Why you feel different after being in nature (it's not in your head)

Hey Reader, Hope your summer is off to a good start. It's been a minute since I've written, but I've been heads down on something I've wanted to make for years. You know that feeling when you're out hiking, or standing somewhere in a national park, and your whole body just settles? The stress drops. Your head goes quiet. You feel grounded again. We've all felt it. But I got obsessed with a different question: what does the actual science say is happening? Turns out it's real, and it's...

Blood Work: Trend or Great?

Hey Reader I got my blood work done yesterday, and I think the blood work trend has gotten a little out of hand. Every optimizer online is testing every couple weeks now. Tracking a hundred plus biomarkers. Chasing perfect numbers. You'd think all that data would make people healthier, and some of it does. But instead I watch people stress over a single lab result while sleeping five hours a night, overworking themselves, and never touching the sun. Somewhere along the way the test became the...

Hey Reader, A few weeks ago I met up with my family in Italy for a week. My parents, my brother and sister, my brother-in-law, my niece and nephew. All of us in one place for the first time in a while. I did one workout the day I landed. Then I looked around and thought, why am I doing this right now? I have my family in front of me and I don't get to see them like this often. So I put it away. The rest of the week was pizza and pasta, laying on the beach, actually being present with the...

Easy Health in 2026

Hey Reader, After 20+ years of coaching, here’s the pattern I keep seeing: People don’t fail because they lack information. They fail because they try to fix everything at once. Fat loss. Muscle. Cardio. Sleep. Supplements. Stress. Too many targets. No traction. Getting in great shape doesn’t require more effort. It requires better order. Here are the big levers: 1. Get honest about where you’re at Not emotionally. Objectively. Bodyweight trend. Waist measurement. Monthly photos. Bloodwork...

Hi Friend, I posted a IG video yesterday on nutritional habits that everyone loved & wanted to expand them here for you.

"Health is not valued till sickness comes." A few years ago, I hit a wall. I was training hard for an ultra race. Eating clean. Doing all the “right” things. But I still felt off—fatigued, foggy, unmotivated. Something wasn’t adding up. I finally decided to run a full panel of bloodwork. That one move changed everything. My testosterone levels were way lower than they should’ve been for my age & I also discovered I was living in mold. But this isn’t just about testosterone—or about men. It’s...
