About a year ago, I set out on a journey to write a book that was different from any other health, wellness, and self-improvement book out there. I wanted to create an all-encompassing and digestible resource for people that could provide value no matter the circumstance. Spanning over 30 topics pertaining to your health and wellness, this book offers a comprehensive guide to improving your quality of life. You can take control of your health, wellness, and performance by using foundational principles, action-based strategies, and tools that are easy to use. Many books give you similar resources for a specific topic, but my goal is to offer information, strategies, and resources for various topics. This holistic approach is intended to achieve my ultimate goal:

  • Empower people to take control of their health and wellness.
  • Ignite meaningful change.
  • Inspire others while reaching personal fulfillment.

Over the coming months, I will finally be able to share this resource, and I couldn’t be more excited! Stay tuned for more information! 

 

Movement 

Extra Steps and Stand-to-Sit Ratio

  • Adding 1,000 extra steps to your day can improve mood, digestion, heart health, bone mineral density, blood sugar regulation, balance, and overall mortality risk.
  • Aim for a stand-to-sit ratio between 1:1 and 3:1 for maximum health benefits

Nutrition

5:1 Fiber Rule

  • When it comes to whole grain products, try to buy and eat products with a 5:1 ratio (or less) of carbs to fiber
  • Fiber is great for digestive and overall gut health

Recovery

  • NSDR protocol usually follows two steps: a self-induced state of rest followed by a period of directed, intense focus 
  • A powerful way to achieve deep relaxation and slow down your brain frequency

Lifestyle 

Four factors that make up Emotional Intelligence (EQ or EI)

  • Self Awareness (Understanding your own emotions)
  • Self Management (How you actually manage and regulate your emotions) 
  • Social Awareness (How you understand and empathize with other people’s emotions)
  • Relationship Management or Social Skills (Using your awareness of your own emotions and those of others to manage interactions successfully)

Emotional Intelligence is a very strong (possibly the strongest) predictor of success in work, relationships, and sports.

Things I'm Trying

Sauna and Cold Shower Blitz – Been incorporating the sauna into my routine for about an hour a week, split up into 5-7 sessions, usually after my workouts. I have also been doing a 1-2 minute cold blitz at the end of my morning showers before I start my work day. Both sauna and cold exposure can have incredible health benefits when used correctly.
