Surprising numbers to track to see how long you'll live:

1. Body fat %
2. Bone density
3. Grip strength
4. 1 mile run time
5. Daily fiber intake
6. Resting heart rate

Here’s why 👇
1. Body Fat

Excess body fat, especially visceral fat, drives insulin resistance, inflammation, and chronic diseases.

Lower, healthy body fat means better hormones, better energy, and a longer healthspan.

Use the chart below to determine a healthy percentage % Image
2. Bone density

Low bone density increases fracture risk, loss of independence, and mortality.

You don’t “feel” bone loss until it’s too late. Strength training protects it early.

Strong bones are your insurance against aging.

Use a DEXA scan to track your score here: Image

After 20+ years of health coaching, here is every fat loss tip I could come up with:

1. Take 5 grams of creatine for the muscles. Take 10-15 grams of creatine for the brain.
2. To build muscle lift weights 3x a week, hitting each muscle at least 2x. Every session, add more reps or weight. Aim for an FFMI of 18.5-22 (men) or 15.5-18.5 (women)

3. To lose weight, eat at a calorie deficit of 500 or slightly higher depending on how much you have to lose.
4. Focus on 2 numbers: Calories and protein. For protein aim 30-60 grams a meal and a total of .7 to 1 gram per lbs of bodyweight.

5. Eat 3 nutrient-dense meals according to your circadian rhythms. No snacking. This improves energy and automates hunger.

Things I've learned becoming a dad at 40 years old:

1. Your health becomes the most important thing in your life. If you want a chance to see your kids grow up you need to take care of your body.
2. Lifting weights becomes a non-negotiable. This will be the difference between independence and the nursing home.

3. You can be 40 years old and feel like in your 20s if you do the right things for your body.

4. You never know how important good health is until you lose it.
5. Having children will light a fire under your ass and increase your capacity to earn.

6. Kids make you feel younger. The ability to see things through your child's eyes and how they embrace curiosity is a great way to ignite your desire to learn new things.

7 foods to avoid if you want to eliminate visceral fat permanently:

1) Alcohol
2) Fried Foods
3) Sugary foods
4) Refined carbohydrates
5) Processed meats
6) Fast foods
7) Sugary sodas

Here's why 👇🏼
1. Alcohol

Alcohol isn’t just empty calories, it's a metabolic roadblock.

When you drink, your body stops burning fat to clear the alcohol first. It also spikes cortisol, which contributes to belly fat storage.

Alcohol is the first to go if you want to eliminate visceral fat.
2. Fried Foods

When food is fried, oil gets absorbed into it, tripling the calories.

High-heat frying also creates trans fats and acrylamides both directly linked to inflammation and visceral fat gain.

Swap frying for baking, air-frying, or sautéing.

5 hidden signs you might live to 90 or older (87% of people will fail at number 3):

1. Walking speed

This is a sign of function and cardio.

A pace over 1 m/s (2.2 mph) predicts longer life. A stride of over 2.7 mph shows mortality risk drops dramatically. Fast walkers age slower.
2. Resting heart rate

A low RHR means your heart is efficient and your stress response is balanced.

Under 70 bpm is solid. Under 60 bpm is elite longevity territory.

If you’re above 80–90 bpm at rest, it's a sign that you need to build your aerobic engine.
3. Sit-and-rise test

Sitting on the floor and stand back up without using your hands is a display of strength, balance, mobility, coordination, and independence as you age.

By age 85, roughly 2/3's of all injury‑related deaths are due to falls.

Only 1 in 8 adults can do this.

Weight loss hacks I know at 46 that I wish I knew at 26:
1. Eat similar meals every single day. This makes eating simple, removes decision-making, and helps you hit your macros and calories consistently.

2. Avoid eating things out of a bag as this can cause overeating. Instead, put your portion on a plate and put the bag away.
3. Get an under-the-desk treadmill. Do walking zoom meetings, watch videos, or read. This will easily add at least 5,000 to 10,000 extra steps per day without even thinking about it.

4. Chew your food until it becomes liquid. This improves digestion and increases your feelings of fullness.
