Fasting is magic.
Red meat and eggs are unhealthy.
Vegetables are unhealthy.
You can't be successful without a robust morning routine.
Turn off electronics two hours before bed.
Don't work out if you didn't sleep 8 hours.

Do these claims sound ridiculous to you? I hope so. But unfortunately, in today's world anyone can say anything they want on social media. If that person happens to be a doctor, more and more people begin to believe it. When you hear all of these absolutes and you're unable to comply to all of them 100%, it can be tempting to just give up. 

In this episode, I tell you what you need to hear about each of these subjects (and more) and why although there's merit to most of them, you don't need to be perfect and try to "optimize" each category to improve your life.

Age gets the blame for a lot of issues when it comes to health and fitness. Your joints hurt, you don't recover well, you don't feel energetic like you used to...the list goes on.
I'm here to tell you that it's NOT just age, it's the fact that you can't do the things you did in your 20's and expect your older self to be able to handle them. When you age, you don't just automatically become less fit, more fat, less motivated...you just have to be more mindful of your priorities and take certain things more seriously than you used to.

In this episode, I talk about how and why I feel better now at 33 than I did at 23 (or any time throughout my 20s). I've made many changes to my nutrition, lifestyle/habits and training that allow me to feel this way, and there's certainly something (or many things) in this that you can implement into your life as well.
