PROTEIN: How much do we need to build muscle?

….I took these photos early 2015. I had been 100% plant-based for about 4 years. I was consuming about 1.5 grams of protein per kg of bodyweight. 🚀 ⁣ I was stacking muscle, PR’ing my heaviest lifts & got pretty lean too.⚡️⁣⁣

Nov 2013 I was the heaviest I had ever been.

…I had become a slave to the unreasonable, unsustainably strict regimen I had implemented while training for those bikini shows and to look super lean and tiny on my wedding day.

(From November 2017.)

Thank you so much @drewsiv for coming by and saying hi!

Drew saw my post yesterday and came by to visit at the @landroverusa event in Venice today. He shared his incredible story with me: he said he had been following me for years and struggled with his weight due to a debilitating injury.

Answer Me This (and Snowboard Snacks)

It has been proven to me time and time again through my work that the magic lies in the little, not-so-noticeable things, and that the smallest changes WILL ALWAYS yield the most admirable results.
Just think about hormones. These teeny, tiny things that are an invaluable part of your system control everything from appetite to mood, to sex drive, to energy level, to hair growth, to pregnancy and the list goes on. Yet you can only see them under a high-tech microscope. So small, yet one the most powerful forces I can think of!

Your Job VS Your Body

…Most of us act with alot of integrity at work. Despite what the media says about the sharks and the evil middle managers, etc. etc., I have met so many stand-up people who go above and beyond at their jobs. They treat people with respect in their workplace.

Managers, foremen, captains and all other bosses protect and stand up for the little guys at work, the ones with less pull than them. They are relied on, and they look out for and protect, as much as they can, the safety of everybody’s jobs…

Do You Have A Morning Routine?

Do you have a morning routine? How do you typically start each day?

Does it revolve around the acquisition of coffee and chocolate-injected croissants? Or is it a bit more complex? Does your morning routine have a pre-meditated purpose or outcome, other than to just keep your eyeballs propped open?

It is said that the first task a person completes each day are directly proportional to their level of success, both professionally and personally…
