Wearables are getting smarter… but don’t let the data replace wisdom ⌚️🧠 Fitness trackers have evolved way past step counts—and that’s not hype. Wearable technology was ranked the #1 fitness trend for 2024 by ACSM, and the newest devices can track things like HRV (stress/recovery), SpO₂, and in some cases even ECG. I love good data—when it helps you make better decisions. But I’ve also watched people become prisoners of their dashboards… and miss the basics that actually move the needle: real food, sleep, hydration, strength training, sunlight, stress management. Bedrock reminder: Trackers are tools. Not truth. They should inform your choices, not override your body. Here’s how we use wearables the Bedrock way ✅ Patterns over perfection (trends matter more than one “bad” night) ✅ Recovery over grind (HRV + sleep + soreness guide intensity) ✅ Clues, not diagnoses (ECG/rhythm features can flag issues, but they’re not a substitute for a clinician) Why this matters inside Bedrock (and why we partner with Garmin + Hume) We don’t just “collect data.” We translate it into a plan. That’s why we partner with Garmin (including devices with FDA-cleared ECG capability) …and Hume (Body Pod + Band) for body composition + metabolic insight—so our clients can access wearables at a discount and actually use the information with guidance. Your wearable can show what’s happening. Your Bedrock plan helps explain why—and what to do next. Quick self-check If your tracker is increasing anxiety, obsession, or guilt… it’s time to reset the relationship. Comment “WEARABLE” and tell me what you use (Garmin/Apple/Fitbit/Hume/Oura). Attached you can download the Top 5 metrics we look at and how we use them to support your goals—without turning your life into a spreadsheet.

Methylene blue is everywhere right now… podcasts, reels, “biohacker” stacks, you name it. Here’s the problem: 🔹 It’s not a harmless blue vitamin 🔹 It can interact dangerously with common meds (especially antidepressants/SSRIs) 🔹 Quality is all over the place – some products are literally industrial dye I don’t want our community guessing doses from the internet or ordering mystery-blue liquid from random sites.I do want you educated, protected, and supported inside a full Rooted Faith × Bedrock plan. This is not Pro or Anti Methylene Blue. I actually think this is a very useful tool, but it can be very dangerous when misused. That’s why I created a new resource: 👉 “Is Methylene Blue Right for You? A Practitioner’s Guide to Using It Safely” Inside, you’ll learn:• What methylene blue actually is (and isn’t)• Why people are talking about it for brain, energy & recovery• The very real risk factors & medication interactions you must know• Why we only use vetted sources like Compass Labs• How we decide, together, if it even belongs in your protocol This is not a DIY dosing guide. It’s a safety-first education piece + next steps if you want our help. I also created a quiz for you to see if MB is right for you.

⚡ Why BioAge Is Different (and Why We Use It) If you’ve heard us talk about BioAge a lot lately, here’s why: BioAge isn’t just another “NMN supplement.”It’s one of the most intelligently designed, real-world NAD+ support tools we’ve found — and honestly, nothing else we’ve seen checks the same boxes. Here’s what makes BioAge a category of its own: ✅ Upstream strategy that respects biologyWe don’t just chase the end product. We support your body’s ability to build and regulate NAD+ wisely. ✅ Meaningful formula synergyNMN + pterostilbene isn’t a trendy add-on — it’s a strategic pairing for cellular resilience and longevity signaling. ✅ Delivery that actually makes senseMost NMN products are capsules with inconsistent absorption.BioAge’s oral dissolvable strip is designed for more efficient, consistent daily use. ✅ Practical, daily, sustainableNAD+ injections and infusions can be powerful in specific cases — but they’re expensive and not realistic as an everyday foundation for most people. So when do we want to boost NAD+? When your body is showing signs of cellular energy strain or reduced resilience, such as: - low energy or slow recovery - brain fog - metabolic slowdown - age-related performance decline - stacked stress + poor sleep patterns - long seasons of inconsistent foundational habits Why we often choose NMN (not just NAD+ therapy) Because we’re building a long-term foundation, not a short-term spike.NMN supports your body’s own NAD+ pathway in a way that aligns with how we practice at Bedrock: Foundations first. Smart upgrades second. 📥 Download now This resource breaks down: - why NAD+ matters - why NMN is often the better daily strategy - what makes BioAge superior to typical options - and how to set expectations clearly (including international alternatives) If you’re a client who wants to understand the why behind our recommendations — this is for you.

Curious if your infrared sauna is actually helping you heal—or just making you sweaty? In this download, we walk you through exactly how to use infrared sauna safely and effectively so you can support heart health, circulation, joint comfort, recovery, detox pathways, mood, and sleep without overdoing it. Inside you’ll learn the difference between traditional and infrared saunas, who should not use sauna without medical clearance, how heat affects your cardiovascular and detox systems, and a simple step-by-step protocol (when to go, how long, what temperature, and how often). You’ll also get a practical checklist and tips for stacking sauna with prayer, movement, nutrition, sleep, and sunlight as part of your whole-life healing plan. We’ve also included a 1-page Infrared Sauna Quick-Start Guide with beginner and “build-up” settings, safety reminders, and a post-sauna checklist so you always know exactly what to do before, during, and after each session. Download the full guide + quickstart, read through the safety section first, and then start low and slow. The goal is to step out feeling refreshed and resilient—not wiped out.

Here’s what we know: 1. The brain not only requires but thrives on healthy fats 2. Excess carbohydrates in the standard American diet lead to metabolic disease which affects the brain, cognition, memory, mood and more. Here’s how that played out in a large scale study using MRI data, now correlation is not causation, of course, but this is consistent with findings we see where keto can restore cognitive function after TBI, TIA, epilepsy and alzheimers. What it suggests though is that even small changes, can make an impact. Encouraging people not quite ready to dive totally into paleo, keto or carnivore to at least fully give up the bread, pasta, crackers, cookies and refined starches and franken-food products can save a life (or a brain). Carbs, Fats, and Brain Health: 10,000‑Person MRI Study A large cross‑sectional analysis of nearly 10,000 middle‑aged adults across four countries linked higher carbohydrate intake to more "silent" vascular brain changes on MRI (covert infarcts and white matter hyperintensities) and slightly lower cognitive test scores, while higher total fat—especially monounsaturated fats—tracked with fewer MRI lesions and better processing speed. In fact, swapping just ~5% of calories from carbohydrates to monounsaturated fat (think extra‑virgin olive oil, avocados, nuts) was associated with lower composite vascular brain injury. Because this was cross‑sectional, we can't infer causation, and the effects were modest—but the pattern aligns with what we know about metabolic health, carbohydrate quality, and nutrient density. Practically, that looks like moderating refined starches and sugars, keeping protein adequate, and favoring whole‑food fats from olive oil, fatty fish, pasture‑raised eggs, nuts, and seeds—then personalizing to your glucose response, genetics, and activity level. In a world where metabolic diseases and mental health issues are at the forefront of daily life - we have a responsibility to remind people 1. It doesn’t have to be like that
