Best shape of your life in 2026 (with less effort)
|
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: Not emotionally. Objectively. Bodyweight trend. Waist measurement. Monthly photos. Bloodwork 1-2x a year. Clarity comes before change. Action: Get bloodwork done ASAP 2. Fix metabolic health first Before optimization comes repair. Protein-forward meals. Simple food. Consistent meal timing. Less excess body fat. When this improves: Energy improves. Focus improves. Recovery improves. Everything gets easier. Action: 30-50grams of protein with every meal 3. Treat recovery like a skill Sleep isn’t passive. It’s trained. Earlier meals. Earlier bedtimes. Morning light. Consistent wind-down. Small changes here solve a lot of “mystery” problems. Action: No doom scrolling, TV, or blue lights 30+ mins before bed 4. Build and protect muscle Strength training is non-negotiable. 3 days per week. 30–40 minutes. Nothing fancy. Muscle supports metabolism. Joint health. Long-term resilience. Action: Pick your 3 lifting days a week & make it non-negotiable 5. Move daily. Push occasionally. Walk most days. Move at an easy pace. Once a week, challenge yourself. Short. Intentional. Hard. Control your nervous system. Action: Walk/Move first in am well before 1 meal (earn it) Don’t try to win January. Build something that still works in October. Consistency beats intensity every time. – Tommy PS: I’m looking for 5 people who want to take their health to the next level in 2026 through one-on-one coaching. Reply “ready” if that’s you. |

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...
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...
