Reinventing myself

School & college failed to teach me health & fitness.
Neither did my family. 
So I ignored it till my mid 30's.

Then to fix my own health, I spent the last few years studying and experimenting nutrition & exercise physiology.

I went from an 32yo overweight and unhealthy person to a 40yo competitive endurance athlete.

Here’s what i learned in 3 simple frameworks

1. What you eat is extremely important.
And when you eat and how much is equally important.

-Don't consume food or drink that comes in boxes, bags or cans, the stuff loaded with refined grains, sugar
-Eat a high protein nutrient dense diet
-Cook your own food
^That will be your superpower.

2. You don't need to have a six-pack.
Exercise to feel confident and prevent disease.

Your desk job is destroying your body and ruining your health.

-Lift weights, workout at home or play a sport. Just move your body
-Consistency is way more valuable than intensity. 
-We lose muscle as we age.
-If you ignore gaining muscle, you will become weak, more susceptible to injuries and ultimately live with pain all day long.
-Strength training will recreate the best version of yourself.
The biggest lie you should ignore is that cardio kills muscle growth.

3. Stress is your biggest enemy. 
And sleep is your biggest performance enhancer.

-Stress + rest = growth.
Figuring out the appropriate dose of each is key.
-Your hospital visits won't teach you this. 
Because they make money on your ignorance.
-Stop eating 3 hours before bed.
-Stop looking at screens 1 hour before bed.
-Train yourself to deal with stress with exercise instead of surrendering to junk food or alcohol.

Be curious and read scientific literature. Not clickbait articles.

It's never too late to take charge of your health.
Good luck!
