KNOWLEDGE IS POWER

No one wants to be the one to say it, but here’s the truth:

You don’t need to eat a steak that big.

Everyone loves the idea of a 24 oz porterhouse steak, but the reality is that that shouldn’t be the gold standard. The gold standard is set by quality, not quantity.

At some point in our lives, we look back and begin to question if we are following the path that we had envisioned. Introspection is a normal and necessary part of growth, and the answers it uncovers often lead to new questions. Have you challenged yourself to prove that you are capable of more than what you thought possible? 

Gut health seems to be a buzzing topic in the world of health and wellness, but what exactly does it mean to have a healthy gut?

Sometimes those things were necessary or at least unavoidable. The extremities of combat or the exigencies of professions like emergency services place practitioners in situations that demand an acceptance of risk. But a lot of times my narrow escapes were the results of being under-planned, under-trained, or under-aware.

The average person spends 12 hours per day sitting. Most people do not notice how often they sit throughout the day because we sit when we sit constantly for short amounts of time that tend to add up: while traveling, eating, working, studying, relaxing, reading, or waiting. Our posture when sitting can have major consequences on our backs if we don’t make a conscious effort to sit right.
