With the administration of one of the following protocols three days perContinueContinue reading “The Most Effective Cardiovascular Interval Protocols”
Eating Food Before You Sleep
So I have this issue. It’s really a funny thing. Anytime I eat way too much pizza or pasta before I go to sleep, I wake up anywhere from 1230-2am and can’t go back to sleep for the life of me. And I’m 95% sure it’s more than just the guilt of eating anContinueContinue reading “Eating Food Before You Sleep”
Taking Statins to Reduce Cholesterol
I’m eating my words today. And I’m glad I am haha. I did some reasearch into statins and it seems like there really isn’t that much controversy surrounding the use of statins other than their known side effects (muscle pain, VERY low risk of depression). I know in the last place I worked, I sawContinueContinue reading “Taking Statins to Reduce Cholesterol”
Exercise During Pregnancy
Hey, I’ve been doing some research into exercise while pregnant. I’ve done my best in talking to MDs, reseaching nerdy crap and talking to people with experience. But really, I just want to make sure it’s easier for you than it was for me in terms of being confident when you continue or start anContinueContinue reading “Exercise During Pregnancy”
Connecting your Why
Earlier today I ran up to the rec center. And in case I haven’t told you, I’m on a basketball kick. Basketball is funny to me. It’s a reminder of when I went through my surgeries.

Supplementation – BCAAs
Hey! Some nerd stuff today! (Here we go again) Anyone who’s been to a Globogym can picture the guy I’m about to describe. The guy who walks around the gym in a cutoff shirt that’s way too small, headphones that are way too big to be comfortable, 70’s style short shorts (sometimes a fanny pack) and a gallonContinueContinue reading “Supplementation – BCAAs”
