I was so impressed with the Quebec Veteran Foundation's fundraiser and hanging with fellow VGFAF member @Marie-Noel Duhaime that I completely forgot to post the Friday Check In. Over $250k raised for the beauty of an organization (they're ones that subsidize the ATHENA Program FYI). But they're the only ones left looking after our WWII heroes in Canada. Here I'm posing with city councillor and recently qualified, Sterling Downey and if you're a Canadian GWOT veteran, you know Uncle Walt. Next time, I'll have to take a shot with Marie Noel too. The Quebec Veteran Foundation is the only charity going to bat for CAF veterans to ensure they're long-term health is taken care of. It's also one of the only ones actually run by a veteran and VGFAF member @Jon Audet Stay tuned for more collabs between the my new H2K Foundation and them in the future. That's all to say, make sure to check in. Two weeks to go!

It's been decided. Our next workshop will be about PEPTIDES 💥 These are the clever little molecules that run the show in our bodies. You know one already - INSULIN INSULIN is a peptide HORMONE. All they are is chains of proteins that do stuff all over the body. The reason why we're going to look at them and learn as a community is because they're exploding in popularity due to the fact that WEGOVY or OZEMPIC are GLP-1 agonists which is a PEPTIDE! Veterans are being prescribed them left right and center. What are the benefits, the costs and the actual science surrounding them? That's what we're gonna cover. THIS WORKSHOP is FREE to everyone in the VGFAF and TEMPERED communities. WHEN: Oct 23rd, noon EST WHERE: Google Meets Let me know in the comments that you want to attend and I'll send you the sign up link. 👇

Feels pretty damn good so far! Wanted to share a little throwback picture 😂 Let’s just say there was a time where “just one drink” was more of a suggestion than a rule 😂🍷 Taking a little break from the booze, taking care of myself and enjoying the ride. Still having fun, just a little more hydrated these days 😂 Cheers gang! 🍻… well, with water for now 😂

I’m in king mode. I’m looking to figure out different methods to deal with pain and inflammation. I took this picture on the last day of September. I’ve beed dealing with shoulder tendinitis, and I’m trying to figure out how to get back to the place where I can do chin ups (or pull-ups… I’m not picky).
