Good morning guys. Another beautiful, sunny, 75 degree day in Southern California. Last Saturday, I talked about being a “frequent eater.” Below are the foods that I had on Thursday and the times I ate. Remember that each person needs a different amount of calories, food ratios(fats, carbs, proteins), types of foods, and frequencies. I recommend eating free range meats, pastured eggs, organic fruits/vegetables, raw dairy and goat milk.
As you can see in my food plan, I eat alot of the same foods all day long. The next day I rotate my foods so I am not eating the same foods everyday. To learn what foods are good for your unique body type give me a call or shoot me an email anytime.

P.S.-I also had a nice extended yoga/stretching session before bed and when you add in the raw goat milk with raw, unheated honey I slept like a baby.
Good morning Dunamis world. I slept like a baby last night. I drank some raw goat milk with some honey before bed last night and that did the trick. I just finished off some pastured eggs with coconut oil, unpasteurized OJ and organic raspberries to kick off my day. Then I had a nice bowel movement and now it’s go time. Enjoy the video below.
I hope you all had a nice week and are having a restful Saturday. I woke up this morning and had eggs with coconut oil, orange juice and raspberries to kick off my day. I want to encourage all of you to become frequent eater’s where you are having 5-6 smaller meals and not the traditional 3 bigger meals. Try and eat every 2-3 hours of possible. In order to do that you must be prepared and plan ahead. I also encourage you to carry a cooler of foods with you where ever you go. When you eat to much food at a meal it can cause blood sugar issues which causes an increase in the release of insulin which then converts the excess sugar into fat. Guess where the fat is then stored? Yep, your stomach, thighs, and hips. Isn’t that fun?
As I have already said about 9 million times, each person needs to find the right types of foods for their unique biochemical needs, with the right ratios of fats, carbs, and proteins, at the right frequencies.

In my personal workouts I have been working on my pull-up and chin-up skills along with working on flex-arm hang with my students. I came across this video by Charles Polaquin yesterday and I thought you all would enjoy it as well. The last couple weeks I have been focusing on body weight exercises only, to take a load off of my body and let it rest a bit from using heavier weights.
Watch the video below by my friend Josh Rubin. Remember, as Josh said in his video that you need to find the right types of foods for YOU. You need to find the right ratios of carbs, fats, and proteins for YOU. You need to find the right frequencies of foods for YOU. We are all different and have different needs. Call or email anytime if you want to sign up for my program and get dialed in.
Last week I talked about how Blair specific chiropractic changed my life. To learn more about Blair read below. IT COULD CHANGE YOUR LIFE!

What is the Blair Technique?
The Blair chiropractic technique is a specific system of analyzing and adjusting the upper cervical vertebrae of the spinal column. When these vertebrae misalign in such a way as to interfere with the brain stem and spinal cord as they exit through the floor of the skull and into the neural canal. Special attention is given to the first two cervical vertebrae, the atlas and axis, as they are the most freely moveable vertebrae in the spinal column and the ones most commonly misaligned.
After many years of research and study of all the techniques that were developing at the time, Dr. B.J. Palmer the developer of chiropractic realized that the only place a person could truly have interference to the nervous system was at the level of the base of the skull; and the atlas and axis vertebrae. There are no intervertebral discs between the skull and the atlas, or between the atlas and axis vertebrae. Most movement of the head and neck occur at this level. The joint surfaces in this area move more on a horizontal plane rather than a vertical plane as in the rest of the spine. This area is not supplied with the abundance of supporting ligaments that are found in the rest of the spine. As a result of these characteristics of the cervical spine, it becomes the weakest link in the chain when exposed to the forces of trauma such as the birth process, falls, auto accidents, stress etc.

In my last post I talked about my goal of staying functional and pain free as possible as I age. It is very important to me to be able to play many sports at a high level. With that said when I met JP Sears, he told me that before we start working together I need to see a “Blair Specific Chiroptractor.” I am assuming you like me said what the heck is that? To learn more about Blair Specific Chiropractic click here and if you are in the Southern California area click here. Watch the video below that I posted about a year ago to see how Blair changed my life for the better.
Note-in the video I say I am leaking “spinal fluid” out of my disc. What I meant to say was my disc is drying out. If I was leaking spinal fluid that would be a big problem.
When I took my first CHEK HLC class 7 years ago I was able to watch Paul Chek workout live, and it was quite impressive and unlike anything I had seen before. I am 38 years old with a small scoliosis and have disc desiccation in my L4-L5, L5-S1 area from playing sports and lifting improperly way back in the day, and now it’s very important to me to stay as functional and pain free as possible as I age. Paul is 50 and in incredible shape and it’s possible for you as well no matter how sedentary you are.
I was told by my doctor when I was 25 that I should not surf anymore or strength train because of my back issues. I listened for about 6 months then my mind and body was telling me that was not right. All these years later I am very strong in all the primal pattern movements and have learned how to keep my body in good working condition. You would think that with my back issues I would be getting worse but I still surf, weight train, play tennis, jog and engage in many other activities at a high level.
If my post is speaking to you I encourage you to contact JP Sears or Josh Rubin as they can get you dialed in with a fitness program that is specific to your unique needs. JP Sears has been training me for years now and without his teaching and knowledge I would be in a world of hurt by now. If you need help with nutrition, stress, sleep issues, mental/emotional issues, and lab testing contact me anytime I would love to speak with you.
Good Saturday to you! I mentioned before that I teach physical education and I added a new feature to my PE website called “Exercise Of The Week.” I thought I would share the latest video with you all. Enjoy.
In this video you will see a series of push-up progressions: traditional right angle push-up, right angle push using one leg, push-up feet on swiss ball, push-up hands on swiss ball, push-up hands on bongo balance board. If you are a beginner you can start in a modified push-up position where you start on your knees and hands on ground. You can also take it to a higher level with feet on swiss ball and hands on bongo board.
Some of the muscles used in a push-up are: pectoralis major, anterior deltoideus, and triceps. If you elevate your feet you focus on your upper pectorals and elevate your torso to focus on lower pectorals. You can also vary how wide your hands are. Start with your hands about shoulder width apart.
Just got done with a 15 minute “working-in” full body session. After teaching physical education all day and having to deal with crazy middle schoolers, I needed to de-stress and unwind a bit. If you are reading this right now most likely you are a bit stressed as well. It could be nutritional stress, work, exercise, mental/emotional stress, or finanacial stress. If that is you I encourage you to incorporate some “work-in” activities. The main effect of the exercises in a work-in routine is that they cultivate more energy than they
expend, leaving enough energy to stimulate and fortify your healing processes (Paul Chek). To Keep things simple “working-out” can take alot out of you especially in a stressed state and make things worse inside and outside of your body.
With that said try things such as slow walking, breathing exercises, light stretching, yoga, praying, meditating, or tai chi. I recommend you buy the book “How To Eat, Move and Be Healthy” by Paul Chek and do the zone exercises he recommends. For me I have some low back issues from lifting weights and from sports injuries and working-in has helped me with my light pain and kept me functional and overall feeling good. My inflammation has definately gone down. Watch your energy improve, digestion get better, sleep deepen, and your mental functions improve.
