New Course 👨🏻🏫 Need Students
I’ve successfully navigated VAC and PCVRS to receive my DEC here in Canada 🇨🇦 It’s been years of effort, dedication and frustration to finally end up with my veteran benefits. I’ve since helped a few of my friends navigate this difficult process. Now, I’m ready to share my experience and knowledge with you. I’m contemplating building a comprehensive course for Canadian veterans. It doesn’t exist anywhere. Would you be interested in learning about how to maximize and apply for your VAC benefits?

VAC is exactly like an insurance company. Smiling and supportive front but they do not pursue "clients" to offer benefits. There was a period when I needed my Wife to sit in on meetings with VAC because I was easily confused and cognitively disabled. So, yes, there is an alloted sum of cash for each Veteran and their families. A course or informative talk would be of tremendous use to us all. I would like to hear more about the ones that those 25% of Veterans do apply for Dave. Cheers, Mark

Blood Pressure - Know Your Science
Last week during our BE.A.S.T. Knowledge lesson, I discussed blood pressure and its implications for your health. This topic is important since it's directly correlated to your metabolic health. 88% of North Americans fail the metabolic health test. To be considered metabolically unhealthy, you must have ONE of the following conditions: - High Blood Pressure - High Triglycerides - Low HDL Cholesterol - Insulin Resistance - Waist Circumference above 40 inches The biggest takeaway is that ALL of these cofactors are treatable with diet and exercise. Pills will acutely "FIX" the issue but fundamentally, we want to fix the root cause not the symptom. All members of the BE.A.S.T. Program get weekly access to our calls and Q&A sessions. If you'd like to find out how to become a BEAST, send me a DM.

Sorry that I missed this discussion. My BP was dangerously high when I began the Be.A.S.T program. I also had an appointment with a doctor and he suggested a change with my blood pressure medication. Not the dosage but the time of day that I was taking the medication. I am 53 years of age and headed straight into the program. I did all of the exercises, every day. The medication change happened after a week into the program. So, my body was used to having medication at night, before bed. The doctor changed it to the morning. So, there was a short period where my body was shocked (for lack of a better word) with a medication change and intense exercise. Diet change on top of all that and I guess my body was not happy. Two weeks later and I am losing weight, feeling much better and eager to get back into the program routine. However......I have to keep with very light exercise (walking) anlnd diet. This is after discussion with Dave and his team. My bloodwork results and the way forward with a doctor's followup appointment will be in a couple of weeks. Will brief everyone when I have something to pass on. For now.....I keep moving forward. I can still keep the ball rolling and stay the course. Hope this helps others know that they are not alone and that your efforts are worth it! You are worth it! 🙂 Keep moving troops!

Killing The Fat Kid - Carnivore Updates 🍖
Carnivore month is done! I'm quite happy with the results. 💥Weight lost: 13 lbs 💥Inches off waist: 3 in 💥Energy levels: higher This was a rather easy way to lose holiday weight. I didn't track macros; I just ate. The next two months will be way more difficult because I'll be cutting weight for a BJJ fight and need to be able to perform athletically. Stay tuned for updates. HOW DID YOU DO? Let us know in the comments
