A new me.

In 2021, I was completely unhappy with the way I felt (which is more important than the way I looked). After struggling for so long, I realized it's really true: you can't out-exercise a bad diet.

I was fed up and decided to do some research. I didn't need a fad diet. I wasn't going to spend hours in the gym. I just needed real nutrition, not the S.A.D. (Standard American Diet) way I was accustomed to eating.

I needed something that was:

1: Stupid simple.

2: Sustainable

3: On-the-go.

For those of you who struggle or are ready to make a real, lasting change this year... this is doable for anyone.

I'm not much of an athlete, but after dropping 50 lbs in just under 5 months, I found more energy, focus, and drive than ever before.

Here are a few KEY things that have helped me along the way (your mileage may vary):

1. Eliminate or reduce sugar, alcohol, and stress. Yes-- it's easier said than done, but I can walk you through it and make it sustainable.

2. Get more sleep. Surviving on 4-5 hours of sleep at night is not a badge of honor. It's a recipe for disease. Aim for 7-9 hours each night. Block out junk/blue light. Drop your thermostat down to 67 degrees. Stop eating/drinking 2-3 hours before bedtime. And move more during the day.

3. Eat for fat loss; exercise to build muscle. You're likely undereating and causing your metabolism to stall. There's a simple test for this-- take two fingers and place them on your neck or wrist to feel your pulse. Feel it? If so, you're probably undereating. Focus on eating 1g of protein per pound of ideal bodyweight. Drink 3L of water per day. And lift heavy things. (Pro Tip: Walking is an EXCELLENT way to burn fat... the results of walking 30-45 minutes a day will shock you!)

4. Surround yourself with healthy people. Your willpower isn't enough. You need a community like Rebel90 to share your journey with.

5. Consistency is KING. Find some simple, boring meals you can put on repeat and lock in. (I can help if you need it!) Schedule your meals and workouts in your calendar and treat them as a doctor appointment. If you don't make time for your wellness, you'll be foreced to make time for your illness.

6. Celebrate the small wins. Momentum builds commitment. And commitment builds momentum.

A word about supplements:

Make sure you're taking quality supplements to help jumpstart your process. I'm not going to list everything I've done here -- you're body is different and copying-and-pasting what I did most likely won't work the same for you. But here are a list of my non-negotiables.

1. Daily Health System. Curbs cravings, helps with energy and bloating. Take daily.

2. Creatine. It's not just for muscle recovery. It also supports cognitive function and helps recovery.

3. Sea Salt (in my water). If you're cutting processed foods (as you should), don't stress about getting too much salt in your diet. However, adding a pinch of quality sea salt to your water will help you stay hydrated. Alternatively, there are some good hydration products on the market like Quench and LMNT -- but beware of cheap stuff loaded with sugar. You don't need it. (And let's agree to skip the Gatorade... ok, pumpkin?)

4. Magnesium glycinate 1 hour before bedtime. It will help you dial in your sleep. Any good quality product from Amazon or elsewhere is just fine.

If I can do this, so can you. And I'll walk with you every step of the way. Just drop me an email and let's chat. It's absolutely free... and I'd love to connect!
