Gain Muscle & Strength/Endurance || Loose Fat || Ideal Weight Management

 REAL RESULTS DON'T COME FROM BAD PLANS, OR FROM "RUN-OF-THE-MILL" APPROACHES.

THERE IS A COROLLARY TO THAT :

....IF "GREAT RESULTS" WERE EASY -- EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A "GREAT BODY" - !!
 

{... >> JUST BY VIRTUE OF A TINY BIT OF "CONSISTENT" EFFORT ,, >>...}  !!!

- BUT WE ALL KNOW IT IS OFTEN NOT "SO SIMPLE" -!!! 

....SHOCKINGLY,....

...IT IS ALMOST AS IF SOMEONE FORGOT TO TELL THESE "OTHER" FITNESS TRAINERS THAT THEIR "PROMISES, PLANS, & STRATEGIES" ARE LACKING IN IMPORTANT & ESSENTIAL FACTS -- (ABOUT TO BE 'REVEALED' BELOW)

      ...LIKEWISE,...

...THE INDUSTRY THAT TRAINED & "CERTIFIED" MOST OF THESE NOW TYPICAL "ON-LINE" -- OR EVEN  "IN-PERSON" -- FITNESS  & NUTRITION TRAINERS & COACHES, -- FORGOT TO TELL THEM THE TRUTH- !

....OF "JUST HOW DIFFICULT & TRULY 'TRICKY'!" IT CAN BE...

....TO "LOSE BODYFAT", OR "PUT ON MUSCLE"....

 ....OR TO DO 'BOTH' -- !!

....AND THEN TO ACTUALLY KEEP THOSE GAINS - !!!!

   --...PERHAPS YOU "KNOW" ALREADY,..  --

• 
• 
• 

 MOST TRAINERS NEAR "MINDLESSLY?" KEEP 'ASCRIBING TO' -- & "PRESCRIBING" 'ALL' -- THE SO-CALLED "MACROS"... 

"MACROS" REFERRING TO  THE 'THREE' SO-CALLED "MACRONUTRIENTS"  OF:   1- - "FATS"  ("FATTY ACIDS") //   2- - "CARBOHYDRATES"  (CARBS) //  3- -"PROTEINS"  ("AMINO ACIDS", TECHNICALLY).

ACTING AS IF THE MAGIC OF CERTAIN RATIOS OF THESE "MACROS" - [SUCH AS "20:40:40" - VS - "10:50:40"] - IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MANY OTHER DETAILS THAT ALSO NEED TO BE CONSIDERED. 

I AM EXTREMELY AWARE AS A 6-TIME DRUG FREE-NATURAL BODYBUILDING STATE TITLE HOLDER - AND HEAD PHYSIQUE JUDGE AT STATE-LEVEL SHOWS - THAT IT IS  FAR MORE COMPLEX -

AND I KNOW VERY WELL

WITHIN EACH OF THESE SO-CALLED "MACROS" -- QUALITY AND ABSORBABILITY & "LONG- & SHORT-TERM SAFETY" MATTER.

*     *     *     *     *     *    *

THE TRUE, "UGLY & BRUTAL" REAL FACTS ARE THESE

 "SHOCKINGLY", OR 'FAIRLY' - AS "NATURE" OFTEN TYPICALLY IS; - 

GET THE INFO & ACTIONS WRONG -- AND YOUR GAINS STOP, OR REVERSE, --

 & BE SURE & READ THIS TRUTH JUST BELOW 

SOME I HAVE EVEN SEEN END UP DEAD AT YOUNG AGES IN THEIR 40'S, 50'S & 60'S -- DESPITE 'WORKING OUT DAILY' & DESPITE "BEING IN GREAT MUSCULAR SHAPE" -- & DESPITE EATING THE CORRECT SO-CALLED "MACRO" RATIOS.

*    *    *    *    *    *

  "HOW' - ?? OR - "WHY" ??   

 >> CAUSE THEY CHOSE THE "WRONG FATS", THE "WRONG CARBS", AND THE "WRONG PROTEINS" - !

 THE ACTUAL "SOURCES WERE TOXIC & DAMAGING",  - ESPECIALLY OVER TIME. 

 THEIR "RATIOS" WERE NOT THE PROBLEM.

*    *    *    *    *    *

LET THIS BE AN EFFECTIVE WARNING HERE -- AND INSPIRATION FOR HIRING THE RIGHT TRAINER -- WITH LONG TERM PROVEN KNOWLEDGE IN THESE AREAS.

THAT IS WHY "THE BEST" & "THE MOST WISE & DISCERNING" OFTEN HIRE ME -- DESPITE MY HIGHER SET OF STANDARDS ON NUTRITION -- OTHERWISE, - YOU WILL OFTEN END UP UNNECESSARILY DEAD OR DISEASED OTHERWISE - !!!

KIND OF A "HEAVY PRICE TO PAY" - FOR SAVING "$20" A SESSION WITH A TRAINER WHO DOESN'T EXPECT YOU TO "LEVEL-UP" OVER TIME; -- OR "EQUALLY'(??!) 'BAD" -- NOT KNOW HOW TO MOTIVATE OR INSTRUCT YOU ON HOW TO "LEVEL-UP" YOUR NUTRITION WHEN IT IS TIME. 

MOST CLIENTS WHOM CHOSE MY 'UNUSUAL HIGHER SKILL SET' & "PASSIONATE & INFORMATIVE COACHING" DO SO CAUSE THEY WANT LONG TERM LASTING HEALTH & PHYSIQUE GAINS -- NOT "JUST A PAT ON THE BACK" WITH A SIMPLE - "GET YOUR MACROS IN" -  {AND "8 GLASSES OF WATER"} KIND OF MANTRA -  WHICH IS "DEADLY" 'OVERLY-SIMPLISTIC' MESSAGING.

*   *   *   *   *   *   *

 WHAT IS THE "BRIEF" ANSWER TO THE MACROS DILEMMA - ??

 KNOWLEDGE - !! 

 AND LOTS OF IT - GAINED & APPLIED OVER TIME - ! 

[<HERE, - JUST BELOW - IS A VERY BRIEF START - IF NEW TO THESE CONCEPTS>]

  1 -  ALL FATS ARE NOT THE SAME -- SOME WILL "CAUSE DISEASE", - OTHERS WILL "CURE IT" - !

SAME NOR ARE ALL SOURCES OF CARBSWITH 'OILS', - SOME POLLUTE THE BODY & ARE TOXIC - !!  OTHERS ARE HONESTLY TRULY ESSENTIAL - AND WILL "DETOX, HEAL, BUILD, REGULATE, FUEL & FORTIFY" THE BODY.

EVEN PRECIOUS "EFA'S" - ["ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS"], -  IF WRONGLY STORED OR UTILIZED - WILL TURN RANCID AND DAMAGE, & POLLUTE THE BODY - {SHOCKINGLY, - EVEN IF ON A "HEALTHY ORGANIC SALAD" OR IN A "BLENDED  HEALTHY ORGANIC SMOOTHIE"}

  2 -  ALL CARBS ARE NOT THE SAME - NOR ARE ALL SOURCES OF CARBS EQUALLY GOOD.   SOME "KILL", -- OTHERS "NOURISH & FORTIFY". 

WHEN IT COMES TO CARBS, - 'ORGANIC' MATTERS, VERY VERY OFTEN,  - AS DOES THE 'SOIL' THE FOOD WAS GROWN IN, AND THE 'SURROUNDING CONDITIONS' & EVEN HOW IT WAS 'STORED OR HANDLED' OR "PACKAGED" - AND EVEN "COOKED" - !!

"MICROWAVED" FOODS & BEVERAGES  ARE A "NO-NO" [PROVABLY] -- &  UNNECESSARILY OVERHEATED OR OTHERWISE OVERCOOKED FOODS OFTEN LOSE MUCH NUTRITIONAL VALUE - AND THUS -- RUIN "YOUR GAINS" -- AND YOUR HEALTH.  SO NOT MUCH POINT IN KEEPING THOSE IN ONE'S DIETARY REGIME.

  3 - ALL PROTEINS ARE NOT THE SAME - NOT EVEN CLOSE. 

MOST ARE NOW AWARE OF THE OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT "ANIMAL-BASED PROTEIN DIETS" ARE NOW PROVING TO LEAD TO INFLAMMATION, PREMATURE AGING, DISEASE, AND ULTIMATELY - PREMATURE DEATH.

NOW IT IS RECENTLY VERY CLEAR THAT, -- ALTHOUGH MANY  PROTEIN SOURCES CAN "BUILD MUSCLE MASS" - THOSE SAME PROTEIN SOURCES WILL CAUSE DISEASE OVER TIME - AND KILL YOU WITH HEART, LIVER, KIDNEY, & OTHER DISEASES,-- THIS INCLUDES EVEN ORGANIC "GRASS-FED DAIRY" PRODUCTS, -- WHICH WAS A LESSON FOR ME PERSONALLY.  [{SEE MY SECTION ON "VEGAN DIET & PLANT-BASED EATING"}].

 EASY DOABLE "PLANT-BASED" DIETARY PROTEIN SOLUTIONS EXIST - HOWEVER. 

THUS, A BRIEF SMALLER TEXT SECTION (*) FOR THOSE WHOM WANT TO READ IT HERE:

(*) EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO NOTE THE FOLLOWING;

-- PROTEINS ARE REALLY JUST SOURCES OF AMINO ACIDS -- & THE BODY USES "20" SUCH AMINO ACIDS FOR BUILDING & REPAIR. 

BUT, -- INTERESTINGLY -- AN ADULT HUMAN ONLY NEEDS "8" OF THESE IN SUFFICIENT QUANTITIES TO MANUFACTURE EVERYTHING IT NEEDS.  [{INCLUDES "CELL-BUILDING", "CELL-COMMUNICATION", ENZYMES, HORMONES, NEUROTRANSMITTERS, & MORE - INCLUDING IMMUNE CELLS}

THE OTHER "12" CAN BE MANUFACTURED ["SYNTHESIZED"] FROM THIS "ESSENTIAL BASE" OF "8".  [THESE "OTHER 12" GET CALLED "NON-ESSENTIAL" - BUT THEY STILL PERFORM TASKS THAT ARE "ESSENTIAL"].

THUS, THE BODY CAN BE OPTIMALLY FUNCTIONING IN TERMS OF PROTEINS -- AS LONG AS THESE "ESSENTIAL 8" AMINO ACID NEEDS ARE MET -- AND SUFFICIENT CONVERSION IS OCCURRING.

OFTEN, IN TODAY'S COMPLEX & STRESSFUL SOCIETY -- SOME DIETARY PROTEIN SUPPLEMENTATION CAN BE WISER & CHEAPER - THAN STRUGGLING WITH AN ALL WHOLE FOOD DI ET. 

HERE IS ONE SUCH PRODUCTIVE  PLANT-BASED "SAFE" & "PROVEN" DISEASE-ELIMINATING PROTEIN SOURCE I HAVE FOUND  - [{ CALLED "PERFECT AMINO", BY "BODY HEALTH "}] - THAT IS WORTH INVESTIGATION.   MY CLIENTS WHO USE THIS ARE AFFORDED REDUCED COST PURCHASING - THOUGH I AM NOT "ENDORSING" IT AS SUCH HERE, FOR ALL, JUST YET.

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

THE NEXT "BIG MYTH" THE TRAINING INDUSTRY IS "FULL-OF"- !

BESIDES THIS COMMON ERROR - DISCUSSED JUST ABOVE - OF SAYING "ALL MACROS ARE EQUAL" -- LIKE ONE OFTEN HEARS IN THE OLD "ATKINS" DIET,  - OR THE CURRENT VERY POPULAR NOW "KETO" DIET APPROACH - OR EVEN THE "PALEO" DIET FAD -- 

-- ONE ALSO OFTEN HEARS ANOTHER VERY, VERY COMMON UNWITTINGLY IGNORANTLY & DANGEROUSLY REPEATED "MANTRA"  -- HERE SEEN JUST BELOW -- IS ALSO TRAGICALLY ESPOUSED BY MANY A WELL-INTENTIONED BUT VASTLY MIS-INFORMED TRAINERS & NUTRITION WRITERS- !!

                                         *   *   *   *   *   *   *                                            

HERE IS THAT ERROR PRONE MESSAGE:

QUOTE:  THE "KEY" TO LOSING WEIGHT IS TO "REDUCE YOUR CALORIES".

       ("DANGER" - ABOVE & BELOW - BOTH QUOTES ARE "WRONG")

OR :   "MOVE MORE '&' EAT LESS" -  [IS THEIR SIMPLE  DANGEROUS MOTTO]

THIS, - AGAIN, - OVERLY SIMPLISTIC, DISPROVEN & ERRANT "CALORIC BALANCING" CONCEPT - CAN ALSO LIKEWISE CAUSE  ACTUAL DEATH.

*   *   *   *   *   *   * 

  WHAT THEN - ??? --  IS THE SOLUTION - !?!  

THE KEY IS "HIGH" OR "VERY HIGH" 'NUTRIENT DENSITY ' & NON-TOXIC  FOOD CHOICES.

 & TO SIMPLY, - "CHOOSE" - TO EAT 'MUCH' "CLEANER, WISER, & MORE EFFECTIVELY" - ! 

--  IN TERMS OF TIMING, PORTION SIZE & FOOD RATIOS & TYPES.

 BECAUSE - HONESTLY - !! 

*    *    *    *    *    *    *

 'RESEARCH' & "REAL EXPERIENCE" BOTH SHOW: 

 TYPICALLY, -- EATING "DRASTICALLY LESS" OR "TOO LITTLE CALORIES" WILL UNDOUBTEDLY, AT LEAST -- {FOR MOST ALL WHOM ATTEMPT IT LONG TERM} -- ONLY SLOW DOWN THE "METABOLISM" -- ["THE BODY'S 'OVERALL' ECONOMY"] --

- & TRAGICALLY FOSTER EITHER "GREAT FATIGUE" OR EVEN "ACTUAL EXHAUSTION",-  AND THEN PARADOXICALLY - {TO MAKE MATTERS STILL WORSE} -- INCREASE THE BODY'S TENDENCY TO PUT ON "EVEN MORE" FAT - AS A REACTION TO "PROLONGED UNDERFEEDING". -

YIKES - !

BUT WAIT - !   THERE'S MORE - !!

IT WILL ALSO IN ALMOST ALL -- "CAUSE MODERATE-TO-SEVERE MUSCLE LOSS" {"CATABOLISM"},  -- AS WELL AS POTENTIALLY "ROB THE BODY" OF IT'S RESOURCES --- AND "WEAKEN IT'S WELLNESS" -- LEADING TO 'BONE LOSS', "BRAIN MASS" LOSS, "IMMUNE DISRUPTION",  HAIR LOSS, AND OTHER DISEASE.

IF NOTHING SEVERE HAPPENS -- TRULY "UNDERFEEDING" THE BODY -- ESPECIALLY DURING EXERCISE WILL OBVIOUSLY, - FOR MOST ALL - EASILY FORSTALL GAINS-!  OR JUST "HEIGHTEN THE RATE" OF AGING OR BREAKDOWN FOR MANY.

THIS OCCURS, - HONESTLY, - MORE OFTEN THAN ONE MIGHT IMAGINE.

SOME "ANTI-AGERS" MIGHT ARGUE -- WHAT ABOUT "AUTOPHAGY"(?) - THEY "CLAIM IS BENEFICIALLY OCCURRING" WHEN "FASTING" FOR CELLULAR REST & REPAIR, AND THAT POTENTIALLY(!?) AND PURPORTEDLY(?) HAS "ANTI-AGING BENEFITS".

BUT

 DESPITE CLAIMS OF "AUTOPHAGY" [{WHICH ACTUALLY LITERALLY TRANSLATES TO MEAN "SELF-EATING"}] - SOME REGARD AS "BEING"?? A "POSSIBLE UPSIDE" --  RECENT THE RESEARCH SHOWS "FASTING FOR AUTOPHAGY" IS YET TO BE PROVEN AS A MEANS TO GREATER EXTENDED YOUTH.

COMMON SENSE & MY OWN EXPERIENCE TELLS ME THE SAME THING.

*    *    *    *    *    * 

'THE' ANSWER: 

ALSO ; "MY ANSWER"

EAT NUTRIENT DENSE FOODS - AT THE APPROPRIATE CALORIE LEVELS - AT THE APPROPRIATE TIMES - IN THE APPROPRIATE "BEST POSSIBLE" FORMS -- USING THE BEST POSSIBLE AVAILABLE FOODS -- THAT SERVE THE PROPER METABOLIC NEEDS FOR OPTIMIZING "TRUE HEALTH" -- AND NOT "JUST PERFORMANCE".

THE BIG MISTAKE:

 BESIDES COMPROMISING ON THESE PRINCIPLES ABOVE --

 MOST ERRANTLY TEND TO TRY TO "FUEL PERFORMANCE" AHEAD OF "FUELING MAINTENANCE & REPAIR" --

 I.E -- THEY LOOK TO THE "SUPERFICIAL LIFTS", 'RUN TIMES', -- OR THEIR WEIGHT LOSS, OR FAT LOSS -- AND LOOK PAST THE DEEPER IMMUNE & LONG TERM RECOVERY & 'BANK "SAVINGS" ACCOUNT' BUILDING APPROACH I TAKE + RECOMMEND.

 THEN, -- THEY END UP EXHAUSTED, "BURNED OUT"- - AGING AHEAD OF TIME.

 THIS IS WHY FOLKS - EVEN IN HOLLYWOOD & PRO-SPORTS -- HIRE GREAT HIGH-END TRAINERS AND NUTRITION EXPERTS.

 TO NOT DO SO -- ENDS THEIR CAREERS, OR REDUCES THEIR OPPORTUNITIES -- OFTEN SEVERELY. -- COSTING THEM MONEY, SUCCESS, MEMORIES, AND JOY & SATISFACTION.

 TAKE A NOTE FROM THESE "ELITES" - AND THE MANY WHO COME HERE WHOM ARE DOCTORS, BUSINESS OWNERS, OR SELF-EMPLOYED -- THEY KNOW THEIR LONG TERM HEALTH, INCOME, AND "BEST POSSIBLE LIFE" - IS DEPENDENT ON PICKING A GREAT TRAINER AND NUTRITION EXPERT.

 HERE YOU HAVE A HEAD START IN IDENTIFYING ONE -- AS YOU READ ALL OF THIS.  SO CALL AS SOON AS YOU ARE READY.

*    *    *    *    *    *    *

 EXTRA REMINDER, AGAIN,

-- "EAT CLEANER, WISER, & MORE EFFECTIVELY"

--  IN TERMS OF TIMING, PORTION SIZE & FOOD RATIOS & TYPES.

 HONESTLY, -  SURE YOU MAY NEED SOME HELP ON THIS - !! 

AGAIN

 EVEN PRO-ATHLETES & FAMOUS HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES GET HELP WITH THIS - !! 

 SO, - WHY SHOULDN'T YOU - !! 

 *    *    *    *    *    *    * 

   AND--  

 "REAL EXPERIENCE" REVEALS TO ME: 

INSTEAD OF "EXCESSIVE FASTING" OR "NON-FEEDING APPROACHES" -- TO  "WEIGHT-LOSS" & PHYSICAL APPEARANCE, "HEALTH", PERFORMANCE, AND "LONGEVITY" GAINS --- WHICH HAVE BEEN COMMONLY ESPOUSED FOR 20 YEARS NOW --

 I PROVED INSTEAD IT IS FAR WISER TO FEED THE BODY, -- IN PRECISELY THE RIGHT WAYS --

AND TO USE THE DIET TO "BUILD HEALTH" & "BUILD METABOLISM" - AND TO DO SO IN WAYS THAT ARE 'CONSISTENT WITH' & 'CAPABLE OF' FOSTERING "HEIGHTENED IMMUNITY, BRAIN FUNCTION, HORMONE MANUFACTURING, & ESSENTIAL NEUROTRANSMITTER" LEVELS, AND MORE.

  -- SO, BUILD GUT HEALTH, BUILD DIGESTIVE CAPACITY, -- IN WAYS THAT HEIGHTEN ENERGY LEVELS -- & THEN BUILD THE SKELETON, BUILD BRAIN HEALTH, BUILD HORMONE LEVELS, AND BUILD THE IMMUNE & REPAIR SYSTEMS.

DON'T "FAST" OR STARVE THE BODY'S ECONOMY - !!

WHY "REDUCE" THE "SIZE OF THE FIRE" - WHEN IT IS THE 'FIRE' THAT BURNS CALORIES.

*    *    *    *    *    *    *

UNLIKE MANY OTHER LESS INFORMED, LESS-EXPERIENCED TRAINERS --

I KNOW --

JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE EATS LESS CALORIES DOES NOT MEAN THEY WILL LOSE WEIGHT - OR THAT THEY WILL BURN MORE FAT -{THEY MIGHT JUST LOSE MUSCLE & EVEN SHRINK THEIR SKELETON - OR THEIR BRAIN-SIZE} 

IT IS FAR, FAR, FAR MORE COMPLEX; - JUST KEEP READING AS MUCH AS YOU WANT TO  BELOW -- TO SEE HOW MUCH MORE.

 *    *    *    *    *    *    * 

 THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN MACROS - !!

FOR NOW, -- LET'S DELVE INTO THE FACT THAT NOT ALL CALORIES ARE EQUALLY  IMPACTFUL  

LETS TAKE A REALLY BRIEF LOOK AT SOMETHING CALLED "MICRO"-NUTRIENTS -- SOMETHING MANY STILL TRAGICALLY IGNORE -- OR ARE VERY LITTLE INFORMED ON.

...SADLY, -- IN ADDITION TO THE MANY PROBLEMS DISCUSSED ABOVE -- MANY TRAINERS OFTEN FORGET OR IGNORE THE "ESSENTIAL" TO 'HEALTH & LIFE' "MICROS"- !! 

QUICK SMALL TEXT SIDE NOTE  - JUST TO CLARIFY TO AVOID OR REDUCE CONFUSION:

THERE ARE 3 "MACRO" 'FOOD GROUPS',  "FATS, CARBS, & PROTEINS" - NOTED & DISCUSSED ABOVE.

-- BUT ODDLY -- JUST TO BE CONFUSING -- THERE ARE ALSO "7" MACRO-"MINERALS" -- MEANING YOU NEED LOTS MORE OF THESE IN QUANTITY THAN THE "MICRO-MINERALS" - OF WHICH THERE ARE APPROXIMATELY '8' ESSENTIAL "MICRO"-MINERALS. (*)

PLUS THERE ARE OVER "70" TRACE MINERALS. (*)

(*) NOW YOU KNOW WHY PEOPLE "GET PROFESSIONAL DEGREES" & TRAINING IN NUTRITION '

I AM CERTIFIED IN SPORTS NUTRITION --

AND TRAINED IN MULTIPLE FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE MINERAL & NUTRITION PROTOCOLS.

[  ANYWAY, -- BACK TO THE MAIN TEXT ]

THE MICRONUTRIENTS INCLUDE:

 "ALL" MACRO & MICRO  & "TRACE" " MINERALS", AND MANY,  MANY "ANTI-OXIDANTS" - {AND ESSENTIAL 'NATURALLY OCCURRING' FOOD "CHEMICALS"} - SUCH AS COMPONENTS OF HERBS, SPICES, AND SO-CALLED "SUPERFOODS".

-- PLUS  ALL TYPES OF PROPER DIETARY FIBER" & PROPER "PREBIOTICS "  - FOR YOU AND YOUR  ESSENTIAL MICROBIOME<- !!

         YET,  HERE:        

....MOST STILL SIMPLY SAY....

....GET YOUR "8" [OR "5"] LARGE GLASSES OF WATER,...

...OR THE EVER POPULAR STYLIZED QUOTE -- "GET YOUR FLUIDS" - !!

[>REMEMBER, "SOURCES" & QUALITY MATTER, -- AND I KNOW OF INEXPENSIVE SAFE HEALTHY SOLUTIONS<]

NOW TALKING ON TOXI NS & TOXIN EXPOSURE THROUGH FOOD SOURCES - !!!

 REMINDER:

...MANY TRAINERS SADLY SIMPLY MENTION TO "GET YOUR MACROS IN"...

...WHILE THEIR MACRO SOURCES' ACTUAL " BIO-AVAILABILITY ",.... -- AND POTENTIAL FOR INADVERTENT OR UNNOTICED & UNRECOGNIZED ("DEADLY-OVER-TIME") TOXINS',... -- GOES UNDISCUSSED & UNADDRESSED, -- AND THEREFORE & UNRESOLVED.

[ THINK POISONS - MERCURY, GLYPHOSATE,  DAMAGING ESTROGENS, ETC -! ]

 [ SOME OF THESE PROVEN PRESENT IN 90+% OF AMERICANS -! ]

 [>PEOPLE GO FOR DECADES WITH THESE VERY OFTEN UNDETECTED & UNADDRESSED<]

THESE OFTEN GO UNADDRESSED BY ALL BUT THE MOST ARDENT & HIGHLY INFORMED TRAINER - !

....COSTING YOUR PROGRESS,... SLOWING YOUR "GAINS",...

...OR INSULTING YOUR HEALTH,....

....OR EVEN BRAIN FUNCTION.

SOMETHING NO ONE WOULD WANT -!!

 NEXT IMPORTANT POINT TO ADDRESS:

 INDIVIDUAL "BIOLOGICAL & ENERGETIC" UNIQUENESS - !! 

PERHAPS YOU "ALREADY KNOW "...  OR PERHAPS CAN LEARN HERE, -- NOW,  (IMMEDIATELY BELOW), --THIS NEXT IMPORTANT "FITNESS INDUSTRY" 'TIDBIT' -!!

>>MOST TRAINERS RELY ON AUTOMATED DIETARY & NUTRITION SOFTWARE, WITH THE LATEST "TRENDING" "BUILT-IN ERRORS & BIASES" <<

{THIS AUTOMATED DIET & NUTRITION SOFTWARE USES FORMULATIONS THAT "CAN'T PREDICT FOR"  -- "NOR ACCOMMODATE" -- SUCH COMMON THINGS AS "THYROID IMBALANCES" , 'CORTISOL EXCESSES ' , 'SLEEP DISTURBANCES' , "IMMUNE CHALLENGES , WORK STRESS," EMF" STRESS EFFECTS, -- OR SOCIAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, -- OR THE NEAR UBIQUITOUS "CHANGING-BRAIN" DEMANDS OF THE "MODERN STRESSFUL LIFE"}.

....{AGAIN, HERE,...THE AUTOMATED "SOFTWARE" -- {OR 'CHART-STYLE' "HAND-FIGURING" FORMULA} -- ATTEMPTS TO DETERMINE YOUR RATIO OF THE THREE "MACRO-NUTRIENTS" -- ('FATS, CARBS, PROTEINS').. .BASED UPON OTHERS' INFO --- USING POPULAR OR "TRENDY" IDEAS OF WHAT  ALLEGEDLY "WORKS" FOR A HYPOTHETICAL  "AVERAGE" INDIVIDUAL....OF THAT  'HEIGHT &  WEIGHT", AND 'ACTIVITY LEVEL' & "AGE".

> KEY HERE IS "ALLEGEDLY" <

       ...SINCE, AGAIN...

 IT'S ALL "HYPOTHETICAL"  ONLY - !

....THE "TOTAL CALORIES" THAT GET "RECOMMENDED", - AND ALL 'PERCENTAGES', - ARE ALL MATHEMATICALLY CALCULATED BY SOME SUPPOSED EXPERT SOMEWHERE THAT CLAIMS TO HAVE CRUNCHED "DATA", - TAKEN OF OTHERS WHOM ARE "NOT YOU" - AND THEN BUILT AN AUTOMATED SYSTEM TO SUPPOSEDLY PREDICT WHAT YOU NEED....

  AGAIN,...

 THIS IS ALL WRONGLY PRESENTED TO THEIR CLIENTELE AS " INDIVIDUALIZED",

-- AS IF THIS IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED - !!??!! - - TO ACHIEVE THE NEXT ARCHETYPAL ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER ", OR " MARIO LOPEZ ", -- OR "NICOLE SCHERZINGER ", OR " HOLLY BERRY ".

    THE HARSH TRUTH IS THIS....

>>> IT IS NOT NECESSARILY " EASY " --!!!! <<

  [ THOUGH IT CAN BE FOR "RARE" FEW ]

  * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

     ...IN FULL TRUTH...

..."GREAT BODIES", -- & "GREAT RESULTS",

-- TYPICALLY TAKES FAR MORE THAN JUST "GREAT MACROS" AND A CONSISTENT "HARD WORKOUT"-!!!

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

...BUT THAT IS WHAT THEY OFTEN "SELL" --

 -- YOU --  

 THE AVERAGE(?)"  FITNESS 'CONSUMER'

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

..BUT LIKELY "YOU" ARE NOT " AVERAGE" -

- OR YOU WOULD NOT BE READING HERE.

>>> LUCKILY, YOU ARE LIKELY PREPARED TO READ A JUST A BIT MORE TO KNOW THE TRUTH <<<

THIS IS ALSO WHERE MY 49,000+ HOURS OF "REAL INDIVIDUALIZED & PROVEN 1-ON-1 COACHING" COME IN.

 HENCE, READ ON, AND NOTE THE SIMPLE FACTS BELOW: 

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

IT TAKES A DETAILED ASSESSMENT OF THE BIOCHEMICAL, HORMONAL, AND 'CONSTITUTIONAL MAKE-UP' OF EACH INDIVIDUAL, -- AS WELL AS THEIR WORK ENVIRONMENT, FAMILY SITUATION, AND OTHER FACTORS -- TO ASCERTAIN THE BEST & "REAL INDIVIDUALIZED PLAN" TO INITIATE, -- AND THEN FOLLOW-UP WITH OVER TIME, FOR THE GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS.

    * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *  

  MEANING  

 * * * * * * * * * * * 

 HARD WORK "ONLY",

   WITHOUT REAL "INTELLIGENCE"...

    ...AND / OR  A "GREAT PLAN"...

  RARELY PAYS OFF.    

 * * * * * * * * * * * 

 HENCE, I HAVE LEARNED A SIMPLE 4 STEP PROCESS 

 FOUR PHASES: 

1)- BEGIN WITH A QUICK & QUALITY LIFESTYLE ASSESMENT & GATHERING ALL RELEVANT PERSONAL INFO,...

2)- "THINK", 'COMMUNICATE', & 'DETERMINE'  WHAT YOU ARE READY TO TAKE ON....

3)- "APPLY" THE PLAN /STRATEGIES AGREED UPON {STILL "THINK & COMMUNICATE" - BUT ALSO NOW "ACT" - USING THE NECESSARY KNOWLEDGE CAREFULLY GAINED}...

4)- "EMBRACE IT", - "GO WITH IT" -  LET THINGS "TAKE OFF".

[REPEAT CYCLE - REPEATEDLY - MOVING FORWARD]

[OF COURSE, "RE-ASSESSING" AND MAKING NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS "AS ONE GOES FORWARD"]

  *   *   *   *   *   *   *    *  

JORDAN, IN THE NBA, IS ONE SUCH STELLAR EXAMPLE OF "HARD WORK & DETERMINATION" PAYING OFF - PLUS HE USED HIS FAVORITE COACH- !

IT WASN'T "EASY", - IT TOOK TIME & EFFORT, [AND REPEATED EFFORT] - & A PLAN - !  -  BUT IT CLEARLY WORKED- !!

INTERESTINGLY,-- AND TRAGICALLY, --THE FITNESS & PERSONAL TRAINING INDUSTRIES STILL REMAIN RIFE WITH OVERLY SIMPLISTIC & REDUCTIONISTIC MODELS THAT ARE OFTEN WHOLLY INEFFECTIVE FOR DEVELOPING SAFE & LASTING CHANGES IN BODY FAT LOSS, HEALTHY MUSCLE GAIN, AND IDEAL WEIGHT MANAGEMENT.

 THIS IS WHERE EXPERIENCE, WISDOM, INTUITION, AND INTELLIGENCE ALL COME IN--

[THINGS I AM IN POSSESSION OF ALREADY,... AND  OPENLY,... HUMBLY, ..ALSO, ALWAYS GROWING IN].

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

 SPEAKING OF BIOLOGICAL INDIVIDUALITY & "UNIQUENESS" 

EACH PERSON'S NEEDS ARE WHOLLY UNIQUE & REQUIRE FULLY INDIVIDUALIZED PLANS.

MANY, OR MOST ALL, -- AT LEAST IN WISCONSIN -- DISCOVER THAT:

THERE IS FAR MORE TO REACHING ONE'S GOALS THAN JUST "HITTING THE GYM" - AND "EATING MORE VEGGIES".

PEOPLE FACE ALL KINDS OF  UNIQUE - AND SOME OFTEN NOT SO UNIQUE - CHALLENGES:

PEOPLE HAVE "OLD INJURIES", [OR "RECENT" ONES], - HORMONE CONCERNS, [OR EVEN DIAGNOSED IMBALANCES], - TOXIC FAT STORAGE FROM EXPOSURE TO CHEMICALS, PESTICIDES, OR SIMPLY OFTEN FROM "DECADES OF 'OLD' TOXIC EATING HABITS", - "JOINT" OR "POSTURAL" CONCERNS, - AND THEY ALSO OFTEN VERY STRONG MENTAL & EMOTIONAL "PREFERENCES" - !!!!

 ALL OF THESE MUST BE MET ADEQUATELY, OR BETTER - !

LUCKILY

THE SOLUTIONS ARE OFTEN AS NUMEROUS AS THE CAUSES OF THE THINGS THEY ARE DEALING WITH.

WE'LL LOOK AT "SOLUTIONS" IN A MATTER OF SECONDS, -- BUT FIRST LET'S LOOK AT "THIS COMMON PATTERN":

HERE ARE 4 OF THE MOST COMMON AILMENTS, ISSUES, OR CONCERNS, -- AND IT TURNS OUT THEY ARE OFTEN HIGHLY INTERCONNECTED - ! - MEANING THEY KEEP  "FEEDING" INTO ONE-ANOTHER- !

& - "ANY '1' OF THESE '4' SEEN BELOW" - "IF NOT SUFFICEINTLY ADDRESSED OR REMEDIED", - WILL TYPICALLY HOLD BACK ALL THE OTHERS - & YOUR PROGRESS - !!

1- "HORMONES" || 2- "POSTURE" || 3- "GUT HEALTH CONCERNS"  || 4- "GENERAL TOXICITY"

ALL OF THESE CAN STEM FROM UNEXPECTED - OR "HIDDEN" - YET EXTREMELY COMMON "PLACES"-- AND YET THEY MUTUALLY REINFORCE ONE ANOTHER !!!!

OFTEN - MOST COME FROM SIMPLY, - YET "DISCRETELY" - FROM THE INTERPLAY OF ONE'S ENVIRONMENT & ONE'S LIFESTYLE.

&

I FULLY KNOW THAT ALL OF THESE & OTHER PROBLEMS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO DIFFICULTY LOSING FAT WEIGHT,..

-- OR TO TROUBLE WITH GAINING 'HEALTHY USEABLE" MUSCLE MASS,...

...OR OTHER GOAL,..

 - SUCH AS "HAVING MORE ENERGY", -

- OR 'SIMPLY FEELING BETTER' "MOOD-WISE" - !

TO WIN - THE CYCLE MUST BE BROKEN & REVERSED.

-- WHETHER IT 'COMES FROM' OR 'INVOLVES' SUCH THINGS AS TOXIN ACCUMULATION,  'SPINAL' OR 'NERVE' ISSUES" , -- "POOR POSTURE", "POOR CIRCULATION", "LYMPHATIC CONCERNS", -- OR "FROM INJURY", -- OR FROM POSSIBLE FORMER MEDICATIONS, "SIMPLE NEGLECT", -- OR FROM AN "OVERWHELMING PAST STRESSFUL EVENT OR PERIOD", OR "LONG-STANDING EMOTIONAL ISSUES", -- OR EVEN FROM "FAMILY OR WORK" STRIFE, - OR  FROM JUST "LIMITED OR POOR ENERGY FLOW" - OR SIMPLY EVEN 'PURPOSEFULLY' "SELECTED" LOW PRIORITIZATION -

IT WON'T MATTER IN ONE SENSE --

AS I AM "SOLUTION" ORIENTED & FOCUSED, -

AND HAVE LIKELY SEEN IT ALL IN MY 32 YEAR CARRER.

   SO BE AS FULLY CANDID & UP-FRONT AS YOU ARE ABLE.

NO SHAME OR EMBARRASSMENT, - THE FOCUS IS ON CHANGE & SUCCESS

THE GETTING "HEALTHIER & BETTER" PROCESS IS QUICKER AND MORE TARGETED THAT WAY -

AND THAT IS THE PRIMARY GOAL & FOCUS IS SUCCESSFUL OUTCOMES, NOT "ONLY" ABOUT 'PAST EVENTS' - BUT A 'BETTER FUTURE'.

TO REVIEW:

OVERCOMING "HIDDEN OR TRICKY" BODY ISSUES, -- WHETHER IN THE HORMONES, THE SPINE, THE GUT, OR ELSEWHERE, -- IS NO SIMPLE PROCESS -- BUT BEING "UP FRONT" & "OPEN" HELPS SPEED SOLUTIONS.

>> THOUGH SOME OF THESE ARE AT TIMES "DIFFICULT TO DERAIL QUICKLY," -- "THEY ARE TYPICALLY VERY CORRECTABLE" <

-&-

SOME APPARENTLY "BIG"-"LOOKING" CHALLENGES ARE SOMETIMES EASY TO ADDRESS 

 BET THAT IS AN "EASY THING TO HEAR" & A "RELIEF TO KNOW"- !!

OTHERS, ADMITTEDLY,  -- CAN BE "LONGER" OR EVEN "TRICKY" --  & CAN INCLUDE:

 -- THE AFOREMENTIONED THYROID ISSUES,..//

-- OR "MERCURY AMALGAM" FILLING POISONING... [IF MANY CHILDHOOD CAVITIES OCCURRED],?? 

-- OR SIMPLY "ESTROGEN DOMINANCE," OR "EXCESS ESTROGEN"....

-- OR SIMPLY A WEAK "HPA- HORMONAL AXIS", // OR A "WEAK LIVER"...

-- OR "CORTISOL EXCESS', -- OR "POOR SLEEP", -- OR THE COMMON "COMBO".

AGAIN:

WHY ARE THESE BEING ADDRESSED & WHY ARE THEY SO IMPORTANT TO TALK ABOUT - !

>>>>ALL OF THESE IMPACT OR CAN "DOWN-REGULATE" MASSIVELY, -- OR EVEN "ELIMINATE ENTIRELY"-- THE RATES OF MUSCLE GAIN AND FAT LOSS,... REGARDLESS OF DIET, CARDIO, "MIND-WORK', ATTITUDE, AND EFFORT IN GENERAL.<<<<<<

 & -- TAKING THESE ON EFFECTIVELY, OFTEN REQUIRES AN "EXPERIENCED COACH" OR 'WISE MENTOR'....

AS NOTED ABOVE:

EVEN THE NBA'S "TOP PLAYER", JORDAN, WAS NO EXCEPTION TO ACKNOWLEDGING THE BENEFITS OF A GREAT COACH.

HE SOUGHT PHIL JACKSON OF THE BULLS, --AND MADE SURE HE HAD JACKSON'S WATCHFUL EYE AND KEEN JUDGEMENT TO DRAW FROM IN HIS MANY CHAMPIONSHIP RUNS.

IT OBVIOUSLY PAID OFF.

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

 DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF "SPINNING YOUR WHEELS", -- AND NOT 'GETTING THE TRACTION' YOU AND YOUR BODY AND CELLS NEED AND DESERVE-- !! 

HIRE A COACH OR MENTOR THAT "GETS" THE COMPLEXITY OF LIFE AND OF YOUR OWN PHYSIOLOGY AND MIND.

AS A TRAINER OF 55 YEARS OF LIVING, AND 49,000+ HOURS OF 1-ON-1 COACHING, I AM NO "NEOPHYTE" -

- AND AM TYPICALLY FAR MORE PREPARED THAN MOST IN THE INDUSTRY TO IDENTIFY THE REAL ANSWERS TO YOUR FITNESS GOALS AND TO KEEP YOU GROWING AND IN CHECK FOR DECADES, IF NEED BE.

 JUST LIKE JORDAN HAD PHIL JACKSON, -- CHOOSING THE RIGHT COACH CAN BE A "GOD-SEND".

 * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 

BEFORE CLOSING OUT THIS SECTION ON "FAT-LOSS" & "MUSCLE-GAIN".... -- ....I WANT TO BE SURE AN TOUCH ON THE RELATED TOPICS OF "ENERGY", VITALITY, AND ANTI-AGING, -- AS WELL.

*  *  *  *  *  *  * 

 TO REVIEW,..

...NOT ALL BODIES RESPOND EQUALLY TO CALORIES OR EVEN TO NUTRIENTS CONSUMED.

THIS CAN OCCUR FOR GENETIC REASONS, HORMONAL REASONS, STRESS-LEVELS, LIFESTYLE ISSUES, TOXICITY INTERPLAY, OR MANY FACTORS.

 NOT EVERYONE -[ACTUALLY, "NO ONE"]- HAS A FIXED PREDICTABLE RESPONSE TO FOODS EATEN OR TO TIMING OF FOODS CONSUMED.

MOREOVER, MACRO & MICRO- MINERAL LEVELS, ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID LEVELS, MICROBIOME HEALTH, AND CURRENT DIGESTIVE CAPACITY ALL MASSIVELY INTERACT WITH ANY NUTRIENT CONSUMED.

 IT IS HIGHLY INDIVIDUALIZED, -- AND "VARIES WIDELY" -- EVEN FROM "DAY-TO-DAY", & AND "MEAL-TO-MEAL", AND "YEAR-TO YEAR", -- TRULY, AGAIN, -- EVEN IN THE SAME INDIVIDUAL.

SIMPLY PUT, CARBOHYDRATES & PROTEINS, [AS WELL AS MANY FATS] ARE UNEQUALLY ABSORBED AND DIFFERENTIALLY UTILIZED BY EVERYONE,

-- AND EVEN THE SAME INDIVIDUAL WILL EXPERIENCE CHANGES IN THEIR RATES OF DIGESTION, ABSORPTION, UTILIZATION OVER TIME, AS CONDITIONS IN AND AROUND THE BODY CHANGE.

{THINK HORMONES, BRAIN HEALTH, MOOD, SLEEP QUALITY, ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS, TOXINS, AND OVERALL- STRESS.}

ALL OF THESE AND MORE WILL IMPACT NEEDS FOR SPECIFIC CHANGES IN OVERALL INDIVIDUAL SPECIFIC AMINO ACID RATIOS, SUGARS, "STARCHES" / FIBERS "PREBIOTICS" / PROBIOTICS, EFA'S, MINERALS, B-VITAMINS, AND VARIOUS SO-CALLED "SUPER-FOODS-!!!"

{THINK "ANTI-OXIDANTS", "ADAPTOGENS", "ANTI-AGING SUPPLEMENTS" - "GLUTATHIONE PRECURSORS", ETC}.

'PROPER LIFESTYLE ASSESSMENTS', -- {EVEN IF ONLY "VERY BRIEF" FOR SOME} -- BOTH "AT THE OUTSET", AND "ON-GOING"-- ARE NECESSARY AND ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS TO GETTING THE DIETARY AND SUPPLEMENT REGIME DOWN PAT, AND WORKING DYNAMICALLY TO ASSURE OPTIMAL RESULTS OVER THE "FULL SUCCESSFUL LIFETIME" ONE IS HERE.

WHERE ANY "STICKING POINT" OR "BIG CHALLENGES" SHOULD ARISE, -- MY EXTENSIVE BACKGROUND WITH "QUALITY, COMPASSIONATE, AND EFFECTIVE" 'LIFESTYLE COUNSELING' WILL ALSO BE OFFERED -- TYPICALLY "READILY CONNECTING EACH PERSON'S GROWING WISDOM" & "COMMITMENT TO EFFECTIVE SELF-CARE", -- TO VARIOUS INFORMATION, ANSWERS, OR PERSPECTIVES,  -- & THEREBY; -- PROVIDING THE NECESSARY OPPORTUNITIES FOR EVEN GREATER, FOCUS, ENERGY, VITALITY, AND RESULTS.
