I’m doubling down on my health this year by installing systems, not chasing hype. Sharing this because it’s genuinely moved the needle for me. The list below is ranked by impact. 1) IFBB pro bodybuilding coach: She's programmed my nutrition, lifts, BJJ, and cardio. I'm no longer sitting at my desk researching and optimizing endlessly. I'm executing. I fed her my goal (aesthetic physique, V-taper, and visible abs) and she made the plan, end of the story. 2) Learning to cook like a bodybuilder: I cook chicken and rice in my instant pot. I cook the ground beef in an inch of water in a pot. No oil. Recovery and health have never been better, makes me question why I haven't been doing this my whole life. 3) Joined BJJ: Plan to go 3x per week. Fires your sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight), makes everything else easier in life, and makes you feel like a total bad ass even if you get whooped all day. And its a fun cool sport. Also boosts T. 4) Pill Counter labeled with days: I had bottles of supplements sitting around, now I take my multi, fishoil, vit D, ect daily and consistently. 5) Red Light Therapy: Acts on mitochondrial level so there are numerous benefits that made me curious. Literature says its good for skin, healing, energy, muscle recovery, ect. Biggest thing I've noticed is fresh younger looking skin. It's also fun to do. 6) White Light Therapy: Help regulate circadian rhythm and blast my retina with a signal to wake up which helps overcome these gloomy cloudy Chicago days with only 4 hours of sunlight. Noticed a difference right away. 7) Haven't implemented this yet but planning to phase out products for healthier alternatives. Soaps, shampoos, body washes can have endocrine disrupting chemicals. These bind to your estrogen receptors which feminizes you. Also getting rid of these premade protein shakes sadly (I drink Premier protein and it tastes sooo good). They have a crap ton of artificial sweeteners and carrageen which has been used in lab setting to induce IBD/Colitis/Gut inflammation. CBUM's RAW looks like its ok, but better to just use whey powder. Chronic disease doesn't show up until its too late.

One thing I underestimated in my 20s was how much energy consistency matters socially. When your sleep, nutrition, and recovery are dialed in: • you show up sharper • conversations flow easier • people want you around Curious what habits other guys here use to stay on point while traveling or working long hours.

Hi, new here. I want to focus on improving myself rather than focus on the networking aspect of things (for now). Part of the reason is that I recently got into self improvement journey and enjoying more than anything these days. The other part is, I want to look somewhat good before I can go out and meet new people. And even then I want to meet men with whom I can do business with. What things do I need to do to achieve that? Also, broke af right now.

As some of you may know, I work in animation. A show that I've been helping these 2 writers with for the last 2 years, was picked up for the pilot, so we can add director to my fucking resume!
