After I tore my achilles tendon when I was 16 years old I had to find a different athletic outlet other than long distance running...

And out of all the routines that I've created over the years, there's one simple formula I keep coming back to. It's called the "20/20 Workout Formula" and I use it once a week to boos...

Sometimes the best and only way to accomplish the goals you set for yourself is to literally get out of your own way...

Wouldn't it be nice if the advertising and marketing we're constantly bombarded with actually shared the truth about health, wellness, weight loss and the connection to the foods we eat?

I don't know if you've ever had to suffer any hardship or overcome any health issues in your life, but what I can say is that eventually the ebb & flow of life catches up with all of us... This can come in the form of a sick parent, auto-immune issues, disease, weight issues, or feeling depressed... The real problem is that most of us believe that the issues we suffer from our completely unique to us and that no one knows what we're going through... This can then lead to an even deeper state...

Too often we're told we need to eliminate all carbohydrates in order to lose weight, tone up, or get in great shape...
