I'm checking in with the group to let you guys know where I'm at and what i'm thinking. For my benefit and yours. hopefully it helps . I've been off of all testosterone and peptides for 5-6 months, I was lowering the amount and cycling on and off for the last couple of years because of testing and I also was preparing to get off. I have successfully done it. My mental health is great, my sexual health is great, and my weight was great until about a month ago. I started gaining weight and I decided to get my metabolism and homones going by lifting weights. So I'm about one month into a natty power building bulk.. I would say its a lean bulk but I havent been that concerned with food. I still don't eat sugar. My plan going forward is to begin to get leaner by restricting my calories while maintaining protein to keep the new muscle I'm putting on. I'm making a commitment to become lean and hit a peak of about 8-10% body fat in the spring. This body transformation is part of a bigger plan. Fuel and energy for my goals in 2026 that include this group. What can I do to help you guys add body transformation to your life in the coming months? Do you want a challenge, resources, training call? Should we offer paid coaching? Or maybe we can include this into the paid group we are going to open "High Table". Let's talk more about it on my training call next week.

I want to give you guys a push this morning.. when I'm feeling great, I'm going to share the energy with you. I'm going to be direct. Let's go. There’s a version of you that’s been waiting for years. Stop postponing your own greatness. This program only works if you do. No halfway. No hesitation. No bullshit. You want a new life? Decide. You want a new identity? Commit. You want to unlock real power? Step forward. Everything changes the moment you do. Get in. Lock in. Become who you were built to be. Can't wait to show you guys some of my ideas and speak from the heart in 8 days. I'll be teaching and discussing 2026 goals and how you can do something you've never done before. How you can crush it next year. How are you doing this week? Heres the link to the event, you should get an email the day before reminding you. 8325e3c9512f496c9dbda1daf73ef78a

Most people think late-night eating only hurts their waistline because of extra calories. It’s bigger than that. It’s biology… Here’s what actually happens when you eat close to bedtime: As evening hits, your brain releases melatonin. It’s the signal that the day is over… metabolism is powering down… and the body is preparing for recovery, not digestion. When melatonin rises, two things shift: 1. Insulin sensitivity drops. Your muscles, liver, and fat cells respond less effectively to insulin. So the same bowl of pasta at 9 p.m. drives a higher blood sugar spike than it would at 1 p.m. 2. Insulin production decreases. The pancreas releases less insulin to move glucose into cells… which means more circulating blood sugar and a greater likelihood of fat storage. That’s the FIRST hit to your waistline. But then the SECOND hit shows up through a drawn out chain of events… Eating late disrupts sleep quality. Digestion keeps your core temperature up… your heart rate elevated… and your nervous system active. Poor sleep throws off your hunger hormones: • Leptin… the hormone that tells you you’re full… drops • Ghrelin… the hormone that tells you you’re hungry… rises So you end up craving more food… especially sugar and quick energy… and feeling less satisfied when you eat it. Eat more, less satisfied—> eat more! That’s how late-night eating hurts you twice: Less insulin sensitivity at night… then altered appetite the next day. This isn’t about perfection or shame. Life happens. Late dinners happen. Kids, work, travel, stress… all real. But if you’re trying to tighten the waistline, improve sleep, or just feel better during the day… the simplest shift is this: Finish your last meal 2–3 hours before bed. It gives your metabolism time to shut down… protects sleep… and lets your hormones work for you instead of against you. Small changes. Big outcomes. Compounded over time.
