@ks333k I work mostly with men with high-stress lives.
When stress is not addressed, they can’t build muscle mass or lose fat, and their nervous system is a mess.
Many don’t know:
Stress causes the adrenal glands to produce stress hormones 24/7.
Some people overproduce these adrenal hormones due to both emotional and physical stress.
Over time, this leads to chronic sodium retention, which causes the body to hold onto extra water.
Little-known fact:
Vitamin C recycles Vitamin E.
Vitamin E protects your cells from damage (it's called the fertility vitamin for a reason).
If your Vitamin E gets depleted, your recovery, energy, and brain function all take a hit.
Even if your cortisol levels are normal in your blood work, be aware of the big 3 risk factors: chronic stress, restrained eating (dieting), or sleep deprivation.
Fat cells can produce their fat-storing cortisol via reactivation of inactive cortisol by the HSD enzyme.
This leads to higher cortisol levels within fat cells and a further increase in fat storage and the size of fat cells.
HSD is the body’s “fat storage” enzyme.
One of the functions is to convert inactive cortisol ( cortisone) back into active cortisol, which then
functions as a potent fat-storage signal within fat cells.
In simple words, cortisol is as important as your diet when reducing fat.
Breakfast is still the most important meal of the day.
If you skip it you're just pumping adrenaline like a maniac. And you will age faster.
If you care about your metabolic health, breakfast is a priority.
When building your dream body, be smart with your strategy:
• Go hard when training (100% focus)
• Slow down to prevent injuries
• Analyze the risk involved when increasing weights
• Find the unique system that's getting you consistent results

As a man you have to realize that life is a war.
I went through multiple break-ups. My best friends let me down in tough situations. My health started to take a hit when bad habits started to govern.
I accepted it. And I just moved on.
Life becomes peaceful this way.
You are not your parents. And your kids will be even weaker.
It's your choice to at least aim to get yourself in the best situation regarding fitness and health.
Strong body = strong mind.
And vice-versa.
During the holidays at the dinner table...
Older people usually complain about their health situation.
Just imagine, they are genetically stronger.
They hadn't been exposed to so many toxins (EMFs, artificial food, free iron, xenos, heavy metals, and so on).
