You've been lied to.

The foods they say are killing you…

Are actually superfoods.

Here are 8 foods you should be eating every day:

1. Butter Image
Myth: High in saturated fat, clogs arteries.

Truth: Butter, especially grass-fed, is a source of vitamins A, D, E, and K.

In moderation, it can be part of a healthy diet.
2. Salt

Myth: Causes high blood pressure and heart disease.

Truth: While excessive sodium intake can be harmful, salt is essential for:

• Hydration
• Nerve function
• Muscle contractions

The key is balance and choosing quality sources like sea salt or Himalayan salt.
3. Eggs

Myth: High in cholesterol, bad for your heart.

Truth: Eggs are a great source of high-quality protein, vitamins, and healthy fats.

They actually raise HDL (good) cholesterol and are not linked to heart disease in most people.
4. Red Meat

Myth: Causes cancer and heart disease.

Truth: Lean cuts of red meat are rich in protein, iron, zinc, and B vitamins.

It's about choosing quality and moderation, not elimination.
5. Full-Fat Dairy

Myth: High fat leads to obesity and heart problems.

Truth: Full-fat dairy contains essential fatty acids, vitamins A and D, and can help with satiety, reducing overall calorie intake.
6. Potatoes

Myth: High in carbs, leads to weight gain.

Truth: Potatoes are rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamins C and B6.

When prepared healthily (like baked or boiled), they can be part of a balanced diet.
7. Coffee

Myth: Causes dehydration and heart issues.

Truth: Coffee is packed with antioxidants and can:

• Boost metabolism
• Improve brain function
• Lower the risk of certain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.
8. Dark Chocolate

Myth: High in sugar and fat, unhealthy treat.

Truth: Dark chocolate is rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which can improve heart health.

Opt for varieties with 70% cocoa or more.
Conclusion:

Don’t let mainstream media brainwash you into being unhealthy.

If you want 2026 to be the year you finally thrive...

You need to stop making the same mistakes everyone else makes in January.

Here are 10 that will sabotage you (and what to do instead):
1. Setting vague goals

“I want to get healthy” sounds good…

But it’s too vague.

Fix it:

• Make your goal specific.
• Define what success looks like.
• Example: “I’ll lose 10 lbs in 3 months by eating 1800 calories and working out 4x/week.”

Clarity leads to action.
2. Not having a plan

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

Fix it:

• Break your goal into actionable steps.
• Schedule those steps into your calendar.
• Example: Meal prep every Sunday or allocate $200/month to savings.

Execution beats intention.

An inflamed body is a sick body.

It’s the root cause of most chronic disease:

• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart disease

8 foods that eliminate inflammation at the root: Image
1. Extra-virgin olive oil

Liquid gold.

High in oleocanthal – the same anti-inflammatory compound found in ibuprofen.

If it doesn’t burn your throat a little, it’s fake. Be sure to control the calories.
2. Wild-caught fatty fish (salmon, sardines, mackerel)

Omega-3s lower CRP and calm systemic inflammation.

Most people are drowning in omega-6s and starving for these.

The average Spaniard lives nearly 10 years longer than the average American.

Yet they:

• Drink wine
• Eat bread daily
• Rarely go to the gym

So how are they some of the healthiest people on earth?

These 6 main factors make all the difference (copy them): Image

1. Spain's Food Supply Works With Their Bodies

Walk through a grocery store in Madrid vs. America:

Spain:

• Fresh, local ingredients
• Food cooked from scratch
• Minimal processing
• Real ingredients you can pronounce

America has incredible food access, but we've overcomplicated it.

The solution?
Get back to basics.

Shop the perimeter.

Cook more.

Read labels.

Simple beats complicated every time.

Visceral fat is a silent killer.

It’s the fat that wraps around your organs & it increases your risk of:

• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• Early death

Wanna protect yourself?

Here's a simple diet plan that burns visceral fat off you body (& saves your health): Image
Image
1. Beans & Lentils

Full of soluble fiber that binds to fat and flushes it out.

Chili, stews, or salads… they keep you full and your belly lean.
2. Fatty Fish

Fish like:

• Salmon
• Mackerel
• Sardines

Packed with omega-3s that fight inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity.

2 servings a week can help reduce the fat stored around your organs.

Left: Lost, Overweight & Depressed
Right: Jacked, Man of God, Happiest I've ever been

It didn’t happen overnight…

But here are the 8 habits that changed my life: Image
1. I started my day with God, not my phone.

Before checking emails, social media, or texts, I open my Bible.

10 minutes of scripture sets my mind on eternal things, not temporal stress.

When you win the morning spiritually, you win the day physically.
2. I made movement non-negotiable.

Not "when I feel like it." Not "if I have time."

Every. Single. Day.

Whether it's lifting, walking, or playing pickleball - my body moves daily.

God gave you a body that thrives on movement. Honor that design.

The strongest predictor of how long you’ll live:

Grip Strength.

It’s not just about "being strong"…

It’s a direct reflection of your overall health.

Here’s why grip strength matters, what it reveals, and how to improve it:
1. What Is Grip Strength?

Grip strength = how much force your hand can produce when squeezing.

But it’s more than just hand power.

It reflects:

• Nervous system health
• Muscle quality
• Coordination
• Hormonal balance

And it’s one of the most reliable health markers we have.
2. Why Grip Strength Predicts Longevity

Study after study shows this:

The weaker your grip, the higher your risk of:

• Heart disease
• Stroke
• Cancer
• Cognitive decline
• Early death

It’s more predictive than blood pressure, BMI, or cholesterol.
