Avocado: FREE MASTER CLASS on FODMAPS TODAY @ 4pm PST

_

Did you know that eating over a 1/4 or 1/5oz of Avocado could upset your stomach and gut?

_

Avocado has a natural sugar alcohol called Sorbitol.

_

Sorbitol is a Polyol & over consumption of this natural sugar substitute could upset your stomach and gut.  Most likely give you a serious case of lead stomach!

_

You know…that feeling of having a piece of lead in your stomach, a heavy uncomfortable feeling.

_

Sorbitol is poorly & incompletely absorbed by most humans in the small intestine.  Moderation is the key.

_

Polyol are the “P” in FODMAP.

_

FODMAPs are short-chain carbs in our foods that are rapidly fermented & can be poorly absorbed.

_

I’m not saying avocado is bad for you, in fact it could work well in a balanced whole food nutrition plan.

_

What I am throwing down here is the importance of food rotation & MODERATION!

_

Don’t eat the same foods 5x a day.  Rotate the goods & your gut will be much happier 🙂

_

Come to my Master Class on FODMAPs and Gut Health!  Seriously…its free!

Cashews: FREE MASTER CLASS on FODMAPS 2/24/20 @ 4pm PST

_

Did you know eating over 10 cashews could be causing some stomach and GI issues?

_

Cashews are a legume NOT a tree nut.

_

Cashews fall in the ‘O’=  of F’O’DMAP

_

Oligo-saccharides = Fructans(FOS) & Galacto-oligosaccarides(GOS)

_

FOS & GOS is a longer chain sugar that humans do not have the enzymes to digest.  NOW…some FOS & GOS is good.  It can help with the good bacteria in you gut.  BUT…moderation is the key.

_

FODMAPs are short-chain carbs in our foods that are rapidly fermented & can be poorly absorbed.

BUCKWHEAT: SOBA NOODLES: FREE MASTER CLASS on FODMAPS 2/24/20 @ 4pm PST

_

Did you know that Buckwheat (SOBA Noodles) is a FODMAP friendly carb?  Just make sure you get 100% buckwheat!

_

That’s right! Buckwheat is a seed, therefore it’s a green light when following a FODMAP plan.  It’s also gluten free since buckwheat is made from a seed.

_

FODMAPs are short-chain carbs in our foods that are rapidly fermented & can be poorly absorbed.

_

Buckwheat & SOBA noodles, in fact can work well in a balanced whole food nutrition plan.

_

My Master class is not all about what you CAN’T have.  It’s about teaching you what you can have while working on a FODMAP.

_

What I am throwing down here is FODMAP is NOT a forever plan.

_

Ultimately FODMAP is not a forever plan.  It’s a plan to get better acquainted with your belly and gut!

A little toot here, a little toot there….

Man, I just started to eat more healthy food & I’m rootin’ & tootin’ all over!

I hear this all the time & everyone is so quick to blame it on the increase in lean animal protein intake!  All the damn time!  Chances are it has nothing to do with the protein.

_

Guess what…You may actually have an issue with FODMAPs!  What the FLOCK are FODMAPs?

I HAVE BEEN THERE!

_

Are you seeing a decline in your energy?

_

I have been there…

_

Are you having unexplained anxiety to everyday normal events in your life?

_

I have been there…

_

Are you gaining or not losing belly fat even though you are exercising regularly?

_

I have been there too…

_

Are you not sleeping well?

_

Been there…

_

One last THING…Is your libido down?

_

Yup I have been there too…

_

PICTURE LEFT: 2016.  I was in my mid-30s.  My muscle was not there, & my belly was so bloated and big, even though I was doing a well-planned strength training & conditioning program.  I just was NOT getting results!  So damn frustrating!  My wife @ironbodybyartemis & I would have conversations about what was up with me.  Why did I have such a long list of challenges?

_

PICTURE RIGHT: this past Jan 2020 in Hawaii following a training session with my wife!  Less belly fat, sleeping better, & showing off the muscle I bust my ass for!

_

How did I get there…HORMONE OPTIMIZATION.

_

Hormone Optimization supports three pillars to enhance testosterone & hormone optimization; strength training to aid building lean body mass while decreasing fat, balanced nutrition & guidance with lifestyle changes.

_

BEST WAYS TO OPTIMIZE TESTOSTERONE & BUILD MUSCLE!

_

-Balance your nutrition:  Well-balanced amounts of protein, carbs, & fats

_

-Get 7-8 hours of sleep.  Sleep is an easy way to help aid in testosterone production & decrease belly fat

_

-Eliminate SOY & yes-àFLAX.  These are known estrogenic.  Get them out!

_

-Follow a properly designed & programmed exercises program.  There are no cookie cutter approaches.  Hire a coach to design & help you train better.

_

In the video I am pressing  1/2 my body weight(40kg = 88lb).  I feel this should be the goal of all men!  We need to have upper body strength for continued youth & vitality.

_

At the age of 41, this could only happen with balance & optimized hormones!

_

Optimized Hormones = Optimized Strength & muscle!

_

My program EmpowerU: Men focuses on supporting three pillars to enhance testosterone production; strength training to aid building lean body mass while decreasing fat, balanced nutrition & guidance w/ lifestyle coaching.
