When I tell people what we eat, their first response is...
"That sounds pretty restricted!"
After which I ask them what they had for breakfast today?
"Cereal."
And the day prior?
"Cereal."
How about for the foreseeable future?
"Cereal."
You get the idea.
Most people are already eating a fairly restricted diet, only with poor food choices!
So, what the heck do we, at Life By Design, eat ourselves?
On today's episode of Life By Design we cover that question and answer a few more.
What We Cover
How is it possible for a simple, seemingly logical statement, to have the capacity to lead to such potentially detrimental outcomes?
That is the crux of the problem.
This statement, while appearing innocuous, is far from it.
What is this cliche we've all said at one time or another?
"Everything in moderation."
I know.
It just doesn't seem like an issue... right?
On this episode of Life By Design we delve deeper into this slogan and it's possible negative effects.
What we covered
One way to stack the deck in favour of the highest quality sleep experience is to craft the perfect restoration routine.
A routine is a series of actions done repeatedly.
Not all routines are helpful, or move you towards a predetermined goal, they’re simply routines due to repetition.
You’ll see routines, even rituals, a more intentional form of routine, among many high achievers across a variety of professions.
What makes routines so impactful is the ability to automate them and require little to no willpower.
This makes consistency easier and as such, the opportunity for a maximum return even more likely.
On today's episode of Life By Design I shared my Perfect Restoration Routine in hope it would spark you to do the same!
What I Covered:
Salt is bad for you!
Right?
Or is it?
Now I'm confused.
That's OK...
Most of us have been convinced that salt consumption is something that must be restricted at all costs.
Too much salt increases the risk for heart disease and stroke, damages the kidneys and will lead to early death.
That's scary!
But what is the truth?
Have we been told a lie?
It depends...as always.
On today's episode of Life By Design we talk about salt.
What I Covered:
Most people assume they'll know when they have a problem with their spine.
The criteria is simple... it hurts!
Until that point, the spine is just a bag of bones doing it's job to keep us upright.
Imagine if that's how we thought about our teeth?
All good until your tooth hurts.
How about the heart?
No problem here, until the first heart attack that is.
The list could go on...
When it comes to the body, there's so much more going on than meets the eye.
If we depend on pain to give us an alert that a problem exists, we'll end up waiting for too long and in some cases, it can even be too late.
On today's episode of Life By Design I talk about the most "obvious" causes of spinal problems and one significant but less considered possibility.
What I Covered:
One of the most under appreciated facets of health is the gut.
In the past, the digestive system was seen as a simple system.
Food entered and left one long tube, only to be digested and nutrients absorbed along the way.
Now, an incredible amount of research is accumulating to establish the gut as a primary focus for disease reversal and health optimization.
The "gut" is referring to the micro organisms living inside the intestines.
This biome includes 100's of different species of bacteria working together to produce a healthy environment.
On today's episode of Life By Design, we discuss what to do and not to do when it comes to improving your gut health.
