My-GO-TO-Power-Breakfast
My GO-TO Power Breakfast Breakfast is the most important meal of the day – and fortunately my favorite! It should also be your biggest meal of the day to jump-start your metabolism. This is my go-to power breakfast that’s packed with protein. Almond flour pancakes made from scratch. (did I mention I LOVE pancakes?) – 1 cup of almond flour, 2 eggs, 1/3 cup of almond milk, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of

Stop comin’ at me with that crap about not being motivated! I ain’t tryna hear that! Depending on motivation to do your workouts is like trusting a politician’s promises… Please… do not hold your breath waiting on that shit to happen! MOTIVATION… even at it’s best, is pretty damn fickle. One day it’s got you… the next day it kicks you to the curb! Instead of MOTIVATION, you’ve got to turn your mindset to COMMITMENT

Let’s dig into a common misconception about weight and eating habits. It’s not always about how much you eat, but rather what you eat. Is this you? You kick off the day with a bag of potato chips. For lunch, it’s fast food. In the afternoon, you indulge in doughnuts. If you eat at home in the evening, it’s a rarity, and you often end up just going to bed because you’re exhausted. If that’s

If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to live to 100—not just existing, but thriving—Dr. Walter M. Bortz lays it all out in his groundbreaking book, Dare to be 100. This isn’t just a book; it’s a blueprint for longevity, perfectly aligned with my Proactive Aging Blueprint philosophy. Dr. Bortz doesn’t believe in aging passively, and neither do I. His approach focuses on taking deliberate action in key areas of life to build not just years, but quality years.

Let’s clear up the misuse of the word “Diet.” It’s not about crazy, short-term eating plans that promise rapid weight loss. Instead, it’s a daily way of eating that can sustain you for life. Simply put, if you gain the weight back, the diet didn’t work. No matter the name or specifics of the diet, the principle remains the same. Your diet should be about developing healthy eating habits and sustaining your wellness throughout life.

If you don’t own a massage unit, you’re doing your aging, active body a grave injustice. I use mine on a regular basis for recovery and there are two kinds you should consider. There’s percussion massage and vibration massage. Both are forms of soft tissue therapy but differ in intensity and technique: Percussion Massage uses rapid, deep strokes to penetrate deeper muscle layers, promoting muscle recovery, reducing soreness, and increasing circulation. It’s ideal for athletes or those with muscle stiffness.

Let’s talk about the most underrated part of fitness: Recovery. It’s not optional; it’s the glue that holds your progress together. Without proper recovery, you’re setting yourself up for burnout, injuries, and plateaus. And the MVP of recovery? SLEEP. From the Proactive Aging Blueprint: “When you sleep, your body goes into full-on repair mode. Muscle tissues damaged during exercise are rebuilt, and your energy stores are replenished. Growth hormone—your body’s natural anabolic steroid—is released during deep sleep, helping you

If you’re experiencing fatigue, joint pain, or gut issues, gluten could be a culprit. I’m pretty sure it is for me! Gluten, a protein in wheat, barley, and rye, can trigger inflammation, especially in those sensitive to it. For some, gluten-free diets reduce inflammation and may ease symptoms of osteoarthritis. Yes, I’ve really had to cut back on the bread!  Going gluten-free isn’t just about avoiding bread; it requires checking sauces (like soy sauce), snacks,
