Holiday Tips
|
Hey Reader, Memorial Day weekend is here! Time for friends, family, fun, and a well-deserved break. But, I also know many of you want to stay sharp, healthy, and energized. Here are my quick, actionable tips to help you enjoy the festivities without derailing your wellness progress. (I have had this convo about 20 times this week, so I thought I would share with you): 1. Prioritize Protein: Eating protein first with meals helps stimulate the release of satiety hormones like peptide YY, reducing hunger and cravings. It also stabilizes blood sugar levels, preventing energy dips and supports lean muscle growth and recovery. Aim for 30-50 grams per meal depending on bodyweight. 2. Hydrate Smart: Alcohol consumption can quickly lead to dehydration as it inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH), causing more frequent urination. Alternating alcoholic drinks with water mitigates this effect, supports liver detoxification, and significantly reduces the likelihood of hangovers. Adding electrolytes helps most: LMNT, Re-Lyte, SaltStick, Ultima are good ones 3. Morning Movement: Starting your day with exercise increases blood circulation and triggers the release of endorphins, boosting mood and cognitive function. Even brief movement stimulates metabolism, enhancing your body’s ability to efficiently burn calories throughout the day. Want the best? Try 7 Days Free OutdoorBody follow along HERE 4. Practice the 75% Rule: Eating slowly and stopping when you're about 75% full helps prevent overeating and supports digestion. This practice gives your brain adequate time to receive fullness signals from your stomach, enhancing mindful eating. I also drink 8-12oz water before and after meals. 5. Prebiotic & Probiotic Boost: Fermented foods like sauerkraut, kimchi, and pickles contain beneficial probiotics that enhance gut flora diversity, improve digestion, boost immunity, and may reduce inflammation. Throw at least 1 serving in daily. 6. Post-Meal Walks (fart walks): Walking after meals can significantly lower blood sugar by increasing insulin sensitivity. This activity also stimulates digestion and circulation, helping nutrients be effectively absorbed and utilized by the body. I prefer doing this after dinner! Enjoy the holiday weekend! Remember balance is key. Celebrate smart, stay healthy, and keep thriving. To your health, Tommy P.S. Spots now open for new 90 Day Metabolic Revival Coaching. Reply "Lean" for more info. |

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...
