Putting ME FIRST
Your emotional and mental well-being shape everything else in your life: energy, relationships, performance, even physical health. ๐Ÿ’† Thatโ€™s why this space is all about checking in with yourself and sharing the things youโ€™re doing daily to take care of you. ๐Ÿง˜ Took time for meditation or journaling today? Went for a walk to clear your head? Chose to disconnect from screens for a while? Share it here. Every small act of self-care counts - and your share might inspire someone else to do the same. Weโ€™re building habits that keep us grounded, balanced, and ready to take on lifeโ€™s challenges, together. ๐Ÿ’ญ So, what did you do today to put YOU first?

Update: What I thought was me getting 'a bit sick' actually took me down for DAYS. I was having my home for myself for a few days, and had planned all sorts of deep focus sessions. Nope - plans changed. I had to rest, and sleep, and deal with an aching body. Had to be ok with: - Needing much more recovery time than I anticipated (and was hoping for) - Not working much those days and getting my plans 'ruined' The great news are: I AM BACK (almost at 100% now). But those 2 lessons remain valuable.

I work from home - almost every single day. Maybe that's the reality for some of you too... And sometimes I miss human connection. And it's not about having to be talking to many different people, or doing "extrovert" stuff, lol. That's not really me. But just being around people can make us feel... as we belong. Simple as that, right? So don't forget to add some human interaction on your routine. It is an act of self love and an important pillar of longevity. If you can, spend time with people you love, but also expose yourself to new ideas and places. Some of my breakthroughs came from leaving my comfort zone!
What's your view on GLP-1 AGONISTS?
That's a very hot topic at the moment, and I thought I'd bring it here - AS LONG AS we all remain friends, and civil. Do we have a deal? To get things started, let's explain what GLP-1 AGONISTS are and then I'll share my humble thoughts. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are medications that mimic the natural GLP-1 hormone produced in the gut after eating. TRANSLATION: it's a drug that mimics a natural hormone we produce that slows down our digestion, signals satiety, and regulates blood sugar. So... GLP-1 agonists. Good or bad? Neither; or both. You pick the answer you'd like. But I can give my humble opinion in the meantime. We've developed this unhealthy habit to pick one side of the fence in virtually every topic. But life is rarely so 'black and white'. And it's in ignoring all the shades of grey in between that we become deaf to benefits, risks, and circumstances. Recent research has shown benefits of such drugs in health optimization. It shows valid promise, but I won't focus on this side of it as I feel like it's still niche. But these โ€˜weight loss drugsโ€™ can also be extremely beneficial to a wide array of individuals - they have proven to be a powerful ally against morbid obesity and to reduce disease risk in people with metabolic disorders. So why wouldn't you use that powerful weapon to your favor? Now, using it to drop a few quick kgs before summer wouldn't be my best depiction of proper use. Taking any drugs should come with knowledge of benefits, risks, potential side effects - even psychological ones. We, humans, are very prone to developing body perception disorders and have to prepare for it when usage stops. So more important than loving it or hating it, I am on the side of personal circumstances - with the oversight of a qualified specialist. Go learn more about it, then ask yourself first: 'Do I REALLY think I need it?' or 'Why is it that I want it?' That's already a great initial filter. I am of the opinion that I wouldnโ€™t use it unless I had a health issue that could justify it. Yeah - talking about myself here - why would I meddle with someone elseโ€™s life?

I'm a Longevity Coach - What does that mean?
I talk a lot about exercise, nutrition, sleep, wellbeingโ€ฆ and it occurred to me that some of you might be asking yourselves a more fundamental question: ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜บ? ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฒ ๐—œ'๐—บ ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—น๐—น - ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜'๐˜€ ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ. ๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐˜† ๐—ต๐—ผ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง ๐˜„๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐˜†๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ธ. ๐—œ ๐—”๐—  ๐—ฎ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต, ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€ ๐—œ ๐—ฎ๐—บ ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐—˜๐—ก๐—”๐—•๐—Ÿ๐—˜๐—ฅ. No one has or should have all the answers while pursuing their goals. I needed some help, and it's likely that you do too or will at some point! A different perspective from someone who has walked the path we're walking can teach, give clarity, or the push we were much in need of. When it comes to longevity and healthier living, I might be able to provide the missing pieces from your puzzle. And THAT'S why I talk about it. Everyone deserves to reach their goals. And we shouldn't refuse any help along the way imo. ๐—ฆ๐—ผ if this resonates, I'm your guy, your guide, or just a friend along the way. And if you want to go deeper into your personal journey, well - you already know where to find me.

To lose weight, you need to be in a caloric deficit - simple as that. But HOW you create that deficit matters for how easy it is to sustain and what you actually lose along the way (fat vs muscle, for instance). Let's learn the ins and outs of that process? When you eat carbs, blood glucose rises. Insulin kicks in to 'escort' that glucose into muscles, liver, and other tissues. But insulin also sends another message: "Energy is available! Let's use this glucose for fuel and store some as fat. Let's pause fat burning for now." This is normal metabolism. But if insulin keeps constantly high from: โ€ข Frequent eating (keeps insulin elevated all day) โ€ข High-glycemic foods (cause big insulin spikes) This is the result: ๐——๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ณ๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ฑ๐˜€ (๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜‚๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ต): Fat burning is suppressed.

I've heard a lot of back and forth on the topic, but what SEEMS to be the current overall agreement is that: calories determine IF you lose weight, but diet quality determines HOW you feel and WHAT you lose.

VO2 max is often branded as the best predictor of how long you'll live. Wanna understand why? Our bodies need oxygen to produce energy efficiently. VO2 max is basically the metric we use to quantify what's the maximum amount of oxygen your body is currently able to use to make energy. It's the point where your heart can't pump more oxygen to your muscles - even if you breathe in more air. You've reached your max during an exercise - your heart will be beating out of your chest. You can't go further because well, you lack the energy for it. Got it? And it happens that VO2 max is one of the strongest predictors of all-cause mortality. That means it predicts your risk of dying from anything - heart disease, cancer, stroke, even dementia. Going from low fitness to just below average cuts your mortality risk by 50%. From low to above average? That's a 70% reduction in risk. Every single point increase in your VO2 max adds about 45 days to your life expectancy. So how do you improve it? With aerobic exercise. Running, cycling, swimming... But the real magic happens with high-intensity interval training. Short bursts of hard effort followed by recovery. You gotta push your body to 'force it' to adapt. Your VO2 max reflects how well your heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles work together. It's a full-system health marker. So I hope the message is clear: improving your VO2 max should be a priority. Now get moving!
What's on the MENU today?
Nutrition is one of the most powerful tools for longevity - but also one of the easiest to lose track of. Every day, every meal, weโ€™re making decisions that either move us closer to our goals or further away. And those choices, repeated over time, shape who we become. ๐Ÿ‘‰ Thatโ€™s why weโ€™re adding a bit of accountability to the mix. ๐Ÿฒ Had a nutrient-packed breakfast? Tried a new recipe? Managed to skip that ultra-processed snack thatโ€™s been calling your name? โ™ป๏ธ Share it here! Inspire others, and letโ€™s build a space where healthy eating becomes second nature. Weโ€™ll celebrate good choices, exchange tips, and remind each other that nutrition doesnโ€™t have to be perfect. It just has to be intentional. So, whatโ€™s on the MENU today?

Woke up feeling funny today, and decided to ask ChatGPT what kinds of tee could help me out. - Garlic tea was one of the answers Does anyone have experience with that? Was it actually helpful? Wanted to hear your thoughts before committing to a breath that will keep my partner away from me the whole day.

Not a dish today, but enjoying a cup of warm coffee while working from my local cafe! That - plus browsing on the world's best longevity community ;)
